What is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a state-of-the-art, FDA-cleared treatment specifically designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This innovative technology utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate pelvic floor muscles intensely, effectively strengthening them and restoring the support of the pelvic organs. Unlike traditional urinary stress incontinence treatments and treatments for intimacy issues, EMSELLA is non-invasive, requiring no surgery or downtime, making it a convenient and effective solution for women and men facing bladder control and sexual health challenges.
EMSELLA for Women
The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, and women may experience weakened pelvic floor muscles as a result of hormonal changes/menopause, childbirth, genetics, age, obesity, or other factors. The pelvic floor muscles also contract during orgasm, so when these muscles are weakened orgasm may be less intense or may not happen at all. One EMSELLA treatment is the equivalent of up to 10,000 Kegel exercises, dramatically improving pelvic floor muscle tone to reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence and improve sexual satisfaction.
EMSELLA for Men
In men, the pelvic floor muscles provide support for the bladder, prostate, and rectum. The pelvic floor muscles are also essential for the formation and maintenance of an erection and satisfying ejaculation. Age can have an impact on pelvic floor muscle tone in men, as can prostate problems and prostatectomy procedures. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, EMSELLA treatment can greatly improve bladder control and erectile dysfunction, and it can also improve the promptness and duration of ejaculation
Benefits of EMSELLA
EMSELLA offers a multitude of benefits for women and men suffering from incontinence and intimacy issues, including:
- Significant reduction or complete elimination of urinary incontinence symptoms
- Non-surgical and non-invasive treatment
- No downtime or recovery period
- Fast and efficient sessions, typically completed in about 30 minutes
- Improvement in sexual function and quality of life
- A safe and comfortable treatment experience
How The EMSELLA Chair Works
The EMSELLA treatment works by targeting the pelvic floor muscles with electromagnetic energy, inducing thousands of supramaximal pelvic muscle contractions in each session. These contractions re-educate and strengthen the muscles, improving neuromuscular control and thereby reducing incontinence symptoms.3 The process is entirely non-invasive, allowing patients to remain fully clothed during treatment, and is both painless and comfortable, with no recovery time needed.
Preparing for EMSELLA
Preparing for an EMSELLA treatment is simple and straightforward. No special preparation is required, but patients are encouraged to arrive at their session in comfortable clothing. It’s also recommended to maintain a well-hydrated state by drinking plenty of water before the treatment to enhance conductivity and effectiveness of the HIFEM energy.
The EMSELLA Treatment
An EMSELLA session is quick and comfortable, lasting less than an hour. During the treatment, patients sit on the EMSELLA chair, fully clothed, while the device delivers HIFEM energy to the pelvic floor muscles. Patients may feel tingling and contractions during the session but can relax and read or simply rest throughout the treatment. Typically, a series of six 30-minute sessions, scheduled twice a week, is recommended for optimal results.
EMSELLA Recovery
One of the most appealing aspects of EMSELLA is that there is no recovery period. Patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after each session, including work and exercise, without any restrictions or discomfort.
FAQs about EMSELLA
Who is an ideal candidate for EMSELLA?
Women of any age experiencing urinary incontinence due to factors like aging, childbirth, or menopause can benefit from EMSELLA. This treatment is particularly beneficial for those who experience stress or urge incontinence, conditions often exacerbated by activities such as coughing, sneezing, or heavy lifting.
Men with weakened pelvic floor muscles due to age, former prostate procedures, or other factors may also be excellent candidates for EMSELLA.
EMSELLA is not recommended for patients who have pacemakers or who have recently undergone surgery in the treatment area.
How quickly will I see results?
Many patients report feeling improvements after their first few sessions, with the most significant results typically observed two to four weeks after the final session.
Is EMSELLA safe?
Yes, EMSELLA is FDA-cleared, and clinical studies have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in treating incontinence and intimacy issues related to pelvic floor muscle tone in women and men.4,5
How long do the results last?
The effects of EMSELLA can last for several months, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the benefits.
Does EMSELLA work better than kegel exercises?
EMSELLA, utilizing advanced electromagnetic technology, offers a comprehensive solution for strengthening pelvic floor muscles, significantly improving issues like urinary incontinence triggered by actions such as sneezing. This non-invasive treatment not only enhances sexual wellness by promoting better muscular control and strength but also seamlessly integrates into a personalized treatment plan with ease. Compared to traditional Kegel exercises, EMSELLA provides a more efficient and targeted approach to pelvic floor strengthening, requiring no physical exertion from the patient, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an effective and effortless path to improved pelvic health.
