Emsella (Pelvic Health)
The Emsella chair is a non-invasive medical device that treats urinary incontinence and strengthens the pelvic floor using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology.
It stimulates thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions in a pain-free, fully clothed session, with no downtime. Suitable for both men and women, it offers an effective alternative to surgery for improving bladder control and muscle tone.
Treatment details:
-
The chair uses advanced HIFEM technology to deliver thousands of muscle contractions in a single session, enhancing bladder control and muscle tone.
Treat areas:
Pelvic Floor strengthening
-
Treatment length → 30 minutes.
Sensation → Deep, tingling sensation, followed by intense, involuntary, yet painless pelvic floor muscle contractions.
Onset → The most significant, "peak" results are usually observed 4–6 weeks after completing the full, recommended series of treatments.
Duration → The results are designed to be long-lasting (often 6–12 months or longer).
-
You can return to your daily activities immediately after each session, as there is no downtime required.
Common Side Effects:
Mild tingling or muscle twitching during treatment
Temporary pelvic muscle fatigue or tightness
Slight soreness similar to post-exercise
Uncommon Side Effects:
Light abdominal cramping or bloating
Temporary increase in urinary urgency (resolves quickly)
Discomfort from muscle stimulation (usually resolves with adjustment)
Rare Side Effects:
Nerve irritation or prolonged pelvic sensitivity
Muscle strain (very rare)
Discomfort due to underlying conditions (e.g., IUD, surgical implants—screening required)

Precision requires patience. We invite all our EmSella clients back for a 14-day Follow-Up. This allows us to assess how your muscles have responded.

-
The Emsella chair is a non-invasive medical device designed to treat urinary incontinence and improve pelvic floor muscle strength using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology.
-
The chair generates electromagnetic waves that induce thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions during each session, enhancing muscle tone and bladder control.
-
No, Emsella treatments are pain-free. Patients may feel a tingling sensation and muscle contractions during the session, but it is generally comfortable.
-
A typical treatment course consists of six sessions, scheduled twice a week for three weeks.
However, the exact number of sessions may vary based on individual needs and the healthcare provider’s recommendation.
-
Those that are pregnant, have a pacemaker, metal plates, defibrillator or have any copper coil or IUD – the Mirena Coil is fine as it’s made of plastic. Piercings may need to be removed before treatment.
-
Emsella is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild muscle soreness or a slight tingling sensation, which usually resolves quickly.
-
The duration of results varies among individuals, but many patients experience long-lasting benefits.
Periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the improvements.
