Dryness, discomfort, a feeling of looseness, or changes in intimate appearance and sensations may occur after childbirth, with aging, or during hormonal changes such as perimenopause and menopause.
EMFEMME 360 is a radiofrequency technology designed to target the tissues of the vulva and vagina. The treatment can therefore be performed internally, externally, or as a combination of both, depending on individual needs.
By delivering controlled, uniform heat, EMFEMME 360 promotes tissue remodeling and may help improve firmness and flexibility, as well as alleviate certain symptoms associated with menopausal genitourinary syndrome.
The treatment is non-surgical, needle-free, and generally requires no recovery time.
EMFEMME 360 uses radiofrequency—not a laser—to gradually and controllably heat the vulvovaginal tissues.
This heat stimulates a natural response in the tissues, including the remodeling of collagen and elastin, two key components for their structure, firmness, and elasticity.
Inside the vagina, the technology delivers energy in a 360-degree pattern, ensuring uniform heating of the treated area. The temperature is monitored in real time to ensure controlled energy delivery.
EMFEMME 360 can also be used externally, on the vulva. The vulva is the external part of the female genitalia and includes, in particular, the labia as well as the tissues surrounding the vaginal opening and the urethral opening. Richly innervated, it also plays an important role in sexual comfort and sensation.
Due to childbirth, hormonal changes, and aging, these tissues can also lose firmness and elasticity or undergo changes in appearance and sensitivity. External treatment is therefore aimed at improving the quality and firmness of the vulvar tissues, as well as intimate comfort.
EMFEMME 360 can be used to treat the vagina, the vulva, or both. This versatility allows the treatment to be tailored to each woman’s concerns and symptoms.
Controlled heating of the tissues promotes the remodeling of collagen and elastin and may help improve vaginal laxity, particularly after childbirth.
Radiofrequency can be used externally to improve the quality, firmness, and appearance of vulvar tissue. This approach can also help improve comfort and sensation in this area.
Hormonal changes can cause dryness, discomfort, reduced tissue elasticity, and pain during sexual intercourse. EMFEMME 360 may be one of the options to consider for improving certain symptoms associated with menopausal genitourinary syndrome.
EMFEMME 360 does not contain any hormones. However, this does not mean that it necessarily replaces hormone therapy. When indicated, the treatment can be integrated into a more comprehensive care plan that may include vaginal hormones or hormones administered by other routes, depending on each patient’s evaluation and needs.
The vaginal treatment takes about 8 minutes. The external treatment of the vulva is also very brief (3 to 5 minutes), and its duration varies depending on the area being treated. Patients can generally resume their normal activities immediately.
Intimate health does not depend solely on the quality of the tissues. The pelvic floor also plays an important role in supporting the pelvic organs, continence, and sexual function.
The Pelvic Power approach combines EMFEMME 360 vaginal treatment with EMSELLA, which uses electromagnetic stimulation to target the pelvic floor muscles.
The two technologies therefore work in a complementary manner: EMFEMME 360 primarily targets the quality of vulvovaginal tissues, while EMSELLA focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. Depending on individual needs, this combination allows for a more comprehensive approach to women’s intimate health.
EMFEMME 360 may be considered for women experiencing certain changes in their intimate health, particularly after childbirth, as they age, or during perimenopause and menopause.
It may be particularly helpful for women experiencing a sensation of vaginal laxity, changes in vulvar tissue, dryness, discomfort, or pain during sexual intercourse.
Some women also wish to address the appearance or firmness of the external vulvar tissues, which can also change over time, due to pregnancies, and as a result of hormonal changes.
However, these symptoms can have several causes. A preliminary evaluation is therefore important to determine whether EMFEMME 360 is an appropriate option or whether another course of treatment would be preferable.
Results appear gradually as the tissues respond to the radiofrequency energy and the remodeling process takes effect.
An initial course of three treatments is generally recommended for vaginal treatment. A three-session protocol may also be recommended when treating the vulva. The treatment plan is always tailored to the patient’s symptoms, goals, and individual response.
Studies on the EMFEMME 360 radiofrequency system have observed improvements in vaginal health, the sensation of laxity, and certain aspects of sexual function and comfort.
In a study of 35 postmenopausal women with dyspareunia so severe that they were no longer able to have penetrative sex, 83% reported no pain during intercourse two months after a course of three EMFEMME 360 treatments.
The benefits may last for several months. However, since tissues continue to change with age, hormones, pregnancies, and other individual factors, maintenance treatments may eventually be recommended.
EMFEMME 360 is not a laser treatment. It uses non-ablative radiofrequency that gradually heats the tissue rather than treating it with laser energy.
The treatment is generally very well tolerated. During the session, a gradual sensation of warmth is felt in the treated area. The temperature is monitored in real time to maintain an appropriate energy level.
Clinical studies generally report little or no pain during treatment. Mild redness or temporary sensitivity may occasionally occur, particularly during external treatment, but no significant recovery period is usually required.
Symptoms related to intimate health should not be addressed solely from a cosmetic perspective. Dryness, discomfort, pain, a feeling of looseness, or vulvovaginal changes can have various causes and warrant careful evaluation.
At VK Derma, our team of specialized nurse practitioners (NPs) allows us to take a more holistic approach to your health when necessary. They can assess your symptoms, medical history, medications, and any contraindications to determine whether EMFEMME 360 is an appropriate option for you.
This approach also makes it possible to assess whether other options—such as hormone therapy or a complementary treatment like EMSELLA—might be appropriate for your situation.
