Overview

Here at Femme, we offer FormaV which provides a non-invasive, gentle deep tissues heating for internal and external contraction. It is registered as a therapeutic device for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and to help reduce/improve vaginal dryness. It can also be used externally for vulvar genitalia aesthetics. It provides uniform volumetric deep heating for tissue remodeling with real-time control of surface temperature.
