Vagina tightening therapies risky - Experts

Women are being warned against risky cosmetic "rejuvenating" procedures to reshape and tighten the vagina.


Experts say the "therapies", offered by some private clinics in the UK and the US, pose a serious risk of burns, scarring and recurring pain.

Typically during these procedures, a probe is inserted into the vagina to heat or laser the vaginal tissue.

Although it is non-surgical and can be done in a lunch hour, it is not necessarily safe, say officials.

Laser and energy-based devices have been approved for use in destroying pre-cancerous cells in cervical or vaginal tissue, as well as genital warts, but they have not undergone testing for rejuvenation therapies.

Wearing a tie to work might be limiting your thinking skills

Maybe it’s time to pack in the formal dress codes and just let people work in clothes they find comfortable.


Think about how much more you could get done without the pain of wearing heels or having to sweat through a suit.

Some evidence to bring up to your boss: According to a new report published in Neuroradiology, wearing a tie might be limiting workers’ creative abilities.

It’s thought that wearing a tie squeezes the neck veins and limits the blood flow, potentially slowing down the brain’s processing and limiting your thinking skills.
