EMSELLA
Emsella is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence that strengthens the pelvic floor using the same electromagnetic technology behind Emsculpt, just applied to a different muscle group. Patients remain fully clothed and simply sit during treatment, no undressing, no downtime, and no discomfort, while the device delivers the equivalent of thousands of Kegel contractions in a single session. At Genesis Dermatology in Jupiter, FL, Emsella offers a comfortable, effective option for patients dealing with stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence.
What Is Emsella?
Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, delivered through a specially designed chair, to stimulate deep, repeated contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. A single 28-minute session delivers the equivalent of roughly 11,200 Kegel exercises, a level of pelvic floor engagement that’s simply not achievable through voluntary exercise alone.
Over a course of treatment, those repeated contractions help strengthen and re-educate the pelvic floor muscles that support bladder control, addressing the underlying muscle weakness that contributes to stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence.
Am I a Good Candidate for Emsella?
Emsella is most often recommended for women experiencing urinary incontinence related to pelvic floor weakness, a common result of childbirth, menopause, or general aging.
Good Candidates Are Typically
- Experiencing stress incontinence (leaking with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise)
- Experiencing urge incontinence (a sudden, strong need to urinate) or a mix of both
- Looking for a non-surgical option before considering more invasive treatments
- Postpartum or postmenopausal, common life stages when pelvic floor weakness develops
This Treatment May Not Be Right for You If
- You have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device
- You are pregnant
- You have an IUD or other metal implant in the Pelvic region without medical clearance
- You have active pelvic infection or inflammation
What to Expect During Your Emsella Session
There are no undressing and no physical contact involved in Emsella treatment. You simply sit, fully clothed, on the Emsella chair while it delivers electromagnetic pulses to the pelvic floor.
- Each session lasts about 28 minutes
- A typical treatment plan involves 2 sessions per week over 3 weeks (6 total sessions)
- No anesthesia, needles, or recovery time required
- You can return to normal activities immediately after each session
Results and How Long Emsella Lasts
Many patients notice improvement in bladder control within the first few sessions, with continued improvement as the pelvic floor muscles strengthen over the course of treatment. Studies have shown meaningful improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms in a significant portion of patients within about a month of completing treatment. As with any muscle-strengthening treatment, periodic maintenance sessions help sustain results over the long term.
