How It Works
HOW DOES
BTL EMSELLA WORK?
BTL Emsella is an innovative development in the field of pelvic health, changing women’s and men’s lives across the world. Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic, (HIFEM) technology, BTL Emsella is one of the easiest, most relaxing, and non-invasive treatments available to help reduce urinary leakage and dribbles, and free women and men from incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
By the time you come in for a BTL Emsella treatment, you will likely have weak or atrophied muscle support around your pelvic floor. This is what causes many women and men to suffer embarrassing urinary incontinence or decreased sexual satisfaction. Strengthening these muscles, and helping them to become tighter will go a long way in improving the patients’ quality of life.
With BTL Emsella you don’t have to think about whether you are doing it right. Under the direction of your specialist clinic, you need only sit comfortably and wait out the treatment. There is no discomfort and rather than have to work on it every day, or twice a day, you will only need twice-weekly appointments.
WHAT IS INCONTINENCE?
The most common type of incontinence is stress incontinence, which happens when the pelvic floor muscles become weaker. Usually the pelvic floor muscles wrap tightly around the urethra, holding everything together, after childbirth and the menopause, the muscles can become weaker causing incontinence. This means that the muscles don’t wrap so tightly around the urethra and bladder, and can relax at some inconvenient times, leading to embarrassing leaks! Prostate surgery can also result in incontinence in men so here at Estrada Clinic, we help people from all walks of life and having gone through all sorts of trauma with the powerful Emsella Chair treatment.
HOW CAN YOU TREAT
STRESS INCONTINENCE?
A common treatment for stress incontinence is Kegel exercises which gradually strengthen the pelvic floor muscles by regularly tensing and relaxing them. These can be effective, but are time-consuming and difficult, with slow progress, and for women with particularly weak pelvic floor muscles, are often not possible.
Traditionally, Kegel exercises have been recommended as the most effective non-invasive means of improving pelvic floor muscle strength. Unfortunately, it is difficult for many to identify the correct muscles to work on and maintain the necessary focus. Consequently, the success rate with these exercises can vary anywhere between 30-90%. For those with more severe forms of incontinence, Kegels are not helpful.
Certain risks can occur when Kegels are done incorrectly. From further weakening the pelvic floor muscles to tightening so much as to make intercourse painful, there are many ways this approach can go wrong for a patient.
THE TREATMENT PROCESS AT ESTRADA CLINIC
Consultation
The process begins with a consultation during which we will go over medical history and symptoms to determine if this is a suitable treatment for you.
During the Treatment
During your session, all you have to do is take a seat comfortably on the Emsella chair. It is in a private section of the clinic so you can have privacy as you go through the treatment. There isn’t any need to undress or change into a gown, so you can stay in your clothing and remain seated for a 28-minute session. You may experience some tingling but there is no pain or other discomforts. You can bring a book or something to listen to that will keep you occupied for that duration. We do ask that you wear loose clothing such as loose light trousers or skirt so there are no restrictions on your body by clothing whilst the electromagnetic technology performs contractions on you, so please try not to wear jeans or tight trousers. We will discuss issues such as pads in your consultation.
During each session, you will have experienced the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegels. This procedure helps to not only strengthen existing muscles but also build new muscle fibres and stimulate proteins. This also helps to enhance the neuromuscular control of the bladder.
The treatment course we offer is TEN sessions, conducted over the course of FOUR weeks. You should be able to experience some improvement right from your first or second session with the most noticeable difference by the sixth session. Everybody is different and unique so we work with you to achieve the best results possible.
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Treating Stress Incontinence With BTL Emsella
BTL Emsella uses its HIFEM technology to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles without you having to tense consciously. The electromagnetic currents help to trigger muscular contractions, which ‘works out’ the muscles in the same way Kegels would! Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, BTL Emsella stimulates the pelvic floor muscles. This is done much the same way Kegel exercises work, only at a greater intensity, speed and without conscious effort. This technology generates electromagnetic currents which create a magnetic field around the pelvic floor. This field then triggers the contractions that give the muscles an intense workout. Your muscles become stronger and tighter with each session. With BTL Emsella, the muscles are targeted without you having to think about it, meaning it can actually tense your muscles far more than you could on your own. This is called the supramaximal level of contraction, and means the BTL Emsella can deliver the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegel exercises in one treatment. The treatment also triggers the production of new muscle fibres and proteins, to make the muscles stronger and tighter and improve the link between your pelvic floor muscles and the brain, helping you prevent leaks in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
The results of BTL Emsella treatment can be seen as soon as after the first treatment in some women. However, we recommend a minimum course length of ten weekly treatments (preferably two sessions per week) to see optimum results from the treatment, and most people see and feel some results after two or three treatment sessions.
The procedure is not at all painful, and many people bring along friends or family to chat to during treatment. You may also want to bring a book or magazine to read while on the Emsella chair or we can always have a good conversation or two!
Some women feel the tensing and relaxing of the pelvic floor muscles during treatment, but this has been described as a very similar sensation to regular kegel exercises, and isn't uncomfortable.
A single BTL Emsella treatment takes less than half an hour - 28 minutes to be precise!
While some women will feel results after the first treatment, a minimum of 8-10 weekly or bi-weekly sessions is appropriate to feel the optimum results of BTL Emsella. We'll tailor your treatment plan to you and your body to create the most effective results but we offer more treatment sessions than any other clinic for your money. This is because, being the longest standing Emsella clinic in the Northwest, we have over five years experience of women and men's incontinence issues and know that six treatment sessions is not enough for the majority of people. Please keep this in mind when looking for the best clinic for you.
If you are struggling with stress incontinence, BTL Emsella might be the perfect treatment for you.
BTL Emsella can improve the symptoms of stress incontinence caused by menopause or childbirth, as well as other intimate health conditions, including vaginal laxity and difficulty reaching orgasm.
However, if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, have metal plates in your body, such as hip replacements or if you have a copper coil or IUD, then BTL Emsella is not suitable for you, and we can help give you the information you need to choose a different treatment in these cases. You should also remove any intimate piercings before treatment with BTL Emsella, and you cannot use Emsella when on your period as the treatment increases blood flow to the area!
