aginal laxity is an under diagnosed and under recognised medical condition that can negatively impact sexual function, self-esteem, and quality of life. V Unfortunately, it is also very poorly discussed and managed by medical professionals. The reason these discussions have been so difficult to have is that, until now, there has not been a safe and effective treatment for vaginal laxity. Recently, a new treatment option has become available. The Geneveve System is a non-surgical, non-ablative medical device that remodels collagen and restores tissue with only one treatment session. Dr Drew Moffrey has the first machine of its kind in Australia: a monopolar radio frequency-based energy system that restores collagen to a deeper level to provide optimal structural support. This machine is different to other energybased systems on the market, as it targets just the introitus (entrance) where the majority of fit and friction occur during intercourse, to enhance a woman’s sexual function. The ideal patient is a post-partum woman with vaginal laxity and who is experiencing an associated decrease in physical sensational and sexual satisfaction during intercourse. For a lot of post-partum women, the decrease in sensation is a result of traumatic overstretching and “loosening” of the tissue at the vaginal introitus during childbirth. Not only can this lead to a persistent decrease in genital sensation in this area, this trauma can cause a reduction in sexual satisfaction, and negatively impact a woman’s sexual relationship. pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 43
