How EMSELLA Works
EMSELLA uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles with thousands of supramaximal contractions per session
These powerful muscle contractions strengthen and restore neuromuscular control, improving muscle strength, bladder control, and overall quality of life.
Comfortable & Convenient
The treatment is delivered while you remain fully clothed, sitting comfortably on the EMSELLA chair. There is no downtime and no recovery period required.
Each session takes approximately 28 minutes, and you can return to your daily activities immediately afterwards.

Understanding Pelvic Floor Health
Your pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When these muscles weaken due to childbirth, aging, or other factors, it can lead to bladder control issues and reduced quality of life​
EMSELLA targets these muscles directly, strengthening them through thousands of contractions in each session—equivalent to performing 11,000 pelvic floor exercises in just 28 minutes.
