VTone in Dallas, TX

VTone is an FDA-cleared pelvic floor treatment that uses intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education to rehabilitate and strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles. It is commonly used to address stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence in women.

During treatment, a small applicator placed within the vaginal canal delivers controlled electrical stimulation that causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract involuntarily.

VTone is generally well tolerated. Most women feel tingling and rhythmic pelvic floor muscle contractions as the intensity gradually increases. Treatment is adjusted to your comfort level throughout the session, and no anesthesia is typically required.

Not exactly. Kegels are voluntary contractions, meaning you have to identify and consciously engage the correct pelvic floor muscles yourself. VTone uses electrical muscle stimulation to trigger involuntary contractions while providing neuromuscular re-education to help rehabilitate weakened pelvic floor muscles.

VTone doesn’t make pelvic floor exercises unnecessary, but it can provide guided muscle stimulation without relying on your ability to perform a Kegel correctly on your own.

No. VTone is specifically designed to improve muscle tone and support around the vagina, which may create a stronger, more supported feeling. To really understand the difference, it helps to understand what the pelvic floor is. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sits beneath your pelvic organs and helps support your bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum.

VTone stimulates those muscles to contract, helping strengthen and retrain them over time. What it does not do is directly tighten or remodel the vaginal tissue itself. Think of it as strengthening the muscles that support the area rather than changing the tissue that lines it.

If vaginal tissue laxity is also part of your concern, a treatment like Votiva may be recommended to improve tissue firmness and quality. Some women have both weakened pelvic floor muscles and tissue laxity, which is why VTone and Votiva may sometimes be used together.

A typical VTone treatment series includes about six sessions scheduled every one to two weeks. Your treatment plan may vary depending on your symptoms, pelvic floor function, response to treatment, and whether VTone is being used on its own or as part of a broader treatment plan.

There is little to no downtime after VTone. You can typically return to your normal daily activities immediately after treatment. We’ll ask you to empty your bladder following your session, but otherwise there are no special recovery steps unless your provider gives you specific instructions based on your treatment plan.

Results develop gradually throughout the treatment series. Some women begin noticing changes in bladder control during their initial sessions, while others may need to complete more of the series before noticing improvement. Your starting pelvic floor strength, symptoms, and other factors contributing to bladder leakage can all affect your response.

VTone may be a good fit for women with weakened pelvic floor muscles or stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence. Your provider will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and pelvic floor function to determine whether muscle weakness is contributing and whether VTone is appropriate for you.

VTone should not be performed during pregnancy or in patients with an active electrical implant. Additional considerations will be reviewed during your consultation.

Both can play a role in pelvic floor rehabilitation, but they are not the same treatment. VTone uses intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation to activate and retrain weakened pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor physical therapy is a broader form of rehabilitation that may include evaluation, exercises, manual therapy, coordination training, and other techniques based on the cause of your symptoms.

One does not necessarily replace the other. Depending on your symptoms and response to treatment, your provider may recommend VTone, pelvic floor physical therapy, or both.

Both VTone and Emsella are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, but they deliver treatment differently. VTone uses a small applicator placed inside the vaginal canal to deliver electrical muscle stimulation directly to the pelvic floor muscles. Emsella is a chair-based treatment that stimulates the pelvic floor from outside the body, without an internal applicator.

For women who are comfortable with an internal treatment, VTone provides targeted stimulation directly within the vaginal canal. Your provider can help determine which type of pelvic floor treatment is most appropriate based on your symptoms, anatomy, and goals.

No. VTone is not a pelvic floor chair. Treatment uses a small applicator placed within the vaginal canal to deliver electrical muscle stimulation directly to the pelvic floor muscles. Chair-based pelvic floor treatments work differently and do not use an intravaginal applicator.

Yes. Bladder leakage and other intimate concerns can involve more than pelvic floor muscle weakness alone. Depending on what is contributing to your symptoms, VTone may be used on its own or incorporated into a broader treatment plan with Votiva, Morpheus8V, the O-Shot, or other therapies.

VTone is also one component of the EmpowerRF treatment approach offered at Entice. Your provider will recommend treatments based on your symptoms, anatomy, and goals rather than automatically combining services.
