In a concise exploration in its March/April 2024 issue, The Aesthetic Guide presents a look at the innovative PF TonerPro device by Zimmer MedizinSystems, now making waves in the U.S. for its role in addressing urinary incontinence. This device, heralding the use of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy, offers a new horizon for passive pelvic floor therapy, targeting both stress and urge urinary incontinence.

The article acknowledges that incontinence, which impacts over 25 million adults, can significantly affect daily activities and quality of life. The PF TonerPro device introduces a strong magnetic field that penetrates deeply to stimulate nerve cells, muscles, and blood vessels, facilitating a non-invasive, comfortable treatment that fortifies the muscles integral to controlling incontinence. With sessions ranging from 20 to 30 minutes weekly over 8 to 12 weeks, the device provides a practical solution for reversing incontinence.

Insights from Clinical Experience

Dr. Bernhard Schoensee, a urologist from Urologie Berlin Adlershof in Berlin, Germany, shares his firsthand experience with the PF TonerPro. “My patients reported improvements in incontinence disorders, sexual sensation and erection issues,” he notes, attributing these to the device’s ability to induce deep and intense contractions of the pelvic floor muscles through HIFEM energy.

A Comprehensive Approach

The Aesthetic Guide‘s feature highlights the PF TonerPro‘s unique aspects, like its detachable handpiece, which supports both static and complementary dynamic treatments. This flexibility allows for a comprehensive approach to therapy. Dr. Schoensee explained, “Focused electromagnetic pulses go deep into the complex muscle network of the pelvic floor and lower back… Muscle contractions in quick succession make the muscles stronger, effectively tightening the pelvic floor. This provides better support for the internal organs and strengthens their performance.” Incredibly, this occurs without the need for consumables or disposables, and patients remain fully clothed and relaxed during treatment.

Beyond Incontinence

Dr. Schoensee also points out the device’s versatility, noting its efficacy in treating conditions such as chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) and improving intimate sensation for both women and men. Moreover, for patients with erectile dysfunction, he says that PF TonerPro offers a beneficial, non-invasive option, potentially enhancing erectile function.  “By strengthening the pelvic and lower back muscles, erectile function can be improved and may partially replace drug therapy options. We often see this as a side effect in men that we treat for urge or stress incontinence.”

Expanding Treatment Portfolios

As The Aesthetic Guide illustrates, the PF TonerPro stands as a testament to innovation in medical aesthetics, offering practices a new avenue to broaden their treatment offerings and cater to a wider patient demographic.

PF TonerPro is only FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
