VTone by InMode

Women’s pelvic floor muscles can weaken over time due to pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and hormonal changes. This can cause stress urinary incontinence in addition to decreased sexual sensation. Care for Womens Medical Group offers the VTone by InMode procedure to help restore weaken pelvic floor muscles. VTone provides immediate results with improvements over time.

Female Urinary Incontinence

It is estimated that up to 55% of all women experience some degree of incontinence in their life. Urinary incontinence occurs when the urinary system has lost support from the surrounding muscles, which can be triggered by a cough, sneeze, or pressure during intercourse. Women may feel embarrassed about urinary incontinence and want to be able to fix it.

What is VTone?

VTone is an FDA-approved technology that provides electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles. This device can be used for the treatment of stress and urge incontinence in women. It can also improve vaginal tightness, appearance, and sexual function.

VTone is a non-invasive treatment that tones and trains the muscles in the pelvis by using a single-use electrostimulator. It is placed in the vaginal canal to trigger involuntary muscle contractions which tone and tighten the pelvic floor.

This treatment works especially well for postpartum prevention of urinary issues and can be performed as soon as six weeks postpartum, if cleared by your obstetrician. Women who have experienced loss of tone after childbirth or laxity are good candidates for VTone. VTone is a gentle procedure as compared to some other vaginal rejuvenation treatments.

VTone provides an effective non-surgical option to treat female urinary incontinence in the long term. With VTone, women are able to manage their urinary leakage and avoid bladder mesh surgery and the potential complications and recovery that go with surgery. For optimal results, VTone can be combined with other vaginal rejuvenation treatments.

What Happens During the Treatment?

During treatment, a small electrostimulator is placed inside the vaginal opening, causing muscle contractions. This tightens and strengthens the pelvic floor and vaginal muscles. Many patients feel a tingling with the contractions, otherwise VTone treatments are quick and painless, usually performed within 30 minutes without any downtime. Some report minimal soreness that resolves in a day or two.

Most patients experience better urinary control and less leakage as well as improved sexual sensation. Results of this treatment are cumulative. Many patients receive 6-8 treatments over several months with the final results being visible a few weeks after the last treatment. Some patients notice a difference after just one or two sessions. Annual maintenance treatments are recommended.
