EMSELLA
Revolutionary treatment focused on pelvic floor and urinary incontinence.
Revolutionary treatment focused on pelvic floor and urinary incontinence.
Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, BTL Emsella is one of the easiest, most relaxing, and non-invasive treatments available to help reduce urine loss and leakage, and free women and men from urinary incontinence.
The most common type of incontinence is stress incontinence, which occurs when the pelvic floor muscles weaken. Normally, pelvic floor muscles firmly surround the urethra, keeping everything together. After childbirth and menopause, the muscles can weaken causing incontinence. This means the muscles don't surround the urethra and bladder as firmly and can relax at uncomfortable moments... leading to uncomfortable leaks. Prostate surgery can also result in incontinence in men, which is why at Gineco, we help people of all ages who have experienced all types of trauma with the Emsella chair treatment.
A common treatment for stress incontinence is Kegel exercises, which gradually strengthen the pelvic floor muscles by regularly tensing and relaxing them. These can be effective, but they are time-consuming and difficult, have slow progress, and for women with particularly weak pelvic floor muscles, they are exercises with a high level of difficulty.
Traditionally, Kegel exercises have been recommended as the most effective non-invasive means of improving pelvic floor muscle strength. Unfortunately, it's difficult for many to identify the correct muscles to work and maintain the necessary focus. Consequently, the success rate with these exercises can vary between 30 and 90%. For those with more severe forms of incontinence, Kegels are not helpful.
There can be certain risks when Kegels are done incorrectly. From additional weakening of the pelvic floor muscles to contraction causing painful intercourse.
The process begins with a consultation where we'll review your medical history and symptoms to determine if this is the right treatment for you.
During your session, you just need to sit comfortably in the Emsella chair. It's located in a private section of the clinic so you can have privacy while undergoing treatment. There's no need to undress, so you can remain clothed and seated during a 28-minute session. You may experience some tingling, but there's no pain or other discomfort. You can bring a book or something to listen to that will keep you occupied during that time. We ask that you wear comfortable clothing like loose pants, so there are no restrictions on your body from clothing while the electromagnetic technology performs contractions, so avoid jeans or tight pants.
During each session, you will have experienced the equivalent of more than 11,000 Kegels. This procedure helps not only strengthen existing muscles but also create new muscle fibers and stimulate proteins. It also helps improve neuromuscular control of the bladder.
The treatment course we offer is eight sessions, performed over three weeks. You should be able to experience some improvement from your first or second session, with the most notable difference by the sixth session. We are all different and unique, so we work with you to achieve the best possible results.
BTL Emsella urinary incontinence treatment uses HIFEM technology to stimulate pelvic floor muscles without having to consciously tense them. Electromagnetic currents help trigger muscle contractions, which "trains" the muscles in the same way as Kegel exercises.
Using HIFEM technology, BTL Emsella stimulates the pelvic floor muscles. Similar to Kegel exercises, but at a higher intensity, speed, and without effort, what's called supramaximal contraction level, achieving more than 11,000 contractions in 28 minutes. This technology creates a magnetic field around the pelvic floor that triggers muscle contractions. The muscles become stronger and tighter with each session.
The treatment also triggers the production of new muscle fibers and proteins, to make the muscles stronger and tighter and improve the connection between the pelvic floor muscles and the brain, which helps prevent future leaks.
