The Science Behind Non-Surgical VTone Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Urinary incontinence is a common problem among women, and it can be a major source of discomfort and embarrassment. If you suffer from unexpected bladder leaks, you are not alone. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it is estimated that approximately 25% to 45% of women in the United States experience some form of urinary incontinence.
The prevalence of urinary incontinence varies by age, with higher rates among older women. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), approximately 40% of women over the age of 65 experience urinary incontinence. The NIDDK also reports that women who have given birth vaginally, are obese, or have a history of pelvic surgery may be at higher risk for urinary incontinence.
Many women suffer from urinary incontinence erroneously believe that there is nothing they can do about their bladder leaks – and simply suffer in silence. At Better U Medical Spa in the Tenafly, NJ area we want to get the word out that there IS a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment that CAN stop embarrassing ‘peeing’ once and for all – so you can live your life without embarrassment.
In this article, the women’s health experts at Better U Medical Spa in the Tenafly, NJ area explain the science behind VTone urinary incontinence treatments, how it works to decrease bladder leaks, the results of studies on its effectiveness, and the benefits of VTone over other invasive urinary incontinence treatments.
How VTone Urinary Incontinence Treatment Works
First, let’s discuss the science behind VTone urinary incontinence treatment. VTone uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate the muscles in the pelvic floor. This stimulation causes the muscles to contract and strengthen, which can help control urine flow and thereby reduce bladder leaks.
VTone urinary incontinence treatment is non-invasive and can be performed in our office at Better U Medical Spa in the Tenafly, NJ area. VTone has two different modes: one for external use, which uses a handheld device to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles, and one for internal use, which uses a small probe inserted into the vagina to provide targeted stimulation.
Studies on VTone Urinary Incontinence Treatment
The safety and effectiveness of medical devices like VTone are evaluated by regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before they are approved for use. The VTone device has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of stress, urge, and mixed incontinence in women.
VTone is manufactured by Atlantic Therapeutics, a medical device company that specializes in the development of non-invasive neuromuscular stimulation devices for pelvic health. According to the manufacturer, in a clinical study involving 63 women with stress urinary incontinence, 87% of participants experienced a reduction in symptoms after using VTone over a 12-week period. And in a survey of 200 women who used VTone, 95% of participants reported a significant improvement in their urinary incontinence symptoms after using the device for only four weeks!
Independent studies have also shown that VTone is a highly effective treatment for urinary incontinence. A study published in the Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy found that 91% of women who underwent six sessions of VTone reported a significant improvement in their urinary incontinence symptoms.
VTone Urinary Incontinence Treatment vs Surgical Treatments
One of the major benefits of VTone over other invasive, surgical urinary incontinence treatments is that it is non-invasive. Many women are hesitant to undergo invasive procedures such as surgery, and VTone provides a safe and effective alternative. Additionally, VTone requires no downtime, so patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
While there are several surgical procedures available to treat urinary incontinence, each has its own significant risks. One of the most common surgical options for treating urinary incontinence is a sling procedure. This procedure involves placing a sling under the urethra to support it and prevent leakage. However, there have been numerous reports of complications and resulting lawsuits related to the use of transvaginal mesh implants.
Some of the reported complications include pain, bleeding, infection, erosion of the mesh into surrounding tissue, and organ perforation. These complications can lead to long-term health problems and the need for additional surgeries to remove or repair the mesh. As a result, many women have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers of transvaginal mesh products, alleging that they were not adequately warned of the risks associated with the devices.
Another surgical option to treat urinary incontinence is a bladder neck suspension. This procedure involves attaching the bladder to the pubic bone to help support it and prevent leaks. Recovery time is usually quite long, with patients typically needing six to eight weeks of recovery time – which is something most mom’s, wives, bosses, and employees simply do not have time for. The procedure can also carry the risk of bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs.
A third surgical option for treating urinary incontinence is bulking agent injection. This procedure involves injecting a substance into the tissues around the urethra to help it close more effectively. However, the results are not always long-lasting, and repeat treatments may be necessary. Additionally, there is a risk of infection or allergic reaction to the injection material.
All surgical options for treating urinary incontinence carry some significant risk of complications. In addition to the risks mentioned above, complications can include allergic reaction to the anesthetic, injury to surrounding organs, urinary tract infections, and problems with bladder emptying. Non-invasive VTone urinary incontinence treatment, however, is a highly effective, long-lasting treatment without any of these scary risk factors.
Other Benefits of VTone Urinary Incontinence Treatment
In addition to treating urinary incontinence, Inmode VTone has several other benefits. The technology used in VTone is also effective in improving vaginal tightness, sensation, and lubrication. As a result, VTone can reduce vaginal laxity, eliminate vaginal dryness and itching, and increase sexual sensitivity and enjoyment.
In addition to saying goodbye to embarrassing leaks, many patients at Better U Medical Spa in the Tenafly, NJ area report having some of the best sex of their lives after getting VTone.
