Uncontrolled urine loss is a major burden for those affected and reduces their quality of life. Stress incontinence can become particularly noticeable when laughing, coughing or sneezing, as well as during physical exertion. The BTL Emsella® chair offers an innovative treatment method: with the help of electromagnetic waves, it acts directly on the pelvic floor muscles and stimulates them, causing the muscles to contract and thus be trained. As a result, the pelvic floor is strengthened, which in turn has a positive effect. In this way, intimate discomfort and bladder weakness can be treated. Sexual sensation can also be improved by non-surgical treatment.
We are the first practice in the Berlin area to offer this innovative procedure. On this page you will find more information about BTL Emsella® in Berlin. In our practice, our trained team will be happy to assist you if you have any questions about the BTL Emsella® chair or would like a personal consultation and treatment.
The name Emsella is made up of the abbreviation EM for electromagnetic and the Latin word sella (chair). The mode of action of the therapy is based on the generation of a strong, focused electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic waves that the chair emits to the tissue and muscles of the person sitting on it cause a muscle contraction. The procedure is safe and there are no unpleasant side effects. By stimulating the pelvic floor, tissue and muscles are specifically tightened and strengthened.
The non-invasive treatment is uncomplicated, quick and comfortable. The therapy takes place directly in our practice in Berlin. The BTL Emsella® chair is located in our practice rooms and offers discreet treatment. You simply take a seat on the chair. It is not necessary for you to undress. You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment and sit relaxed on the BTL Emsella® chair. The treatment itself is hardly noticeable. Some patients report a slight, not unpleasant vibration or a faint tingling sensation. A treatment session takes about 30 minutes in total.
Treatment with the BTL Emsella® does not place any strain on the body. Since the therapy is carried out completely without anesthesia and without invasive steps, no subsequent restrictions are to be expected. Patients can leave our practice immediately after the treatment and return to their normal daily routine. Special aftercare measures are also not necessary. You do not have to take it easy or follow any special rules of conduct. This is why the treatment is also known as the walk-in walk-out procedure: You come to our practice and after around 30 minutes you can go about your everyday life again.
Tightening the pelvic floor muscles with the BTL Emsella® is like targeted training. Just as with sport, regular repetition is therefore necessary to achieve the desired effect. The first results can often be seen after the first application. For noticeable results and a greater sense of well-being, we recommend six sessions to our patients. There is a break of a few days between the individual applications. There are usually two sessions per week. The final result can be expected after about three months. In order to maintain the positive effects of the BTL Emsella® treatment, we advise our patients to refresh the therapy every few months following the six sessions. The intervals can vary from person to person and are determined in a personal consultation.
We are delighted to be the first provider in the Berlin region to be able to offer our patients therapy with the BTL Emsella®. If you suffer from bladder weakness, stress or stress incontinence and therefore do not feel completely comfortable in your body, we will be happy to advise you personally on the medical options available to you. You can easily make an appointment for a non-binding consultation with our practice team. You can reach us by calling 030 34 34 70 70, by sending an e-mail to termin@hautzentrum-weissensee.de or by making an appointment online.
Treatment with the BTL Emsella® is aimed at anyone who suffers from a weak pelvic floor. The aim of the treatment is to strengthen the muscles and the core of the body. This not only alleviates any bladder weakness, but also improves general performance and individual well-being. In addition, problems and restrictions relating to sexual sensation can be reduced.
The two main groups for whom the treatment is particularly interesting are women after childbirth and women after the menopause. The BTL Emsella® procedure can also be used during breastfeeding. The first treatment can take place around eight to ten weeks after the birth of the child in order to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and support the postnatal exercises. As the body often undergoes major changes during pregnancy, many women look for various treatment options and measures after the birth of their child to get their after-baby body back into shape and refresh their appearance. The procedures are also known as a mommy makeover.
There are various causes that can lead to weakened pelvic floor muscles. In addition to the natural ageing process, the main influencing factors are births and the menopause.
No. Although women are more frequently affected by problems such as stress or stress incontinence, treatment with the BTL Emsella® can also be of interest to men. Professional athletes in particular are increasingly integrating this non-invasive method into their training plan to strengthen their core and thus boost their performance and endurance.
Therapy with the BTL Emsella® chair is considered to be extremely gentle. No negative side effects or risks are known. Only a slight tingling sensation or weak vibrations can be felt during the treatment – these are not usually perceived as unpleasant by patients.
The BTL Emsella® has been tested and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for tightening the pelvic floor and for incontinence treatment. The method has been used successfully in the USA since 2018 and is now gradually gaining traction in Germany.
The cost of treatment depends on the number of sessions required. They can therefore vary from patient to patient. During a personal consultation in our practice in Berlin, we will be happy to provide you with information about the cost of BTL Emsella® therapy for you.
No, you sit relaxed and fully clothed on the BTL Emsella® chair during the treatment. You can simply relax, listen to music or read as you wish. Only the use of electronic devices such as tablets or cell phones should be avoided during treatment. The BTL Emsella® treatment is therefore perfect as a lunchtime treatment.
So-called EMS training (electro-muscle stimulation training) is offered by various studios and is intended to be an attractive alternative to the traditional gym. Using a special suit, the different muscle groups are trained in a 20 to 30-minute workout. Exercises must be carried out under the guidance of trained trainers. The BTL Emsella®, on the other hand, achieves supramaximal contraction of the muscles without movement. One treatment with the BTL Emsella® leads to 11,000 muscle contractions and you sit relaxed on the special chair.
