What to Expect from Emsella Treatment
Posted on 19th June 2024 by Dr Yusra Al-Mukhtar
Did you know that a whopping 1 in 4 women experience a pelvic floor disorder in their lifetime? If this is you and you’re looking for pelvic floor treatment, Emsella treatment could be your saving grace. This treatment helps to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles as well as other health benefits you probably have never thought about.
Dealing with urinary issues, lower back tension, issues with bowel movement and other associated problems is not fun, so how can this be fixed?
Keep reading to learn how this non-invasive treatment could help you lead a more comfortable and confident life. Let’s start by understanding what Emsella is and how it works.
What Is Emsella Treatment?
Emsella treatment is an FDA-approved and non-invasive procedure designed to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
This innovative treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate muscle contractions in the pelvic floor, improving muscle strength and function. It’s a popular choice for those suffering from urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor issues.
So, How Exactly Does Emsella Work?
Emsella uses HIFEM technology to induce supramaximal contractions in the pelvic floor muscles. These contractions can stimulate pelvic floor muscles more intensely than those that can be achieved through voluntary exercises, such as kegel exercises.
During a single Emsella session, the Emsella chair emits electromagnetic waves that penetrate deep into the pelvic floor, causing thousands of muscle contractions.
These intense contractions help to re-educate and strengthen the muscles, which improves their function and provides better support to the bladder and other pelvic organs. Due to Emsella treatment being non-invasive, it doesn’t require any surgery or injections, which makes it a popular choice for many.
What Exactly Does The Emsella Treatment Involve?
The process of having an Emsella treatment is very simple and involves 3 simple steps. Here’s what you can expect during the process:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Before starting Emsella treatment, you must have an initial consultation with a practitioner, as this gives you the chance to talk about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Essentially, this consultation helps determine if Emsella is the right treatment for you.
Step 2: During an Emsella Session
During an Emsella session, you’ll remain fully clothed and sit comfortably on the Emsella chair for 30 minutes. During this time, you’ll experience strong but painless muscle contractions in the pelvic floor area. Commonly, patients describe the sensation as unusual but not uncomfortable.
Step 3: Number of Sessions Required
A standard Emsella treatment plan includes 8 sessions that are spaced over a few weeks. This aims to ensure that you receive optimal results from your treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Emsella Treatment?
Now that you know what the Emsella treatment is and how it works, you’re probably wondering what the advantages are. If you choose to have this treatment, you can expect to experience the following benefits:
- Tighter and stronger pelvic floor muscles that help you regain bladder control
- As a woman, you can experience improved sexual satisfaction and pleasure due to strengthening weak pelvic floor muscles
- You won’t experience any pain during the procedure
- You’ll notice huge improvements after one single session
- Emsella is a non-invasive procedure with no recovery or downtime
- The treatment doesn’t require you to change any clothing
- The treatment is straightforward
- It reduces symptoms of stress incontinence caused by giving birth or menopause
What Makes a Good Candidate for Emsella?
Emsella treatment is suitable for all genders, but certain factors can determine if you’re an ideal candidate for the treatment. Good candidates for Emsella typically include:
- Individuals experiencing stress urinary incontinence or urinary incontinence
- Those with weakened pelvic floor muscles due to childbirth, ageing, or other factors
- People seeking a non-invasive, medication-free treatment option
- Patients looking for an effective solution without downtime or recovery periods
- Men where infections, prostate cancer or stress have impacted incontinence and/or intimate health, such as erectile dysfunction
It’s important to note that Emsella treatment isn’t suitable for everyone, especially if you are pregnant, have metal implants or have certain medical conditions.
This is why being completely open and honest during your consultation is essential. Not only does it save you time and money but it also prevents any feeling of disappointment.
How Much Does Emsella Cost?
The cost of Emsella will depend on how many sessions you need. The average cost per session can vary between £200-£400. You’ll also find that many providers offer package deals.
At Dr Yusra, our treatment pack of eight sessions is priced at £1000. When looking for a provider, you want to choose somewhere that prioritises quality and client care, which is what we pride ourselves on at Dr Yusra.
How Long Does Emsella Treatment Typically Last?
Each singular Emsella session lasts about 30 minutes. The total duration of the treatment plan will depend on the number of sessions recommended by your healthcare provider based on the information discussed during your consultation (the package you opt for).
You may start to notice improvements after the first 2-4 sessions, with optimal results usually seen after completing the full treatment course. The benefits, like higher pelvic floor muscles, can last for several months but will need maintenance at some point.
Are There Any Drawbacks of Emsella Treatment?
While Emsella is generally safe and most individuals do not experience any harsh side effects, there are a few considerations and potential drawbacks to be aware of:
- You may experience side effects like muscle pain, temporary muscle spasms and redness
- It’s not a permanent solution, as it requires maintenance sessions
- You may experience temporary discomfort
- As Emsella requires multiple sessions for optimal results, the cost can be a concern for some individuals
