KVINNA is dedicated to educating women about breast health and the importance of early detection. We are committed to providing women the information and services needed for navigating their health and wellness journey. After talking with many of you, I know there are other health challenges you are facing that are often difficult or uncomfortable to talk about – one of which is incontinence. Sure, we may joke about not being able to jump on a trampoline but for many of us, incontinence is affecting our daily lives. Given how common this is for women, it’s surprising that women keep it to themselves since many of their friends and colleagues are suffering too.
How Common is It?
Statistics show that approximately 35% of women worldwide are affected by urinary incontinence, which presents itself in three forms: stress (leakage during physical activity), urge (strong & sudden), and mixed (combination of stress and urge). Incontinence is often a result of child birth and/or the natural aging process, and can have a dramatic effect on a woman’s quality of life. Women often report having to give up exercise and a decrease in self-confidence and intimacy as a result of incontinence.
What Causes it?
Incontinence is actually caused by a weakening of the muscles within the pelvic floor region, often a result of childbirth, menopause and the natural aging process. Although incontinence is extremely common, 5 out of 10 women do not seek help1, according to the National Association for Continence (NAFC), which can have a dramatic effect on a woman’s self-esteem and confidence.
What Can be Done About it?
With incontinence affecting over 19 million women in the KVINNA is excited to provide a breakthrough technology from BTL Industries. We’re thrilled to be able to offer our patients the BTL EMSELLA treatment in our clinic. It offers maximum results with no surgery needed. This is truly revolutionary as up until now, invasive treatments have been the only option to effectively address these serious issues, so we’re delighted to finally have an efficacious treatment solution that is truly non-invasive.
BTL EMSELLA™– the only device available to target a woman’s entire pelvic floor region for the treatment of incontinence . This unique technology revolutionizes the women’s intimate health and wellness category by providing those suffering from incontinence with a completely non-invasive option. The “chair” design of the device itself allows women to remain fully clothed for treatment, with no pain or downtime, so patients can walk out immediately following treatment.
How does Emsella work?
Harnessing the power of HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology, BTL EMSELLA™ stimulates the entire pelvic floor at once—with a single session providing thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions, comparable to thousands of Kegels.
BTL EMSELLA™ stimulates the entire pelvic floor region and musculature by rehabilitating weak pelvic muscles and restoring neuromuscular control. BTL EMSELLA™ is revolutionizing the women’s intimate health and wellness category, by effectively treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, the technology provides women with an easy, effective and completely non-invasive treatment option, empowering them to address an often private health issue that can dramatically impact their quality of life.
A recent clinical study demonstrated that 95% of patients treated reported satisfaction and significant improvement in their quality of life following six treatments with BTL EMSELLA™. Additionally, 67% of treated patients totally eliminated or decreased the use of hygienic pads in day-to-day life.
For optimal results with BTL EMSELLA™, TK PHYSICIAN/PRACTICE recommends a series of six to eight, twice–weekly, 28 minute treatments. Treatment series pricing begins at TK PHYSICIAN/PRACTICE.
