If bladder leaks or urgent bathroom trips are shaping your day, you are not alone. Urinary incontinence is common and highly treatable. This month, discover EmSella in Columbus, a comfortable, non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that helps you regain control while you sit fully clothed.
At Polaris Vein & Aesthetics, you can book a free consultation, get a personalized plan, and start feeling confident again without surgery or downtime.
What EmSella Is and How It Works
EmSella is a chair that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate deep pelvic floor contractions—think thousands of perfectly targeted Kegels in less than 30 minutes.
-
The electromagnetic field passes painlessly through clothing.
-
Triggers rapid contractions that strengthen and re-educate the muscles supporting the bladder and urethra.
-
Improves control over leaks caused by coughing, laughing, lifting, or running.
-
Reduces urinary urgency that can disrupt your day or sleep.
Who Is a Good Candidate for EmSella
You may be a good candidate if you experience:
-
Stress incontinence: Leaks with exertion such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise
-
Urge incontinence: Strong, sudden urges with or without leaks
-
Mixed incontinence: A combination of stress and urge symptoms
-
Pelvic floor weakness after pregnancy, menopause, prostate procedures, or aging
Not suitable for:
-
Individuals with metal implants or pacemakers
-
Active pelvic infections
-
Pregnancy
A free consultation helps confirm safety and tailor your plan.
What an EmSella Session Feels Like
-
You sit fully clothed on the EmSella chair.
-
Feel strong but tolerable tapping and deep pelvic contractions.
-
Intensity is adjustable and manageable for most patients.
-
No anesthesia, no invasive equipment, and no need to undress.
-
You can read, relax, or work while the technology works for you.
How Many Sessions Are Needed and How Long Results Last
-
Typical series: 6 sessions, ~28 minutes each, twice a week for three weeks
-
Many patients notice improvement after the first few sessions
-
Benefits often last several months
-
Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months help sustain strength and control
How Soon You’ll Notice Results
-
Some see fewer leaks or better urgency control after 1–3 sessions
-
Others see steady improvement by the end of the 6-session series
-
Factors influencing timeline:
-
Starting pelvic strength
-
Hydration
-
Lifestyle habits
-
Consistency with at-home pelvic exercises
-
Safety, Side Effects, and Downtime
-
Non-surgical, no downtime
-
Return to work, workouts, and daily activities immediately
-
Common sensation: temporary pelvic muscle fatigue (like after a workout)
-
Rare: mild cramping or temporary soreness, resolves quickly
-
Your medical history is reviewed to ensure EmSella is appropriate
What to Avoid After EmSella
-
Stay hydrated; moderate caffeine if urgency is a concern
-
Resume light activity; high-impact workouts can wait until you feel ready
-
Continue any guided pelvic floor exercises if advised
Types of Incontinence EmSella Helps
-
Stress incontinence: Improves closure pressure during effort
-
Urge incontinence: Supports muscles that modulate bladder signals
-
Mixed incontinence: Addresses both strength and coordination
Also supports:
-
Pelvic floor rehab post-childbirth or surgery
-
Potential improvement in sexual function via muscle tone and blood flow
How EmSella Compares to Other Non-Surgical Options
| Option | How It Works | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pelvic floor physical therapy | Education and technique for coordination | EmSella complements with high-volume contractions |
| Kegel apps & home devices | Reminders for exercises | Results depend on consistency |
| Medications | Reduce urgency | Can cause side effects; doesn’t strengthen muscles |
| Pessaries | Mechanical support | EmSella strengthens muscular foundation |
| Surgery & injectables | Invasive procedures | EmSella is non-surgical and convenient |
Your provider will help you decide if EmSella alone or combined with other approaches fits your goals.
