Emsella® in Austin, Texas
What is Emsella?
The BTL Emsella is a noninvasive treatment for urinary incontinence and sexual wellbeing for men or women. It uses high intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to stimulate muscle contractions in your entire pelvic floor. The pelvic floor consists of layers of muscles that are stretched like a hammock under the bladder, uterus and bowels. When these muscles are weakened, they do not fully support those organs, which may lead to difficulty controlling the release of urine.
How Does Emsella Work?
Emsella induces thousands of Kegel-like pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions re-educate and strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles, restoring neuromuscular control. Increasing your pelvic floor muscles significantly improves quality of life by reducing symptoms related to incontinence, waking up at night to urinate, posture, steady gait and improve sexual satisfaction and performance.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical course of Emsella consists of 6 28 minute sessions scheduled twice a week. Your results gradually reveal themselves during this time as your pelvic floor becomes stronger with each treatment. You may need more than the recommended six sessions, depending on the degree of weakness in your pelvic floor muscles.
What Can I Expect in a treatment session?
This non invasive treatment involves sitting fully dressed on the Emsella chair. Your provider will show you how to position yourself on the Emsella chair to get the best results. You'll feel tingling and contractions of the pelvic floor muscles but the experience shouldn’t be painful at all. While you may feel tingling or a “pulling” sensation in your pelvic floor area, you can read or listen to a podcast through the entirety of the treatment.
