Imagine feeling confident and in control, without worrying about sudden urges or unexpected leaks. Whether you’re laughing with friends, exercising, or enjoying a night out, a strong pelvic floor is key to living life without interruptions. Emsella offers a groundbreaking, non-invasive solution to enhance bladder control and pelvic health—effortlessly.
What is an Overactive Bladder?
An overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition that causes frequent, sudden urges to urinate, often leading to involuntary leakage (urge incontinence). It occurs when the bladder muscles contract too often or too strongly, even when the bladder isn’t full. OAB can be influenced by factors such as aging, hormonal changes, childbirth, obesity, or nerve-related conditions. While it’s common, it’s not something you have to live with—treatments like Emsella can help strengthen the pelvic floor and restore bladder control, allowing you to regain confidence and freedom in daily life.
What is Emsella?
Emsella is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate and strengthen pelvic floor muscles. A single session induces thousands of supramaximal contractions—far beyond what traditional Kegel exercises can achieve. These contractions retrain the pelvic floor, helping to restore control over bladder function and reduce symptoms of urgency, leakage, and more.
How Emsella Helps with Overactive Bladder
Many people suffering from OAB experience frequent urges to urinate, accidental leakage when coughing or laughing, and disrupted sleep due to nighttime trips to the bathroom. Emsella works by strengthening weakened pelvic floor muscles, which play a crucial role in supporting the bladder and preventing involuntary leaks. By rebuilding muscle strength, Emsella helps improve bladder control and restores confidence.
Benefits of Emsella Overactive Bladder Treatment
- Non-invasive & painless – Patients remain fully clothed during treatment.
- No downtime – Resume daily activities immediately after your session.
- Effective for both women and men – Emsella helps treat pelvic floor dysfunction in all genders.
- Fast results – Many patients notice improvements after just one session, with optimal results after a full treatment plan.
What to Expect During an Emsella Session
Each 30-minute session is simple and comfortable. Patients sit on the specialized Emsella chair, which delivers targeted electromagnetic pulses to the pelvic floor muscles. While some describe a tingling sensation or mild muscle contractions, there is no pain. Most treatment plans involve six sessions over three weeks, with noticeable improvements in bladder control within a few weeks.
Other Uses for Emsella
While Emsella is widely known for treating overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, its benefits extend beyond bladder control. The HIFEM technology used in Emsella strengthens the entire pelvic floor, making it an effective treatment for postpartum recovery, pelvic organ prolapse, and even sexual wellness. By improving muscle tone and circulation, Emsella can enhance core stability, reduce lower back pain, and help both men and women regain confidence in intimate health. Men can also benefit from Emsella, as it has been shown to help with erectile dysfunction (ED) and post-prostatectomy recovery. This non-invasive treatment offers a holistic approach to pelvic health, improving overall comfort, strength, and quality of life.
