VTone Results & What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment
Your Guide to a Comfortable, Confidence-Building Pelvic Floor Experience
Pelvic floor changes can affect everything from bladder control to core stability to intimate comfort. Whether these shifts come after childbirth, during perimenopause, or simply over time, many women begin to notice a disconnect between how their body feels and how they want to feel.
VTone—offered within the Empower RF platform—is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that helps retrain and strengthen the pelvic floor using controlled electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). If you’ve read Part 1 of this series, you already know how VTone supports pelvic strength from within. Now, let’s walk through what to expect during treatment and how your body responds in the days and weeks that follow.
Before Your VTone Treatment: What You Should Know
One of the biggest advantages of VTone is how easy it is to prepare for. Most women do not need to make significant changes to their daily routine.
Before your visit, your provider will review your goals—whether that includes improving bladder control, rebuilding pelvic strength after childbirth, or enhancing overall core support. This consultation also ensures that VTone is the right fit or whether you might benefit from complementary treatments such as FormaV or Morpheus8V within the Empower RF suite.

Most women can arrive for treatment and begin right away. No anesthesia or numbing is necessary, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward.
During Your VTone Treatment: What the Experience Feels Like
Your session takes place in a private, comfortable treatment room. A small, ergonomically shaped intravaginal applicator is gently inserted to deliver controlled EMS pulses directly to the pelvic floor muscles. These pulses create rhythmic contractions—similar to Kegel exercises, but far more targeted and consistent.
Most women describe the sensation as unusual at first but not painful. The contractions simply feel like the muscles are "waking up" and working in ways that are difficult to achieve on your own. You may even notice the intensity of the contractions increase gradually as the muscles become more responsive.
A typical session lasts about 30 minutes. Many women use this time to relax, read, or simply unwind.
After Your Treatment: What Happens Next
There is no downtime with VTone, which is why it’s such an appealing option for postpartum women, busy professionals, and anyone seeking improvement without disruption.
Immediately after treatment, you may feel a subtle sense of fatigue or awareness in the pelvic muscles—similar to completing a focused workout. This is normal and expected as the muscles begin adapting to their strengthened state.
Over the next several days, muscles continue to retrain and tone. Because pelvic floor improvement builds gradually, most women notice their strongest results after completing a recommended series of sessions.
Your VTone Results: What to Expect in the Weeks Ahead
Results vary based on your baseline pelvic floor strength, number of sessions, and whether other therapies are included in your overall plan. Many women report feeling more support during movement, fewer leaks with coughing or exercise, and greater confidence during daily activities.
Some women begin noticing early improvement within the first few sessions, while others see changes develop more steadily over several weeks. The treatment series is typically spaced to allow optimal muscle retraining and long-term results.
VTone may be part of a broader pelvic wellness strategy that includes:
FormaV for tissue tone and comfort
Morpheus8V for deeper remodeling and vaginal support
BHRT for hormone-related shifts that influence pelvic tissue
Your provider will discuss whether maintenance sessions could help sustain strength over time, particularly for women who are postpartum, perimenopausal, or experiencing ongoing muscle weakness.
Who Benefits Most From VTone?
VTone is often recommended for women who want a non-surgical way to improve pelvic strength and function—especially if they’re experiencing:
Mild stress incontinence
Weakness after childbirth
Reduced pelvic tone with aging
Difficulty engaging pelvic muscles
Desire for a stronger foundation before beginning other pelvic treatments
If pelvic floor dysfunction is affecting your confidence or daily comfort, VTone provides a gentle, science-based option to rebuild support from within.
