Have You Lost That Loving Feeling?
Combating age-related changes in the pelvis safely and non-surgically
As we age, changes in hormonal balance, as well as physiological shifts, can lessen the sex drive, leading to feelings of disappointment and frustration. Urinary incontinence is one particular physical ailment that can seriously inhibit your love life, causing anxiety, stress, and embarrassment. This condition occurs when patients lose full or partial control of their bladders due to weakened muscles in the pelvic floor.
Until recently there were no viable non-surgical methods of treating urinary incontinence. But with Emsella, patients can safely and non-invasively reclaim their dignity and quality of life.
What is Emsella?
Emsella is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for managing urinary incontinence. There is also promising new research showing that Emsella may be able to address vaginal laxity as well. This is good news for women who have felt the effects of aging on their romantic affairs.
How does Emsella work?
The Emsella device delivers a multitude of tiny electromagnetic waves targeting the pelvic floor to induce deep muscular contractions mimicking Kegel repetitions. This technology is known as HIFEM. In this way, Emsella addresses the core reasons behind urinary incontinence without having to resort to surgical means. Emsella takes around 30 minutes, and patients can repeat the treatment up to 6 times for optimal results.
What can I expect during Emsella treatment?
During your procedure, you will sit on top of the electromagnetic device so that the pulses directly interact with your pelvic floor. While there is no major discomfort, you will feel a mild tingling sensation. You can spend the next 30 minutes resting, relaxing, reading, watching Netflix, or talking on the phone as the device accomplishes the goal of strengthening your pelvic muscles. A 30-minute Emsella session produces around 11,200 contractions, just to give you an idea of its power. This is equivalent to 11,200 Kegel exercises!
What happens after my Emsella treatment?
Because Emsella is non-surgical, there are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime to contend with. You can quickly return to your normal schedule after your session. Side effects are minimal and temporary but may include muscle spasms, pain in the joints, muscles or tendons, local erythema, or discoloration in the skin.
Most patients experience improvement in their condition after a single visit, with results continuing to improve over time. Our team at Acqua Blu Medical Spa in Pittsburgh suggests about 4-6 initial treatments, with results peaking 2-4 weeks after your procedure. Schedule a consultation today!
