EMSELLA is a breakthrough noninvasive treatment for urinary incontinence, primarily meant for individuals seeking relief from bladder control issues. Cohen Medical Centers offers this cutting-edge treatment to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and help patients regain control.
What is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a non-surgical solution for urinary incontinence, a condition that affects individuals of various ages, especially women post-childbirth or menopausal. This treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate pelvic floor muscles, enhancing their strength and function. Patients sit fully clothed on the EMSELLA chair while precise electromagnetic energy penetrates into the targeted muscles, triggering thousands of supramaximal contractions. This process effectively strengthens the pelvic floor, reducing or eliminating urinary incontinence symptoms.
What can EMSELLA incontinence treatment help with?
- Stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
- Urge urinary incontinence (UUI)
- Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI)
- Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome
- Pelvic floor dysfunction related to weak muscles
- Bladder control issues resulting from aging or hormonal changes
- Leakage during physical activities like sneezing, laughing, or exercising
- Sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary loss of urine
How does EMSELLA incontinence treatment work?
EMSELLA uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to target the pelvic floor muscles. The patient remains fully clothed and comfortably seated on the EMSELLA chair, which emits electromagnetic energy that penetrates deeply into the pelvic floor muscles. These electromagnetic waves induce supramaximal contractions, which are involuntary muscle contractions significantly stronger than those achievable through voluntary exercise. The intense contractions triggered by EMSELLA strengthen and recondition the pelvic floor muscles over time
This process, known as neuromuscular re-education, improves muscle tone, endurance, and coordination. By enhancing the strength and functionality of the pelvic floor muscles, EMSELLA reduces or eliminates symptoms of urinary incontinence, providing patients with long-lasting relief and improved quality of life without invasive procedures or downtime.

Am I a candidate for EMSELLA incontinence treatment?
To determine if you’re a candidate for EMSELLA incontinence treatment, Dr. Cohen and his team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation during your consultation. They’ll review your medical history and discuss your symptoms to assess suitability. Additionally, they may perform a physical examination to ensure EMSELLA is the right choice for you. Generally, you may be a suitable candidate for EMSELLA if you:
- Experience urinary incontinence issues such as stress, urge, or mixed types
- Desire a non-invasive treatment option
- Have realistic expectations for treatment outcomes
- Are in overall good health with no contraindications
- Are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- Have discussed your symptoms with Dr. Cohen and his team
What are the side effects and risks?
The potential side effects of EMSELLA incontinence treatment are typically mild and temporary. These may include temporary discomfort or soreness in the treated area. Rarely, some individuals may experience mild bruising or swelling.
However, serious complications are rare. Dr. Cohen and his team will thoroughly discuss any potential risks and side effects with you during your consultation, ensuring you are well-informed before proceeding with treatment.
When will I see the
results?
You may start noticing improvements in urinary incontinence after just a few EMSELLA sessions. However, optimal results typically emerge within a few weeks to months after completing the recommended treatment. The exact timeline may vary based on individual factors, such as the severity of your condition and your body’s response to the treatment.
What is the frequency of
treatments?
For optimal results, Dr. Cohen and his team recommend a series of EMSELLA treatments spaced over several weeks. The specific schedule will be tailored to your individual needs and the severity of your urinary incontinence. Generally, patients undergo two sessions per week for a total of six sessions, but this may vary depending on your circumstances.
