Emsella
When Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella Becomes the Answer
From quiet frustration to confidence
Pelvic floor weakness is one of the most common, and most under-discussed, concerns in adult life. Patients describe planning routes around bathrooms, avoiding trampolines and double-dutch with the kids, leaking on the run or during a sneeze, waking through the night to urinate, or noticing that intimacy simply does not feel the same. After childbirth or menopause, these changes can feel like a permanent loss. They are not. They are a muscle problem, and muscles can be retrained.
The BTL Emsella chair uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to trigger thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in a single 28-minute session, the equivalent of approximately 11,200 Kegels. You sit fully clothed on a comfortable chair while the device strengthens the deep pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder, urethra and pelvic organs. For many of our Auburndale patients, the result is fewer leaks, better bladder control, stronger orgasm and renewed confidence in everyday movement.

What Is Emsella?
HIFEM electromagnetic stimulation
Emsella is a non-invasive pelvic floor therapy device manufactured by BTL Aesthetics that is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence and improvement of quality of life in adult women. The device is also widely used for sexual wellness support, post-pregnancy pelvic recovery, and pelvic floor strengthening in men experiencing erectile dysfunction symptoms or post-prostatectomy weakness.
The technology behind Emsella is High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic stimulation, or HIFEM. While you sit fully clothed in the comfortable chair, the device generates a focused electromagnetic field that penetrates the entire pelvic floor and triggers supramaximal contractions, the kind of deep, simultaneous muscle activation that voluntary Kegels cannot reliably reproduce. A single 28-minute session delivers the equivalent of approximately 11,200 pelvic floor contractions, retraining the muscles that stabilize the bladder, urethra and pelvic organs. Emsella was developed by BTL Aesthetics, the same company behind Emsculpt Neo and Emface.
If you are exploring root-cause options, our hormone replacement therapy program often pairs well with Emsella for postmenopausal women, and pelvic floor therapy is a foundational treatment we recommend for urinary incontinence and sexual wellness concerns.

Side Effects and Safety
What to know
Emsella is well tolerated for the vast majority of properly screened patients. Most reported sensations are mild, expected and resolve quickly after the session ends.
Common, mild and self-limiting effects include a tingling or muscle-tapping sensation during the contractions, brief mild muscle soreness in the pelvic floor or buttocks for 24 to 48 hours, transient warmth in the seat area, and a feeling of pelvic fatigue similar to a strong workout. These are signs that the deep pelvic floor muscles are being engaged. Most patients describe the experience as unusual at first, then comfortable.
Rare or unexpected effects include skin irritation at contact points, brief bladder discomfort if a session is performed with a full bladder, or worsening of symptoms in patients with undiagnosed pelvic infection. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Emsella holds 510(k) clearance with a strong safety profile for treating urinary incontinence in women, which is why we screen carefully for contraindications, including pacemakers, metal implants, IUDs, pregnancy and active pelvic infection. Please tell Erin immediately if you experience pelvic pain, new bleeding, fever or any unexpected symptom during your course.
