Description

Tightra is a safe and effective intimate wellness solution for stress urinary incontinence and vaginal laxity. Clinically tested, Tightra is the first and only home-use device that utilizes Radio Frequency, a medically proven technology that increases blood flow and boosts elastin and collagen production tightening the pelvic floor muscles and reducing urinary incontinence. Vaginal tightening also improves sexual function and vulvovaginal appearance. Radio Frequency energy has been used by the medical community for many years as an alternative to invasive surgery. Now Silk’n, a global leader in home-use medical aesthetic devices, has adapted this technology as an over-the counter vaginal tightening device for at home use.

Benefits

• Increased bladder control
• Relieves discomfort caused by excessive dryness
• Improves vulvovaginal appearance
• Experience results in as little as 4 weeks
• Painless and easy to use

It is estimated that over 33% of women following childbirth and 55% of post-menopausal women, can experience bladder control and other intimate health-related issues. This translates into literally millions of women who are experiencing symptoms that can be improved with Tightra.

Childbirth, aging, hormonal factors and genetics can all contribute to weakened pelvic floor muscles resulting in loss of bladder control, tightness and elasticity.

As women age, the bladder’s ability to store urine can decrease. This can cause stress incontinence, a sudden, intense urge to urinate causing involuntary loss of urine or overflow incontinence resulting in frequent or consistent minor leakage.

After menopause, women produce less estrogen, a hormone that helps keep the lining of the bladder and urethra healthy. Deterioration of these tissues can also cause incontinence and dryness.

Childbirth can weaken muscles needed for bladder control as well as damage bladder nerves and supportive tissue.

Clinical results:  

85% experienced some improvement in stress urinary incontinence symptoms

92 % experienced improved vaginal symptoms

89% experienced improvement in sexual functioning

How it works

Tightra utilizes Radio Frequency energy that flows between the device electrodes. This heat energy stimulates the cells resulting in the increased formation and construction of collagen and elastin fibres which reduces urinary incontinence and improves bladder control. Treatments using Radio Frequency energy also enhance natural lubrication, increase sensation, and improve external appearance.

Treatment Plan

1. Each internal or external treatment lasts for 20 minutes.
2. Use the device in one or both modes 2 or 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
3. After that, reduce the use gradually to once a week, then to every 2 weeks or less frequently, to meet your specific needs.

How to use

Pre-treatment

• Make sure the device battery is not low.
• Empty the bladder before treatment.
• Check that the gel expiry date has not passed.
• Remove the protective cover that is over the electrodes before use.
• Before use, clean the electrodes with a vaginal wipe, and dry with a clean paper towel.
• Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol (including perfumes, sanitizers, or other applications containing alcohol), or acetone to clean the skin before use.
• Remove all piercing or metal from the treatment area before use.

Internal mode treatment

1. Apply a small amount of the gel supplied with the device to all the electrodes. There is no need to apply gel internally.
2. For internal mode treatments, turn on the device by long pressing the control button. The internal mode will be active, and the device will be set to energy level 1. The treatment indicator light will be off (no light). You will feel a vibration and the device is ready for use.
3. Lie down and make yourself comfortable. Start your treatment at energy level 1.
4. Insert the electrodes into the vagina as far as is comfortable for you. When the device is inside the vagina you need to make sure that the device is supported during treatments:

• If your legs are splayed out on the bed, close your legs slightly to hold the device in place.
• If you lie with your legs bent (and feet on the bed), place a cushion under the device to hold the device in place.
• You might also wish to hold the device, if you find that helps to keep the device in place.

During the treatment, you will feel a vibration approximately once a minute.

1. If after 5 minutes you feel comfortable with the heat, move to energy level 2 by short pressing the control button. To use energy level 3 (high), short press the control button one more time.
2. Keep the device in place for 20 minutes. We recommend that you lie still and do not move about. However, it’s good to rotate the device from time to time so that the energy keeps flowing across the electrodes. After 20 minutes the device will shutdown.

In cases of pain or discomfort:

• If you are using energy levels 2 or 3, reduce the energy by pressing the control button 1 or 2 times. Wait 5 minutes for the heat to reduce.
• If you are already using energy level 1, remove the device and wait until you feel OK before using the device again.

1. At the end of the treatment, remove the device, and wipe the external skin around the vagina with a clean dry towel, or wipes specifically for the vaginal area, to remove any gel residue.
2. Clean the device.

External mode treatment

Before use, the skin should be shaven, clean, dry and free of any powders, antiperspirants or deodorants. Also, be sure that the skin is not red or inflamed.

1. Apply a small amount of the gel supplied with the device to the 3 silver-coloured electrodes. There is no need to apply gel internally.
2. For external mode treatments, turn on the device by long pressing the control button, then short press it 3 times. The external mode will be active, and the device will be set to energy level 1. The treatment indicator light will be on (constant white). You will feel a vibration and the device is ready for use.
3. Lie down and make yourself comfortable. Start your treatment at energy level 1.
4. Hold the base of the device and place the 3 silver-coloured electrodes on the labia. The triangular shape of the side with the silver-coloured electrodes will help you position the device correctly.
5. When the electrodes are in good contact with the skin, and you are moving the device, you will feel heat emitted from the electrodes. Keep moving the device slowly but firmly across the skin. If there is no movement, the Bi-Polar RF energy will not work.

During the treatment, you will feel a vibration approximately once a minute.

1. If after 5 minutes you feel comfortable with the heat, move to energy level 2 by short pressing the control button. To use energy level 3 (high), short press the control button one more time.

If the energy level is right for you but it feels too hot now and again, increase the area you are treating and/or keep moving the device around the treatment area.

If you find it difficult to move the device across the skin, you may apply another small amount of gel on the 3 electrodes

1. Continue to glide the device across the labia. After 20 minutes the device will shutdown. In cases of pain or discomfort: remove the device, and wait until you feel OK before using the device again.
2. At the end of the treatment, remove the device, and wipe the external skin around the vagina with a clean dry towel, or wipes specifically for the vaginal area, to remove any gel residue.
3. Clean the device.

After treatment

After internal or external mode treatments, we recommend that you:

• avoid very hot water for 2 days after the treatment.
• contact your physician if there is any indication of infection, excessive swelling, redness, pain, or any other unusual symptom.
