BTL EMSELLA®
A chair-based treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, while you stay fully clothed
BTL EMSELLA® uses HIFEM® electromagnetic technology to make the pelvic floor muscles contract thousands of times in a single session, in a similar way to pelvic floor exercises. You simply sit on the chair, fully clothed, for around 30 minutes. BTL states that EMSELLA® is intended to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles for the treatment of urinary incontinence in women and men. Every course starts with a consultation to make sure it is right for you.
Pelvic floor strength, seated
EMSELLA® focuses electromagnetic energy on the pelvic floor, the muscles that support the bladder and pelvic organs.
HIFEM® technology
High-intensity focused electromagnetic energy makes the pelvic floor muscles contract, thousands of times in one session.
Designed to strengthen
BTL says the repeated contractions help re-educate and strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles.
A short course
A typical course is six sessions of around 30 minutes, usually twice a week, planned with you at your consultation.
Who EMSELLA® is for
Pelvic floor muscles can weaken for many reasons, and the NHS lists pregnancy and childbirth, and the menopause, among the common causes of bladder leaks. EMSELLA® is designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, so women often consider it after having a baby, once they have had their postnatal check, and around menopause. It is also suitable for men. The NHS recommends seeing your GP about bladder leaks, with pelvic floor muscle training as a first step.
What to Expect
Preparation
Your first visit includes a consultation to check EMSELLA® is suitable for you. It is not suitable if you have metal or electronic implants, such as a pacemaker, joint replacement, metal plates or a copper coil, or during pregnancy. If you have bladder leaks or other pelvic floor symptoms, the NHS recommends speaking to your GP, and we encourage you to do so alongside any treatment with us.
Your Treatment
You sit fully clothed on the EMSELLA® chair for around 30 minutes. You will feel tingling and your pelvic floor muscles tightening, and your practitioner can adjust the intensity to keep you comfortable.
Aftercare
There is no downtime, so you can go straight back to your day. Some people notice a change after one session, with results usually developing over the following weeks. Results vary from person to person.
