Stress Incontinence Treatment Benefits
Control
Better control begins where it matters most—at the source. Urethral bulking boosts bladder control by reinforcing your urethra.
Confidence
Leave behind the fear of leaks. Urethral bulking gives you the quiet confidence to move through life without backup plans.
Activities
Enjoy your active lifestyle without compromises. This quick treatment keeps you dry through sprints, squats, and spontaneous fun.
Consultation
Our consultations are the beginning of a personalized care journey. Your Younique provider will listen closely, explore your concerns, and review your medical background. Together, you’ll decide if urethral bulking is the best stress incontinence treatment in Santa Monica to help restore your control and confidence.
Procedure
Before the procedure begins, your Younique provider will apply a local anesthetic to numb the area and keep you comfortable. Once you’re ready, they’ll gently insert a tiny scope into the urethra and inject the bulking agent into precise spots along the urethral wall. This helps your muscles create a tighter seal, making it easier to hold back urine when pressure is applied.
Recovery
After your treatment, you’ll stay in the office for a short time until you can comfortably pass urine. Mild swelling or trouble emptying your bladder may occur, but this usually fades within 48 hours. To support proper healing, avoid heavy lifting and intense activity for 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients feel relief and renewed freedom quickly.

The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Can urethral bulking be combined with other treatments for better results?
Urethral bulking is a powerful standalone option, but it also complements a wide range of supportive therapies. Many patients benefit from laser-based vaginal rejuvenation or pelvic floor muscle stimulation as part of a comprehensive plan. These combinations strengthen the tissue and muscles around the bladder, supporting long-term continence. Our team will help you build a personalized plan that works with your lifestyle, body, and wellness goals. Holistic care is at the heart of how we treat stress incontinence in Santa Monica.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for this treatment?
If you experience leaks when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or work out—and it’s impacting your daily confidence—you may be a strong candidate. Urethral bulking is ideal for those with mild-to-moderate stress urinary incontinence, especially if you prefer nonsurgical solutions.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your history, symptoms, and may also recommend related options like our sexual wellness treatments. We take pride in helping patients at every stage of life regain control through personalized stress incontinence treatment in Santa Monica.
