Emsella® Treatment for Incontinence in Montreal
What does Emsella® do?
What areas of the body can Emsella® be used for?
While the Emsella Chair may look like a sleek, high-tech seat, it’s doing deep internal work that targets one of the most essential (and often overlooked) muscle groups in your entire body — your pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form a hammock-like structure between your tailbone and pubic bone. These muscles support your bladder, uterus (in women), prostate (in men) and bowels.
So, while Emsella doesn’t directly treat your bladder or reproductive organs, it strengthens the muscles that control them, improving your ability to hold urine, reduce leakage, and even enhance sexual function. That’s why Emsella is so effective as a urinary incontinence treatment — it targets the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Emsella is perfect for:
- Urinary incontinence
- Core strength
- Postpartum recovery – especially after vaginal birth
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Menopausal changes
- Intimate wellness
Unlike invasive procedures or surgeries, Emsella is completely painless, noninvasive, requires no recovery time, and is so simple that many clients read, scroll, or relax during treatment. It’s like a high-powered workout for the muscles that matter — with zero sweat and zero embarrassment. Perfect for both women and men who want to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and take control of their bodies again.
At our aesthetic medical spa in Montreal, our trained practitioners can use a variety of techniques to restore, enhance, and maintain your wellness in many areas of the body. Schedule a free consultation to find out how we can help you achieve your ideal body!
Frequently asked questions about Emsella® treatment
What can I expect from my Emsella® treatment?
- During your consultation, we will help you determine if Emsella is the right fit for your needs.
- It is recommended to empty your bladder before each session.
- During the Emsella chair treatment, you’ll be fully clothed. You will feel a gentle pulsing or tapping in your pelvic area— nothing painful, just a little weird at first. The session takes about 30 minutes.
- When you’re done, you can get up and go about your day — no sweat, no soreness, no downtime.
- You might notice improvement after just one session, with results that often continue to get better in the following weeks.
Does Emsella Chair really work?
Yes, it really does — and for so many of our clients, it’s been life-changing.
If you’re dealing with urinary incontinence, you know how isolating and frustrating it can feel. Always needing to know where the nearest bathroom is, planning your day around it, or feeling embarrassed when you laugh, sneeze, or even walk too fast — it can take a toll on your confidence.
Many clinical studies and satisfied patient reviews show that Emsella is highly effective for strengthening pelvic floor muscles and reducing urinary incontinence. In fact, over 95% of patients report a significant improvement in their quality of life after completing the recommended treatment series.
Is the Emsella Chair safe?
Yes! It’s FDA-cleared and Health Canada-approved, with no serious side effects.
Does Emsella hurt?
Not at all — Emsella chair treatments are not painful.
Most people describe it as a deep tingling or tapping sensation in the pelvic area. It’s similar to the feeling of your muscles contracting during a workout, but way more intense — because the Emsella chair is doing thousands of pelvic floor contractions for you in just one session.
Does Emsella treatment help with intimacy?
Yes — and for many women, that’s one of the most empowering benefits.
When your pelvic floor muscles are weak, it doesn’t just affect bladder control — it can also impact intimate sensation, arousal, and overall confidence during intimacy. The Emsella Chair works by strengthening those deep muscles, increasing blood flow, and improving neuromuscular control in the pelvic area.
What are the contraindications of Emsella?
While Emsella is a safe and noninvasive treatment for most people, there are a few situations where it’s not recommended. Here are the main contraindications:
- A pacemaker or implanted defibrillator
- Metal implants in the pelvic area (such as copper IUDs, hip replacements, or screws/plates near the treatment zone)
- Neurological disorders or seizure conditions that may be affected by electromagnetic energy
- Pregnancy or recently given birth (You’ll need clearance from your doctor postpartum)
- Cancer — especially if it’s active or in the pelvic area
- Severe pelvic organ prolapse that may require surgical intervention
At Ideal Body Clinic, we do a full consultation to make sure Emsella is safe and right for you. We’ll ask the right questions, review your medical history, and make sure you feel informed and supported every step of the way.
Is there any downtime after Emsella?
None. You can go straight back to work, errands, or brunch.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need a series of 6 sessions, spaced out over three weeks — usually two sessions per week. That’s the standard protocol for achieving the best results when it comes to strengthening the pelvic floor and improving bladder control.
However, everyone’s body is different. Some people notice improvement after just one or two sessions, while others may need a few maintenance sessions later on, especially if symptoms return over time.
At Ideal Body Clinic, we’ll personalize your plan based on your goals, symptoms, and how your body responds. And don’t worry — each session is just 30 minutes, fully clothed, and completely noninvasive.
