Let’s be honest…
If you’ve ever sneezed, laughed, jumped, or coughed a little too hard and suddenly thought,
“Oh no… did I just pee a little?”
— you are not alone.
In fact, over 1 in 3 women experience stress urinary incontinence at some point in their lives. But even though it’s common, it’s not something you just have to “deal with” forever.
At Aqua Med Spa in Lansing, we use InMode’s EmpowerRF platform — specifically treatments like VTone and FormaV — to help strengthen the pelvic floor, improve bladder control, and restore confidence from the inside out.
Why Sneezing + Peeing Happens (and no, you’re not broken)
Most leaks are caused by pelvic floor weakness, usually from:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Aging and hormonal shifts (especially low estrogen)
- Menopause
- Chronic stress or elevated cortisol
- High-impact exercise
- Genetics
- Even constipation or chronic coughing
When the pelvic floor loses strength, it can’t support the bladder the same way — so when pressure increases (like during a sneeze), a leak happens.
Lighthearted moment…
We’ve heard it all:
“Trampoline parks? Absolutely not.”
“I cross my legs before I sneeze.”
“I don’t jump during workouts anymore.”
You don’t have to live like that.
Meet EmpowerRF: A Game-Changer for Pelvic Floor Strength & Bladder Support
InMode’s EmpowerRF platform combines radiofrequency energy, muscle stimulation, and tissue remodeling to restore strength and improve bladder control — without surgery or downtime.
Here’s how the treatments work:
VTone
A gentle intravaginal treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation to retrain and strengthen pelvic floor muscles.
Think of it like a personal trainer for your pelvic floor — doing thousands of contractions you could never do on your own.
FormaV
Uses therapeutic radiofrequency heat to improve blood flow, collagen, and tissue tightness, enhancing both bladder support and comfort.
Morpheus8 V
A fractional RF treatment that improves deeper tissue tone for women needing more advanced support.
Together, these treatments help:
- Reduce stress urinary incontinence
- Strengthen pelvic floor muscles
- Improve vaginal laxity
- Enhance sexual health + sensation
- Support bladder control
- Restore confidence
Most patients feel improvement after just a few sessions — and results continue to build.
Why Pelvic Floor Issues Deserve Real Care (Not Shame or Silence)
This is a quality-of-life issue.
It affects workouts, confidence, spontaneity, and how “in control” you feel day to day.
And yet many women are told things like:
“That’s just part of having kids.”
“That’s just aging.”
“Just wear a pad.”
No.
Your pelvic floor is a muscle group — and muscles can be strengthened, restored, and supported with the right technology and care.

FAQ: Pelvic Floor Strengthening, Leaking, and EmpowerRF at Aqua Med Spa
Why do I pee when I sneeze, laugh, or jump?
This is called stress urinary incontinence, and it often happens when the pelvic floor muscles become weak or overstretched. Pregnancy, childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, and high-impact activities can all contribute. When pressure increases—like during a sneeze—the pelvic floor can’t fully support the bladder, leading to leaks.
What is EmpowerRF and how does it help?
EmpowerRF is an advanced non-surgical platform from InMode that uses radiofrequency energy and muscle stimulation to strengthen the pelvic floor, improve bladder control, and support overall vaginal health. Treatments like VTone and FormaV help rebuild muscle tone, stimulate collagen, and enhance internal support.
What is VTone?
VTone uses gentle intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation to retrain and strengthen pelvic floor muscles. It creates thousands of controlled contractions—far more than you could do on your own—helping improve leaks and pelvic floor function.
What is FormaV?
FormaV uses therapeutic radiofrequency heat to improve blood flow, tighten tissues, and enhance bladder support. It’s comfortable, non-surgical, and ideal for women experiencing postpartum changes, laxity, or stress incontinence.
Does EmpowerRF help with postpartum leaking?
Yes. Many women experience bladder leakage after childbirth due to stretched pelvic floor muscles. EmpowerRF treatments can help restore strength, support, and confidence without downtime or surgery.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see improvement after 2–3 sessions, with full results developing over several weeks. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan based on your symptoms and goals.
Is there downtime?
There is little to no downtime with EmpowerRF treatments. Most women return to normal activities the same day.
Who is a good candidate for EmpowerRF?
Women who leak when they sneeze, cough, laugh, run, or exercise, as well as women experiencing changes after childbirth or during perimenopause/menopause, are often excellent candidates. A consultation helps determine the best approach.
Does Aqua Med Spa offer pelvic floor consultations?
Yes. At Aqua Med Spa in Lansing, we provide personalized evaluations and EmpowerRF treatment plans to help improve bladder control, pelvic floor strength, and overall confidence.
