What Is Vtone?
Vtone is an in-office, nonsurgical treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation to strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles. It is FDA-cleared to treat stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence in women, helping reduce bladder leakage without surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.
Developed by InMode, Vtone is part of the same women’s health platform that includes Morpheus8V. During treatment, a small, comfortable applicator is placed in the vagina and delivers gentle electrical stimulation to the surrounding muscles. This stimulation causes the pelvic floor to contract repeatedly, similar to a Kegel exercise but with greater consistency and intensity than most women can achieve on their own.
How Can Vtone Strengthen the Pelvic Floor?
Vtone strengthens the pelvic floor by delivering controlled electrical stimulation that triggers deep, repeated muscle contractions. Over a series of sessions, these contractions help rebuild muscle strength, improve muscle control, and restore support for the bladder and urethra.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that works like a hammock, supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel. Many factors, along with the natural effects of aging, can stretch or weaken these muscles over time. When the pelvic floor loses strength, it becomes harder to keep the urethra closed under pressure, which can lead to leakage.
Many women are told to do Kegel exercises, but performing them correctly and consistently can be difficult. Vtone helps by activating the muscles directly, so the right muscles engage with every contraction. This process, often called neuromuscular reeducation, also helps your body relearn how to engage these muscles during daily activities.
What Are the Benefits of Vtone Treatment?
Vtone offers a comfortable, nonsurgical way to improve bladder control. Benefits include stronger pelvic floor muscles, fewer leaks, no anesthesia or incisions, no downtime, and short in-office sessions that fit easily into a busy schedule.
Women often choose Vtone because it offers:
- A nonsurgical alternative for managing urinary incontinence
- Convenient treatment sessions, typically about 40 minutes once a week
- No recovery period, so you can return to daily activities right away
- Improved confidence during exercise, travel, work, and intimacy
- Reduced reliance on pads or liners
- The option to combine treatment with other women’s health therapies
For many women, improving bladder control means more than avoiding leaks. It lets them return to workouts, enjoy time with family, and get through the day without constantly worrying about symptoms.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Vtone Pelvic Floor Strengthening?
Good candidates for Vtone are women experiencing stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence or pelvic floor weakness who want a nonsurgical treatment option. It is often a good fit for women who have had children, are going through menopause, or have mild to moderate symptoms.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Leak urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, or exercising
- Feel frequent or sudden urges to urinate
- Have noticed pelvic floor weakness
- Are experiencing bladder changes related to menopause or aging
- Want to avoid or delay surgery
Vtone Before and After: How Does Pelvic Floor Strengthening Treatment Work?
Before Vtone, your provider evaluates your symptoms and health history. During each session, an applicator delivers gentle electrical stimulation to contract the pelvic floor muscles. After treatment, you can return to normal activities right away while your muscles continue strengthening over the course of your treatment plan.
Before Treatment
Your first visit begins with a consultation to discuss your symptoms, how often leaks occur, and how they affect your daily life. Our team may also perform a pelvic exam and review your medical history to confirm that Vtone is appropriate and to rule out other causes of urinary symptoms. No special preparation is usually needed.
During Treatment
You’ll rest comfortably while a small applicator is inserted into the vagina. The device delivers electrical stimulation that causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract and relax in a controlled rhythm. Most women describe the sensation as a tingling or tightening feeling, and the intensity can be adjusted for comfort.
After Treatment
There is no downtime, so you can drive yourself home and return to work or daily activities right away. Our team may recommend avoiding intercourse for a short period after each session. Over time, many women notice fewer leaks and better control during activities that previously triggered symptoms.
How Long Does It Take to See Vtone Results?
Some women notice improvement in bladder control after their first few Vtone sessions. Results typically build throughout the treatment series as the pelvic floor muscles grow stronger, with the most noticeable improvement often seen after completing the full course.
Most treatment plans include six to ten sessions spaced about one week apart. The exact number of sessions depends on your symptoms, their severity, and how your muscles respond. Like other forms of strength training, consistency matters, so completing the full series is important.
Our team tracks your progress throughout treatment and adjust your plan as needed. Pairing Vtone with healthy habits, such as staying active, managing constipation, and practicing pelvic floor exercises at home, can help support lasting improvement.
How Often Is Vtone Follow-Up Treatment Needed?
After completing an initial Vtone series, many women benefit from periodic maintenance sessions to help preserve pelvic floor strength. How often you need follow-up treatment depends on your age, symptoms, lifestyle, and how well your results hold over time.
Just as other muscles can lose strength without regular use, the pelvic floor can gradually weaken again due to aging, hormonal changes, or future pregnancies. Maintenance sessions help reinforce your progress and keep your symptoms well managed.
Follow-up schedules are created based on your individual needs. If symptoms begin to return, contact our office so we can reassess your treatment plan and discuss whether additional sessions or other urinary incontinence treatment options may help.
