“We want every woman to feel really strong and healthy, about themselves, and feel as strong as a mother.”
Ciara Ramsden, founder and co-owner of Flirt Cosmetics Studio, is proud to educate women about one of their most popular treatments: the Emsella chair. This groundbreaking non-surgical device uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology (HIFEM) to stimulate and strengthen pelvic floor muscle, all while clients remain fully clothed.
“It is really hard being a mom, and muscle is medicine. We want every mom to feel like they have that strong pelvic floor that they had prior to childbirth.”
Emsella is Health Canada-approved for the treatment of stress and urge urinary incontinence and is designed to support pelvic floor health in both women and men.
“It’s for the treatment of urinary incontinence, but it also addresses sexual health,” Ramsden explains. “[A treatment] is 28 minutes long, and it provides stimulation that is similar to 11,200 Kegels in 28 minutes. Your typical treatment protocol is six treatments, and that builds the muscle in the pelvic floor.”
Clients often report that the results are nothing short of life-changing.
“They feel so much more confident. They feel so much stronger. They feel like they can go through their day without having to worry. They’re getting full night sleep because they’re not having to wake up every few hours to go to the bathroom. They can run around after the kids, get on the trampoline, laugh, cough, do all that stuff and feel, a lot better.”
The treatment is backed by over 15 peer reviewed clinical studies which have been published in multiple reputable medical journals. BTL, the makers of Emsella report 95 per cent of treated patients report improved quality of life and 75 per cent report reduced or eliminated use of incontinence pads after a full course of treatments.
“Not only does it make the pelvic floor stronger, but it also brings a ton of blood flow to the area,” Ramsden says. “It just does so much for sexual health, both for men and women. For men, it actually helps significantly with erectile dysfunction as well.”
In Celebration of the Strong as a Mother Campaign we are unlocking exclusive added value with every treatment package purchased in the month of May.
Ramsden notes that the treatment may be eligible for coverage through workplace health spending accounts. Prior to treatment, each client will be assessed by either a Nurse Practitioner, or a Registered Nurse at Flirt to ensure suitability. This includes a health screening questionnaire focused on urinary and sexual wellness.
“We can provide a prescription for Emsella, which you can then put into your benefits,” Ramsden elaborates. “We don’t do direct billing, but some benefits will cover it. You can use your health spending account towards it often as well, and if not, you can save your receipts, and they can go towards medical expenses at the end of the year in your taxes.”
