Overview
EmpowerRF by InMode is an FDA-cleared in-office platform that addresses common postpartum and post-menopausal pelvic floor and intimate-tissue changes without surgery, hormones, or extended recovery. Concerns it can address include stress urinary incontinence (bladder leakage with exercise or laughter), vaginal dryness, reduced sensation, and a feeling of looseness following childbirth or hormonal change. EmpowerRF combines radiofrequency energy with electrical muscle stimulation to restore vaginal tissue elasticity, strengthen pelvic floor muscles, and improve bladder control. Treatments are performed in the Legacy OB/GYN office. Patients typically return to normal activities the same day. This service is offered alongside conventional gynecologic care so patients can address these concerns with the practice they already know.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is EmpowerRF safe?
Yes. EmpowerRF has earned FDA clearance for safety and efficacy. The treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive and are performed by our trained medical professionals. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as slight warmth, redness, or sensitivity that resolves within hours to a couple of days. EmpowerRF has an exceptional safety track record and does not require general anesthesia.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment frequency depends on the specific EmpowerRF modality. VTone sessions are typically scheduled weekly, while FormaV and Morpheus8V treatments are spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Your personalized treatment plan will depend on your specific concerns and goals. For detailed information, please refer to our EmpowerRF Patient Booklet (available at the top of this page) or ask during your consultation.
Does the treatment hurt?
Pain and numbing requirements vary by treatment type. VTone and FormaV are typically very comfortable without numbing. You may feel gentle warming or rhythmic muscle contractions. Morpheus8V does require topical numbing cream applied beforehand. Please refer to our EmpowerRF Patient Booklet (available at the top of this page) for complete details on each treatment option.
When can I resume normal activities and intimacy?
You can typically return to work and daily activities immediately after your treatment. We recommend waiting 48-72 hours before resuming sexual activity to allow the treated tissues to begin healing.
Am I a good candidate for EmpowerRF?
EmpowerRF benefits women of all ages experiencing concerns related to childbirth, aging, or menopause. You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing bladder leakage, vaginal dryness, decreased sensation, painful intercourse, or vaginal laxity. If you have recently given birth, we recommend waiting at least six weeks for your body to heal before beginning treatment. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and goals to determine if EmpowerRF is right for you.
