TREATING INCONTINENCE WITH EMSELLA®

EMSELLA® is a unique technology that addresses those suffering from incontinence through a completely non-invasive option. EMSELLA® utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions re-educate the muscles of incontinent patients.

To date, five clinical studies have been published on EMSELLA. These studies confirm 95% of patients report an improved quality of life.

WHAT IS URINARY INCONTINENCE

Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are three different types of urinary incontinence:

1. Stress incontinence is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising
2. Urge incontinence is the sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently
3. Mixed incontinence is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence

WHAT CAUSES URINARY INCONTINENCE?

This might be a result of weak pelvic floor muscles since pelvic floor muscles play an important role in supporting pelvic organs and controlling continence. Physiological changes can contribute to the development of urinary incontinence; changes such as vaginal delivery, menopause, and aging can decondition pelvic floor muscles.

THE IMPORTANCE OF STRONG PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES

Pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles that support the pelvic organs and span the bottom of the pelvis. Strong pelvic floor muscles gives you control over your bladder and bowel. Weakened pelvic floor muscles mean your internal organs are not fully supported and you may have difficulty controlling the release of urine.

HOW LONG DOES AN EMSELLA® TREATMENT LAST?

Your provider will tailor a treatment plan for you. A typical treatment takes about 30 minutes and you will need about six sessions, scheduled twice a week.

WHAT DOES AN EMSELLA® TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?

You will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.

HOW FAST WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM EMSELLA® TREATMENTS?

You may observe improvement after a single session. The results will typically continue to improve over the next few weeks.**

Important Information:

Your results may vary. If you experience uncomfortable pain at the site of application during treatment, immediately discontinue the treatment and speak with your treatment provider. Treatment should not be applied if you have electronic or metal implants. As with any medical procedure, ask your doctor if the EMSELLA® procedure is right for you. BTL EMSELLA® is intended to provide entirely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of pelvic floor musculature for the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control for the treatment of male and female urinary incontinence.
