Strengthen and Tone Pelvic Floor Muscles
VTone is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to strengthen and rehabilitate the pelvic floor muscles. This gentle, in-office procedure helps treat conditions like urinary incontinence, vaginal laxity, and postpartum muscle weakness by inducing controlled muscle contractions, similar to performing thousands of Kegel exercises. The sessions are quick, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes, and involve no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately.
VTone Helps With These Symptoms:
- Urinary incontinence (stress, urge, and mixed types)
- Frequent urinary urges or sudden leakage
- Vaginal laxity or looseness, often after childbirth or aging
- Pelvic floor weakness affecting daily activities
- Reduced sexual sensation due to decreased muscle tone
- Difficulty performing Kegel exercises on your own
- Mild pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
How VTone Works
VTone uses gentle electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to target and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles—the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowels. During treatment, a small device is comfortably inserted into the vaginal canal, where it sends mild electrical pulses that cause the muscles to contract, similar to doing intense Kegel exercises. These repeated contractions retrain and tone the muscles, improving bladder control, vaginal tightness, and pelvic function. The treatment is painless, quick, and requires no downtime.

- Quick sessions lasting 20 to 30 minutes
- No downtime or recovery period
- Strengthens pelvic floor muscles effectively

Is VTone Treatment Painful?
No, VTone treatments are generally painless. Most patients experience a mild tingling sensation and gentle muscle contractions during the session, similar to performing Kegel exercises. The intensity can be adjusted to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
