What is VTone?
VTone is a gentle, nonsurgical FDA cleared technology designed to provide intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education. The VTone applicator provides rehabilitation of weak pelvic floor muscles for the treatment of stress urge and mixed urinary incontinence in women.
Dr Sharon Li recommends to combine FormaV and VTone to improve firmness, muscle strength, and circulation within pelvic floor area. The combined procedures have a greater result of increased the blood flow in the treated area.

VTone FAQs
VTone is powered through the Empower RF platform by InMode. The treatment is a highly effective and non-invasive treatment that helps to tone and train muscles of the pelvic floor. During a VTone treatment a two-sided tip is inserted quickly and comfortably into the vaginal canal to trigger involuntary muscle contractions. These contractions tone and tighten the pelvic floor muscles, targeting the muscle fibers that have become weakened or overstretched during pregnancy and childbirth.
VTone is recommended for any women who wish to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles. At your initial consultation, Dr Sharon Li will complete an assessment to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. We recommend obtaining a GP referral, as this allows Dr Li to access information regarding your general health, past medical history and suitability for the treatment.
A consultation fee is charged after your appointment; however, your GP referral will allow our receptionists to claim your Medicare rebate for this payment. Please contact us directly on 07 3219 6868 for more information or to secure an appointment.
After your initial consultation, Dr Li will customise a treatment program unique for you. While a single pelvic floor treatment will likely provide mild benefits, for optimal results, we recommend 6-8 treatments of VTone over a 3 month period.
