How does Emsella Chair Treatment Compare to Other Pelvic Floor Strengthening Therapies?
The Emsella Chair stands apart as the only procedure specifically designed to target and deliver deep pelvic floor stimulation through its HIFEM®* technology. In contrast, all other procedures, such as intravaginal electrical stimulation, carry the risk of burns and often yield suboptimal results due to their limited ability to treat only the superficial layers of tissue. Moreover, they necessitate the insertion of disposable vaginal probes, which can be uncomfortable for patients.
When compared to Kegel exercises, Emsella Chair treatment offers a significant advantage. Many patients struggle to correctly contract their pelvic floor muscles when performing Kegel exercises, making it challenging to establish a habit of doing them consistently, at least three times a day, and repeating them hundreds of times to achieve similar results. While mastering the correct Kegel technique can take time, it remains a valuable exercise to incorporate into daily life.
The Emsella Chair treatment, on the other hand, works by stimulating the pelvic floor muscles, training the brain to identify and contract the correct muscles effortlessly. This is especially beneficial for individuals who find it difficult to accurately engage their pelvic floor muscles. Over the course of several Emsella sessions, patients experience increased sensation during treatment, indicating muscle strengthening and improved efficacy. As the sessions progress, the muscles become more efficient, further validating the effectiveness of the Emsella Chair treatment.
Is It Safe?
The Emsella Chair has received FDA clearance and CE Medical Certification, marking it as an innovative first-of-its-kind technology. Numerous studies have demonstrated its remarkable effectiveness in strengthening pelvic floor muscles, addressing issues such as incontinence and sexual dysfunction. During a complimentary consultation at Marlow Clinic, your nurse will thoroughly explain how Emsella works and address any safety concerns you may have. Importantly, Emsella has been shown to be devoid of any adverse side effects
Did it hurt?
This is the great advantage of the Emsella chair. Patients say it's completely painless, and the treatment feels like an intense pelvic floor workout. There will be a slight "tingling sensation" during the treatment, but it is not painful.
How Long Do the Effects Last?
You will notice immediate results after your first treatment, and these effects will continue to improve with subsequent sessions over the following weeks. We recommend undergoing a series of 6, 30-minute treatments to significantly enhance pelvic floor strength.
The duration of the treatment's effectiveness depends on the severity of your symptoms at the onset. Most individuals will experience positive impacts on their symptoms for up to a year. However, to maintain this strength, we advise following a post-treatment care routine that includes performing Kegel exercises or regular Pilates sessions, as well as undergoing Emsella treatments every 6 months.
Am I Suitable for the Treatment?
The Emsella Chair for incontinence is an excellent choice for women and men of any age (18 and above) who wish to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles for core stability, address urinary incontinence, or enhance sexual pleasure. Whether it's post-partum recovery, multiple childbirths, or a lifelong struggle with weak pelvic floor muscles, incontinence can occur at any age and under various circumstances. With increased sensation and feeling, you can expect a significant and welcome improvement in your intimate life quality, including enhanced sexual pleasure. Emsella can be beneficial if you experience any of the following conditions:
- Weak pelvic floor muscles affecting core stability
- Stress-induced urinary incontinence due to menopause or childbirth
- Embarrassing leakage of urine during laughter, coughing, sneezing, or physical exertion
- An inability to control your bladder when you suddenly feel the urge to urinate
- Intimate health concerns such as vaginal laxity and difficulty reaching orgasm
However, if you are currently pregnant, have a pacemaker, metal plates (e.g., from hip replacement surgery), a defibrillator, or are fitted with a copper coil or intrauterine device (IUD), you may not be suitable for the treatment at this time.
Emsella – Before and After Treatment
Scientific results are evident through pre- and post-treatment ultrasound imaging of patients' pelvic floors. The problem stems from insufficient support provided by pelvic floor muscles to the pelvic organs, impacting bladder control. The Emsella Chair effectively stimulates these muscles, delivering thousands of supramaximal contractions during each session, encouraging muscle rejuvenation and restoring pelvic floor control, thereby lifting the bladder back into its proper position.
The efficacy of Emsella is truly remarkable. Physicians nationwide have been amazed and impressed by the outcomes of this non-invasive treatment for women suffering from pelvic floor weakness, stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and mixed urinary incontinence. Many patients describe Emsella as a life-changing rehabilitation therapy, yielding extremely satisfying results. Not only do women appreciate the therapeutic effects, but they also enjoy the treatment process itself. The relief Emsella can provide may assist you in overcoming bladder leakage and restoring your quality of life.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Emsella?
Emsella is an excellent choice for both men and women who aim to achieve the following:
- Improved Bladder Control: Whether you suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or urge incontinence, Emsella can offer assistance.
- Enhanced Intimacy: If you desire to add a spark to your bedroom activities, strengthening your pelvic floor is a great place to start.
- Postpartum Recovery: Postpartum recovery is no joke, and Emsella can be a valuable tool in your journey.
- Relief from Pelvic Pain: Chronic pelvic pain can be debilitating, and Emsella may offer relief from such discomfort.
Emsella is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it's best to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a specialist from Natura Dermatology and Cosmetics, to determine if it's suitable for you.
