Emsella Pelvic Floor Treatment
A non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment at our Koreatown, Los Angeles medspa, designed to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and support bladder control for women and men. You stay fully clothed the entire time.
What is Emsella?
Emsella is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence. It uses HIFEM® electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions in each session while you sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair for about 30 minutes, and most people return to their day right after. At Jubilee Aesthetics in Koreatown, Los Angeles, Emsella is provided under licensed medical supervision for women experiencing bladder leaks after childbirth or around menopause, and for men with urinary leakage after prostate surgery.
How Emsella works
Emsella uses HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology. A focused electromagnetic field passes through the seat of the chair to the pelvic floor, producing thousands of muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions are designed to help re-engage and strengthen the muscles that support bladder control. During treatment, you'll feel tingling and rhythmic contractions, and your provider adjusts the intensity to your comfort.

What to expect with Emsella
A private consultation
Your provider reviews your symptoms and health history to confirm Emsella is a good fit. On treatment days, there's no special prep. Just remove your phone, keys, and other metal items before sitting down.
Sit back and relax
You sit on the Emsella chair fully clothed. You'll feel tingling and pelvic floor contractions, and your provider can adjust the intensity at any point. Many patients simply read or relax until the session ends.
Back to your day
Most people return to normal activities right away, though mild pelvic muscle fatigue is possible. Results develop gradually over the course of your treatment plan and vary by individual. Your provider may recommend maintenance sessions.
