Pelvic Floor Strengthening
with EmpowerRF VTONE
What We Address
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Leakage that occurs during physical activity, laughing, sneezing, or coughing is known as stress incontinence. It happens when the pelvic floor muscles are not strong enough to support the bladder under sudden pressure. VTONE strengthens these muscles to improve bladder control during the everyday activities that trigger leakage.
Urge Incontinence
A sudden, strong urge to urinate that is difficult to control is a hallmark of urge incontinence. Pelvic floor dysfunction plays a role here as well, and strengthening and rehabilitating the pelvic muscles helps reduce the frequency and severity of these episodes.
Mixed Incontinence
Many women experience elements of both stress and urge incontinence simultaneously. VTONE addresses the underlying pelvic floor weakness that contributes to both types, making it a practical option for women with mixed presentations.
Post-Partum Pelvic Floor Weakness
Pregnancy and delivery place significant demands on the pelvic floor, often leaving it weakened even after physical recovery is otherwise complete. Women experiencing leakage, heaviness, or reduced pelvic control following childbirth benefit greatly from targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation.
Age-Related Pelvic Floor Changes
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause weaken the tissues and muscles of the pelvic floor over time, contributing to increased incontinence and reduced pelvic support. VTONE offers a non-surgical way to rebuild the strength that naturally diminishes with age.

How EmpowerRF VTONE Works
Step 1: Preparation
Step 2: Pelvic Floor Stimulation
The VTONE device delivers a series of gentle electrical pulses to the pelvic floor muscles, causing them to contract and relax in a controlled therapeutic rhythm. The intensity is adjusted to a level that is effective without being uncomfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a rhythmic squeezing that feels like a guided, much stronger version of a Kegel exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is VTONE the same as doing Kegel exercises?
VTONE produces far more targeted and intense muscle contractions than most people can achieve through voluntary Kegel exercises alone, particularly for patients with significant pelvic floor weakness. Think of it as guided, amplified pelvic floor therapy rather than simply a replacement for Kegels. We often recommend incorporating Kegel exercises between sessions to complement and extend the results.
Is the treatment comfortable?
Yes. The electrical stimulation is gentle, and the intensity is always adjusted to your comfort level. The sensation is unfamiliar at first for most patients, but discomfort is not a typical part of the experience. Most patients adjust quickly within the first few minutes of each session.
How many sessions will I need?
A series of six sessions scheduled twice weekly is a common starting point for meaningful pelvic floor rehabilitation. The number of sessions may vary depending on the severity of your incontinence and how your muscles respond to treatment. Maintenance sessions every few months help sustain the results long term.
Is there anything I need to do between sessions?
We often recommend incorporating daily Kegel exercises between VTONE sessions to reinforce the muscle activation and accelerate progress. Your provider will give you specific guidance based on your starting point and how your pelvic floor is responding to treatment.
Can VTONE help with symptoms beyond incontinence?
Yes. Strengthening the pelvic floor often improves related concerns, including pelvic heaviness, reduced sensation during intimacy, and overall pelvic support. Many patients report improvements in multiple areas of pelvic wellness as a natural result of completing their VTONE series.
Can this be combined with other EmpowerRF treatments?
Absolutely. VTONE pairs naturally with other EmpowerRF modalities for patients who want to address pelvic floor strength alongside vaginal rejuvenation or intimate health concerns. We help design a combined plan during your consultation based on your full picture of needs.
