Emsella Just Got Sexier!

Emsella is ArtMed’s high frequency electromagnetic chair that provides a treatment option to individuals suffering from stress and urge incontinence.  This non-invasive painless procedure has delivered real results for thousands of people suffering from incontinence worldwide.  

Many patients treated with Emsella have noted a positive side effect – in improvement in sexual function! 

Now Health Canada has made it official – Emsella is now indicated for sexual wellness. This is not a side effect, it’s a treatment indication! 

Prior to my work in aesthetic medicine, I worked for Public Health including for several decades in their sexual and reproductive health clinics.  I was a organizor, contributor and presentor at University of Guelph’s annual sexual health conference, a leading international conference for this field. Sexual and reproductive health is a long-standing area of interest for me, so sharing this Health Canada indication for the Emsella is particularly gratifying.  

What’s particularly wonderful, is that Emsella can also provide improvements in sexual well-being for older adults – a common concern that is often underrepresented in medical research with few treatment options. 

So how does Emsella work? 

The BTL Emsella provides entirely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles for the purpose of rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control. Emsella is 7X more effective compared to pelvic floor muscle training and 3X more effective than electrical stimulation. 

 When in comes to incontinence research shows a: 

• 64% improvement in urinary incontinence at 3 months 

• 68% improvement in UI at 12 months 

• 64% improvement in night waking to urinate. 

When it comes to intimate wellness research shows a: 

• 62% improvement in orgasm  

• 51% overall improvement in sexual dysfunction 

• 37% improvement in maintaining erection in male patients 

While Emsella is not covered by OHIP, it may be covered by third party health spending accounts and can be claimed as a medical expense at tax season. 

We’ve been providing treatment with Emsella at ArtMed for over 5 years and during that time we’ve become experts at tailoring settings and treatment sessions to optimize individual results. Our most popular Emsella treatment plan is a one-year unlimited use membership.
