Treatment Overview

At The Face Institute, we offer VTone, a revolutionary treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor and improves vaginal tone using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology. VTone is part of the Empower™ RF platform, a scientifically backed, Health Canada & FDA-approved system designed for non-surgical vaginal tightening and pelvic floor rehabilitation.

This treatment is ideal for women experiencing vaginal laxity due to aging, childbirth, or hormonal changes. By using intravaginal electrical impulses, VTone stimulates deep muscle contractions, mimicking Kegel exercises while delivering significantly stronger and more consistent activation than traditional at-home pelvic floor exercises.

How VTone Vaginal Tightening Works

VTone uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) technology to retrain weak pelvic floor muscles, improve vaginal tone, and support bladder control. The device is inserted comfortably into the vaginal canal, where it delivers targeted electrical impulses that cause deep, involuntary muscle contractions, similar to an intense Kegel workout.

Step 1: Muscle Activation

The VTone device emits painless electrical pulses, activating all layers of the pelvic floor muscles, leading to progressive strengthening and tightening.

Step 2: Muscle Memory and Support

As the muscles strengthen over time, they better support the vaginal canal and surrounding tissues, improving tightness, tone, and bladder function.

Step 3: Long-Term Strengthening

With regular sessions, the pelvic floor maintains stronger, more controlled contractions, reducing symptoms of laxity, mild incontinence, and loss of vaginal tone.

Scientific Credentials and Studies on VTone

VTone is part of the InMode Empower™ RF system, a clinically validated platform recognized for its effectiveness in non-invasive pelvic floor rehabilitation and vaginal rejuvenation. Studies have demonstrated that electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) enhances neuromuscular control, improves vaginal tightness, and strengthens the pelvic floor more effectively than standard Kegel exercises alone.

In a clinical study published in the Journal of Women’s Health, EMS therapy was shown to significantly improve pelvic floor function and quality of life for postpartum and perimenopausal women, with high patient satisfaction and no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a Good Candidate for VTone?

  • Women experiencing vaginal laxity due to childbirth or aging
  • Those with mild urinary incontinence or weak pelvic floor muscles
  • Individuals seeking a non-surgical alternative to vaginal tightening
  • Women recovering from postpartum changes affecting vaginal tone

How soon will I feel results?

Many women begin to notice subtle improvements after just a few VTone sessions, including enhanced muscle tone and vaginal strength. However, the most noticeable results typically appear after completing the full treatment series, which is customized to each patient. As the pelvic floor muscles become stronger, improvements in intimacy, bladder control, and overall vaginal health follow. 

Most clients report increased confidence and comfort during physical activity. The gradual, natural progression of results is one of VTone’s biggest benefits. Since it stimulates muscle contractions, results build over time—much like working out. Full benefits are usually experienced within a few weeks of completing treatment.

Is VTone safe?

Yes, VTone is both FDA and Health Canada-approved, and it’s backed by clinical studies showing its safety and effectiveness. It’s a non-invasive, non-surgical technology that uses gentle electrical stimulation (EMS) to target and strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Unlike more invasive methods like surgery or internal mesh devices, VTone carries no major risks or downtime. 

The treatment is designed with sensitive anatomy in mind and is appropriate for a wide range of women—including postpartum clients or those experiencing age-related muscle weakening. Treatments are administered by trained professionals in a clinical setting. Safety protocols are strictly followed for optimal patient comfort and care.

Does VTone hurt?

No, VTone is a pain-free treatment. During the session, most patients feel a mild tingling sensation or rhythmic muscle contractions, similar to doing Kegel exercises. It’s not uncomfortable in fact, many women describe it as oddly satisfying or relaxing. The intensity can be adjusted to suit your comfort level, especially in early sessions. 

There's no heat, needles, or invasive steps involved. Because VTone is non-surgical, there’s no need for numbing creams or recovery time. It’s a great option for anyone looking for pelvic floor strengthening without discomfort or downtime. Many clients return to their regular routine immediately after.

Can VTone help with bladder leakage?

Yes, VTone is clinically proven to improve symptoms of mild to moderate urinary incontinence. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, it enhances bladder control and reduces leakage from stress incontinence (like sneezing, coughing, or laughing). Women often notice fewer accidents, improved confidence, and less need for panty liners or pads. 

This makes VTone especially beneficial for postpartum recovery or age-related bladder weakening. With consistent sessions, VTone supports long-term pelvic wellness. It’s a discreet and empowering solution for women looking to restore control without medication or surgery. Many clients find relief after just a few treatments.

How long do the results last?

The results from VTone can last six months to a year, depending on individual muscle strength, lifestyle, and hormonal factors. To maintain long-term benefits, occasional maintenance sessions are recommended—usually once every few months. Think of VTone like a workout for your pelvic floor: consistency is key. With proper follow-up care, results can be long-lasting and even improve over time. 

Patients who pair treatments with regular Kegel exercises or pelvic health routines tend to see the best outcomes. Since there’s no downtime, maintenance sessions can easily fit into your schedule. Your provider will guide you on the ideal frequency.

Who is a good candidate for VTone?

VTone is ideal for women experiencing pelvic floor weakness due to childbirth, aging, menopause, or hormonal changes. If you're dealing with mild urinary leakage, vaginal laxity, or decreased sensation during intimacy, you may benefit from VTone. It’s also suitable for women looking to enhance overall vaginal health without undergoing surgery or taking medication. 

Since the treatment is non-invasive, it can be safely administered even to clients who aren’t candidates for more aggressive interventions. A consultation helps determine if VTone is right for you. Your provider will assess your goals, medical history, and pelvic floor condition before treatment begins.

Can I combine VTone with other treatments?

Yes, VTone can be combined with other feminine wellness treatments for even better results. Some patients pair it with Morpheus8 V or FormaV to improve both internal and external tone and appearance. These combination therapies allow for more complete rejuvenation addressing concerns like vaginal laxity, dryness, or skin laxity. 

Depending on your goals, your provider may recommend a treatment plan that incorporates multiple technologies over several weeks. By layering treatments strategically, you can enhance outcomes and address both functional and aesthetic concerns. Be sure to discuss your goals during the consultation so a customized plan can be created.

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

No, there is no downtime required after a VTone session. You can return to work, errands, or even exercise right after the appointment. The treatment is completely non-invasive, so there's no need to take time off or limit activity. Some patients may feel a slight sense of muscle fatigue, similar to doing an intense pelvic floor workout, but it passes quickly. 

There are no post-treatment restrictions, although your provider may offer lifestyle tips to support healing and results. VTone is designed to be convenient for modern women effective, quick, and easy to fit into your routine.
