Another treatment that pairs well with diVa to treat incontinence in women and also works for men with incontinence issues is Emsella! Before we go into detail on this treatment, let’s discuss the types of urinary incontinence.
Types of Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is defined as a level of bladder control loss. This issue affects twice as many women as men, largely due to pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Urinary incontinence can also be an adverse effect of aging, but that does not mean you have to live with it.
Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence is when there is some type of physical stressor in the body that causes urine leakage. For many people this would be actions like sneezing, laughing, jumping, and other physical movements that cause a contraction of the muscles in the bladder. With stress incontinence, your pelvic floor muscles cannot hold in the urine with the movement, causing leakage.
Urge Incontinence (Overactive Bladder)
Urge incontinence is the sudden significant urge to urinate when you don’t have a full bladder. This can happen so quickly that you may not make it to the restroom in time.
Urge incontinence can also cause frequent urination more than 8 times a day. When you get to the bathroom, you may not actually urinate very much.
It’s possible to have a combination of stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Let’s get into how the Emsella treatment can help relieve your symptoms.
Emsella Urinary Incontinence Treatment
How It Works
Emsella is a treatment for women and men that uses the electromagnetic technology of our Emsculpt treatment for the intent of treating your pelvic floor muscles. It is a chair-like machine that stimulates your pelvic floor muscles to have thousands of contractions is just 30 minutes.
The contractions strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to help a variety of concerns, including:
- Urinary leakage
- Urinary urgency
- Urinary frequency
- Sexual health
Emsella helps get rid of that urgent feeling by strengthening the muscles responsible for controlling your bladder. The stronger they are, the more they’re able to control the release of urine.
The Benefits of Emsella Incontinence Treatments in Kansas City
Treats the Entire Pelvic Floor
Emsella effectively engages all muscles in your pelvic floor that are associated with loss of urinary control to strengthen them and improve incontinence issues.
Fully Clothed Treatment With Zero Downtime
The treatment is not painful and requires no downtime. You remain fully clothed for the treatment, making it quick and easy!
Get Back Your Freedom and Confidence
Many of those with incontinence issues suffer with the worry about potential leakage and the need to wear protective undergarments. When you improve your urinary incontinence, you get rid of the worry and get back the freedom to go without backup protection.
Emsella Treatment Process at Aestheticare
Consultation
Each Aestheticare client begins with a complimentary consultation for Emsella at our office. This allows for your provider to explain the procedure and set realistic expectations for your results.
Emsella Appointment
On the day of the first treatment, you can wear whatever clothing you’re comfortable in, as you will remain fully clothed throughout the procedure. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable and sitting upright on the Emsella chair before beginning your treatment. Once the device is ready to go, you will remain on the chair for 28 minutes while it stimulates muscle contractions to strengthen your pelvic floor.
See Results!
After 4 to 6 sessions with Emsella, you will find you have more control over your pelvic floor muscles and bladder with relieved symptoms of urinary incontinence. Bonus, this also can improve your sex life by increasing sensation and muscle strength.
