Urinary incontinence is a common but often unspoken condition that affects millions of women and men. Whether it’s triggered by age, childbirth, menopause, or even certain lifestyle factors, the result is often the same: embarrassment, frustration, and a reduced quality of life. If you find yourself hesitating to laugh, sneeze, or exercise out of fear of leakage, you're not alone—and you don't have to live that way.
At CGO Med Aesthetics in San Diego, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident and in control of their body. That’s why we offer Emsella, a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence that strengthens the pelvic floor without surgery or downtime.
What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. It can range from occasional leaks to a complete inability to control urination. While it’s extremely common—affecting over 25 million Americans—it is not a normal or inevitable part of aging, and it is treatable.
There are several types of urinary incontinence:
- Stress Incontinence: Leakage caused by physical movement or pressure such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising.
- Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine.
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
- Overflow Incontinence: The bladder doesn’t empty properly, leading to dribbling or frequent urination.
- Functional Incontinence: Caused by physical or cognitive impairments that prevent a person from getting to the bathroom in time.
What Causes Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence can affect both women and men, and it often stems from weakness in the pelvic floor muscles—the muscles that support your bladder and other pelvic organs.
Some common causes include:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Menopause
- Prostate issues (in men)
- Aging and loss of muscle tone
- Obesity
- Chronic coughing
- High-impact exercise
- Neurological conditions
While lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels), and medications can help, many people find those solutions insufficient. That’s where Emsella comes in.
What Is Emsella?
Emsella is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles. Each 28-minute session is the equivalent of doing 11,000 Kegel exercises—something that’s virtually impossible to replicate through voluntary effort alone.
The best part? You remain fully clothed during the procedure and can return to your normal activities immediately afterward. It's painless, efficient, and has helped countless patients regain confidence and control.
How Does It Work?
As you sit comfortably on the Emsella chair, focused electromagnetic energy triggers thousands of supramaximal contractions in your pelvic floor muscles. These contractions retrain the muscles that support the bladder and control continence. Over a series of treatments—typically about six sessions over three weeks—patients report significant improvements in bladder control and a reduction in leakage episodes.
Emsella works for both stress urinary incontinence (caused by pressure from coughing, sneezing, or exercising) and urge incontinence (the sudden, intense urge to urinate). It’s also a powerful preventative option for individuals at risk of pelvic floor weakening.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Emsella is ideal for:
- Women post-childbirth or during menopause
- Men experiencing bladder leakage or reduced pelvic strength
- Anyone looking for a non-invasive alternative to medication or surgery
- Patients who want to enhance their core stability and pelvic health
Because it’s non-invasive and doesn’t require recovery time, Emsella fits seamlessly into busy lifestyles. Most people notice an improvement after just one session, with results continuing to improve throughout the treatment plan.
