What is incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary leakage of urine. There are several types of urinary incontinence:

 

1. Stress Incontinence: This occurs when exerted pressure on the bladder causes leakage. It can be triggered by activities such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising.

 

2. Urge Incontinence: This is characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate frequently.

 

3. Mixed Incontinence: This type is a combination of both stress and urge incontinence.

 

4. Overflow Incontinence: This occurs when the bladder does not completely empty when you urinate. Small amounts of urine then leak out, often without any warning or feeling of the need to urinate. It can be caused by nerve damage or an obstruction.

 

5. Transient Incontinence: This is a temporary type of urinary incontinence caused by a medical condition or infection. Once the condition is managed or the infection is treated, the incontinence is typically resolved. Transient incontinence can be triggered by urinary tract infections, medications, medical impairments, restricted mobility, or severe constipation.

 

 

How many treatment sessions will I need?

We understand that every patient is unique, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs.

 

Based on clinical studies and our experience, we typically recommend a course of six Emsella sessions to achieve optimal results. While some patients may see significant improvement after six sessions, others may require up to eight sessions for the desired outcome. The number of sessions required will depend on factors such as age and the severity of your condition.

 

The sessions are scheduled twice a week, 48 hours apart, over a period of three weeks. Each Emsella treatment session typically lasts approximately 30 minutes.

How quickly will I see the results?

Most people begin to see and feel results after just two or three treatment sessions. While mild improvements and sensations may be noticeable after your first session, it typically takes several sessions to observe the full effect on your symptoms.

 

Results vary based on your unique health condition.

How long do the results of the Emsella treatment last? 

How long the effects of your treatment last depends on the severity of your symptoms at the start. Most people will notice a positive effect on symptoms for up to one year or longer, depending on the overall condition of your pelvic floor. Additionally, making other lifestyle changes can help promote longer-lasting results.

What does the procedure feel like? 

Emsella sessions last 28 minutes and are completely non-invasive and pain-free. During treatment, you’ll remain fully clothed while seated comfortably on the Emsella chair.

 

You may feel a tingling or buzzing sensation in the pelvic area as the device stimulates deep muscle contractions. Most people describe the feeling as similar to doing intense Kegel exercises, but without any effort on your part.

 

Some also compare it to sitting on a firm massage chair or a “gentle tapping or pulsing” machine that rhythmically activates the pelvic floor muscles. It can feel unusual at first, but it's generally well tolerated — many clients read or scroll their phone during sessions.

 

Is the Emsella treatment better than Kegel exercises? 

Yes — Emsella is considered significantly more effective than traditional Kegel exercises, thanks to its use of HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology.

 

This advanced technology triggers supramaximal muscle contractions by directly stimulating the neuromuscular tissue in the pelvic floor, reaching even the deepest layers of muscle that are difficult to engage voluntarily. These contractions are far more intense and sustained than what can be achieved through normal exercise, with a single 28-minute session on the Emsella chair being equivalent to performing 11,000 Kegels.

 

As a result, Emsella treatment leads to:

 

  • Deep stimulation and activation of pelvic floor muscles,

  • Restoration of neuromuscular control,

  • Muscle hypertrophy (growth in size) and hyperplasia (increase in muscle fibers), and

  • A comprehensive pelvic floor workout that simply cannot be matched by Kegels alone.

 

This makes Emsella ideal for anyone with pelvic floor weakness due to childbirth, surgery, aging, or difficulty isolating the right muscles — offering results that simply cannot be matched by Kegels alone.

How can Emsella help men? 

Emsella offers significant benefits for men dealing with urinary or bowel incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, or sexual health concerns — whether due to aging, post-prostatectomy recovery, or bowel surgery. The treatment stimulates the pelvic floor muscles deeply and effectively, helping to restore strength, control, and confidence.

 

Many men may not realise that even with regular gym workouts, pelvic floor muscles are difficult to target effectively. Emsella bridges that gap by activating these muscles in a way that conventional exercise cannot. It’s a non-invasive, comfortable solution that supports recovery and long-term pelvic health — improving bladder and bowel control and enhancing sexual function.

 

In particular, by strengthening the pelvic floor, Emsella can also support improvements in erectile function and sensation. For some men, it offers a natural way to boost performance and intimacy without relying solely on medication.

Can Emsella help with intimate health? 

Absolutely — Emsella offers a safe, comfortable, and effective way to improve intimate wellness for both women and men. Over time, factors like aging, hormonal shifts, childbirth, or a lack of regular pelvic floor conditioning can lead to muscle weakening, reduced sensitivity, and even pain or numbness during intimacy.

 

For many women, menopause can bring changes such as vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex, and a loss of muscle tone and elasticity. Emsella works by delivering thousands of powerful pelvic floor contractions in just one session — helping to:

 

  • Boost blood flow to the pelvic area

  • Strengthen and tone key muscle groups

  • Improve sensation and control

  • Restore elasticity and support new collagen production

 

These benefits help ease discomfort, improve arousal and response, and bring a renewed sense of confidence and connection. There’s no pain, no downtime, and no awkward recovery — just a relaxing session where your body does the work naturally.

 

Whether you are navigating post-childbirth changes, menopause, or simply want to feel more confident and connected, Emsella can help you restore comfort, function, and vitality — without medication or invasive procedures.

Why Emsella is essential for maintenance - even if you have no symptoms? 

Pelvic floor health is not just something to think about when problems arise — it is an essential part of long-term wellbeing. Even if you are not currently experiencing bladder or bowel issues, Emsella is an excellent tool for preventative care and ongoing maintenance.

 

As we age, lead more sedentary lifestyles, or go through hormonal changes, the pelvic floor naturally weakens — often before any noticeable symptoms appear. Regular Emsella sessions help keep these muscles strong and responsive, supporting:

 

  • Core stability and posture

  • Bladder and bowel control

  • Sexual function and sensitivity

  • Confidence and quality of life

 

Think of it as part of your wellness routine — just like going to the gym or getting regular checkups. Emsella is for everyone looking to stay ahead of potential issues and invest in their long-term health.
