EMSELLA for Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine, affects millions of people worldwide. Often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, or bladder dysfunction, urinary incontinence can affect both men and women and often leads to decreased confidence and a loss of intimacy. A breakthrough, FDA-approved therapy called EMSELLA™ offers a non-invasive solution for strengthening pelvic floor muscles and restoring bladder control.

How EMSELLA™ Works

Receiving treatment sessions is as simple as sitting on a chair. The patient sits fully clothed on a specially designed seat that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to deliver pulses that stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. Over the course of a 28-minute session, thousands of contractions are produced in the pelvic floor that are more intense than those achieved with pelvic exercises.

This course of treatment helps to strengthen the muscles and restore support for the bladder and urethra. It can also reduce episodes of incontinence and improve bladder control. EMSELLA™ stands out because of its ability to stimulate the entire pelvic floor area in a way that pelvic exercises cannot achieve.

Many patients report improvements after just a few sessions. Optimal results are typically seen after six treatments, spaced over a three-week period.

One clinical study showed that 95% of patients reported a significant improvement of quality of life after six treatment sessions, and 100% demonstrated a better awareness of pelvic floor muscles because of EMSELLA™ treatment. 1

Candidates for EMSELLA™

EMSELLA™ can be an effective option for patients who suffer from different types of incontinence (stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence). Women who have weakened pelvic floor muscles after childbirth, during menopause, or as a result of aging can especially benefit, as well as men who are experiencing urinary incontinence after prostate surgery.

It is not an option for patients who are pregnant or have metal implants, tumors, or heart disorders.

Benefits of EMSELLA™

One of EMSELLA™’s most significant benefits is that it is comfortable. The treatment is not painful, and patients experience only tingling and muscle contractions during the session. Other benefits include:

  • Non-invasive option
  • No surgery or medications
  • No downtime needed

EMSELLA™ is considered safe for most patients, and is a great option for men and women of any age who are seeking a solution to incontinence and want to improve their quality of life. However, it is best to undergo an evaluation with one of our pelvic health specialists to be sure that the best treatment is provided for your circumstances.
