Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly disrupt daily life, causing frustration and discomfort. EMSELLA offers a non-invasive solution to these common issues by utilizing advanced electromagnetic technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. At Shaheen Vascular, we proudly offer EMSELLA treatments for patients in Mountain View and San Jose, CA. This innovative approach allows patients to regain control and improve their quality of life without surgery or downtime.
EMSELLA is a non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, primarily used for addressing urinary incontinence and enhancing sexual health. This treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session, which are more intense than voluntary exercises like Kegels.
EMSELLA treatment strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, which play a critical role in bladder control. Enhanced muscle strength helps reduce the frequency and urgency of urinary incontinence episodes.
The high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology used in EMSELLA induces thousands of muscle contractions per session, significantly enhancing pelvic floor muscle strength and neuromuscular control.
EMSELLA requires no surgical procedures or needles, making it a painless treatment option. Patients can remain fully clothed during sessions, adding convenience and comfort.
Each 30-minute session equates to performing over 11,000 Kegel exercises. This efficiency means patients can achieve significant results in a short amount of time.
After EMSELLA treatments, no recovery period is needed. Patients can immediately return to their daily activities without any restrictions.
EMSELLA can significantly reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence, providing greater control and confidence. Enhanced pelvic floor strength leads to fewer accidents and a more active lifestyle.
Strengthened pelvic floor muscles can lead to improved sexual satisfaction and performance. Both men and women may experience enhanced sensitivity and stronger orgasms.
A typical treatment course comprises around six sessions, providing gradual and sustained improvements. Regular sessions ensure long-lasting benefits and optimal results.
Each EMSELLA session lasts only about 30 minutes, fitting easily into busy schedules. Patients can receive treatment during a lunch break or between daily errands.
EMSELLA is FDA-approved for treating urinary incontinence and strengthening pelvic floor muscles. Its safety and efficacy have been validated through clinical studies.
The EMSELLA treatment begins with an initial consultation to assess the patient’s condition and determine suitability for the treatment. During the sessions, patients sit fully clothed on the EMSELLA chair, which emits electromagnetic waves to stimulate pelvic floor muscles.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, during which patients experience strong yet comfortable muscle contractions. No anesthesia is required; the environment is designed for maximum comfort and relaxation.
We ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the treatment by monitoring progress and adjusting settings as needed. After the recommended six sessions are completed, a follow-up appointment is scheduled to evaluate the results and discuss any additional needs. This step-by-step approach ensures effective and personalized care.
Many patients report noticing improvements after just one or two sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after completing the full course of treatment. The initial sessions often lead to a noticeable reduction in symptoms such as urinary incontinence. Results can continue improving over the following weeks as the pelvic floor muscles become stronger and more toned, enhancing bladder control and pelvic health.
The results of EMSELLA can be long-lasting, particularly when combined with regular pelvic floor exercises. Many patients experience improved urinary incontinence and pelvic floor strength for several months after completing the treatment course. To maintain the benefits, periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended. These sessions help ensure ongoing muscle strength and prevent the recurrence of symptoms, providing lasting relief and improved quality of life.
A typical treatment plan with EMSELLA includes about six sessions scheduled twice weekly. However, the exact number of sessions may vary depending on the individual’s condition and treatment goals. Most patients notice improvements after one or two sessions, with continued progress throughout treatment.
Good candidates for EMSELLA include individuals experiencing urinary incontinence or pelvic floor weakness. It is particularly beneficial for women after childbirth, older adults, and those looking to improve their pelvic health without undergoing surgery. It is also suitable for men with similar issues.
However, those who are pregnant or have a history of cancer, chemo/radiation therapy, pulmonary insufficiency, cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator/neurostimulator, or metal implant will need to discuss their condition with Dr. Shaheen before undergoing treatment. A personalized consultation will help determine if the treatment is right for you.
