Emsella Treatment for Urinary Incontinence
Many women struggle with urinary incontinence. This uncomfortable condition is associated with childbirth, natural aging, and hormonal changes. Even if you regularly perform Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor, changes to your body can result in incontinence or a lack of bladder control. Urinary incontinence can be a significant annoyance, prompting the need for pads and panty liners to prevent accidents. While surgery may improve the condition, Emsella is a non-invasive option that provides the results you’re seeking without the need for invasive procedures or downtime.
What Is Emsella?
Emsella is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for urinary incontinence. The device uses high-intensity electromagnetic waves to stimulate muscle contractions in the pelvic floor. During a single Emsella treatment, pelvic muscles contract up to 11,200 times, resulting in stronger muscles and a reduction in future urinary continence.Emsella is considered more effective than traditional Kegel exercises for pelvic floor tightening. Rather than focusing on a few areas, the Emsella chair can contract muscles deep in the pelvic area, strengthening the bladder, the uterus, and the bowels. A treatment session with Emsella requires you to sit on an Emsella chair, fully clothed. The chair uses electromagnetic energy to target all of the pelvic muscles, and each session takes up to 30 minutes. For the best results, we recommended that you have two Emsella sessions per week over three weeks. Results appear after the first session, with maximum results showing up approximately two weeks after your final session. You can schedule maintenance treatments every six months to a year.
What Are the Benefits of Emsella?
Patients who undergo Emsella see significant benefits from the treatment, including the following.
Reduction of Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a frustrating condition. Regular Kegel exercises can help, but they take time to make a significant improvement. Consider Emsella to be the superstar of Kegel exercises. You’ll experience up to 11,200 muscle contractions in one Emsella setting — many more than if you tried to perform them yourself.
Less Need for Panty Liners
Women with urinary incontinence often use panty liners to protect their clothing from leaks. While liners aren’t necessarily uncomfortable, they can be frustrating, and using them daily can be expensive. When you undergo an Emsella treatment program, you’ll find that you gain more control over your bladder, reducing your need for panty liners.
Non-Invasive
While surgical procedures can correct problems with urinary incontinence, they come with a need for recovery and the risks of undergoing surgery. Individuals who don’t have the time for surgical recovery benefit from the non-invasive technology used in an Emsella treatment.
Quick Procedure
Emsella is a fast procedure that can be completed in under 30 minutes. There’s no need for a long time spent in the office. It can be completed on your lunch break without anyone knowing you underwent the treatment.
No Downtime
Immediately following an Emsella treatment, you’ll be able to return to your normal activities. There’s no need for downtime at home. You can return to the office, take care of your children, and run errands as usual.
Better Quality of Life
Struggling with urinary incontinence isn’t fun. You likely need multiple bathroom breaks during the day, and leaks can require you to change clothes often. Developing stronger pelvic muscles can reduce bladder leaks and improve your quality of life, freeing you from worry about future urinary incontinence accidents.
Enhanced Sexual Response
While Emsella primarily aims to improve urinary incontinence, many patients note improvements in their sexual performance. Strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles can enhance sexual response. Not only will you be improving your medical condition, but you can also benefit from better performance in the bedroom.
What Can I Expect During an Emsella Treatment?
Emsella treatment begins with a consultation at the Spa West office in Westlake, OH. We’ll ask for your medical history and a list of medications you currently take to make sure that you’re a good candidate for Emsella. We’ll need to understand your history of urinary incontinence as well. Feel free to ask any questions concerning the treatment during this time. Following the consultation, many people choose to undergo their first session immediately.You won’t need to disrobe for an Emsella treatment. You’ll sit on the Emsella chair in a position that allows the technology to access your pelvic floor muscles easily. The treatment lasts up to 30 minutes. Many people use the time to read a book or listen to music. Following the treatment, you can return to your daily activities. There is no downtime necessary. Usually, patients obtain the best results from multiple sessions. Many people choose to undergo two sessions per week for three weeks. Noticeable changes and a reduction of urinary incontinence become more apparent with each treatment session.
How Long Do Results from Emsella Last?
Emsella results last up to six months before a maintenance treatment is required. During the time following your Emsella treatment sessions, we recommend that you regularly perform Kegel exercises on your own. Performing Kegel exercises can enhance your results and delay the need for maintenance sessions. After undergoing an Emsella treatment, you will likely find performing Kegels to be easier and more productive.
