HEAGER Alfonse® is an innovative development in the field of pelvic health, changing women’s and men’s lives across the world. Using High-Intensity Electromagnetic technology, HEAGER Alfonse® is one of the easiest, most relaxing, and non-invasive treatments available to help reduce urinary leakage and dribbles, and free women and men from incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Weak or atrophied muscle support around pelvic floorcauses many women and men to suffer embarrassing urinary incontinence or decreased sexual satisfaction. Strengthening these muscles, and helping them to become tighter will go a long way in improving the patients’ quality of life. With HEAGER Alfonse®, patient don’t have to think about whether he or she is doing it right, they only sit comfortably and wait out the treatment. There is no discomfort and treatment are over in just 30 mt.

Urinary Incontinence

The most common type of urinary incontinence is stress urinary incontinence, which happens when the pelvic floor muscles become weaker. Usually, the pelvic floor muscles wrap tightly around the urethra, holding everything together, after childbirth and the menopause, the muscles can become weaker causing incontinence. This means that the muscles don’t wrap so tightly around the urethra and bladder, and can relax at some inconvenient times, leading to embarrassing leaks! Prostate surgery can also result in incontinence in men.

Traditional Treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence

A common traditional treatment for stress incontinence is Kegel exercises which gradually strengthen the pelvic floor muscles by regularly tensing and relaxing them. These can be effective, but are time-consuming and difficult, with slow progress, and for women with particularly weak pelvic floor muscles, are often not possible.

Traditionally, Kegel exercises have been recommended as the most effective non-invasive means of improving pelvic floor muscle strength. Unfortunately, it is difficult for many to identify the correct muscles to work on and maintain the necessary focus. Consequently, the success rate with these exercises can vary anywhere between 30-50%. For those with more severe forms of incontinence, Kegels are not helpful.

Certain risks can occur when Kegels are done incorrectly. From further weakening the pelvic floor muscles to tightening so much as to make intercourse painful, there are many ways this approach can go wrong for a patient.

Alfonse® Treatment Procedure

During treatment session, patient has to do is take a seat comfortably on the Alfonse® chair. There isn’t any need to undress or change into a gown, so patient can stay in clothing and remain seated for a 30-minute session. they may experience some tingling but there is no pain or other discomforts.

During each session, patient will have experienced the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegels. This procedure helps to not only strengthen existing muscles but also build new muscle fibres and stimulate proteins. This also helps to enhance the neuromuscular control of the bladder.

The treatment course is eight sessions, conducted over the course of three weeks. Patient should be able to experience some improvement right from first or second session with the most noticeable difference by the sixth session.

How Alfonse® Work

HEAGER Alfonse® uses its High Intensity Electromagnetic waves technology to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles without patient having to tense consciously. The electromagnetic currents help to trigger muscular contractions, which ‘works out’ the muscles in the same way Kegels would! Using High-Intensity Electromagnetic technology, HEAGER Alfonse® stimulates the pelvic floor muscles. This is done much the same way Kegel exercises work, only at a greater intensity, speed and without conscious effort. This technology generates electromagnetic currents which create a magnetic field around the pelvic floor. This field then triggers the contractions that give the muscles an intense workout. Muscles become stronger and tighter with each session. With HEAGER Alfonse® the muscles are targeted without patient having to think about it, meaning it can actually tense muscles far more than patient could on her own. This is called the supramaximal level of contraction, and means the HEAGER Alfonse® can deliver the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegel exercises in one treatment. The treatment also triggers the production of new muscle fibres and proteins, to make the muscles stronger and tighter and improve the link between pelvic floor muscles and the brain, helping prevent leaks in the future.

FAQ

How long is an Alfonse® treatment?

Alfonse® treatment takes 30 minutes. Most patients receive 4-6 treatments, 2-5 days apart.

Patient can arrive in any clothing patient wish, as patient will remain fully dressed throughout the entire Alfonse® procedure.

How long is the recovery, and are there any risks or side effects?

There is no downtime for recovery with Alfonse®, and the treatment is virtually pain-free. Side effects in the treated area may include muscular pain, temporary muscle spasm, temporary joint or tendon pain, local erythema or skin redness.

How fast will I see results?

Patient may observe improvement after a single session. The results will typically continue to improve over the next few weeks.

Following the first treatment, a difference in the affected area can be felt immediately. For best results with Alfonse® can be seen two to four weeks after the recommended 4-6 treatments.

Who is an ideal candidate for Alfonse®?

Alfonse® is a great option for women of any age who desire a solution for urinary incontinence and improvement in their quality of life. Men can also benefit greatly from Alfonse®, treating symptoms or incontinence and improving sexual health.

How does Alfonse® work?

Alfonse® utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions re-educate the muscles of incontinent patients. All patient needs to do is sit upright on the Alfonse® chair for four to six treatments of 30 minutes per session.
