About Emsella Chair
1. What is the Emsella Chair?
Emsella is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. It’s especially effective for treating urinary incontinence and improving intimate wellness in both women and men.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Emsella for?
Emsella is ideal for individuals who experience:
- Stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence
- Leaking when coughing, sneezing, or laughing
- Frequent or urgent bathroom visits
- Weak pelvic floor muscles (postpartum, menopause, aging)
- Decreased intimate sensation or satisfaction
How does Emsella work?
While you sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair, it emits thousands of supramaximal contractions to your pelvic floor muscles—equivalent to doing over 11,000 Kegel exercises in a single 28-minute session. This retrains and strengthens the muscles that control bladder and pelvic function.
Is the treatment painful?
No. Emsella is completely non-invasive and pain-free. Most patients describe the sensation as tingling or muscle vibrations. You can sit back, relax, and even read a book during the session.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical treatment plan includes six sessions, scheduled twice a week for three weeks. However, your provider will customize a plan based on your specific needs.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement after just one or two sessions. Optimal results typically appear a few weeks after completing the full treatment course as the muscles continue to strengthen.
