Emsella
The Emsella treatment at QC Medispa is suitable for men and women of any age who are looking for a solution for urinary incontinence and bladder leakage, and want to improve their quality of life. It is also a good option for those who want to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles.
Bladder leaks in women can be caused by vaginal childbirth, aging, and menopause. In men, it can be caused by medical conditions such as an enlarged prostate, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and some types of prostate surgery. Incontinence occurs when the muscles or nerves that control the release or retention of urine are damaged. The two most common types of urinary incontinence are stress urinary incontinence and urge incontinence.
Patients who have a pacemaker, drug pump, cochlear implant, or neurostimulator implanted, or have metal implants near the pelvic area should not receive the Emsella treatment. This is because the treatment uses HIFEM (High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Stimulation) technology. Your suitability for the treatment will be discussed during your initial consultation with the Emsella Technician.
The treatment plan at QC Medispa is tailored to each individual patient. A typical treatment takes about 30 minutes and typically six sessions are needed, scheduled twice a week for three weeks. Additional sessions may be recommended for severe bladder leakage. Many patients report seeing benefits after just one treatment.
The Emsella treatment is non-invasive, and patients remain fully clothed while sitting on the Emsella chair. During the treatment, patients may feel tingling and contracting of their pelvic floor muscles, but it is painless. The treatment room at QC Medispa is private, and patients can choose from a variety of options to keep them entertained during the treatment. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Results may vary from patient to patient. Some patients report an improvement in bladder control after one treatment, while others may see results toward the end of their six sessions or a few weeks after the end of treatment. Research shows that 95% of patients who followed the average protocol reported an improvement in quality of life after three weeks of Emsella, and two-thirds of patients completely eliminated or reduced their need for pads.
The cost of the Emsella treatment varies per patient, depending on the number of sessions in their treatment plan. During the complimentary consultation, Emsella prices will be discussed in detail, and a treatment plan will be customized to meet the patient’s needs and budget. The treatment is affordable and the improvement in quality of life is priceless.
IV Hydration
The duration of the effects of IV hydration therapy can vary depending on the individual, but typically they last for around three to four days. However, in some cases, the effects can last up to two weeks after treatment.
The frequency of IV hydration therapy can vary depending on the individual, but generally, it is recommended to have sessions once to twice a week or at least once every two weeks. However, if you are receiving IV therapy for a specific condition, you should follow the schedule recommended by your doctor.
The goal of IV hydration therapy is to flush the body with clean fluids and improve the function of vital organs. IV therapy helps the liver and kidneys to filter out toxins and eliminate them more efficiently.
Some risks associated with IV hydration include complications from improper administration, such as clotting, inflammation, bloodstream infection, or electrolyte imbalance.
- Improved focus, mental clarity, and concentration
- Enhanced mood and energy levels
- Clearer and healthier-looking skin
- Additional cushioning between muscles and joints
- Improved endurance and cardiovascular health.
IV Ketamine
Ketamine, when used in low doses in a medical setting and with infrequent dosing, has virtually no potential for addiction or abuse, unlike its recreational use as a party drug. Studies and clinical experience have shown this.
Patients will fill out depression and anxiety scales before the first treatment and approximately 24 hours after the second infusion to determine response. The infusion will last for 40 minutes, and it is possible to notice effects as soon as 40 minutes after the infusion, typically starting 2-4 hours later, but sometimes taking up to 24 hours. Patients may begin to feel better within the first few hours following the first treatment, and those with thoughts of suicide and self-harm often notice these thoughts dissipating first. The treatment is provided in a safe, nurturing and healing environment, with the option of having a family member or friend present.
A single infusion typically lasts from a couple of days up to 1-2 weeks. A series of six infusions may last from weeks to months, and a single booster infusion when effects are wearing off can restore response. The number of treatments needed for a positive response varies depending on the individual. It is recommended to have six infusions within the first 2-3 weeks, with maintenance (booster) infusions scheduled to maintain response.
Approximately 70-80% of patients respond to Ketamine infusions. Factors that increase the likelihood of success include exposure to chronic stress, family history of alcoholism, suicidal ideation, increased BMI, anxious depression, cognitive dysfunction, and a Val/Val BDNF gene.
An infusion of Ketamine is more expensive than a typical doctor’s visit and medication. However, when considering the financial toll of ongoing depression symptoms affecting work and social function, as well as multiple office visits and ongoing medication costs, the rapid restoration of life by Ketamine is an excellent value.
Conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, unstable heart disease, increased intracranial or intraocular pressure, interstitial cystitis, active substance abuse, current manic phase of bipolar disorder, active psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions may make ketamine dangerous or ineffective.
The dose used for the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders is very low and safe. For a few minutes during the infusion itself, blood pressure and heart rate may increase, but this is monitored to ensure safety, and medications are administered as necessary to manage problematic increases in blood pressure, episodes of nausea or anxiety.
To maximize the benefits of ketamine, it is important to follow advice such as eating well, exercising, engaging in talk therapy, finding social support, and staying busy. Ketamine rapidly enables patients to be able to act on these important activities, and those who have the best results support the medicine’s effect in these ways. Additionally, ketamine likely “primes” the brain for learning and making new connections, so talk therapy can be an ideal way to “lock in” therapeutic learning and capitalize on this unique window of time.
