What it is
Emsella is a non invasive treatment that strengthens and restores the pelvic floor. You sit comfortably and fully clothed while the device delivers thousands of deep pelvic floor contractions in a single session, which is the equivalent of doing hours of pelvic floor exercises without the effort.
It is the treatment we reach for when the pelvic floor has lost tone, whether after pregnancy, through the menopause or simply over time. A course is recommended, because that is where the change happens.
Where it is used
One 30 minute session, seated and fully clothed, with nothing to recover from.
- Weak pelvic floor or loss of tone
- Bladder leaks or urgency
- Post pregnancy changes
- Reduced core stability and confidence
- Menopausal pelvic floor changes
- No needles, no undressing and no downtime
Who it suits
- Anyone leaking when they cough, laugh, sneeze or run
- Anyone with urgency, or planning the day around where the toilets are
- Women rebuilding the pelvic floor after pregnancy
- Women noticing pelvic floor changes through the perimenopause and menopause
- Anyone who cannot feel the pelvic floor working, or is not sure they are exercising it correctly
When it is not the answer
- A metal implant, a pacemaker or a copper coil, which is why the consultation starts with your history
- Pregnancy, where it is not the time for this treatment
- Abdominal muscle tone rather than pelvic floor strength, where Emsculpt Classic is the treatment
- Stubborn fat alongside weak muscle, where Emsculpt NEO works on both
- Any symptom that is new, painful or changing, which is a conversation with your GP first
If Emsella is not the right treatment for you, we will say so at consultation and suggest what is.
What happens on the day
Your consultation covers your symptoms, your history and what you have already tried, including whether you have been doing pelvic floor exercises and how they are going. Nothing is booked in before that conversation.
The session lasts 30 minutes. You stay fully clothed and sit on the device while it delivers the contractions. You feel the pelvic floor working, the intensity is built up gradually and it is adjusted throughout, so tell us how it feels.
There is no downtime and you go straight back to your day. Results feel subtle at first and build across a course, which is why Emsella is recommended as a course rather than a single appointment.
Emsella questions
How much is Emsella at Skinfolk?
A 30 minute session is £20 on our treatment list. A course is recommended and the number of sessions is agreed at your consultation. Every price we publish is on our treatment pricing page.
How many sessions will I need?
That is agreed at your consultation. A course is recommended for best results, because the improvement builds progressively rather than after one appointment.
Does Emsella hurt?
It is not painful. You feel strong pelvic floor contractions, the intensity is built up gradually and it is adjusted through the session.
Do I need to undress?
No. You stay fully clothed and seated for the whole session, which takes 30 minutes, and you go straight back to your day afterwards.
Can Emsella help with bladder leaks?
Bladder leaks and urgency are among the things it is used for, alongside loss of pelvic floor tone, post pregnancy changes and menopausal changes. More on that on our bladder leaks and pelvic floor weakness page.
What is the Floor to Core programme?
It combines Emsella pelvic floor strengthening with targeted core and abdominal treatments, to rebuild strength from the pelvic floor upwards. It is set out on our signature programmes page.
Where is the clinic?
Skinfolk is at The Paddocks, Woodhall Lane, Ombersley, Uphampton, Droitwich WR9 0JR. We welcome clients from Droitwich Spa, Worcester, Bromsgrove and across Worcestershire. Details are on our contact page.
What it treats
Emsella is the treatment we reach for on bladder leaks and pelvic floor weakness, and on the loss of pelvic floor tone that comes after pregnancy and through the menopause.
It sits with Emsculpt Classic, Emsculpt NEO and our laser and radio-frequency treatments on the body page, and the price is on the treatment pricing page. Combined with core work it forms our Floor to Core programme on the signature programmes page.
