EmpowerRF Pre-Care & Aftercare: VTone, FormaV and MorpheusV

What EmpowerRF Can Help With

• Urinary leakage, particularly leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise
• Pelvic floor weakness, helping activate and strengthen pelvic floor muscles
• Vaginal laxity or changes in tissue firmness
• Changes in vaginal tissue quality and elasticity
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort related to tissue changes
• Pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation
• Post-pregnancy pelvic floor concerns
• Age-related changes in vaginal tissue
• Overall vaginal and pelvic wellness
• Sexual wellness concerns related to tissue quality, comfort, or pelvic floor function

The Three Technologies

The three treatments work differently, and a plan can combine them.

• VTone, to strengthen. Electrical muscle stimulation helps activate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and may be particularly useful for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness.
• MorpheusV, to remodel. RF energy stimulates tissue remodeling and collagen production to support vaginal tissue firmness, elasticity, and quality.
• FormaV, to rejuvenate. Gentle RF heating supports circulation, tissue elasticity, and overall vaginal tissue wellness.

At Therapeutic Elements, we can customize your treatment based on your individual symptoms, goals, and whether you are already working with a pelvic floor therapist.

Before Your Treatment

• No special preparation is usually required.
• Arrive clean and comfortable.
• You may empty your bladder before your appointment.
• Avoid vaginal products, douching, or other products inside the vagina before treatment.
• Let us know if you are experiencing vaginal irritation, unusual discharge, sores, bleeding, or symptoms of a vaginal or urinary infection.
• Inform us of any recent pelvic procedures, surgeries, or changes in your health.
• If you are experiencing an active vaginal or urinary infection, your treatment may need to be postponed until the infection has resolved.
• For your comfort, we recommend avoiding sexual intercourse immediately before your appointment when possible.

After Your Treatment

EmpowerRF treatments are designed to have minimal downtime. Most clients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.

You may experience temporary mild warmth, tingling, pelvic or vaginal awareness, mild cramping, mild sensitivity, spotting, or temporary vaginal tenderness. These sensations should gradually improve.

The First 24 to 48 Hours

• Stay well hydrated.
• Wear comfortable, breathable underwear.
• Keep the area clean and dry.
• Resume normal activities as tolerated.
• Follow any individualized instructions provided by your Therapeutic Elements provider.

Avoid sexual intercourse for approximately 48 hours, or as directed by your provider. Also avoid tampons, douching or vaginal cleansing products, vaginal creams or other products unless specifically recommended, hot tubs and prolonged exposure to very hot water if the area feels sensitive, and any activity that causes discomfort.

Recovery by Technology

• VTone stimulates the pelvic floor muscles. You may experience mild muscle soreness or pelvic awareness, similar to the feeling after exercising a muscle. Stay hydrated, expect that mild temporary muscle fatigue or cramping can occur, continue your pelvic floor exercises as recommended by your healthcare provider or pelvic floor therapist, and allow your muscles to recover between treatments.
• FormaV uses gentle radiofrequency energy to warm and stimulate vaginal tissue. Mild warmth or sensitivity may occur, most clients return to normal activities quickly, and vaginal irritation should be avoided during the initial recovery period.
• MorpheusV uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate tissue remodeling and collagen production. Mild warmth, sensitivity, or pelvic awareness may occur. Follow the recommended 48-hour period of pelvic rest unless otherwise instructed. Results develop gradually as your body remodels collagen.

EmpowerRF and Pelvic Floor Therapy

EmpowerRF can be an excellent complement to pelvic floor physical therapy. Pelvic floor therapy focuses on muscle strength, coordination, relaxation, and function, while EmpowerRF can provide additional support for pelvic muscle activation and vaginal tissue quality.

Together, these approaches can provide a more comprehensive approach to pelvic wellness. EmpowerRF does not replace pelvic floor physical therapy when therapy is medically indicated.

Your Results

Results develop gradually and vary from person to person. Depending on your treatment, you may notice improvements in pelvic floor strength, urinary control, vaginal tissue firmness and elasticity, vaginal tissue quality, and overall pelvic wellness.

A series of treatments may be recommended to achieve your desired results, followed by maintenance treatments when appropriate. Following your recommended treatment schedule and continuing pelvic floor exercises or physical therapy when appropriate can help support your results.
