InMode’s EmpowerRF is a state-of-the-art multi-functional platform designed to provide women with unparalleled wellness therapies. The platform is equipped to perform various treatments, using five distinct technologies:

• VTone
• FormaV
• Morpheus8
• Morpheus8 Body
• Tone

The EmpowerRF platform uses bipolar radiofrequency (RF) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to help women with a range of issues. Across its varied treatments, the EmpowerRF platform can strengthen pelvic floor muscles, abdominal muscles, blood circulation, and subdermal adipose tissue.

In this post, we’ll cover this incredible platform in more detail to help you understand what makes it so beneficial for women’s wellness.

Women Praise EmpowerRF Wellness Technologies

The EmpowerRF platform has been covered across diverse media outlets and attracted attention from some major celebrities.

For example, Eva Longoria (star of Desperate Housewives) has publicly praised the Morpheus8. She has called it the “mother treatment” and credited the treatment with making her “confidence surge again” after giving birth to her son. Longoria is a brand ambassador for InMode, and has discussed the company’s innovative technologies openly.

Kim Kardashian has also raved about the Morpheus8 treatment on her Instagram Stories. The star described it as a “game changer” and her “fave laser”.

But how have non-celebrities found InMode’s EmpowerRF treatments? In a review of Morpheus8 for Cosmopolitan, deputy beauty director Lauren Balsamo and beauty writer Elena Chabo both recommended the treatment. Balsamo praised the “natural-looking” results and called it “absolutely worth it”. Chabo stated that Morpheus8 is “so far ahead of other similar treatments” and that it provides skin with a “real refresh”.

The Five Technologies of the InMode EmpowerRF Platform

Treatment providers can use the following technologies on the EmpowerRF workstation:

VTone

The VTone technology provides intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation and neuromuscular re-education to address a number of issues. Specifically, VTone can help with weak pelvic floor muscles and different types of urinary incontinence (urge, stress, and mixed). This is a gentle, effective, efficient treatment to enhance pelvic health.

FormaV

FormaV is an innovative device that uses uniform volumetric deep heating for vaginal rejuvenation. It’s designed to improve elasticity and sensitivity of vaginal tissues by stimulating production of two essential proteins: collagen and elastin.

As a result, FormaV can help with dryness, poor circulation, discomfort during intercourse, and other symptoms that may occur with changes to vaginal tissues.

The non-invasive FormaV device allows for real-time temperature control to ensure treatment providers can tailor the process to the individual’s needs and deliver a comfortable experience.

Morpheus8

The Morpheus8 and Morpheus8V utilize the latest in microneedling technology for highly effective fractional treatments.

The Morpheus8 is suitable for treating different areas of the face, and can be used to handle the following issues:

• Sagging skin
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Acne scars

Microneedling involves tiny needles that create precise punctures in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes collagen production. At the same time, the RF energy administered by the Morpheus8 device leaves treated skin firmer and tighter to reduce the appearance of fine lines

As it’s minimally invasive, the Morpheus8 can achieve real results through a simple process.

The Morpheus8V is designed for vaginal rejuvenation through combined RF energy and microneedling. By creating micro-injuries in vaginal tissue, the Morpheus8V stimulates collagen production and cultivates firmer, more elastic skin. The RF energy applies heat to these tissues simultaneously, prompting more collagen production and firmness.

Morpheus8 Body

The Morpheus8 Body provides fractional coagulation of subcutaneous tissue: it targets the deepest layers of the skin to improve collagen production and remodel treated areas. This can create a more youthful aesthetic and texture in different parts of the body, including:

• Abdomen
• Chest
• Knees
• Arms
• Buttocks

Wherever it’s applied, the Morpheus8 Body uses RF energy and microneedling to transform skin from the inside out.

Tone

The EmpowerRF platform’s Tone technology revolves around electrical muscle stimulation. It triggers involuntary muscle contractions in a safe, structured way, offering a non-invasive solution for streamlining your shape.

The EMS aspect allows Tone to target different muscle groups, increasing their tone and shape to build a more defined form. Tone also boosts metabolism and stimulates fat burning in the treated areas. This can reduce the presence of fat which may not respond to a healthy diet and exercise.

If you have tried sculpting your physique by working out, upping your cardio, and eating right, certain stubborn pockets of fat may still remain. InMode’s Tone technology can assist you in achieving the intended results and complementing your hard work.

How Does the EmpowerRF Treatment Work?

The EmpowerRF platform is a spectacular piece of technology capable of performing various treatments, yet it’s easy to use. The handpieces are sleek, user-friendly, and allow for precision. Treatment providers can customize procedures to suit the needs of each individual, based on their aesthetic goals and challenges.

The versatile platform is capable of addressing a range of issues affecting women at different stages in their lives. It works for non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation, without needing some of the downtime associated with more invasive procedures.

After a Morpheus8 treatment, for instance, you can carry on with your usual activities right after you leave. That makes for a quick, convenient solution with no need to disrupt your work or personal commitments.

InMode’s VTone is a state-of-the-art device designed to treat urinary incontinence. Keep reading to find out how it works, what causes urinary incontinence in women, and more.

How common is urinary incontinence?

Urinary incontinence affects around 10% of the Canadian population (up to 3.3 million people). While 16% percent of men aged 40 and older experience urinary incontinence, it affects 33% of women in the same age group. Only around one quarter of those affected mention it to their doctor.

What causes urinary incontinence?

Weakened pelvic floor muscles can cause urinary incontinence, as they provide the bladder and urethra with essential support. Weaker muscles need to work harder to prevent urine from leaving the urethra until a woman is in a position to urinate comfortably. The stress placed on the bladder and urethra may lead to leakage.

Pelvic floor muscles are typically weakened by pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. But other causes include being overweight, nerve damage, surgery (e.g. hysterectomy), and various medicines (including diuretics).

Urinary incontinence in women is split into two types:

Stress urinary incontinence (SI)

SI refers to accidental urine leakage triggered by coughing, exercising, laughing, and other physical actions. Women affected by SI may be likely to leak urine multiple times a day with simple motions, which can make working, enjoying sports, socializing, or any number of other activities difficult.

Urge incontinence

With urge incontinence, women tend to experience a sudden need to urinate followed by a leak. Some women may have enough time to get to a bathroom before the urine leaves their urethra, but the urge can strike several times a day. It may even happen while sleeping or when hearing the sound of running water.

What is VTone?

VTone is part of InMode’s innovative EmpowerRF multi-functional platform. EmpowerRF was created to provide unparalleled women’s wellness therapies using the latest technologies. It offers:

• Intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
• Sub-dermal fractional microneedling and coagulation
• Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
• Volumetric deep heating with bipolar radiofrequency (RF)

VTone delivers intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation along with neuromuscular re-education. It is a handheld probe, around the size of a standard tampon, shaped for gentle, precise insertion into the vagina.

How can VTone help with urinary incontinence?

InMode’s VTone is a non-invasive way to build stronger pelvic floor muscles. The probe is inserted into the vaginal canal, and when activated, it releases electrical pulses. These stimulate involuntary muscle contractions, which cause the pelvic floor to become tighter and more toned over a number of treatment sessions.

As a result, the VTone can improve muscle fibers that have become weak and overstretched (e.g. through childbirth). You should notice improved tightness in your pelvic floor area, which can improve both SI and urge urinary incontinence considerably.

How long does a VTone treatment session last?

VTone is a non-invasive, fast, painless treatment performed with no need for anesthesia, unlike surgery. Your treatment should be complete within around 30 minutes.

How many VTone treatments will you need?

The exact number of treatment sessions you’ll need to reduce your urinary incontinence may vary, but most women complete their course within six to eight sessions. It depends on the specifics of your urinary incontinence, how weakened your pelvic floor muscles are, and other personal factors.

However, you should notice a significant improvement within a couple of weeks of your final session.

Overall, a course of treatments should last no longer than three months. An annual treatment is recommended to maintain the VTone’s results. 

What other benefits does VTone offer?

VTone also offers the following three benefits:

A non-invasive treatment means no downtime

Downtime is one of the major issues people need to consider when undergoing cosmetic surgery. The body needs to recover from the physical changes created during the treatment, as well as the anesthesia used.

The length of recovery times varies depending on the type of surgery performed and its severity. A patient may need to stay in hospital for a day or more before they can go home, and then they might have to spend days or even weeks recuperating. That can affect their ability to work and stay on top of personal responsibilities.

Fortunately, as VTone is non-invasive, you don’t need to worry about preparing for downtime and rearranging your schedule. The VTone treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible, and while some women may feel a little sore the next day, this is usually no worse than the muscular discomfort caused by trying a new type of exercise.

You can schedule your VTone treatments around your usual commitments, including work, childcare, and social activities.

Improved sensations during sexual intercourse

The vagina changes in different ways with age. It can become more dry than before due to a lack of natural lubrication, caused by reduced estrogen levels during the menopause. This can make intercourse uncomfortable for both people, and requires artificial lubricant to fend off dryness.

The labia also start to become looser with age. That’s because the body produces less collagen and elastin, both of which keep the skin taut. This can also make intercourse more difficult and less satisfying, as can the thinning of vaginal tissues.

But a series of VTone treatments will make vaginal tissues stronger and improve lubrication (by boosting blood flow to those tissues). You may be in a better position to enjoy a more stimulating, fulfilling sex life after VTone treatments.

VTone can be used alongside other cutting-edge treatment technologies

As VTone is part of InMode’s EmpowerRF multi-functional platform, it can be used alongside other technologies to deliver multiple wellness therapies.

For example, the Morpheus8 device combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to promote collagen production. This can create firmer, smoother skin and reduce the visibility of wrinkles.

A Guide to the Morpheus 8V and Women’s Vaginal Health

Childbirth, hormonal fluctuations, advancing age, and menopause can all change your vaginal health throughout your life. You may find that the tissue and skin become less sensitive, looser, dryer, or itchier than before — all of which can be incredibly frustrating (to say the least).

Discussing these changes with friends or medical professionals may be difficult, but treatments are available, including the innovative Morpheus 8V from InMode. This cutting-edge system is capable of improving vaginal health and wellness by combining two different technologies.

In this post, we’ll explore how the Morpheus 8V works, what benefits it offers, and more.

What is the Morpheus 8V?

InMode’s Morpheus 8V is a state-of-the-art medical system designed for vaginal rejuvenation and general vaginal wellness. It utilizes both microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to achieve healthier, more youthful tissue.

How Does the Morpheus 8V Treatment Work?

RF energy is most commonly associated with broadcasting technology, but InMode’s systems utilize it in a completely different way. When applied to the human body, RF energy stimulates the production of collagen, which is a naturally occurring protein.

Collagen plays a crucial role in holding cells together, helping your skin to stay strong and elastic. That’s why normal collagen production is vital for healthy joints, tendons, connective tissue, and bones.

By delivering pulses of RF energy to the vagina and vulva, the Morpheus 8V can cause the treated tissue to become thicker, tighter, and rejuvenated.

Microneedling is another key element of the Morpheus 8V treatment, and also cultivates production of collagen and elastin. The system uses 24 sterile, gold-coated microneedles to puncture the skin. These micro injuries will stimulate formation of collagen and elastic while they heal.

The anterior vaginal wall will become stronger after the procedure, which will lift both the urethra and bladder. That can lead to significantly better urinary function in people affected by incontinence.

What Benefits Does it Offer?

The Morpheus 8V treatment is a fantastic option for women across varied age groups experiencing diverse conditions. Here are a few of the top reasons why:

Achieve More Pliable, Elastic, Youthful Tissue

Your vaginal tissue will become softer, more elastic, and more lubricated after your course of treatments is complete. It will start to look and feel more youthful over time.

Treats a Number of Vaginal Issues

By rejuvenating the vagina, InMode’s Morpheus 8V can treat a number of problems including:

• Loosened vaginal walls
• Discomfort during intercourse
• Sagging, enlarged, and wrinkled labia
• Reduced sensation/stimulation
• Itchiness and dryness
• Decreased sex drive
• Incontinence
• Difficulties achieving orgasm

Whether these issues are the result of childbirth, menopause, or any other cause, the Morpheus 8V system can restore your vagina to a healthier, more comfortable condition.

Noninvasive Solution with Fast Recovery

Morpheus 8V is a safe, noninvasive alternative to traditional surgical procedures. The treated skin will remain intact, so there is no lengthy downtime (unlike with some other vaginal treatments).

You will be able to drive yourself to and from each session if necessary, and continue many of your usual activities without needing to disrupt your plans. However, it’s recommended that you avoid hot baths, inserting tampons, and intercourse for around three or four days after each session.

Suitable for All Skin Tones

This is a safe vaginal treatment for people of all skin tones and types. That sets it apart from other treatments, such as those using lasers, which are generally unsuitable for people with darker skin.

How Long Does the Morpheus 8V Treatment Take?

InMode’s treatment is fairly straightforward and concise. The process typically lasts for around 30 minutes, preceded by numbing to ensure that you stay comfortable for the entire process.

We will discuss the treatment with you in detail beforehand during your consultation. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you have, raise concerns, and get all the information you need to understand what the process will involve.

How Many Morpheus 8V Vaginal Health Treatments Will I Need?

Most people require between three and five Morpheus 8V treatments to achieve their target goals, though the exact number will depend on your situation. We’ll be able to tell you how many sessions you’ll need to improve your vaginal health during your consultation.

Sessions tend to be scheduled for every three to six weeks, but that may vary. The treatment can create results that last around 18 months and possibly longer. You may be able to maintain long-term results if you schedule an annual follow-up session, though more frequent touch-ups may be required. We’ll be able to provide you with more information after discussing your symptoms and goals in person.

What Other InMode Treatments are Available?

InMode has developed a range of other innovative products alongside its Morpheus 8V system. These are used to treat different areas of the body and to achieve varied goals.

The InMode Evolve is just one example. This line consists of three high-end products using RF energy: Evolve Trim, Evolve Tite, and Evolve Tone. Each targets a different area:

• Evolve Trim: Treats cellulite and adipose tissue across the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
• Evolve Tite: Tightens skin and tissue to reduce sagging.
• Evolve Tone: Uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to target muscles and enhance tone to achieve a more defined appearance.

The InMode Evoke system is designed to treat the face only. It uses RF energy to remodel tissues and cultivate a firmer, smoother appearance. With Evoke, the jawline, cheeks, jowls, and neck can all be tightened up to build a more streamlined aesthetic.

Technological innovations in the world of aesthetic treatments have the power to improve patients’ quality of life in different ways. Some problems that could once only be fixed through surgery can now be treated via non-surgical solutions. That means fewer risks, shorter recovery periods, and greater convenience to name just a few of the primary benefits.

InMode is one of the most forward-thinking companies in this field, creating a wide range of technological advancements that incorporate cutting-edge radio frequency (RF), laser, and light devices. One of its most advanced creations is the Plus 90 treatment, designed to support women’s health and wellness by addressing numerous issues.

The Plus 90 is specifically tailored to women experiencing various difficulties in their vaginal region, such as dryness, reduced sensitivity, or urinary incontinence. In this post, we’ll take an in-depth look at the Plus 90 system, exploring how it works, what issues it can treat, and other essential details.

What is InMode’s Plus 90 Treatment?

InMode’s Plus 90 is designed to improve female health and wellbeing through a non-invasive process. It may be the ideal option for women affected by sagging genital tissues, whether as a result of aging, childbirth, or a significant amount of weight loss.

The vaginal canal may become wider over time with age or following childbirth, leaving women unable to enjoy as much stimulation while being intimate with a partner as before. With lax gential tissues, sex may also become uncomfortable and less desirable for women. Sagging gential and vaginal tissues can also lead to urinary incontinence.

Treatment providers utilize the Plus 90 solution to rejuvenate the vaginal and gential tissues, both internal and external, in a comfortable way. It can address weak circulation, muscular issues, reduced sensitivity, and general discomfort in the vaginal area. If any of these concerns are caused by Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), Plus 90 may also have a positive effect.

How Does Plus 90 Work?

The Plus 90 system delivers radio frequency (RF) energy to target areas in carefully controlled amounts. This generates a safe level of heat in the internal and external tissues in the vaginal region.

The heat will enhance circulation, stimulate the local muscles, and thicken the targeted tissues. As a result, the Plus 90 system can cultivate a thicker, stronger, and healthier vaginal lining. The vaginal canal will become narrower, urinary function should improve, and natural lubrication can be enhanced by the Plus 90 system too.

What Happens During the Plus 90 Treatment?

If you experience any of the aforementioned issues in your vaginal region, or you know that a loved one does, the Plus 90 treatment may initially appear daunting. The prospect of undergoing any procedure that targets gential tissues is highly likely to make anyone feel a little nervous. But there really is no need to with InMode’s Plus 90 treatment.

Your treatment provider will be happy to explain the process to you in great detail to ensure that you feel at ease, comfortable, and relaxed. If you have any questions to ask or any concerns to raise before the treatment begins, feel free to do so.

In most cases, the procedure will last for around 15 minutes, which covers both the internal and external tissues. The duration of your treatment may vary, though, but your treatment provider will give you a more accurate length beforehand.

A specially designed probe is utilized during the Plus 90 treatment. You will feel a general sensation of heat once the process begins, but it is not painful — no anesthesia or medication is required.

There may be mild discomfort in some cases, but many people will feel none at all. You will be able to speak to your treatment provider during the process if that will help set your mind at ease.

Is There Any Downtime Involved with the Plus 90 Treatment?

For the vast majority of people who try the Plus 90 procedure, there is no downtime to prepare for, though this may depend on the treatment’s intensity. Some people may experience minor discomfort after the treatment, though that’s certainly not the case for everyone.

You may feel capable of carrying on with your usual routine after a Plus 90 session, based on your treatment provider’s advice. For example, you might feel ready to go straight back to the office, see friends, or simply go home to relax.

How Many Plus 90 Treatment Sessions are Required?

The number of treatment sessions recommended will be based on the specifics of your case. Many people undergo two to three sessions, but most can see and feel a noticeable change after just their first session. The results will continue to improve with further sessions.

What Other InMode Solutions are Available?

InMode has developed other state-of-the-art devices to treat various areas across the face and body. For example, there is the InMode Evolve body contouring treatment that tightens tissue and muscle in different regions. The InMode Evolve system can be used to target the face, neck, jawline, inner thighs, outer thighs, the area below the buttocks, sides (‘love handles’), upper arms, and back. Read more about body contouring treatments.

The InMode Evoke Face system focuses on the face. As an industry first, this is a non-invasive treatment using patented technology to remodel facial tissues, creating a smoother, firmer, more youthful appearance. It uses RF energy to work on the cheeks and jowls specifically.

The InMode Evoke Neck can increase jawline definition and create a more streamlined neck.

These are just three examples of InMode’s broad range of technologies designed to enhance the appearance of different areas of the body through non-invasive methods. As with the InMode Plus 90 treatment, these procedures can achieve lasting results without the need for surgery.
