Emsella®
Stop the Leaks.
Strengthen the Floor.
You skipped the trampoline park with your kids. You wear black leggings to boot camp at Memorial Park — just in case. You stopped running the Buffalo Bayou trail because the bouncing was too risky. Stress incontinence affects 1 in 3 women, and Kegels aren't cutting it. Emsella lets you sit fully clothed for 28 minutes while HIFEM technology forces your pelvic floor muscles to contract 11,000 times — deeper and more intensely than any voluntary Kegel could achieve. It doesn't just strengthen muscles; it re-educates the neuromuscular control of your bladder.
Emsella for Women is one of six intimate wellness treatments at Ovation. It works standalone or as part of a combination protocol.

50% of women perform Kegels incorrectly. Emsella bypasses voluntary effort entirely — delivering supramaximal contractions that are physically impossible to achieve on your own.
Supramaximal Contractions
HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy penetrates deep into the pelvic floor, forcing 11,000 supramaximal contractions in 28 minutes. These contractions are far more intense than voluntary Kegels — reaching 100% of muscle fiber recruitment.
- Strengthens pelvic floor 'hammock'
- Rebuilds muscle tone lost to childbirth/aging
- Lifts and supports pelvic organs
- 11,000 contractions = months of perfect Kegels
Neuromuscular Retraining
Beyond raw strength, Emsella retrains the neural pathways that control bladder function. Dormant nerve connections are reactivated, giving you conscious and involuntary control over the muscles that prevent leaking.
- Retrains brain-muscle nerve pathways
- Restores involuntary bladder control
- Wakes up dormant neuromuscular connections
- Gives back voluntary control during intimacy
The Bathtub Analogy
Think of your bladder like a bathtub: the faucet (blood/urine flow) needs to be regulated, and the drain (urethra) needs a plug. Your pelvic floor muscles ARE the plug. When they weaken, urine leaks out — no matter how strong the rest of your anatomy is. Emsella rebuilds that plug.
What Emsella for Women Improves
What to Expect
During the Procedure
You sit fully clothed in the Emsella chair in a private suite on Woodway Drive — it looks like a regular chair with a padded seat. Once activated, you'll feel a tingling and tapping sensation as the electromagnetic energy forces your pelvic floor muscles to contract. The intensity is adjustable and builds gradually. Most women find it comfortable; some scroll Instagram, answer emails, or just sit. Twenty-eight minutes and you're done — back to carpool in Tanglewood, your office at the Galleria, or boot camp at Memorial Park (this time without the worry).
After Treatment
There is absolutely zero downtime. You stand up and continue your day — work, exercise, intimacy, everything. There's no soreness, no swelling, and no recovery period. Some women notice their pelvic floor feels "activated" for a few hours, like they did an intense workout.
Results Timeline
Many women notice improved bladder control after just 1-2 sessions. We recommend a series of 6 treatments, typically 2 per week over 3 weeks. Results continue improving for several weeks after the final session as muscles continue strengthening. Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months sustain results.
