Morpheus 8V is a minimally<br />
invasive technology that<br />
uses radio-frequency waves<br />
to trigger the collagen<br />
production, through<br />
microneedling of the vaginal<br />
canal. Many women are<br />
familiar with microneedling,<br />
which is a treatment used<br />
in aesthetics to stimulates<br />
the body’s natural cellular<br />
healing mechanisms by<br />
creating microscopic<br />
channels in the skin with<br />
sterile needles. Similarly,<br />
radiofrequency can also<br />
stimulate the production<br />
of collagen – the building<br />
blocks or “scaffolding”<br />
of elastic, youthful tissue.<br />
Our skin loses about 1% of<br />
collagen every year after<br />
age 25. Morpheus8 was the<br />
first technology to combine<br />
the two modalities and is<br />
used anywhere on the body<br />
to fade acne scars, wrinkles<br />
and loose skin. Morpheus 8V<br />
is the vaginal version of that<br />
treatment. It’s an advanced<br />
nonsurgical treatment<br />
for bladder leakage<br />
which combines these<br />
two modalities to repair<br />
and restore the vagina.<br />
Treatments take about an<br />
hour depending on your<br />
individual needs and have<br />
little to no downtime. The<br />
return of intimacy must wait<br />
for 48-72 hours.<br />
vTone uses Electrical Muscle<br />
Stimulation (EMS) and<br />
neuromuscular re-education<br />
to strengthen the pelvic<br />
floor muscles. This, in turn,<br />
induces a cascade of deep,<br />
firm muscle contractions<br />
not possible to achieve with<br />
simple Kegel exercises. The<br />
vTone is one of the few<br />
FDA-approved nonsurgical<br />
treatments for urinary stress<br />
incontinence. The vTone also<br />
treats vaginal muscle laxity<br />
and urinary frequency and<br />
urgency. Most women notice<br />
much more reliable bladder<br />
control after their series of<br />
treatments and a lot more<br />
pleasure in the bedroom<br />
too! It’s like going to the<br />
gym for your pelvis!<br />
Benefits of vTone — short<br />
sessions, no preparation<br />
required, a non-surgical<br />
procedure, can resume daily<br />
activities right after (yes,<br />
even sex), comfortable and<br />
painless.<br />
FormaV is a non-surgical<br />
procedure that introduces<br />
restorative radiofrequency<br />
energy to tighten vaginal<br />
tissue for complete<br />
rejuvenation. The FormaV<br />
only takes half an hour to<br />
complete. The FormaV is a<br />
special wand-shaped device<br />
that inserts into the vaginal<br />
canal, where it then radiates<br />
restorative radiofrequency<br />
energy into the surrounding<br />
tissue. It can also be used on<br />
the vulva to improve clitoral<br />
sensation and labial laxity.<br />
The FormaV operates at a<br />
high enough temperature to<br />
restore tissue elasticity but<br />
low enough to not form any<br />
scar tissue.<br />
The Empower RF platform is designed to safely and effectively<br />
