Advancements in medical technology have paved the way for life-changing therapies like EMSELLA. This non-invasive treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction has the power to transform lives thanks to its unique technology. With EMSELLA, you’ll see improvement not only in your urinary incontinence and sexual stamina but also in your confidence and well-being.
So, what exactly is this revolutionary treatment and why would you consider it?
What Is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a breakthrough treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction developed by BTL Aesthetics. It was designed to treat urinary incontinence and other problems that can result from this issue, like erectile dysfunction and vaginal laxity.
The treatment works much like Kegel exercises — only better.
The EMSELLA medical device is designed like a chair in which patients sit fully clothed. The device then sends high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to pelvic floor muscles, triggering thousands of Kegel-like contractions. A 20-minute session is said to be the equivalent of 11,000 Kegel contractions. This is way beyond what you can achieve with regular Kegels.
What’s important to note here is that EMSELLA was scientifically proven to stimulate the entire pelvic floor to restore neuromuscular control. The result is improved bladder control in those with stress incontinence and intimate well-being.
Am I a Good Candidate?
EMSELLA is meant for anyone experiencing problems associated with pelvic floor dysfunction. The treatment has also been FDA-approved for both men and women.
While anyone can develop pelvic floor dysfunction, the condition is more prevalent in women, especially after vaginal delivery. When the muscles of the pelvic floor weaken due to childbirth, hormonal fluctuations and aging, there can be a lack of coordination between the different muscle groups comprising the pelvic floor. The result is either too much or not enough tension in these muscles, resulting in:
- Urinary incontinence
- Urgency and painful urination
- Constipation and straining
- Lower back/pelvic pain
- Sexual dysfunction
But there are instances where EMSELLA should not be used, such as during pregnancy, if you have a pacemaker, metal plates in the pelvic region or an IUD.
Top 5 Reasons to Consider This Transformative Treatment
Treatment options for pelvic floor dysfunction range from the more conservative Kegel exercises and bladder training to medications and even surgery. EMSELLA is a great alternative for the following reasons:
1. It’s Safe and It Works
The usual treatments for pelvic floor dysfunction all have their limitations which affect treatment efficiency. Many find it hard to remain consistent with Kegels or they may find laser therapies to be too painful or inconvenient. Plus, medications have side effects, and surgery can be risky.
EMSELLA, on the other hand, is proven to work with minimal risks or side effects. Clinical studies found that up to 70% of those treated with EMSELLA saw improvement and that there were no adverse reactions. Many of the study’s subjects also reported increased sexual desire and better urinary control as a bonus.
2. It’s Comfortable and Convenient
What many appreciate about EMSELLA is the experience. For this treatment, you’ll be sitting fully clothed in a comfortable, chair-like device. The treatment is operator-free, so you can sit comfortably and relax during the entire procedure. There is also no pain or downtime involved. The only sensation felt is unusual tingling as the device delivers HIFEM energy.
This treatment is also convenient in comparison to surgery and laser therapies. That’s because you don’t have to prepare much for this 30-minute treatment. Patients only need to have three to six rounds of treatment for noticeable improvement.
3. It’s Non-Invasive
While surgery can practically cure some cases of urinary incontinence, it can be risky, require a long period for recovery and come with additional costs. Some patients are also not good candidates for surgery.
As a non-invasive treatment, EMSELLA can offer the benefits of surgery with less risk, no downtime and no additional costs. Non-invasive treatments are typically safer and more convenient to the patient. Patients get to experience the benefits of treatment with less discomfort. Plus, there’s no need to take time off work and other social activities when being treated with EMSELLA.
4. Your Sexual Functioning Will Improve
While EMSELLA was originally designed for people with urinary incontinence, it can also help those with erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction.
HIFEM technology was tested for efficiency in enhancing male and female sexual wellness and showed promising results. One study, for example, found that patients noticed significant improvement in sexual functioning and satisfaction. The same study noted that penile ultrasound scans showed improvement in tissue segments, suggesting it does work to treat erectile dysfunction.
The same findings hold true for women as well,and many studies testing EMSELLA noted improved sexual satisfaction as a bonus.
5. You’ll Experience Greater Well-Being
Urinary incontinence can be embarrassing, stressful and even debilitating. You may feel anxious about doing normal things, like playing with kids, running, lifting or even sneezing, because all these could trigger leaking. You may even avoid certain work and other social obligations due to feelings of embarrassment.
EMSELLA can help you get your life back by effectively addressing this problem. Studies on EMSELLA show that women rely less on pads and feel more confident following treatment. Men also report better bladder control and better sexual functioning thanks to EMSELLA.
