Emsella is used for the treatment of urinary incontinence, as well as other urinary and pelvic floor concerns, such as bladder control, urgency, frequency, leaks when you laugh, sneeze, cough or exercise, pelvic floor weakness after childbirth, during perimenopause and menopause or with age, and pelvic floor strengthening. It is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence; it is not FDA-cleared for sexual function or other conditions. Results vary.

Yes. Emsella is an FDA-cleared device (FDA clearance is different from FDA approval). It is cleared for electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles to rehabilitate weak pelvic muscles and restore neuromuscular control for the treatment of male and female urinary incontinence.

The 2019 clinical study included women with stress incontinence (leaks with coughing, laughing or exercise), urge incontinence (sudden, strong need to go) and mixed incontinence. The largest average improvement in that study was in mixed incontinence, at about 70%. New, worsening or painful bladder symptoms should be evaluated by a physician first.

Emsella uses HIFEM technology to produce thousands of Kegel-like pelvic floor contractions in a single session, without you having to perform them. Kegels and pelvic floor physical therapy are still valuable, and many women use them alongside Emsella.

Emsella is not used during pregnancy. After delivery, wait until your own OB/GYN has cleared you, which is usually discussed at your postpartum checkup. BTL reports that 59% of postpartum women have decreased pelvic floor strength.

Many women notice more leaks or urgency in perimenopause and menopause, when falling estrogen and age affect the muscles and tissues that support the bladder. Emsella strengthens the pelvic floor muscles and is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence, so it can be an option at any stage of life. It is not hormone therapy and does not treat other menopause symptoms. Results vary.

Possibly. Our Post-Op Pelvic Floor Recovery package requires written clearance from your surgeon before your first session.

In the 2019 study, average symptom scores were still improving at the 3-month follow-up, and BTL reports a 68% improvement in incontinence symptoms at 6 months. Results vary, and some women choose periodic maintenance sessions.

No. Emsella is FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence, not for sexual dysfunction. Many women value a stronger pelvic floor as part of their overall intimate wellness. If you have concerns about sexual health, pain or arousal, please see a physician: call Midland Women’s Clinic at (432) 699-2370.

Emsella is not performed during pregnancy or for people with electronic implants such as pacemakers, or metal implants in or near the treatment area. See the full contraindications list on our medical disclaimer page.
