This is often experienced as vaginal dryness or as intense itching, and can result in general discomfort and problems with intimacy.
As women age, the tissue around the urethra may begin to thin due to low estrogen levels. This can cause a burning sensation when urinating or the sensation of needing to urinate more frequently. Often this results in the sensation of a UTI, or in some cases, an actual UTI.
Traditional treatments include creams, moisturizers, lubricants and suppositories. All of these can be messy and inconvenient.
With Forma V, the radiofrequency treatment stimulates the collagen and elastin to rejuvenate the vaginal tissue, virtually eliminating the need for creams and suppositories.
With Morpheus8 V, the combination of radio frequency with micro-needling enhances the plumpness and elasticity of the vaginal tissue and can be used in tandem with Forma V to eliminate vaginal dryness, improving intimacy and general comfort.
If a urine culture does not show signs of an infection, the tissue around the bladder can be treated with Forma V or Morpheus8 V. Together, or individually, these treatments stimulate blood flow to the area, along with increased collagen and elastin production, which can dramatically reduce the incidence of UTIs and similar symptoms.

Sometimes women present with all the symptoms and discomfort of a UTI. However, in cases where an infection is not present, but vaginal dryness is, we can treat with Forma V and relieve the symptoms and discomfort patients normally associate with a UTI. Furthermore, the collagen and elastin production stimulated by the treatment makes the tissue in the vaginal area much more robust and less likely to exhibit the symptoms of a UTI.
That depends on your condition and how severe your issue is. But typically most patients require between one and three treatments.
No. We use a very effective, topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. That enables us to do a very thorough treatment, with enough power to provide noticeable results.
It varies from person to person depending on your condition, but typically we see treatments lasting from six months to more than a year. Usually we find that a single touch up treatment will be good for another six months to a year.
Yes, absolutely. We had some of our most profound success treating breast cancer patients who have been forced to remove all the estrogen from their systems. However, we do like to have clearance from your oncologist, especially if you’ve had chemotherapy recently.
