Emsella is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence. Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, Emsella stimulates thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions per session, effectively strengthening the muscles responsible for bladder control. This FDA-cleared treatment is performed fully clothed, requires no anesthesia or downtime, and offers a comfortable, discreet solution for both men and women seeking to regain confidence and improve their quality of life.
What to expect during treatment
What to expect during treatment
You will be seated comfortably on the Emsella chair, which is designed to deliver targeted stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles and accommodate a wide range of body types. As the HIFEM technology is applied, you will feel pelvic floor muscle contractions, similar to the ones experienced during Kegel exercises but more frequent and powerful. While the muscle contractions are strong, the treatment itself is not painful, and most patients describe the sensation as unusual but tolerable, requiring no anesthesia or pain medication.
Treatment schedule
Treatment schedule
A typical Emsella treatment plan consists of 6 sessions, scheduled twice weekly for 3 weeks, allowing for optimal muscle stimulation and recovery time between sessions. Each Emsella session lasts approximately 28 minutes, making it easy for patients to fit treatments into their busy schedules. Many patients report noticeable improvements in their urinary incontinence symptoms after just 2-3 sessions; however, optimal results are typically achieved after completing all 6 sessions, as the pelvic floor muscles continue to strengthen over the course of the treatment. While the standard treatment plan involves 6 sessions, our provider may recommend a customized plan based on your individual needs and goals.
Maintaining results
Maintaining results
It’s important to continue engaging in regular pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), which help to keep the pelvic floor muscles strong and maintain bladder control. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption, can also support pelvic floor health and prevent the worsening of urinary incontinence symptoms. Depending on your individual needs, our provider may recommend scheduling maintenance sessions every 3-6 months to reinforce the strength of the pelvic floor muscles and ensure long-lasting results. Our team will work with you to schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments to your maintenance plan as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is an involuntary leak of urine. This leakage is often uncontrollable and can negatively impact the quality of life.
What causes urinary incontinence?
This might be a result of weak pelvic floor muscles since pelvic floor muscles play an important role in supporting pelvic organs and controlling continence. Physiological changes can contribute to the development of urinary incontinence; changes such as vaginal delivery, menopause, and aging can decondition pelvic floor muscles.
What is the protocol for Emsella?
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, with a typical course requiring six sessions scheduled twice a week. Please consult with your provider to create a personalized treatment plan for you.
What does an EMSELLA treatment feel like?
You will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment.
How fast will I see results from EMSELLA treatments?
You may observe improvement after a single session. The results will typically continue to improve over the next few weeks.
