Welcome EMSELLA to CCSD 

Published by CCSD Marketing Team

CCSD is happy to present our latest device. Welcome EMSELLA! This unique technology revolutionizes the intimate health and wellness category by providing those suffering from incontinence with a completely non-invasive option. Stress incontinence is when there is exerted pressure on the bladder causing leakage. This can be caused by coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising. EMSELLA utilizes HIFEM electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session, that you would not be able to do on your own. This treatment can be beneficial for both men & women.  

EMSELLA consists of 6, 30-min treatments, performed twice a week. Some patients notice improvement after a single session, with results typically continuing to improve over the following weeks after the final treatment. Studies confirm 95% of patients report an improved quality of life!  

CCSD now offers the Core to Floor experience. This therapy utilizes two HIFEM devices, EMSCULPT NEO and EMSELLA to strengthen, firm and tone the abdomen and pelvic floor muscles. This combination therapy improves neuromuscular control, strength, balance, intimacy, and vitality. It’s a fantastic solution for women and men of all ages including athletes, women who have been pregnant, and people who want to maintain or regain quality of life. 

If you’re interested in a consultation, call our office at 312-245-9965 opt 2.
