Pelvic Health and Strength
V-Tone by InMode is a breakthrough, non-surgical treatment that focuses on strengthening pelvic floor muscles, improving muscle tone, and enhancing vaginal health. This innovative therapy is especially helpful for people dealing with mild to moderate incontinence, weakened pelvic muscles, or a reduced sense of vaginal sensation. Using advanced electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), V-Tone offers an effective, gentle approach to pelvic muscle health.
Why Pelvic Health Matters: Understanding V-Tone’s Benefits
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for supporting key organs like the bladder, uterus, and bowel. These muscles play a major role in maintaining continence, sexual function, and overall comfort in daily life. Factors like pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and hormonal changes can gradually weaken the pelvic floor, leading to issues like:
- Stress urinary incontinence: Experiencing leakage when you cough, laugh, or exercise.
- Reduced pelvic support: Weakness that may lead to mild prolapse or general discomfort.
- Decreased vaginal sensation: A common concern that can affect confidence and intimacy.
V-Tone is specifically designed to help improve these conditions by delivering controlled EMS to the pelvic floor muscles, helping them become stronger, tighter, and more resilient.
How Does V-Tone Work?
V-Tone works by delivering gentle electrical impulses to the pelvic muscles through a small, specialized vaginal probe. These impulses cause controlled muscle contractions that mimic Kegel exercises but with a more precise and targeted approach. Over time, the stimulation helps the muscle fibers adapt and strengthen, restoring tone and function to the area.
Here’s what to expect from a typical V-Tone session:
- Short, convenient appointments: Each session typically lasts 20-30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
- No downtime or recovery: V-Tone sessions are painless, and you can resume your regular activities immediately afterward.
- Personalized treatment course: Most patients benefit from a series of six to eight sessions, though your specific plan will depend on your goals and your provider’s recommendation.

- Women with stress urinary incontinence: Those who experience leakage during activities like exercising, coughing, or laughing.
- Postpartum women: Especially those seeking to restore pelvic muscle tone after childbirth.
- Individuals looking to improve vaginal muscle tone: Increased muscle tone can enhance comfort and sensation.

A comprehensive consultation will help determine if V-Tone is the right choice for you.
What to Expect During a V-Tone Treatment
Before starting V-Tone, you’ll have a consultation to discuss your medical history, pelvic health, and specific goals. This initial assessment helps ensure V-Tone is a good fit for your needs.
Each V-Tone session takes place in a private, comfortable setting. A trained professional will insert a thin, sterile probe into the vaginal canal. This probe delivers low-grade electrical impulses directly to the pelvic muscles, causing controlled contractions. The experience is straightforward, typically lasting about 20-30 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and manageable, often comparing it to a light, tingling feeling or gentle muscle stimulation.
What makes V-Tone unique?
- Painless: V-Tone is designed to be comfortable, with no need for anesthesia.
- Quick recovery: There’s no downtime, meaning you can return to your routine immediately.
- Safe and efficient: With no surgery or incisions, V-Tone provides a non-invasive alternative for strengthening the pelvic floor.

Key Benefits of V-Tone
With consistent treatment, V-Tone offers a range of benefits beyond just strengthening the pelvic muscles:
- Improved urinary control: Many patients experience a reduction in involuntary leakage during exercise, laughing, or sneezing.
- Enhanced sexual function: Toned pelvic muscles can improve vaginal sensation, potentially enhancing sexual satisfaction.
