URINARY incontinence and pelvic floor weakness are far more common than many people realise, affecting both women and men at various stages of life.
For women in particular, factors such as childbirth, menopause, high impact sports and natural ageing can significantly weaken the pelvic floor muscles, often leading to uncomfortable and sometimes distressing symptoms like urine leakage and even reduced sexual satisfaction.
In response to these challenges, a new non invasive treatment has emerged that is changing how pelvic health is managed, the BTL EMSELLA chair.
Understanding the Problem
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports key organs including the bladder and uterus, while also playing a crucial role in maintaining continence.
When these muscles weaken or become deconditioned, everyday actions such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising can result in involuntary urine leakage. In some cases, individuals may also experience a sudden and urgent need to urinate, or changes in intimate health and sensation.
Traditional approaches to strengthening the pelvic floor such as Kegel exercises can be effective, but they require consistency, correct technique, and time. Many people struggle to perform them properly or maintain a routine long enough to see meaningful results.
How EMSELLA Works
The BTL EMSELLA chair offers a modern alternative. Using High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, it stimulates the pelvic floor muscles far more intensively than voluntary exercise alone can achieve.
During a single 28 minute session, the chair induces thousands of supra maximal muscle contractions equivalent to performing around 11,000 Kegel exercises. These contractions help retrain and strengthen the entire pelvic floor, including muscles that are difficult to activate consciously.
One of the key advantages of this treatment is its simplicity. Patients remain fully clothed while seated comfortably on the chair, experiencing only a mild tingling sensation as the technology works. There is no pain, no medication involved, and no recovery time required.
A Convenient and Effective Treatment
A typical course of treatment consists of six sessions over a three week period. Many patients begin to notice improvements after just two or three sessions, with results continuing to build over time.
The convenience of the procedure is a major factor in its appeal. Sessions are quick, require no preparation, and allow patients to return immediately to their normal daily activities.
Benefits Beyond Bladder Control
While EMSELLA is widely recognised for its effectiveness in improving bladder control, its benefits extend further. Strengthening the pelvic floor can also enhance sexual function in women, improving both sensitivity and the ability to achieve orgasm.
Additionally, the treatment is suitable for both men and women, making it a versatile option for addressing a range of pelvic health concerns.
Who Can Benefit?
EMSELLA may be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing:
- Stress incontinence linked to childbirth or menopause
- Leakage during physical activity or sudden movements
- Frequent or urgent need to urinate
- Reduced pelvic floor strength due to ageing
- Intimate health concerns
It has also shown positive results in men dealing with bladder control issues, including those recovering from prostate-related treatments.
Real Patient Outcomes
Studies show that users experience up to 68% improvement in urinary incontinence within a year, 64% fewer nighttime disruptions and reduced reliance on pads. Beyond bladder health, 76% of people report enhanced sexual satisfaction.
A Step Forward in Quality of Life
Ultimately, the BTL EMSELLA chair represents a significant advancement in non-invasive pelvic health treatment. By addressing the root cause of incontinence and muscle weakness, it offers patients a practical and dignified solution helping restore confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life.
For those seeking an alternative to traditional exercises or more invasive procedures, EMSELLA provides a compelling option that fits seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
