How does Emsella stop urinary incontinence?

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.

What is urinary incontinence?

Urinary incontinence (aka loss of bladder control) is a common health problem that affects 200 million people worldwide . This lack of control results in involuntary or uncontrollable bladder leaks. 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. This could be from sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercising.

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. There are treatment options available for these issues, including the Emsella chair treatment. Emsella can help you reduce frequent bathroom stops and minimize embarrassing accidents.

What technology is used for Emsella?

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 pelvic floor muscle contractions, which are extremely important in muscle re-education of incontinent patients.

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.

How long does the 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. One Emsella treatment is the equivalent of 12,000 Kegels.

Does Emsella really work?

YES! Emsella is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for incontinence caused by a weakened pelvic floor. The Emsella chair emits a high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) wave to create supramaximal contractions within the pelvic floor muscles over a 30-minute session twice a week for 3 weeks.

The Emsella chair helps target weakened muscles within the pelvic floor. The stimulation of these muscles improves bladder control and reduces incontinence. Some may see immediate results while others may not feel any different until they have had a few sessions. 95% of individuals who choose Emsella and have either stress, urge, or mixed, will see improvement.

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!

What can I expect during Emsella treatment?

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.

What is the downtime of Emsella?

There is no downtime. It is a walk-in, walk-out procedure. You can get back to your daily routine right after the treatment.

Does Emsella treatment hurt?

Emsella treatment may feel a little tingly but it is painless.

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.

How many Emsella sessions I should take?

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.
