EmSella from Lamb Medical
EmSella Available in Pittsburgh
What is EmSella?
EmSella is a non-invasive treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor muscles using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology. It’s commonly used to treat urinary incontinence and improve pelvic health in both women and men.
How does it work?
During treatment, you sit fully clothed on the EmSella chair, which delivers thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in a single session—equivalent to doing over 11,000 Kegel exercises. This strengthens the muscles that support bladder control and core stability.
What conditions does EmSella treat?
EmSella is FDA-cleared to treat urinary incontinence, including stress, urge, and mixed types. It can also improve sexual wellness and enhance core strength by restoring neuromuscular control.
Is the treatment painful?
No, the treatment is completely non-invasive and painless. Most patients describe a tingling sensation and strong but comfortable muscle contractions.
Is there any downtime?
There is zero downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after each session.
How many sessions are needed?
A typical treatment plan includes 6 sessions over the course of 3 weeks. Some patients notice improvement after just one session, with optimal results seen a few weeks after the full treatment series.
Who can benefit from EmSella?
EmSella is useful for a wide range of individuals, particularly those experiencing pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence. Common candidates include:
Women with urinary incontinence:
- Especially common after childbirth, menopause, or aging.
- Helpful for stress incontinence (leakage from coughing, laughing, or exercising), urge incontinence (sudden, intense need to urinate), or mixed incontinence.
Postpartum women:
- Pregnancy and childbirth can weaken pelvic floor muscles; EmSella offers a non-surgical way to restore strength and control.
Men with bladder control issues:
- Often related to aging, prostate treatment, or pelvic muscle weakness.
Individuals with decreased sexual satisfaction:
- Strengthened pelvic floor muscles can lead to increased sensation and improved function during intimacy for both men and women.
