Emsella Chair pelvic floor treatment at Beauty Diamond Medispa

What Is the Emsella Chair and Who Is It For?

January 26, 20265 min read

If you’ve ever crossed your legs when you sneeze, laughed a little too hard and felt nervous, or noticed changes in bladder control after childbirth or with age — you’re not alone. These experiences are incredibly common, yet many people feel embarrassed talking about them or assume they’re just something they have to live with.

The good news? You don’t have to.

At Beauty Diamond Medispa & Aesthetics, we offer modern, non-invasive solutions designed to support intimate wellness and confidence — and one of the most talked-about treatments today is the Emsella Chair.

So, what exactly is the Emsella Chair, how does it work, and who can truly benefit from it? Let’s break it down in simple, honest terms.

What Is the Emsella Chair?

The Emsella Chair is a non-invasive medical device designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a crucial role in bladder control, core stability, posture, and even sexual wellness.

The treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, which stimulates deep pelvic floor muscles — far more effectively than traditional Kegel exercises.

The best part?
You stay fully clothed and simply sit on the chair.

No needles.
No downtime.
No discomfort.

Just sit, relax, and let the technology do the work.


Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters More Than You Think

Your pelvic floor muscles act like a supportive hammock, holding up organs such as the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles weaken, several issues can arise, including:

  • Urinary incontinence (leaks when sneezing, coughing, or exercising)

  • Difficulty holding urine

  • Decreased sexual sensation

  • Core weakness

  • Lower back discomfort

  • Postpartum recovery challenges

Pelvic floor weakness can happen to anyone, not just women who have had children. Aging, menopause, hormonal changes, surgery, obesity, and high-impact exercise can all contribute.


How Does the Emsella Chair Work?

During a single 28-minute session, the Emsella Chair delivers thousands of powerful pelvic floor contractions — equivalent to doing over 11,000 Kegels in one sitting.

These contractions are involuntary, meaning your body responds automatically. This allows the treatment to target muscles that are difficult — or impossible — to engage consciously on your own.

Over time, these intense contractions help:

  • Re-educate pelvic floor muscles

  • Improve muscle strength and tone

  • Restore neuromuscular control

  • Enhance bladder support

Most clients describe the sensation as a deep tingling or gentle pulsing — unusual at first, but not painful.


What Does an Emsella Treatment Feel Like?

This is one of the most common questions — and understandably so.

Here’s what to expect:

  • You’ll sit comfortably on the Emsella Chair, fully clothed

  • The sensation starts mild and gradually increases

  • You may feel strong muscle contractions in the pelvic area

  • No needles, probes, or internal devices are used

  • You can return to normal activities immediately after

Many clients read, scroll their phone, or simply relax during the session.


Who Is the Emsella Chair For?

The Emsella Chair is suitable for both women and men experiencing pelvic floor concerns or wanting to improve pelvic strength.

It’s ideal for people who:

✔ Experience urinary leakage

Including:

  • Stress incontinence (leaking when coughing, laughing, sneezing)

  • Urge incontinence (sudden, strong urges to urinate)

✔ Have had children

Pregnancy and childbirth stretch pelvic muscles, and even years later, weakness can persist.

✔ Are going through menopause

Hormonal changes can lead to muscle loss and decreased bladder control.

✔ Want improved sexual wellness

Stronger pelvic floor muscles may enhance sensation, confidence, and control.

✔ Prefer non-surgical solutions

Emsella is completely non-invasive and does not require recovery time.

✔ Are men with pelvic floor weakness

Men can benefit too, particularly after prostate surgery or with age-related bladder concerns.


Who May Not Be a Candidate?

While Emsella is safe for most people, it may not be suitable if you have:

  • A pacemaker or implanted electronic device

  • Metal implants in the pelvic area

  • Are currently pregnant

A consultation at Beauty Diamond Medispa & Aesthetics ensures the treatment is appropriate for you.


How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most treatment plans include 6 sessions over 3 weeks, though this may vary based on individual needs.

Clients often notice improvements after just a few sessions, with optimal results developing over several weeks as muscles strengthen.

Maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on lifestyle, age, and personal goals.


Emsella vs Kegels: What’s the Difference?

Kegels are helpful — but only if done correctly and consistently. Many people unknowingly perform them improperly or struggle to activate the right muscles.

The Emsella Chair:

  • Targets deeper pelvic muscles

  • Produces stronger, involuntary contractions

  • Works faster and more effectively

  • Removes guesswork and inconsistency

Think of it as personal training for your pelvic floor — without the effort.
