Advertorial Using Radiofrequency Energy to Jazz Up Your Sex Life Your sexual health is an important part of your life. If you have vaginal laxity, atrophy, or dryness, sex maybe uncomfortable or painful, which leads to decreased enjoyment and pleasure. Introducing Empower RF by InMode, now at Glo Medical Aesthetics. EmpowerRF by InMode is a collection of new feminine wellness treatment options that utilize safe, effective radiofrequency (RF) waves to tighten and restore vaginal tissue. But how does RF do that? The thermal energy from the device first triggers heat shock proteins to release in the tissue. These heat shock proteins cause fibroblast cells to produce collagen and elastin fibers. Because the tissue increases its cell proliferation and turnover, the body supplies the area with more blood flow, restoring a youthful appearance and functionality to the tissue. With new collagen and elastin fibers, the tissue tightens both internally and externally, and well after your Empower RF session, your body will be continually supplying your skin tissue with these restorative properties that will strengthen the results. Benefits of Empower RF • Tighten vaginal muscles and skin • Increase sexual pleasure and satisfaction • Strengthen pelvic floor muscles • Diminish wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin Who is a candidate? The best results are seen in patients with: • Loose vaginal walls • Loss of sensation during intimacy • Vaginal dryness • Excess labial skin • Wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin • Difficulty controlling bladder • A desire for increased pleasure and sensation during sex! Which Empower RF device is right for me? 30 Nerds! | focuslgbt.com
Morpheus 8V is a minimally invasive technology that uses radio-frequency waves to trigger the collagen production, through microneedling of the vaginal canal. Many women are familiar with microneedling, which is a treatment used in aesthetics to stimulates the body’s natural cellular healing mechanisms by creating microscopic channels in the skin with sterile needles. Similarly, radiofrequency can also stimulate the production of collagen – the building blocks or “scaffolding” of elastic, youthful tissue. Our skin loses about 1% of collagen every year after age 25. Morpheus8 was the first technology to combine the two modalities and is used anywhere on the body to fade acne scars, wrinkles and loose skin. Morpheus 8V is the vaginal version of that treatment. It’s an advanced nonsurgical treatment for bladder leakage which combines these two modalities to repair and restore the vagina. Treatments take about an hour depending on your individual needs and have little to no downtime. The return of intimacy must wait for 48-72 hours. vTone uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This, in turn, induces a cascade of deep, firm muscle contractions not possible to achieve with simple Kegel exercises. The vTone is one of the few FDA-approved nonsurgical treatments for urinary stress incontinence. The vTone also treats vaginal muscle laxity and urinary frequency and urgency. Most women notice much more reliable bladder control after their series of treatments and a lot more pleasure in the bedroom too! It’s like going to the gym for your pelvis! Benefits of vTone — short sessions, no preparation required, a non-surgical procedure, can resume daily activities right after (yes, even sex), comfortable and painless. FormaV is a non-surgical procedure that introduces restorative radiofrequency energy to tighten vaginal tissue for complete rejuvenation. The FormaV only takes half an hour to complete. The FormaV is a special wand-shaped device that inserts into the vaginal canal, where it then radiates restorative radiofrequency energy into the surrounding tissue. It can also be used on the vulva to improve clitoral sensation and labial laxity. The FormaV operates at a high enough temperature to restore tissue elasticity but low enough to not form any scar tissue. The Empower RF platform is designed to safely and effectively treat delicate areas of the body. Treatments are customized and adjusted to treat specific concerns. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results. If you would like to learn more about the InMode Empower RF procedure, please call Glo Medical Aesthetics to schedule a consultation with Erica Jancelewicz, RN BSN at 901-552-3461.
