Role of Radiofrequency (Votiva, InMode) in Pelvic Floor Restoration

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open Journal (April 2019) features an article titled “Role of Radiofrequency (Votiva, InMode) in Pelvic Floor Restoration,” a study that highlights the safety and efficacy of using Radiofrequency (RF) Energy for Pelvic Floor Restoration (PFR) after vaginal delivery. Authored by plastic surgeons Spero J. Theodorou of bodySCULPT^® in NYC; Erez Dayan, MD; Henry Ramirez, MD; and Lacy Westfall, RN, the research reviews the use of a radiofrequency device, Votiva, InMode for postpartum pelvic floor restoration using an electrostimulator to objectively measure treatment effect. The researchers found that there were no adverse events from the Votiva treatment and found a significant correlation between treatment and maximal contraction of pelvic floor muscles.
