Emsella for Incontinence and ED + Mona Lisa Vaginal Revitalization…

By Parveen Vahora, M.D.

Urinary Incontinence
In the past, the primary method for dealing with urinary incontinence has been surgery or therapies that can be both difficult and embarrassing. Today the solution is primarily physical therapy with a urinary incontinence specialist showing the patient how to do vaginal exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This has proven itself to be an effective treatment, however, many women avoid it because of its intimate nature.

There is some great news for those who suffer from urinary incontinence both women AND MEN. Emsella is an FDA-approved device that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor. It is non-surgical and is performed while the patient is fully clothed and seated in a specialized chair.

Emsella has been touted as the “Kegel throne” because each 30-minute treatment is equivalent to doing more than 10,000 Kegels. It contracts the muscles by emitting HIFEM to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor that have become too weak to control urination. Even with physical therapy and being very disciplined in doing Kegel exercises, it would be humanly impossible to mimic this type of treatment and its results.

Proven results can be expected from using Emsella
. According to the company’s website, btlaesthetics.com, Emsella patients report a 95% improvement in their quality of life and a 75% reduction in the use of pads.
. Patients often see results after just one 30-minute session. For maximum results, a minimum of 6 sessions are recommended with a minimum of 2 days between each session. Results will, of course, vary by patient and by the severity of muscle weakness.

Emsella Session Details
It is important to note that patients remain fully clothed during their sessions. That is usually a relief to most patients. Secondly, there is no work involved on the patient’s part, nor the service provider’s once the device has started. The patient simply sits on the “throne” for 30 minutes while HIFEM technology contracts her (or his) muscles 10-11,000 times. Most patients report nothing more than a tingling sensation.

MEN benefit from Emsella also
According to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, about 40% of men are affected by erectile dysfunction at age 40 and 70% of men are affected at age 70. Enter Emsella for men. Emsella has been approved for men suffering from incontinence and erectile dysfunction because of weakening pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support all the pelvic organs and when weakened, they can result in incontinence, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction.

Men will be pleased with the many benefits Emsella affords. The same 30-minute session as the women are sitting through will give them increased bladder control, increased penile rigidity and hardness, increased control over erection, increased time until ejaculation, reduced stress and anxiety, and restored confidence.

Mona Lisa will make you SMILE
The Mona Lisa procedure uses a CO2 laser, much like facial laser treatments used in dermatology offices, to revitalize vaginal tissue and stimulate collagen growth. Dr. Vahora most commonly recommends it for post-menopausal or perimenopausal women. However, it can benefit a wide variety of people, including anyone who is experiencing vaginal itching, irritation, pain with intimacy, vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy, incontinence, and prolapse. New moms and mothers who’ve been breastfeeding for a long time can benefit as well. Since it helps reduce dryness and pain during sex, it can improve couples’ overall sex life, and Dr. Vahora has seen patients report increased libido as well.

MonaLisa Touch® is a treatment, not a procedure. The treatment is done in the office and doesn’t usually require any anesthesia. You’ll experience a vibration, not pain. The treatment is over in a matter of minutes. A small probe is inserted into your vagina. The laser energy emitted from the probe “awakens” your vagina which then starts forming new blood vessels, while increasing both collagen and elastin. These two proteins are what help restore elasticity to your vaginal tissues.

MonaLisa Touch’s major advantage is that it addresses the reasons vaginal atrophy has occurred rather than just addressing the symptoms. It’s longer lasting, non-hormonal, not uncomfortable, has no downtime after the procedure, and only takes three treatments over the course of a few months. It is advised that you refrain from sexual activity for a few days after the treatment.
