Can Emsella help if I leak when I cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise?

Those symptoms are commonly associated with stress urinary incontinence. If that sounds like you, Emsella may be worth discussing during a consultation.

Can Emsella help if I feel a sudden urge to urinate and sometimes leak before I get to the bathroom?

That pattern can be part of urge incontinence, and some patients also have mixed incontinence. A consultation should review which symptom pattern you are having before treatment is recommended.

Do I need to undress for Emsella?

No. Emsella is a fully clothed treatment. There are no probes, no needles, and no required recovery time.

What does Emsella feel like?

Patients usually describe the treatment as tingling and pelvic floor muscle contractions during the session. Most return to normal activity immediately afterward.

Is there downtime after Emsella?

No. Emsella is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime.

Who should not use Emsella?

BTL states treatment should not be applied if you have electronic or metal implants. A consultation is required to review candidacy and contraindications.

Yes. The FDA-cleared indication describes Emsella for male and female urinary incontinence.

When everyday leaks start changing your routine

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, and it can show up in more than one way. Some people leak when they cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, run, or work out. Others feel a sudden, intense urge to urinate and may leak before they reach the bathroom. Some experience mixed symptoms, where both patterns are happening at the same time.

You are not imagining it, and you are not alone. Pelvic floor weakness and bladder-control problems can be associated with pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, aging, obesity, or prostate surgery, depending on the patient and the type of urinary incontinence involved. Because urinary symptoms can have different causes, the right first step is a careful evaluation and an honest treatment conversation.

What is Emsella

BTL Emsella is a specialized chair-based treatment that delivers entirely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor musculature. Its purpose is to help rehabilitate weak pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control for the treatment of urinary incontinence in women and men.

At Premier Med Spa of Lake Oswego, Emsella is offered as a discreet pelvic-wellness treatment for patients who want a non-surgical, no-downtime option. You remain fully clothed during treatment, there are no probes, no needles, and no recovery time, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after their appointment.

How Emsella works

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that helps support the bladder and other pelvic organs. These muscles play an important role in bladder control. When they become weak or deconditioned, urinary leakage and loss of control can become more common.

Emsella uses HIFEM technology to trigger thousands of kegel-like pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. Those contractions are designed to help re-educate and strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles. Many patients are treated in a series of six sessions, often scheduled twice per week, though your provider may personalize the protocol based on your history and goals.

Symptoms and concerns this treatment may be appropriate to discuss

Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, jump, or exercise
Bladder leakage after childbirth
Post-menopause bladder control changes
A sudden urge to urinate and not making it to the bathroom in time
Mixed stress and urgency symptoms
Pelvic floor weakness that affects confidence and daily routines
Urinary incontinence in men, including after prostate-related treatment, when appropriate for medical review

Not every urinary symptom is caused by pelvic floor weakness alone, and not every patient is a candidate for Emsella. Your consultation should include a review of symptoms, history, treatment goals, and contraindications so the recommendation stays accurate and individualized.

What an Emsella appointment feels like

You sit comfortably on the Emsella chair while the device delivers pelvic floor stimulation. Patients typically describe the sensation as tingling and rhythmic muscle contractions. You remain fully clothed the entire time, the appointment takes about 28 to 30 minutes, and there is no downtime afterward.

Many patients want to know whether Emsella replaces Kegel exercises. The most accurate answer is that Emsella is a chair-based pelvic floor strengthening treatment, while Kegel exercises remain a standard way to train pelvic floor muscles on your own.

Who may be a good fit for Emsella

Emsella may be a strong conversation to have if you want a non-surgical option for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness, especially if you are looking for something discreet, office-based, and easy to fit into a normal schedule.

We commonly discuss Emsella with patients dealing with postpartum pelvic floor weakness, stress urinary incontinence, urgency symptoms, mixed urinary incontinence, and pelvic-support concerns related to life changes such as childbirth, menopause, and aging. Emsella is used for women and men, and candidacy is always confirmed during consultation.

Who should not be treated with Emsella

Treatment is not appropriate for everyone. BTL states that treatment should not be applied if you have electronic or metal implants, and your consultation should also review any additional contraindications and safety concerns before treatment begins.

A consultation is required to confirm candidacy, review contraindications, and make sure urinary symptoms are being addressed appropriately.
