It’s not fun to have to worry about bladder leakage. This could be from sneezing, coughing, laughing, or even exercising. Urinary incontinence (aka loss of bladder control) is a common health problem that affects 200 million people worldwide.
What is urinary incontinence? It is a lack of control with the bladder that results in involuntary or uncontrollable bladder leaks in both men and women. There are five different types of urinary incontinence:
Urge incontinence
Stress incontinence
Mixed incontinence
Overflow incontinence
Functional (neurogenic) incontinence
Urge incontinence refers to the sudden urge to urinate. This urge comes without any warning or having enough time to make it to the restroom. Stress incontinence is when urination occurs as a result of pressure (stress) being placed on the bladder.
While prevention via pelvic floor exercises is usually the best option for these issues, problems may still arise when the exercises are not practiced or when the birth of a child caused bladder leakage issues. Finally, we have a treatment that will help you without you even needing to take any clothing off. Emsella is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for incontinence caused by a weakened pelvic floor. Emsella can help you reduce frequent bathroom stops and minimize embarrassing accidents.
What is EMSELLA?
Emsella is a non-surgical treatment for urinary incontinence with a 95% success rate. The Emsella chair provides a modern and convenient solution for urinary incontinence (bladder leakage) for men and women. Emsella is a breakthrough treatment for incontinence to give you back your confidence.
The Emsella chair stimulates powerful contractions of the entire pelvic floor musculature to strengthen the muscle and treat urinate incontinence which is loss of bladder control.
Each 30-minute session in the Emsella chair is equivalent to doing 11000 pelvic floor exercises. With Emsella, all this is done without any effort on your part and without getting undressed.
How does EMSELLA work?
Emsella utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control. A single Emsella session brings thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle re-education of incontinent patients.
Pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the bottom of the pelvis. Strong pelvic floor muscles gives you control over your bladder and bowel. Weakened pelvic floor muscles mean your internal organs are not fully supported and you may have difficulty controlling the release of urine.
All you have to do, is sit down and relax, maybe read a book for about 30 minutes a session. No taking your clothes off, no awkward exercise- hello kegels!- none of that. You simply come in, let us do the programming for you, and enjoy the ride so to speak!
When do I see the results after Emsella treatment?
Most patients see improvement after six sessions, scheduled twice a week. You may observe improvement after a few sessions depending on the severity of your condition. This treatment works best on grades 0-1 level of urinary incontinence.
Some patients get worse for a short time before they see improvement. Some patients may need more treatments depending on the severity of their condition. The results vary from person to person, and an exact result cannot be predicted.
What does Emsella feel like?
Most patients find Emsella treatments comfortable. You will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.
How many Emsella sessions will I need?
The recommended number of treatments is 6. The treatment is 30 minutes per session on the machine, with sessions separated by at least 2 days, depending on your needs. Completing a full treatment series is necessary to maximize treatment efficacy. You may need additional treatments depending on the severity of your condition.
How long does the Emsella results last?
Depending on the initial severity of the condition, changes may start to revert 6-12 months after the treatment. In the initial studies, patients were still satisfied after 6 months, but we are giving a less optimistic figure for those with more severe incontinence issues.
For most, the internal changes can last 9-12 months. Like all muscles, pelvic muscles start to sag without continued exercise. Aging and gravity are constantly working against the anatomy. It is impossible to get in thousands of Kegels, so maintenance treatments are recommended.
Is Emsella better than kegels?
Emsella is superior to kegels. Even though kegels can help to strengthen the pelvic floor over a long time period, they are not able to compete with this treatment option. These supramaximal contractions are delivered by the thousands during these short sessions. Thirty minutes on the Emsella chair is equivalent to doing over 12,000 kegels!
How does Emsella compare to a surgical treatment for urinary incontinence?
Surgical treatment cannot be compared with Emsella because Emsella treatment option is a completely non-invasive procedure. It does not require surgery, injections, anesthesia, or any downtime. There is no other device in the aesthetic field that treats urinary incontinence without surgery.
