Can Forma V be used for preventative purposes?
Women can use FORMA V anytime in their adult life to alleviate symptoms, however one of the most effective ways to use this technology is to have a treatment just 6 weeks after childbirth as a preventive approach. Research indicates that having a preventive treatment can lift the vaginal floor and prevent many of the negative symptoms from occurring, such as bladder leakage, loose tissue, itching or burning, and more. By restoring the health of the tissue, we can prevent the dryness that many women experience after childbirth.
How do I know if Forma V is right for me?
It can work well for those who have undergone menopause, those who have given birth, those who are experiencing symptoms similar to post menopause because of breast cancer treatments or a hysterectomy, and many others. If you feel it could be right for you, get in touch with us today.
What does the procedure feel like?
FORMA V uses a radio frequency energy that emits heat so there is virtually no pain. You may feel a mild heating sensation and some users mention mild discomfort as the device is inserted for the first time. Most women will say that the sensation is very much like having an annual exam. There is no downtime with this procedure, which takes about 45 minutes to perform. Many women say they notice improved function right way, with continued improvement over a period of a few months. The full extent of the results take up to 12 weeks to be noticeable.
How should I prepare for my Forma V procedure?
You’ll start with a consultation with the doctor. You can do this with your annual exam, or schedule a consultation for stress incontinence (covered by most insurance plans) to find out if you are a good candidate. There’s no downtime for the procedure, so many women elect to have their first treatment on the same day – if appointments are available. You may want to plan to have a couple of days off work – or plan around a period when your time is flexible. You’ll get a short list of post-procedure suggestions to help encourage new tissue growth.
Are there any other procedures that use this technology?
Yes! FORMA V has a counterpart that can also dramatically change the appearance of your exterior labia area. For women who have enlarged labia (vaginal lips), AVIVA with MORPHEUS8 can dramatically reduce the size of the tissue without cutting or surgery. It could restore your vaginal appearance similar to the look you had prior to childbirth or menopause. We also offer many skin resurfacing and body contouring procedures, including MORPHEUS8 facial and body treatments.
