Being overweight is not only unpleasant, but in many cases, is dangerous to one’s health and life span. The reason men have excess weight is often multifactorial, and in many cases, reaching your goals involves more than just “needing to go on a diet”. The primary...
When you’re sitting at work, or at the grocery store, or in the park, look to your left, then look to your right. Chances are, at least one of you is trying to lose weight. In North America alone, around 44% of people are actively looking to shed pounds. The global...
We talked recently about heart health and how we can help analyze patients’ cardiovascular risk. But for women, it’s especially important to understand how aging, and menopause specifically, can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a cardiovascular...
You’ve heard of cardiovascular disease (CVD), you likely know someone with it, but do you know your own risk of CVD? “Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year” and unfortunately,...
When talking to women about hormone replacement therapy, the most common question I get is, “Is it safe?” I applaud this question. We should be highly cognizant of what we put into our bodies, and we should be asking if it’s safe. From the foods we eat to the...
We are excited to introduce the arrival of an innovative new treatment for both women and men looking to improve sexual function, sexual response, libido and urinary incontinence: BTL EMSELLA.
Not surprisingly, a large number of patients we see have questions or concerns about their sexual health or intimate regions. While hormonal imbalances often play a role in sexual wellness, there are a variety of other factors to consider as well. Decreased pelvic floor muscle strength, vaginal laxity, decreased blood flow (ED) and other issues can all negatively influence sexual wellness. What’s more, it’s estimated that 1 in 4 women and millions of men in the U.S. suffer from urinary incontinence, diminishing people’s confidence and their feeling of control.
Our newest technology acquisition BTL EMSELLA is a breakthrough solution that uses High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate muscles in the pelvic floor—building muscle strength, increasing blood flow (men), improving sexual function and response, decreasing urinary incontinence and improving patients’ overall quality of life. This non-invasive, walk-in/walk-out procedure is performed with no drugs, no downtime and no undressing.
Not everyone is open about wanting to optimize their sexual wellness, but aside from its own obvious benefits, sexual health actually plays a very important part in our overall wellbeing. Studies show that “for men and women, satisfaction with different aspects of sex was important, and was strongly associated with satisfaction with general health, relationships and other aspects of wellbeing.” The majority of women surveyed about the impact of personal sexual wellness on other areas of life “believed that feeling fulfilled positively impacted how they showed up in other areas of their lives.”
With 95% of BTL EMSELLA patients reporting significant improvement in their quality of life, you can understand why we’re thrilled to now be offering this to our patients.
The first part of optimizing your wellness begins with getting a detailed understanding of your concerns. Depending on your individual needs, our team will work with you to determine what treatment plan is best. And often, a combination of treatments can provide even better results.
If you’re interested in seeing whether BTL EMSELLA might be right for you or are ready to schedule your first treatment, contact us today.
