Does Emsella really work for incontinence?

Yes. Clinical studies demonstrate that Emsella achieves a 95% improvement in quality of life for patients with stress urinary incontinence, with 75% reduction in pad usage. At 99 Medispa Sydney, Emsella delivers over 11,000 supramaximal pelvic floor contractions per 28-minute session using HIFEM technology. A course of 6 sessions over 3 weeks produces measurable pelvic floor strengthening.

Do I need to undress for Emsella treatment?

No. At 99 Medispa Sydney, Emsella treatment is completely non-invasive — you sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair for the entire 28-minute session. The HIFEM electromagnetic field penetrates through your clothing to activate the pelvic floor muscles. There is no undressing, no touching, and no discomfort.

How many Emsella sessions do I need?

At 99 Medispa Sydney, the standard Emsella protocol is 6 sessions over 3 weeks (2 sessions per week). Most patients notice improvement after 2-3 sessions, with optimal results 2-4 weeks after completing the full course. Maintenance sessions every 3-6 months help sustain the pelvic floor strength gained during the initial course.

Is Emsella suitable after childbirth?

Yes. Emsella at 99 Medispa Sydney is an excellent option for postnatal pelvic floor rehabilitation once your healthcare provider has cleared you for normal activities (typically 6-8 weeks postpartum). Many new mothers find that Emsella accelerates pelvic floor recovery beyond what Kegel exercises alone can achieve, particularly helpful for stress incontinence that developed during pregnancy or delivery.

Can Emsella help with vaginal laxity?

At 99 Medispa Sydney, Emsella strengthens the entire pelvic floor musculature, which can improve vaginal tone and sensation. While it is primarily indicated for stress urinary incontinence, many patients report improved intimacy and sensation as the pelvic floor muscles strengthen. The treatment is non-invasive and does not directly treat vaginal tissue — it works by strengthening the surrounding muscular support.

Pelvic Floor
& Vaginal Rejuvenation

1 in 3 women experience incontinence — non-invasive treatment exists

Pelvic floor weakness affects millions of Australian women, causing stress urinary incontinence, reduced sensation, and diminished quality of life. Emsella uses electromagnetic energy to strengthen the entire pelvic floor — fully clothed, in 28 minutes.

Understanding the Concern

What Causes Pelvic Floor Weakness

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue that supports the bladder, uterus, and rectum. When these muscles weaken, they can no longer maintain adequate support — leading to stress urinary incontinence (leaking during coughing, sneezing, exercise, or laughing), urgency incontinence, and vaginal laxity.

The most common causes of pelvic floor weakness are pregnancy and childbirth (vaginal delivery stretches and can damage pelvic floor muscles), menopause (declining oestrogen reduces muscle tone and tissue elasticity), aging (natural muscle deterioration), chronic straining (constipation, heavy lifting), and obesity (excess weight increases downward pressure on the pelvic floor).

Stress urinary incontinence affects approximately 1 in 3 women over 35 in Australia. Despite being extremely common, many women wait years before seeking treatment — often assuming it is a normal, untreatable consequence of childbirth or aging. It is not.

Why Treatment Matters

Pelvic Floor Weakness Is Progressive

Without intervention, pelvic floor weakness typically worsens over time. Mild stress incontinence progresses to more significant leakage. Vaginal laxity affects intimacy and confidence. In severe cases, pelvic organ prolapse can develop. Early intervention produces better outcomes and can prevent the need for surgical options later.

The good news is that pelvic floor muscles respond to strengthening — whether through exercises, physiotherapy, or technology-assisted treatment. The challenge is that many women cannot effectively isolate and activate these muscles through Kegel exercises alone.

Treatment Comparison

Pelvic Floor Treatments Compared

Emsella

HIFEM (electromagnetic muscle stimulation)Entire pelvic floor musculature

Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions per session — equivalent to performing over 11,000 Kegel exercises in 28 minutes. You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair while the electromagnetic field stimulates the entire pelvic floor musculature simultaneously. Clinical studies demonstrate 95% improvement in quality of life and 75% reduction in pad usage. A standard course is 6 sessions over 3 weeks.

Kegel Exercises

Voluntary muscle contractionPelvic floor muscles

Kegel exercises involve voluntarily contracting the pelvic floor muscles for several seconds, then releasing. When performed correctly and consistently (3 sets of 10-15 repetitions daily), they can improve mild stress incontinence over 3-6 months. However, studies show that up to 50% of women perform Kegels incorrectly — contracting the wrong muscles — limiting their effectiveness. Emsella bypasses this issue by directly activating the target muscles.

Pessary

Mechanical support deviceVaginal support

A pessary is a silicone or rubber device inserted into the vagina to provide mechanical support for the pelvic organs. It is a non-surgical option for prolapse and stress incontinence, particularly suitable for women who cannot or choose not to have surgery. Pessaries require regular removal, cleaning, and replacement. They manage symptoms but do not strengthen the pelvic floor.
