Over time, the stresses of aging, pregnancy, childbirth, hormone fluctuations, and menopause can weaken women’s pelvic floor muscles, causing stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence, as well as decreased sexual sensation and satisfaction. These symptoms can leave you feeling embarrassed and lacking confidence.
To help women regain control of their sexual health, the Women’s Wellness Institute of Dallas offers the VTone procedure. This treatment is designed to strengthen the pelvic floor and reduce these common distressing issues.
What Is VTone?
VTone is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared technology designed to rehabilitate pelvic floor muscles using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education. This gentle, effective, and non-invasive treatment helps tone and train pelvic floor muscles, significantly improving symptoms of urinary incontinence and vaginal relaxation.
Benefits of VTone
VTone offers several fantastic benefits for women dealing with pelvic floor issues. Here’s how it can help:
- Better Bladder Control: VTone can be used for pelvic floor muscle strengthening, which means fewer leaks and better control over your bladder. Say goodbye to those embarrassing moments.
- Enhanced Intimacy: By toning and tightening your pelvic muscles, VTone can boost sexual sensation and satisfaction, making intimate moments more enjoyable.
- No Surgery Needed: VTone is completely non-surgical. That means no incisions, minimal discomfort, and you can get back to your normal activities right away.
- Quick and Easy: Each VTone session usually takes less than 30 minutes, so it’s effortless to fit the appointments into your busy schedule without any major disruptions.
- Safe and Proven: VTone is an FDA-approved treatment proven to effectively strengthen your pelvic floor and reduce urinary incontinence. You can trust it to deliver results.
- Boost Your Confidence and Quality of Life: With better control over your bladder and improved sexual satisfaction, you’ll feel a lot more confident and enjoy a better quality of life.
How VTone Works
During a VTone treatment, a disposable electrostimulator, about the size of a tampon, is inserted into the vaginal canal. This device triggers involuntary muscle contractions, effectively toning and tightening the pelvic floor. These contractions specifically target muscle fibers that have been weakened or overstretched due to pregnancy and childbirth.
What to Expect in a VTone Session
When you come in for a VTone session, here's what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: We’ll start with a brief consultation to discuss your goals and address any concerns. This helps us customize the treatment to your specific needs.
- Minimal Preparation: You’ll change into a gown and lie down in a comfortable position. The procedure is non-invasive, so no special preparation is required on your part.
- VTone Treatment: The VTone device is gently inserted into the vagina and remains in place during the treatment. It works by stimulating and strengthening your pelvic floor muscles. You might experience a mild tingling sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated and not painful.
- Quick Session: Each session typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
- Immediate Return to Activities: No downtime is needed after the treatment, so you can return to your normal activities immediately.
How Many VTone Sessions Will I Need?
VTone treatments are typically administered in a series of six to eight sessions over three months. Each session is quick, painless, and completed in 30 minutes.
Most patients experience increased urinary control, reduced bladder leakage, and improved sexual function and sensation after completing the full VTone series. The results are cumulative, with optimal muscle strengthening usually occurring one to two weeks after the final treatment.
Once you’ve completed a series, you’ll have annual maintenance treatments. VTone quickly restores your confidence and quality of life without surgery or downtime.
Combining VTone With Other Treatments
When combined with Morpheus8V and Votiva treatments, VTone becomes an even more powerful urinary leakage treatment.
Morpheus8V uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling for vaginal tightening and rejuvenation. This treatment boosts collagen production, making the tissue firmer and more elastic, which helps reduce urinary incontinence and enhances sexual function.
Votiva also uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the vaginal and pelvic floor tissues. This promotes the production of collagen and elastin, improving tissue strength and flexibility, which addresses both urinary incontinence and vaginal laxity.
By combining these treatments, VTone, Morpheus8V, and Votiva work together to strengthen the pelvic muscles and enhance tissue structure.
