Regain Control & Confidence with Emsella
Emsella is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor to reduce urinary incontinence — no surgery, no medication, no downtime. You stay fully clothed and simply sit.
Thousands of Kegels — Without Lifting a Finger
Emsella uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to work the pelvic floor far more deeply than you ever could on your own. A single 28-minute session triggers roughly 11,200 supramaximal contractions — the equivalent of thousands of Kegel exercises — re-educating weakened muscles and restoring the neuromuscular control your bladder depends on.
The best part: you stay fully clothed and simply sit on the Emsella chair. Most people describe the feeling as a gentle tingling and tapping. There's no anesthesia, no recovery, and you can return to your day the moment you stand up.
One Treatment, Many Pelvic Floor Concerns
Your pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel, and sexual function. When it weakens — through childbirth, aging, menopause, or surgery — the effects can show up in very different ways. Because Emsella strengthens the entire muscle group, it can help with a range of related concerns:
Stress incontinence
Leaks when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, or exercise — the most common form of urinary leakage.
Urge incontinence & overactive bladder
The sudden, can't-wait urge to go, frequent bathroom trips, or waking at night to urinate.
Mixed incontinence
A combination of stress and urge symptoms — very common, and often improved by strengthening the same muscles.
Postpartum recovery
Pregnancy and delivery stretch and weaken the pelvic floor. Emsella helps rebuild that support without strain.
Menopause-related changes
Declining estrogen can weaken pelvic tissues and worsen leakage. Emsella targets the underlying muscle tone.
Men's incontinence
Including leakage after prostate surgery. Emsella works the same pelvic floor muscles in men — more on this below.
Sexual wellness & intimacy
A stronger pelvic floor is linked to better blood flow, sensation, and confidence for both women and men.
Core & pelvic floor strengthening
Even without symptoms, many patients use Emsella to proactively strengthen the pelvic floor and core.
Emsella is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Benefits related to sexual wellness and men's health are supported by emerging clinical evidence; individual results vary, and a consultation is the best way to know what's realistic for you.
Not Just for Women
The pelvic floor matters for men, too. Emsella strengthens the very same muscles that control the bladder and support sexual function — which is why men most often turn to it for two reasons: urinary leakage after prostate surgery (post-prostatectomy incontinence) and pelvic-floor-related sexual concerns.
The clinical evidence in men is younger than the incontinence data, but encouraging. In a 2021 comparative study, HIFEM stimulation improved pelvic floor function significantly more than conventional electrostimulation, and early data on erectile function are promising. We'll always be straight with you about what the research does and doesn't yet show.
For women, intimate wellness and pelvic strength go hand in hand — improved blood flow, sensation, and confidence. In the clinical research, some patients reported increased sexual desire as an added benefit of treatment.
Sexual-wellness and erectile applications are areas of emerging evidence and are not all FDA-cleared indications. A consultation will help determine whether Emsella fits your goals.

What the Research Shows
Emsella's HIFEM technology has been evaluated in peer-reviewed clinical research. In a 2019 study of 75 women who completed a six-session course:
- 81% reported significant improvement in their symptoms
- 67% reduced their use of hygienic pads
- About 44% stopped using pads entirely by the three-month follow-up
- Participants reported no pain, no downtime, and no adverse events
Results vary from person to person, and Emsella works best as one part of a plan guided by a medical provider. During your consultation we'll set realistic expectations for your specific situation — no overpromising.
