The treatment

What is INDIBA
in gynecology?

A monopolar radiofrequency medical technology at 448 kHz, validated in functional gynecology and applied exclusively under specialist prescription.

INDIBA is a controlled radiofrequency technology that acts on tissue at a cellular level. Unlike laser treatments, it does not cause ablation: it stimulates collagen regeneration, microcirculation, and the natural hydration of mucosal tissue through a mechanism known as tissue proinduction. In gynecology, this effect is especially relevant for treating vaginal laxity, menopause-related dryness, postpartum recovery, mild urinary incontinence, and dyspareunia. The application is transvaginal, painless, and requires neither anesthesia nor recovery time. At Monarka, we do not offer INDIBA as a standalone aesthetic treatment. It is part of an individualized gynecological plan, prescribed by the specialist after a complete functional assessment.

Indications

When gynecological INDIBA
is indicated

Gynecological radiofrequency is not a universal treatment. It is prescribed when a medical evaluation identifies a functional condition that could benefit from vaginal tissue regeneration and pelvic floor support.

— 01

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause

Vaginal dryness, burning, itching, and discomfort associated with decreased estrogen. Improves mucosal health without the need for local hormone therapy.

— 02

Chronic pelvic pain and myofascial syndromes

Vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia, painful bladder syndrome, endometriosis with pelvic involvement, and myofascial pelvic floor pain. INDIBA works by modulating nociceptive signals and reducing reflex muscle tone.

— 03

Postpartum recovery

Vaginal laxity, episiotomy or tear scars, weakening of the pelvic floor after vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Compatible with breastfeeding.

— 04

Mild stress urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence when coughing, laughing, or exercising. It is usually combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation to enhance the results.

— 05

Dyspareunia and pain in relationships

Discomfort, burning, or pain during intercourse associated with dryness, atrophy, pelvic floor hypertonia, or post-surgical scarring. The functional or organic origin is always evaluated.

— 06

Functional vaginal laxity

Loss of muscle tone associated with age, previous births, or hormonal changes that affect sensitivity and the quality of relationships.

— 07

Perimenopause support

As part of the Monarka perimenopause program, along with hormonal, gynecological and nutritional assessment, within a unified plan.

Clinical mechanism

The neuromodulatory effect

Beyond tissue regeneration, INDIBA acts as a local neuromodulation tool. It is the least discussed aspect of the treatment, yet the one that explains its value in cases of chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia, and myofascial pelvic floor dysfunctions.

⸺ Mechanism 01

Modulation of nociceptors

Radiofrequency ablation at 448 kHz interferes with peripheral pain signaling, reducing the hyperexcitability of nociceptors that perpetuate chronic pain. This is especially relevant in central sensitization conditions such as vulvodynia and painful bladder syndrome.

⸺ Mechanism 02

Reduction of reflex muscle tone

It reduces hypertonia and trigger points in the pelvic floor by acting on the protective muscle contraction reflex. It allows pelvic floor physiotherapy to progress where pain previously prevented it, breaking the pain-contracture-pain cycle.

⸺ Mechanism 03

Sympathetic/parasympathetic balance

It restores the balance of the autonomic nervous system locally, promoting vasodilation, drainage, and tissue oxygenation. This neurovegetative regulation is key in patients with chronic pelvic pain, where the dysautonomic component is almost always present.

Clinical note

This three-pronged approach is the reason why INDIBA has become a key tool in advanced pelvic floor physiotherapy protocols. At Monarka, it is always prescribed following a gynecological evaluation and, when necessary, in coordination with the clinic’s chronic pain unit.

How it works

The Monarka protocol

The treatment is part of a clinical process, not a single session. The specialist determines if INDIBA is indicated and designs the plan based on the functional assessment and therapeutic objectives.

01

Initial session

Functional gynecological assessment

Medical history, examination, and evaluation of the pelvic floor and vaginal mucosa are performed. The indication is identified and contraindications are ruled out.

02

Customized plan

Treatment design

Number of sessions, frequency and combination with other therapies (pelvic floor rehabilitation, hormonal treatment, nutritional follow-up) depending on the case.

03

30-45 min per session

INDIBA application

Weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Transvaginal and/or external application, painless, without anesthesia. The patient resumes her activities immediately.

04

Follow-up

Inspection and maintenance

Results are monitored 4–6 weeks after the cycle ends. The maintenance plan is adjusted according to progress and objectives.

The Monarka approach

"INDIBA is not a standalone treatment: it is a tool within a unified gynecological plan, where multiple specialties converge into a single roadmap for each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you should know

No. INDIBA uses radiofrequency at a controlled temperature that most patients describe as a pleasant warmth. It requires no local anesthesia or sedation, and the session is performed with a specific sterile applicator.

It depends on the specific indication. As a general guideline, standard protocols typically involve between 4 and 8 sessions, held weekly or bi-weekly. The specialist determines the exact number of sessions after the initial assessment and adjusts the plan based on the patient’s progress.

INDIBA is one of the few non-pharmacological treatments with clinical evidence for chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, and myofascial pelvic floor syndromes. Its effect is based not only on tissue regeneration but also on its neuromodulatory action: it reduces nociceptor hyperexcitability, lowers reflex muscle tone, and rebalances the local autonomic nervous system. In these cases, it is usually prescribed in combination with specialized pelvic floor physiotherapy, and results are evaluated 4–6 weeks after the start of the treatment cycle.

Yes. There is no recovery time. The patient can immediately return to work and sports activities. Sexual intercourse is not recommended for 24–48 hours, as directed.

Yes. INDIBA is compatible with breastfeeding and most hormonal treatments. The specialist assesses each case and rules out any specific contraindications during the initial consultation.

Some patients report symptomatic improvement (hydration, comfort) from the first sessions. Collagen regeneration is a progressive process that continues for 8–12 weeks after the treatment cycle.

Not necessarily. INDIBA can be an alternative for patients with contraindications to hormone therapy or a complement to a menopause plan. This decision is always made by the gynecologist after evaluating the case.

There are specific contraindications (pregnancy, pacemakers, certain metallic intrauterine devices, active infections, undiagnosed genital bleeding, among others). Therefore, treatment is prescribed only after a medical evaluation.
