What you need to know before having EMPOWERRF treatments
Empower RF is a comprehensive non-surgical platform delivering treatments for feminine conditions. It leverages three complimentary energy modalities:
(1) submucosal fractional radiofrequence
(2) intra-vaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
(3) bipolar radiofrequency.
The unique combination of multiple modalities allows for customized, layered procedures to address a broad range of age groups and feminine conditions including: urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, pelvic floor weakness, genitourinary syndrome of menopauses (GSM), vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), changes in the aesthetic appearance of the female anatomy.
Although radiofrequency (RF) & electric muscle stimulation (EMS) treatments can be very effective modalities to manage feminine conditions, there is no guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied with the result. Other treatments should also be considered, these include, but not limited to: topical cream, prescription medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle modification, counselling, other forms of energy devices, surgery, or no treatment at all.
