At-Home Light-Emitting Diode and Massage Device for Vaginal Rejuvenation

Принадлежит:

A light emitting module and massage device provide vaginal rejuvenation. The device exposes collagen in the vaginal area or mucosa to temperatures elevated over normal body temperature to cause the collagen to reversibly or irreversibly denature while simultaneously applying vibration. Once thermally-induced collagen denaturation has occurred, both neoelastogenesis and neocollagenesis may occur and may be initiated with fibroblast proliferation, which may be promoted with vibration. Neofibrogenesis also occurs due to the fibroblastic activity, responsible for secretion of new collagen matrix to effect tissue repair. Thus, the device exploits thermally-induced collagen denaturation and repair along with simultaneous vibration to improve tissue tone, connective tissue tension and bulk tissue regeneration. 1. A rejuvenation device comprising: a shell forming an external surface of the insertable section that is adapted to contact vaginal tissue, the shell comprising a treatment band formed around a circumference of the shell and designed to allow passage of light through the treatment band,', 'a component enclosed within the treatment band, the component extending length-wise along the treatment band, and', 'one or more light emitters arranged around the component;, 'an insertable section that is insertable into a vagina, the insertable section comprisinga vibration mechanism configured to provide vibration to the vaginal tissue; anda controller configured to communicate with the one or more light emitters and the vibration mechanism to control delivery of light and vibration to the vaginal tissue.2.

Embodiments of the invention can mitigate motion sickness by disrupting, controlling, or influencing anatomy of the vestibular system, including, for example, otoliths, endolymph, and hair follicles. An embodiment of the invention may induce vibrations in the vestibular system, including otoliths and/or semicircular canals of the inner ear, thereby causing noisy or unreliable sensory information in signals sent to the brain from the vestibular system. Due to this noisy or unreliable sensory information, the brain, as part of a normal physiological response, may rely less on signals received from vestibular system and rely more heavily on other sources, thereby mitigating the motion sickness response, vertigo, vestibular migraines, and other physiological responses to inconsistent sensory information. Vibrations in the vestibular system may be induced by an agitator placed on an individual's head near the vestibular system. Vibrations in the vestibular system may also be induced by a transducer placed near the eardrum or directly on an individual's head. Embodiments of the invention may optionally include implantable components in addition to extracorporeal components. 1.
