EMSELLA, an innovative non-invasive treatment, is gaining recognition for its remarkable impact on pelvic floor health. Designed to address urinary incontinence and strengthen pelvic floor muscles, this treatment utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate deep pelvic contractions, akin to performing thousands of Kegel exercises. With its painless nature and no downtime, it offers a promising solution for individuals seeking to regain control and confidence in their daily lives. At The Institute of Aesthetic Surgery in Celebration, FL, we believe in this treatment’s potential.
How Does EMSELLA Work?
EMSELLA is a non-invasive medical device that utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The treatment is primarily designed to address issues such as urinary incontinence and improve pelvic floor muscle tone. During a treatment session, the patient sits fully clothed on the device, which emits electromagnetic pulses that penetrate the pelvic area.
These pulses induce deep pelvic floor muscle contractions, similar to performing thousands of Kegel exercises in a short period. The intense contractions help strengthen and re-educate the muscles, resulting in improved bladder control and overall pelvic floor function. The treatment is painless, requires no downtime, and sessions typically last around 30 minutes. Multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
This is a treatment primarily intended for individuals experiencing urinary incontinence or pelvic floor dysfunction. Good candidates include:
Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence
If you experience urine leakage during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising, you may be a suitable candidate for this treatment.
Women with Urge Urinary Incontinence
If you have a sudden, intense urge to urinate and struggle to reach the bathroom in time, this treatment may help improve bladder control.
Women with Mixed Urinary Incontinence
If you have a combination of stress and urge urinary incontinence, this treatment may be beneficial in addressing both aspects.
Women Postpartum
Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, leading to urinary incontinence. This treatment can help strengthen and restore pelvic floor function in these cases.

How Long Does It Take To See the Results of Treatment?
The timeline for experiencing results from treatment can vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require more sessions before significant changes are observed. Typically, patients undergo a series of EMSELLA sessions scheduled over a few weeks.
Many individuals report an improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks of beginning their treatment course. However, it is usual for it to take a while to see improvement, with full and lasting results to be seen after the completion of the course of treatments.
It’s important to note that individual responses may differ, and factors such as the severity of the condition and the individual’s overall health can influence the timeline for experiencing results. When you consult with our specialist healthcare professionals, they will be able to provide more personalized information and guidance based on your specific situation.
How Many Sessions of Treatment Will I Need?
The number of sessions needed for treatment can vary depending on several factors, including the individual’s specific condition and the severity of their symptoms. However, most treatment plans typically involve a series of multiple sessions for optimal results.
On average, patients undergo between 4 and 6 sessions, scheduled over a period of a few weeks. Each session usually lasts around 30 minutes. However, it’s important to note that the exact number of sessions required may vary based on individual needs and treatment goals.
During your initial consultation, one of our specialists will evaluate your condition, discuss your symptoms, and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements. We will be able to provide a more accurate estimation of the number of sessions needed for your situation.
What Causes the Pelvic Floor To Become Weak?
Pregnancy and Childbirth
The process of carrying a baby and giving birth can put significant strain on the pelvic floor muscles, leading to weakness and stretching.
Aging
As we age, the pelvic floor muscles naturally weaken, similar to the way other muscles in the body weaken.
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in hormonal levels, particularly during menopause, can contribute to pelvic floor muscle weakness.
Chronic Constipation
Straining during bowel movements over an extended period can weaken the pelvic floor muscles.
Obesity
Carrying excess weight puts additional pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, potentially leading to weakening over time.
Chronic Coughing
Conditions such as chronic bronchitis or persistent coughing can strain the pelvic floor muscles and contribute to their weakening.
High-Impact Activities
In general, exercise is good for the body in a number of ways. However, repeated participation in high-impact exercises or activities that put excessive stress on the pelvic area can contribute to muscle weakness.
Certain Medical Conditions
Conditions like pelvic organ prolapse, certain neurological disorders, and connective tissue disorders can impact the strength and integrity of the pelvic floor muscles.
It’s important to note that multiple factors can contribute to pelvic floor muscle weakness, and often it is a combination of factors rather than a single cause. In addition to treatment, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, performing pelvic floor exercises, and seeking appropriate medical care can help prevent or address pelvic floor weakness.
