Urinary Incontinence
It is estimated that 1 out of 2 (50%) women experience Urinary Incontinence. This happens to women especially when they cough, laugh or sneeze. Women experience this problem due to either weak pelvic floor muscles or decreased estrogen hormones due to peri/menopause or both.
Among the lifestyles that can reduce this ostracism problem include reducing caffeine intake, pelvic floor muscle exercise or better known as kegel exercise and having a normal body weight.
Apart from that, among the available treatments include the use of a magnetic chair which is almost the same as more than 10 000X kegel exercise or by using laser stimulation or both.
IncontiLase®
IncontiLase® is a patent-pending, non-invasive laser therapy for the treatment of mild and moderate stress urinary incontinence, based on non-ablative photothermal stimulation of collagen neogenesis, shrinking and tightening of vaginal mucosa tissue and collagen-rich endopelvic fascia, and subsequently greater support to the bladder.
StarFormer® Magnetic Chair Treatment
StarFormer® is Fotona’s latest innovation for gynaecology: high intensity Tesla magnetic stimulation (HITS™), enabling fast and easy strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles without effort.
The StarFormer® treatment uses non-invasive, HITS™ technology to selectively target muscle tissues and provide strengthening, toning and firming of the pelvic floor muscles to effectively treat urinary incontinence.
StarFormer® can be used to stimulate both the pelvic floor and back muscles to treat all types of urinary incontinence. During treatment the patient remains clothed and sits on a comfortable chair with built-in applicators in the seat and back of the chair. The magnetic applicators in the chair stimulate muscle contraction in the entire pelvic floor area, leading to increased muscle strength. The result is effective relief of uncontrolled urine flow.
The treatment is gentle and fast, and no patient preparation is needed. The generated magnetic pulses harmlessly pass through the patient’s clothing, skin and bone, reaching otherwise inaccessible tissue. The therapy is non-invasive, painless and with no known side effects.
