Emsella has become one of the most sought after non-invasive treatments for pelvic floor strengthening and urinary incontinence management. The Emsella chair represents a revolutionary approach to pelvic wellness — offering powerful results without surgery, downtime, or discomfort.
What Is Emsella? – Definition & Purpose
Emsella is an FDA-cleared electromagnetic therapy device designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM). The treatment improves muscle tone and support in the pelvic region, helping with issues such as:
- Urinary incontinence (stress, urge, or mixed)
- Pelvic floor weakness
- Sexual wellness enhancement
- Postpartum recovery
- Bladder control concerns in men and women
Unlike Kegel exercises, which require conscious effort and consistency, the Emsella chair performs thousands of muscle contractions in a single session — resulting in efficient, deep strengthening.
How Does the Emsella Chair Work?
The Emsella chair emits highly focused electromagnetic fields that penetrate deep into the pelvic floor muscles. This causes rapid involuntary contractions — much stronger than what can be achieved through voluntary exercises.
During a session:
- Patients sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair
- A comfortable stimulation begins
- Pelvic floor muscles contract over 11,000 times in ~28 minutes
- The nervous system and muscle fibers are activated and strengthened
This non-surgical neuromuscular stimulation retrains and reinforces muscle control, significantly improving pelvic floor support and bladder function.
Emsella Treatment Benefits
Emsella offers advantages that make it a preferred choice for pelvic wellness:
Non-invasive
No incisions, needles or anesthesia are required.
No downtime
You can resume normal activities immediately after the session.
Comfortable and quick
Sessions typically last around 28 minutes.
Effective results
Many patients report improvement after just 1–3 sessions.
Whole body effect
Strengthens deep, hard-to-reach muscle groups.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsella?
Emsella is ideal for adults seeking improvement in:
- Mild to moderate urinary incontinence
- Decreased pelvic floor tone
- Weak bladder control
- Post-partum pelvic strengthening
- Enhanced sexual response due to better muscle tone
This treatment is safe for both women and men, with specific protocols based on individual needs.
Dr. Mahtab Ziai conducts a custom evaluation before recommending Emsella to ensure suitability.
Emsella vs. Kegel Exercises – What’s the Difference?
| feature | Emsella Chair | Kegel exercises |
| Muscle contractions | ~11,000 per session | Manual, fewer |
| Invasiveness | Non-invasive | Non-invasive |
| Compliance required | Minimal | Requires frequent effort |
| Strength Gains | Rapid | Gradual |
| Time Per Session | ~28 minutes | Ongoing |
In short, Emsella accelerates pelvic strengthening with technology that delivers consistent, measurable results.
Emsella Science & Technology
Emsella uses patented HIFEM electromagnetic technology that:
- Stimulates motor neurons
- Activates pelvic floor muscle groups
- Improves blood flow and muscle responsiveness
- Enhances neuromuscular control
These mechanisms have been studied and validated in clinical trials to support improvement in pelvic floor function and urinary symptoms.
What to Expect During an Emsella Session
Here’s a breakdown of the typical experience:
- You sit fully clothed in the Emsella chair
- The clinician adjusts settings for comfort
- A mild stimulation begins
- You feel rhythmic pelvic contractions
- The session completes in ~28 minutes
Most patients describe the session as “comfortable” and “easy.”
Results & Timeline
Many clients begin to notice changes after 1-3 sessionswith optimal outcomes usually evident after completing the prescribed course.
Most treatment plans consist of:
- 2-3 sessions per week
- 4-6 sessions total
Results are cumulative and often continue improving over the following weeks.
Emsella Aftercare and Tips
Unlike surgical procedures, Emsella requires no special recovery plan. However:
- Maintain adequate hydration
- Perform light pelvic floor exercises
- Follow any guidance from Dr. Mahtob Ziai
Because the treatment is non-invasive, patients can return to work and daily activities immediately.
Emsella Safety & Side Effects
Emsella is FDA-cleared and considered very safe. Minor temporary effects may include:
- Mild muscle soreness
- Slight tingling sensation
- Temporary pelvic awareness
These typically resolve quickly and without intervention.
Who Should Avoid Emsella?
Emsella may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Active infections near the pelvic area
- Implanted electronic devices (eg, pacemakers)
- Pregnancy
- Uncontrolled medical conditions
A full consultation with Dr. Mahtab Ziai will determine candidacy before treatment.
