With several different applications available for a myriad of concerns affecting women’s health and comfort, EmpowerRF can help patients in Wichita and nearby areas enjoy greater comfort and confidence in their everyday life. From treating incontinence to rehabilitating weak muscles and restoring support for the pelvic floor, Dr. Shaw and our team can tailor EmpowerRF to address your specific needs and concerns.
What is EmpowerRF?
EmpowerRF is an advanced, multi-modal aesthetic treatment designed to address a range of intimate wellness, skin laxity, and muscle tone concerns using radiofrequency (RF) energy and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technologies. This non-surgical cosmetic enhancement treatment stands out for its unique ability to combine multiple clinically-proven modalities into one customizable treatment plan, allowing our team to customize care according to each patient’s specific goals.
Whether addressing pelvic floor weakness, vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence, or skin quality concerns on the face and body, EmpowerRF offers a minimally invasive solution with little to no downtime. This treatment option is commonly chosen by patients seeking effective rejuvenation and functional improvement without the risks or recovery associated with surgery.
Who is a Good Candidate for EmpowerRF?
Good candidates for EmpowerRF are individuals who are looking for non-surgical treatment options to improve mild to moderate pelvic floor weakness, vaginal laxity, urinary leakage, or skin laxity. Many candidates are women who have given birth, currently experiencing menopausal changes, or who notice decreased muscle tone and tissue firmness over time.
Patients who want noticeable improvement without anesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery are often excellent candidates. EmpowerRF is also suitable for individuals seeking preventative care to maintain muscle strength and tissue quality before concerns worsen. During a consultation, our team will review your medical history, symptoms, and aesthetic goals to determine which EmpowerRF modalities are most appropriate.
EmpowerRF Treatment Options
VTone
VTone is a non-invasive pelvic floor muscle stimulation treatment designed to strengthen and rehabilitate weakened muscles. Using intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation, VTone helps retrain the pelvic floor by inducing controlled muscle contractions. This can be utilized to improve bladder control, address stress urinary incontinence, and enhance overall pelvic floor function.
FormaV
FormaV is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed specifically for vaginal and vulvar tissue rejuvenation. By delivering controlled RF energy, FormaV gently heats the tissue to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving elasticity, hydration, and overall tone. This treatment is often used to address vaginal laxity, dryness, and discomfort, as well as to improve blood circulation, muscular pain, and muscle relaxation. FormaV is comfortable, requires no anesthesia, and allows patients to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive fractional RF microneedling treatment that targets deeper layers of the skin to remodel collagen and improve firmness. When used as part of the EmpowerRF platform, Morpheus8 can be applied to the face or body to address skin laxity, wrinkles, an uneven texture, and other complexion concerns. The combination of microneedling and RF energy also promotes significant skin tightening and rejuvenation over time.
Is There Downtime After an EmpowerRF Session?
Downtime after EmpowerRF treatments is minimal, and varies depending on the specific modality used. Non-invasive treatments such as VTone, Tone, and FormaV typically require no downtime, allowing patients to return to daily activities almost immediately. Mild warmth or temporary redness may occur but usually resolves quickly.
