Overview
Overview
Urinary incontinence is very common among women, particularly those who have experienced childbirth or pregnancy and women who are peri-menopausal or in menopause. At Femme we offer VTone which is specifically designed to strengthen the muscles associated with incontinence and is FDA-cleared to improve all types of urinary incontinence including stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence, overflow incontinence and function incontinence.
How it works
How it works
VTone utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions re-educate the muscles of incontinent patients. This gentle, effective treatment series rehabilitates a women’s pelvic floor muscles to improve the overall quality of life.

Preparation & Aftercare

- Remove any jewellery or piercings near the treatment area.
- It is advised to use the restroom to urinate immediately prior to treatment.
During procedure

During your V Tone treatment, a two-sided applicator tip is inserted comfortably into the vaginal canal to trigger involuntary muscle contractions. These contractions tone and tighten the pelvic floor muscles, targeting the muscle fibres that have become weakened or overstretched during pregnancy and childbirth.
Aftercare
Aftercare
- The patient should use the restroom to urinate immediately after treatment
- In case of vaginal discharge, a panty liner may be worn for the first day after treatment
FAQ
Have further questions or want to learn more?
How many treatments are required for optimal results?
As with any muscle, the more contractions performed, the stronger the muscle will be. While a single pelvic floor treatment will likely provide mild benefits, optimal results are seen following a series of 6-8 treatments over 3 months. Patients return for maintenance treatment every 6-12 months.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No, there is no recovery/downtime with V-tone. Results are cumulative and maximum results are felt 1-2 weeks after the last treatment. Some women report feeling a bit sore the day following their initial treatment, as is expected when starting a new exercise routine.
What are the risks of VTone?
There are no negative side effects of VTone. Women with a history of a hypertonic or tense pelvic floor should not chose the procedure as their symptoms can worsen. Other contraindications are patients with cardiac pacemakers and internal defibrillators or any active electrical implant/device in any region of the body.
