Most women do not experience cramping after using a Photobiomodulation device. However, when reinvigorating and bringing increased blood flow to tissue that has been sedated, it may respond with temporary discomfort or cramping. Similarly to the reaction you have after a limb has fallen asleep and then begins to have an increase in blood flow. It may be uncomfortable at first, but it subsides. Typically this sensation resolves after 2-3 sessions, depending on the health of your vaginal tissue.

Yes! Hemorrhoids are an indication of inflammation, and red light is known for reducing inflammation. The chance for infection is greater when you have hemorrhoids due to restricted blood flow to the area. The blue light used in the MyElle™ wand is antimicrobial and helps support normal bio flora and reduces the non-normal bio flora, preventing infection.

Insertion into the anus will require a significant amount of lubricant and patience. There may be increased discomfort due to the inflammation of the hemorrhoids. The effect of lights on the MyElle™ wand can be sufficient and effective by shining at the anal opening regularly over weeks 2-3 before trying insertion.

The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that uses red and blue light to decrease inflammation and provide antimicrobial benefits.

Yes, it means it's working.

The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that uses red and blue light to help increase the use of oxygen within the vaginal tissue. By Increasing the use of oxygen, your cells can increase ATP production. ATP is the energy currency of your cells. When you increase the amount of available ATP, you increase the health and functioning of your cells.

The light used in the MyElle™ wand stimulates your cells to do work (create more ATP). In ATP production (cellular respiration) by the cells, approximately 60 percent of the energy produced is lost as heat.

If any of the cells within your vaginal tissue have been stagnant, atrophied, paused, and not functioning optimally, you will notice a greater feeling of heat and warmth as those cells begin to heal, regenerate, increase their function, and “do work” (increase ATP production).

You will likely feel more warmth during your initial use, but as time goes on and your cells function more optimally, the warmth is not as noticeable. The health and functioning of your individual cells at the start of use will directly impact the amount and intensity of heat you feel initially.

HPV can be managed with a photobiomodulation device when used in combination with a sensitizer.

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is the most common sexually transmitted disease. It is also one of the leading causes of cervical cancer. Light is proving to be a promising component in the mitigation of HPV; however, HPV must be sensitized with substances prior to treatment with light. What does this mean? Light does not denature the HPV virus independently and is not totally effective at mitigating HPV without using an additional chemical known as a sensitizer which allows the light to penetrate the virus. This process is called sensitizing. By utilizing a sensitizer before using a photobiomodulation device, the light can see and respond to the virus.

The combination of these methods is proving to be an effective method for treating HPV. Light by itself is not a treatment for HPV. At this time, the substances used to sensitize HPV must be applied as an in-clinic application. Hopefully, it will become a home-based treatment in the future. Discuss the option of combining these treatment methods with your provider and find out if it is a good option for you.

A lack of oxygen within vaginal tissue leads to dysfunction, inflammation, pain, dryness, and cracking. Photobiomodulation (PBM) devices restore the use of oxygen within the tissue, promoting proper functioning and healing of the tissue. When used regularly, PBM devices reduce Inflammation and pain and increase functions such as the production of natural secretions.

The use of a photobiomodulation device at home is effective, does not cause pain or require extended healing time. The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that uses red and blue light to help increase the use of oxygen within the vaginal tissue.

By improving the health of your vaginal tissue, you will increase natural lubrication.

Inflammation is caused by 3 things; Injury, disease, and age. This means at one point or another; you will likely experience the effects of inflammation. By increasing oxygen within the vaginal tissue, you can decrease inflammation and its side effects.

The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that uses red and blue light to increase oxygen within vaginal tissue. This reduces inflammation and supports healthy vaginal tissue and cellular function.

PMB provides the information the body needs to function normally.

Yes! Painful sex is most often caused by inflammation and dryness. Inflammation is caused by 3 things; Injury, disease, and age.

By improving the health of your vaginal tissue, you will decrease inflammation and increase natural lubrication, leading to less painful sex.

Yes! As we age, the tissue and muscles of the vaginal canal begin to weaken and decline in function. This natural decline in muscle tone and tissue function can be sped up by childbirth or other health conditions.

The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that uses red light, blue light, and vibration to support healthy vaginal tissue and improve muscle tone.

In a study that monitored the use of Photobiomodulation devices in women for three months, the absence of adverse events, coupled with the ease of use and the affordability of treatment, makes for a viable vaginal atrophy therapy. Histological results showed impressive changes in vaginal health. Patients reported no discomfort with the study treatment device and reported no side effects.

Normal vaginal pH is between 3.8 and 4.5, which is moderately acidic. Vaginal pH is cyclical in nature, which means that it fluctuates throughout a woman's menstrual cycle and life. Estrogen is a regulator of vaginal pH. Lower estrogen generally leads to higher pH (more alkaline). Because of this, some women may find that they are prone to infections during or after menstruation and after menopause. The slightly acidic pH protects women from infections. A fluctuation of vaginal pH is normal, and with the presence of a healthy vaginal biome, infection is less likely to occur. The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation device that uses red and blue light. These wavelengths of light increase the proportion of beneficial vaginal bacteria such as lactobacillus. By supporting the healthy functioning of the vaginal tissue, the body is able to maintain a healthy vaginal pH and fight infections.

The MyElle™ can be beneficial for women of all ages.

Yes! The healthier your vaginal biome is, the less likely you are to suffer from BV. The MyElle™ wand is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that uses red and blue light. Red light supports beneficial vaginal bacteria such as lactobacillus. There is a relationship between the mucus lining, a healthy vagina, and lactobacillus known as the vaginal biome. Red light and blue light support this relationship, and by doing so, the body can more easily fight off infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis or BV. Photobiomodulation also reduces the pro-inflammatory cytokines, which is key to maintaining healthy tissue, leading to a healthy vaginal environment. The benefits of Photobiomodulation also include a reduction in inflammation and pain associated with infections. What are pro-inflammatory cytokines? Cytokines are regulators of a host's immune response to infection and tissue trauma. Some cytokines act as pro-inflammatory, whereas others serve to reduce inflammation and promote healing called anti-inflammatory. By supporting a healthy vaginal biome with the help of The MyElle™ wand, you can reduce your chances of experiencing BV and the consequences of an infection, inflammation, and pain.

It is an excellent choice for women in their 40s, 50s, or 60s who are beginning or are currently experiencing the effects of menopause. Women who are aging, have decreased estrogen, which can lead to thinning and drying of vaginal tissue, as well as an increase in inflammation. The MyElle™ wand can encourage tissue repair, promote tightening, and increase lubrication to make sex more enjoyable. Red light technology has also been shown to increase fibroblast production, which can produce collagen and protect existing collagen. This process assists with skin elasticity.

MyElle™ is a great choice for mothers. The trauma of childbirth can stretch and cause damage to the vaginal walls and surrounding tissues. MyElle's™ unique technology can assist with vaginal elasticity and tightness, by improving collagen formation, similar to the way it assists with menopause symptoms.

Your pelvic floor is a fundamental group of muscles and connective tissues that stretch across the bottom of your pelvis, like a taut and flexible trampoline. The pelvic floor is anchored in the front at the pubic bone, wraps around the vagina and rectal openings, and attaches at the base of the spine. It is vital to maintain the health of your pelvic floor because it supports the proper function of many other essential body processes such as: • Supportive role holding up the bladder, uterus, and rectum • Enhancing and maintaining sexual function and pleasure • Maintaining control of bowel and bladder continence • Providing lower back support by working with abdominals stabilizing the core

• Urinary frequency or urgency This could be the sign of an overactive bladder. An overactive bladder occurs when the muscular fibers of the bladder contract too frequently or at random. A strong pelvic floor can provide a reflex "quieting" of the bladder's irritable contractility, reducing urgency. • Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) Stress incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine due to any physical activity that puts a strain on the bladder, for example, laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercise. This occurs when the pelvic muscles supporting the bladder and urethra have been damaged or weakened, typically during childbirth. • Back pain, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, or with orgasm This often occurs when our pelvic floor muscles are weakened or damaged. • Vaginitis and atrophic vaginitis (vaginal dryness) is inflammation of the vagina that can result in discharge, itching, and pain. Vaginal dryness is most common near menopause when hormone levels change, resulting in the vaginal walls becoming thinner and inflamed. This also causes decreased lubrication. • Uterine or vaginal prolapse Damage to the pelvic floor during childbirth causes pelvic organs to sag or protrude into the vagina, and occasionally beyond the vaginal opening. This can also become more common as we age due to the body's decrease in estrogen, and subsequent loss of elasticity and strength.

Each of MyElle's™ modalities - therapeutic red and blue LED lights, and sonic vibration, contribute to the strengthening, toning, and tightening of the muscles of the pelvic floor. Check out our 'How It Works' section to learn more about the science behind MyElle's™ technology.
