One of the most common questions we get is... what the heck is an Emsella Chair? Let us explain!
The BTL Emsella Chair is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared medical device that uses electromagnetic energy to treat urinary incontinence and improve pelvic floor health. It is designed to help both women and men who suffer from conditions such as stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and even post-surgery recovery, particularly for those who want a solution without surgery or downtime.
WHAT IT TREATS:
Urinary Incontinence: Including both stress incontinence (leaking during coughing, sneezing, or physical activity) and urge incontinence (a strong, sudden urge to urinate).
Pelvic Floor Weakness: It can help improve the overall strength and function of the pelvic floor muscles, which can be weakened due to childbirth, aging, or surgery.
HOW IT WORKS: Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles, which are difficult to target through traditional exercise like Kegels.
The electromagnetic energy causes thousands of supramaximal pelvic muscle contractions during each session. These contractions are much stronger than what can be achieved through voluntary muscle control (like with Kegel exercises).
This intense stimulation helps to rebuild muscle strength and improve muscle tone, which in turn enhances bladder control and pelvic health.
The treatment can also stimulate blood flow, enhance nerve function, and support overall pelvic floor rejuvenation.
HOW EFFECTIVE IT IS:
Immediate Results: Many patients report noticeable improvements after just one session, but optimal results typically appear after a series of treatments
Improved Continence: In clinical trials, more than 75% of patients reported improvement in symptoms, including reduced frequency of accidents and increased bladder control.
Long-Term Benefits: The results are long-lasting, with effects continuing for months after the initial treatment course, although occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain results.
Non-Surgical, No Downtime: One of the biggest advantages of Emsella is that it is a non-invasive procedure, meaning there is no need for surgery, and patients can resume normal activities immediately after each session. There are typically no side effects, though some patients may feel mild muscle fatigue after treatment.
