Emsella

September 21, 2023
Vaginal Rejuvenation

Emsella is a breakthrough treatment for incontinence for women and men. Sitting fully clothed on the Emsella chair (aka. the Kegel throne), patients passively receive intensive strength training for muscles supporting the pelvic floor. High intensity focused electro-magnetic (HIFEM) technology is emitted from the Emsella chair, painlessly stimulating muscle contractions and building up muscles along the entire pelvic floor.

Pelvic floor muscles span the bottom of the pelvis like a hammock. These muscles supply foundational support for the bladder, uterus, prostate and bowels. When these muscles are strong, there is bladder control. As the pelvic floor muscles weaken with age, childbirth, or hormonal changes, so does the foundational support.

Each Emsella session supplies pelvic floor muscles the equivalent of about 11,200 Kegels. Six sessions are recommended, ideally scheduled at 2-3 per week. After the recommended six sessions, the equivalent of over 67,000 Kegels is completed.

Patients may add Emsella treatments as needed for maintenance of pelvic muscle strength and bladder control.

BTL EMSELLA® - Mechanism of action

There are two different settings or protocols for Emsella treatments:

Emsella Protocol 1 is used for incontinence.

Emsella Protocol 2 is used once incontinence is under control and sexual wellness becomes the focus.

FAQ’s

What is Incontinence?

Incontinence is a loss of bladder control. There are three types of incontinence: stress, urge and mixed.

  • Stress incontinence happens when we cough, laugh, sneeze, exercise, etc.
  • Urge incontinence is sudden, intense urges to urinate. These urges can happen anytime and happen often.
  • Mixed incontinence is a combination of stress and urge incontinence.

What causes incontinence?

Weak pelvic floor muscles. These floor muscles basically hold up, or support, the bladder, uterus, prostrate and bowels. These muscles can become weak with age, childbirth, hormonal changes and lack of regular Kegel exercises.

How can incontinence be treated?

Strengthening pelvic floor muscles with Emsella is a highly effective non-surgical choice.

 What is an Emsella session like?

Sitting fully clothed on the Emsella chair (aka. Kegel throne), many patients feel a buzzing or tapping sensation as electromagnetic energy stimulates involuntary muscle contractions along the pelvic floor. Even though they are stronger than regular Kegels, these muscle contractions are painless.

During each 28-minute passive workout session, pelvic floor muscles complete the equivalent of over 11,200 Kegels.

Six sessions are recommended, scheduled at 2-3 times per week.

After six sessions, pelvic floor muscles will have contracted, or “crunched,” the equivalent of over 65,000 Kegels.

There is no downtime or post-treatment limitations.

When will I feel any results with Emsella?

Many patients feel results after the first session, with increased improvement over time and subsequent sessions.

Patients can schedule more treatments as needed to maintain pelvic floor strength.

Regular Kegel exercises can help extend the results of Emsella treatments.
