Emsella pelvic-floor therapy

Emsella uses focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate the pelvic-floor muscles while you sit fully clothed on a treatment chair. A single session delivers around 11,400 supramaximal contractions over about 28 minutes, working the whole pelvic floor in a way that is difficult to achieve through exercises alone. It is FDA approved and used for bladder leakage and urgency, bowel control and sexual health, for both women and men, including after childbirth and after prostate surgery. Skinfresh brought the first Emsella chair to New Zealand, and every course begins with a medical assessment so results can be optimised through your wider health, not the chair alone. There are no needles, no lasers and no recovery time.

Pelvic floor and sexual function. Strengthening the pelvic floor is also associated with improvements in sexual function. Better pelvic-floor tone and blood flow may support arousal and orgasm in women and men, and may support erectile function in men. These are not guaranteed outcomes, and they are discussed as part of your medical assessment.

Adults with bladder leakage or urgency, bowel control concerns, or changes in sexual response, including after childbirth or prostate surgery. It is best suited to mild to moderate concerns and to anyone wanting a non-invasive, walk-in option.

Emsella is not safe for everyone. It is not suitable for people who have had cancer, or for those with metal implants in the hip or spine. We also screen carefully for pregnancy, pacemakers and other electronic implants, bleeding tendency and recent surgery. If any of these may apply to you, please tell us; our team will talk through your options with care.

You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair for around 28 minutes per session while the device stimulates thousands of pelvic-floor contractions. The treatment is comfortable, with no needles and no recovery time, so you walk in and walk out. Because Skinfresh is a medical clinic, treatment begins with an assessment with Dr Frances, or a referral from your gynaecologist, to confirm suitability, screen for contraindications and tailor your plan; a brief trial treatment can be arranged so you know how it feels.
