Emsella Pelvic Floor Treatment
Reclaim confidence and comfort with Emsella at Advanced Skin MedSpa in Fishkill, NY. This revolutionary chair-based treatment uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen your entire pelvic floor in just 28 minutes per session — while you remain fully clothed. With a 95% patient satisfaction rate, Emsella is transforming the way men and women throughout the Hudson Valley address urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness.
How Emsella Restores Pelvic Floor Strength
The BTL Emsella is an FDA-cleared device that delivers thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. You simply sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair while its HIFEM technology generates a powerful electromagnetic field that penetrates the pelvic floor musculature. Each 28-minute session induces approximately 11,200 Kegel-equivalent contractions — a volume and intensity that is physically impossible to replicate through voluntary exercise alone.
These deep, involuntary contractions retrain and strengthen the entire pelvic floor muscle group, restoring neuromuscular control that may have been compromised by childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, or chronic strain. Unlike traditional Kegel exercises where most patients struggle with proper form and consistency, Emsella ensures that every contraction is complete, correctly targeted, and maximally effective. The result is measurably improved pelvic floor tone, better bladder control, and a significant reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms.
Conditions Emsella Treats
Emsella is primarily indicated for the treatment of urinary incontinence in both women and men. Stress urinary incontinence — leaking during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise — is the most common condition treated, and it affects an estimated one in three women at some point in their lives. Emsella is equally effective for urge incontinence, characterized by a sudden, intense need to urinate that is difficult to control, as well as mixed incontinence that combines both stress and urge components.
Beyond incontinence, many patients at our Fishkill practice report improvements in overall pelvic floor wellness after completing their Emsella series. Strengthened pelvic floor muscles can contribute to enhanced intimate wellness, better core stability, and reduced pelvic discomfort. Postpartum women find Emsella particularly valuable for rebuilding pelvic floor integrity after vaginal delivery, and perimenopausal and menopausal women benefit from counteracting the muscle weakening effects of declining estrogen levels. Men experiencing age-related pelvic floor decline or post-prostatectomy incontinence are also excellent candidates for Emsella treatment.
What to Expect During Your Emsella Session
An Emsella treatment at Advanced Skin MedSpa is one of the most comfortable procedures in our entire service menu. You arrive in your everyday clothing — there is no need to undress, no preparation required, and no special garments to wear. You simply sit on the Emsella chair, and the treatment begins. During the 28-minute session, you will feel a tingling sensation and pelvic floor contractions that increase in intensity. Most patients describe the feeling as unusual but not painful, and many read, check their phone, or simply relax during the treatment.
The standard Emsella protocol consists of six sessions scheduled twice per week over a three-week period. This concentrated treatment schedule allows the pelvic floor muscles to progressively strengthen with adequate recovery between sessions. There is zero downtime after each appointment — you can return to all normal activities immediately, including exercise. Many patients begin noticing improvement in bladder control after just two or three sessions, with optimal results developing over the full course of treatment and continuing to improve for several weeks after the final session.
The Science Behind 11,000+ Supramaximal Contractions
The clinical power of Emsella lies in its ability to generate supramaximal contractions — muscle activations that exceed what the body can produce voluntarily. When you perform a Kegel exercise, you are generating a voluntary contraction that engages only a portion of the pelvic floor muscle fibers. Emsella's HIFEM technology bypasses the brain's neuromuscular limitations and directly stimulates the motor neurons of the entire pelvic floor, recruiting 100 percent of the muscle fibers in the treatment field simultaneously.
Delivering over 11,000 of these complete contractions in a single session creates a profound remodeling stimulus. The muscle fibers undergo hypertrophy (increased thickness) and hyperplasia (generation of new muscle fibers), resulting in measurably stronger and more responsive pelvic floor musculature. Clinical studies published in peer-reviewed journals demonstrate that Emsella produces a 95% patient satisfaction rate, with 67% of treated patients either completely eliminating or significantly reducing their use of absorbent pads. These outcomes position Emsella as one of the most effective non-surgical interventions for pelvic floor dysfunction available today.

Frequently Asked Questions
The standard Emsella protocol is six sessions scheduled twice per week over three weeks. This concentrated treatment timeline allows progressive strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles with adequate recovery between sessions. Some patients may benefit from periodic maintenance treatments after completing their initial series to sustain optimal results long-term.
Emsella is not painful. During the session you will feel a tingling sensation and pelvic floor muscle contractions that intensify gradually throughout the treatment. Most patients find the sensation unusual at first but quickly become comfortable. The intensity is adjusted to your tolerance level, and many patients relax, read, or use their phone during the 28-minute session.
No. One of the most appealing aspects of Emsella is that the treatment is performed while you remain fully clothed. You simply sit on the Emsella chair in your regular clothing. There are no gowns, no special preparation, and no physical contact during the procedure. This makes Emsella exceptionally convenient and comfortable for patients.
Emsella is appropriate for women and men of any age who experience urinary incontinence or pelvic floor weakness. Common candidates include postpartum women, perimenopausal and menopausal women experiencing hormone-related pelvic floor changes, men with age-related pelvic floor decline, and anyone who leaks urine during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. Patients with metal implants near the treatment area or certain medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers may not be eligible. A consultation at our practice will determine your candidacy.
Many patients report noticing improvement in bladder control after just two or three sessions. Results continue to develop throughout the treatment series and for several weeks after the final session as the pelvic floor muscles continue to strengthen and remodel. Clinical studies show that the majority of patients experience a significant reduction in incontinence episodes and pad usage by the end of their treatment course.
