Urinary incontinence is a common problem among all ages of women, but in particular, middle-aged and older women. 60% of women between the ages of 45 and 55 experience frequent episodes of UI. Also known as bladder control loss, urinary incontinence can occur in a number of ways. These include leaking urine while sneezing or coughing, inability to completely empty bladder, intense need to urinate often and inability to get to the toilet in time.
Urinary incontinence is a symptom that is caused by a variety of things, including childbirth, pregnancy, aging, hysterectomy, menopause, and neurological disorders.
Fortunately, there are many treatment interventions and methods that are available to women, but these have side effects, recovery times etc. One noninvasive approach is the Emsella treatment. Its goal is to treat and strengthen the pelvic floor to help improve the quality of life. You may be wondering, what is Emsella?

What is Emsella?
Emsella FDA:
How can patients benefit from the procedure?
How does Emsella compare to other procedures?
Candidates:
Notes:
Urinary Incontinence is an involuntary leakage of urine.
Types of Stress U.I. :
- Emsella is a noninvasive procedure that helps treat urinary incontinence by strengthening the pelvic floor. The technology stimulates the pelvic floor muscles with thousands of supramaximal contractions per second. This stimulation leads to muscle reeducation and therapy regained control over both the pelvic floor muscles and the bladder.
- Uses HIFEM technology to cause DEEP pelvic floor muscle stimulation
- Electrical charge within the tissue
- Targets and strengthens pelvic floor muscles
- Lasers only target collagen/elastin structures
- Treats the core problem!!! Muscle is getting stronger and raising the pelvic floor!
- 11,200 Kegels in a single 28min. session
Emsella FDA:
- Cleared to provide entirely noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation of pelvic floor musculature of the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control for the treatment of male and female urinary incontinence.
How can patients benefit from the procedure?
- Emsella helps patients restore the control of their bladder, pelvic floor muscles, and eliminate incontinence or any kind of intimate discomfort.
- Non-invasive
How does Emsella compare to other procedures?
- Emsella is the only procedure that targets pelvic floor muscles and causes deep pelvic floor stimulation because of HIFEM technology.
- Other treatments like intravaginal electrostimulations only treats the vaginal mucosal layer and they have high risk of burns and lack the effect of the electrical current treats tissue superficially.
- With lasers and other intravaginal devices, they are not treating the muscle it is treating vagina canal. You are having to insert a probe and take clothes off. With Emsella you are treating the muscle and core issue and do not have to take clothes off.
- Kegels do NOT contract pelvic floor muscles.
Candidates:
- Urinary incontinence
- Recovery of Childbirth / Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles
- Patients looking for an improvement in their quality of intimate life
- Antiaging
- Patients who want to maintain sexual function
- ED for Men
Notes:
- Feminine procedures grow 27% per year
- Over 19M / 200M worldwide suffer from incontinence
- 45% of incontinent women reported “loss of intimacy”
- 5/10 do not seek help or know that there are noninvasive procedure that can help with the issue.
Urinary Incontinence is an involuntary leakage of urine.
- Caused by:
- Aging
- Vaginal delivery
- Postpartum / Post-Menopausal
- Poor Blood Flow
Types of Stress U.I. :
- Stress Urinary Incontinence – associated with activities increasing intra-abdominal pressure.
- Mainly Post-Partum patients
- Urge U.I. – involves involuntary loss of urine occurring when strong sudden need to urinate.
- Bladder contracts when it should not, causing leakage
- Involves involuntary loss of urine occurring when a person has a strong/sudden urge to urine
- Mixed U.I.- involves symptoms of stress and urge urinary incontinence.
- Mainly Postmenopausal Patients
- Combination of symptoms of the stress/urge
- Urinary leakage occurs activities with increased intra-abdominal pressure during strong sudden urges to go
