VTone

VTone is a gentle, non-surgical, FDA-cleared technology designed to rehabilitate weak pelvic floor muscles. VTone is powered through the Empower RF platform by InMode. A small anatomically shaped applicator delivers intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) inducing involuntary muscle contractions, strengthening and re-educating the pelvic floor.

Why VTone?

Over time the female anatomy evolves due to multiple factors:

Pregnancy

Childbirth

Hormonal transformations

Menopause

Inevitably, the pelvic floor is negatively impacted leading to:

Pelvic floor weakness

Vaginal prolapse

Incontinence

Types of Urinary Incontinence

Stress Incontinence -Urine leaks when pressure is exerted on the bladder by actions such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects.

Urge Incontinence - A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine. This may include frequent urges to urinate, including during the night. It can be caused by minor conditions like infections or more severe conditions such as neurologic disorders or diabetes.

Overflow Incontinence - Frequent or constant dribbling of urine due to a bladder that does not empty completely

Mixed Incontinence - More than one type of urinary incontinence

Most women should incorporate Kegel exercises into their routine to maintain pelvic floor health. By combining VTone treatment with regular Kegel exercises (pelvic floor exercises) you can enhance the effectiveness, leading to even greater improvements in muscle strength and control in the pelvic floor.

VTone helps restore strength and functionality to the pelvic floor, improving overall pelvic health.

Combination Treatments

VTone can be combined with other treatment options. VTone is commonly combined with with FormaV to enhance firmness, muscle strength, and circulation within the pelvic floor area. The combined procedures result in increased blood flow in the treated area, which may increase the benefits.
