How does FormaV work?

FormaV provides uniform volumetric deep heating for tissue remodeling with real-time temperature control . FormaV is completely painless, Dr Sharon Li utilises the hand piece to heat the tissue of the vaginal lining and labia. This thermal stimulation increases blood flow and enables the remodeling of the tissue to tighten and strengthen over time.

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.
