What Is FORMA-V?

FORMA-V is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment from the InMode platform that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to address various intimate health concerns, including vaginal laxity, dryness, and mild urinary incontinence. The technology targets the deeper layers of tissue to stimulate collagen production, improve blood flow, and rejuvenate the pelvic floor and vaginal tissues without surgery or downtime.

Unlike traditional surgical procedures, FORMA-V provides a comfortable, quick, and effective solution to issues often associated with aging, menopause, or childbirth. With this treatment, women can restore functionality, improve intimacy, and boost their overall quality of life.

Benefits of FORMA-V

FORMA-V offers a range of practical and emotional benefits that significantly enhance both physical comfort and overall well-being:

Physical & Functional Benefits:

• Improved Pelvic Floor Strength: Reinforces weakened pelvic muscles, aiding in urinary control.
• Reduced Vaginal Laxity: Tightens vaginal tissues for improved sensation and support.
• Alleviates Vaginal Dryness: Enhances natural lubrication, reducing discomfort during intimacy.
• Decreased Urinary Incontinence: Addresses stress incontinence by strengthening pelvic support structures.
• Restored Vaginal Tone & Elasticity: Promotes healthier tissue, reducing sagging and discomfort.

Emotional & Psychological Benefits:

• Boosted Self-Confidence: Restored intimate health can enhance confidence and self-esteem.
• Improved Sexual Satisfaction: Increased sensitivity leads to a more fulfilling intimate experience.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Reduction in discomfort and embarrassment improves day-to-day activities.
• Non-Surgical Convenience: Enjoy noticeable improvements without the need for surgery or long recovery times.

FORMA-V provides a holistic solution to women’s intimate concerns, addressing both physical symptoms and the emotional challenges often associated with pelvic floor issues.

How Does FORMA-V Work?

FORMA-V works by delivering controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to the targeted tissues of the vaginal canal and external genital area. The RF energy gently heats the tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen and elastin—two essential proteins responsible for tissue strength, elasticity, and hydration.

Key Mechanisms of Action:

• Collagen Stimulation: Encourages the rebuilding of the underlying tissue structure, which enhances vaginal tightness, improves elasticity, and helps restore overall tissue integrity.
• Improved Blood Flow: Increases circulation in the treated area, promoting natural lubrication, enhanced sensitivity, and improved overall vaginal health.
• Thermal Heating: Delivers controlled warmth to the targeted tissues, stimulating regenerative processes that improve tissue quality without causing damage to surrounding areas.

The treatment is precise and safe, ensuring patients experience minimal discomfort while achieving effective, long-lasting results.

Consistency in aftercare and regular follow-up appointments at InVogue Rejuvenation will help sustain the benefits of your FORMA-V treatments.

What Is the Recommended Hygiene Routine After FORMA-V?

Vaginal hygiene can play an important role in soothing the skin, maintaining hydration, and promoting healing after a FORMA-V treatment. Following a gentle routine helps optimize results and reduce potential irritation:

Fragrance-free, gentle cleansers: Use mild cleansers to keep the area clean (externally only) while avoiding harsh ingredients that can cause irritation.

Avoid harsh soaps or scented products: Fragranced products can irritate delicate skin.

Your provider at InVogue Rejuvenation can recommend safe and effective products tailored to your needs for optimal post-treatment care.
