This advanced platform can treat urinary incontinence, improve sexual wellness, and address other common concerns in women.
Understanding Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence refers to the loss of bladder control and unintentional leakage of urine. There are three common types of incontinence:
- Stress – leakage caused by sneezing, coughing, laughing, or physical activity
- Urge – a sudden, intense need to urinate that can lead
to leakage - Mixed – a combination of both stress and urge incontinence
Urinary incontinence is very common, affecting approximately 62% of women age 20 and older. Weak pelvic floor muscles caused by pregnancy and hormonal changes during menopause are common causes of incontinence in women.
Treatment
The EmpowerRF by InMode is an FDA-approved, multi-functional platform that delivers women’s wellness therapies. This comprehensive, in-office system uses advanced radiofrequency technology to safely and effectively address common concerns such as urinary incontinence, aging tissue, sexual dysfunction, weak muscles, and more.
How It Works
The EmpowerRF VTone intravaginal treatment utilizes electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to gently stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, treating all three types of urinary incontinence.
Additional EmpowerRF therapies include:
- FormaV treats sexual dysfunction often associated with menopause, including pain with sex and vaginal dryness
- Morpheus8 promotes collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars and restore firm skin
- Morpheus8 Body targets fat, tightens skin, and addresses stretch marks and cellulite by stimulating and remodeling collagen
- Tone uses EMS to target, strengthen, and sculpt specific muscle groups
With EmpowerRF, women can receive treatment with little to no discomfort and downtime. Multiple sessions are often recommended, and many patients start to notice a difference after just one treatment.
An Expert Weighs In:
“Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction in women aren’t dirty little secrets, so why aren’t we talking about them? Let’s break societal stigmas leading women to depend on adult undergarments and empower women to seek real solutions. Pelvic floor disorders associated with childbirth, perimenopause, and menopause to name a few, disrupt daily life and can lower confidence. EmpowerRF addresses the symptoms by treating the dysfunction. So, let’s live out loud, ditch the diapers, and reclaim our bodies!”
