Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Up to twenty (20) healthy pre- and post-menopausal women with self-reported vaginal laxity will be enrolled in the study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The treatment will include: A treatment of the vaginal canal using the NuEra Tight VRF small area handpiece. A treatment of the introitus and vestibule using the NuEra Tight VRF small area hand piece (optional).

This is a single center, prospective, open label, single arm study. Following screening visit, eligible subjects will be enrolled into the study. Each subject will receive 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart and 2 Follow Up (FU) visits, at 1, and 3 months following the last treatment.
