Emsella

 

 
 Emsella is one of our most exciting devices! As a med spa, and as a retired internal medicine physician, I like to focus on health and wellness, not just beauty. Emsella offers just that. It is FDA approved to treat urinary incontinence in women AND men. It is completely noninvasive and you get to stay fully clothed!



Emsella strengthens all the pelvic floor muscles with HIFEM technology (High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy). It's like doing 11,000 Kegels in one 28 minute session. 

BTL has performed multiple studies with multiple providers. An article published in Lasers and Surgery in Medicine, 2019 reported that on average 64.42% of patients showed improvement in their ICIQ-UI score (a score of incontinence severity) and 53.68% decrease in absorbent pad use. 34.3% considered themselves completely cured. 64.29% of patients reported less leakage with sleeping. 44.19% reported they did not need to use absorbent pads at all! This study was done in patients who received 6 treatments. 

Another study published in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, December 19, 2019 showed significant improvement of pelvic floor integrity proven by 3D ultrasound. Treated patients achieved a 3X higher level of improvement in their PDFI-20 questionnaire (another marker of improvement in symptoms.) All assessment methods showed the HIFEM technology (Emsella) is more effective than electrostimulation for treatment of weakened pelvic floor muscles. 


Now let's talk about sexual wellness. Emsella is not FDA approved to improve sexual wellness, orgasms, etc., HOWEVER, studies are showing it works very well in this area! A study presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery 2021, reported on 33 females (around 50 years of age) who showed decreased interest in sexual activity accompanied by urinary incontinence.  Both desire and incontinence improved. Makes sense doesn't it? I mean who wants to dribble during sex?! Their ICIQ-UI (see above) score decreased by 61%. FSFI score (sexual function score) increased by 33%. PISQ-12 (another continence, sexual wellness questionnaire) increased significantly by 24%. Patients also benefited from increased sexual desire, improved lubrication, and orgasmic response.



If you're ready to stop dribbling when you cough, laugh or sneeze, ready to stop using pads, sitting with your legs crossed all the time, or having to carry around a change of clothes......give us a call! Emsella is completely noninvasive and painless and may be a great option for you!
