BTL Emsella Chair Treatment Cardiff
Sit and experience our breakthrough, non-invasive treatment for incontinence and intimate discomfort, using advanced electromagnetic stimulation (HIFEM® technology) to gently and effectively strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Ageing, childbirth and menopause can weaken pelvic floor support, which can affect bladder control and everyday confidence. Clinical research shows that 95% of people treated with EMSELLA report a significant improvement in quality of life.
How Does It Work
You sit comfortably and fully clothed on the Emsella chair while the device delivers focused electromagnetic pulses deep into your pelvic floor muscles. During the 30-minute session, you will feel strong but pain-free muscle contractions and a mild tingling sensation. Many people describe this feeling as similar to an intense pelvic floor workout. There are no needles, no internal procedures, and no preparation required. You can leave the clinic and resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.
What to Expect
You will sit comfortably on the treatment chair while the device delivers electromagnetic pulses to your pelvic floor muscles. You stay fully clothed throughout. During the session you will feel strong, rhythmic muscle contractions and a mild tingling sensation. Most people describe the feeling as similar to an intense pelvic floor workout.
Your Treatment Course
A full course at Beauty Advance consists of six sessions, scheduled twice a week over three weeks. This is the protocol validated in BTL’s published clinical studies. Most patients notice a reduction in leakage or urgency after their second or third session, with the strongest results emerging two to four weeks after the final treatment as the pelvic muscles continue to adapt. Maintenance sessions are available for those who want to protect their results over time.
Who Is Emsella Suitable For?
Our Emsella chair treatment is suitable for most adults experiencing stress incontinence, urge incontinence, or general pelvic floor dysfunction, regardless of age or underlying cause. It is particularly effective for women managing postpartum incontinence, menopausal pelvic changes, or the gradual onset of urgency. It is also suitable for men, particularly those dealing with incontinence following prostate surgery or pelvic floor weakness associated with ageing.
Many patients arrive having already tried pelvic floor physiotherapy without sufficient results. If you are unsure whether Emsella is the right next step, a free assessment with one of our clinicians will give you a clear and honest answer before any commitment is made. For patients interested in addressing both pelvic health and body composition, many of our clients combine Emsella with Emsculpt Neo body contouring, which builds muscle and reduces fat using the same BTL HIFEM platform.
Note: Emsella is not suitable for patients with certain metal implants, cardiac pacemakers, or those who are pregnant. A full medical screening is completed at your consultation before any treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Most patients notice improvement after 2–3 sessions. The most significant results typically appear two to four weeks after completing the full course, as the pelvic floor muscles continue to strengthen following treatment. Individual timelines vary depending on the degree of muscle weakness present at the start of treatment, which is why we assess each patient individually before recommending a programme.
How long do the results last?
Clinical evidence from BTL Aesthetics shows that results from a standard six-session course can last six months or longer in many patients. Factors such as age, lifestyle, and the underlying cause of pelvic floor weakness will influence how long the improvement is maintained. We offer maintenance sessions for patients who want to protect their results over time, and we discuss an ongoing care plan with every patient at the end of their course.
How much does Emsella treatment cost in Cardiff?
Pricing is confirmed during your free initial consultation, as each treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. As a general guide, single sessions start from £120. Full course pricing is available at your assessment, where we can also discuss whether a package suits your goals. Finance options may be available on request, and your clinician will walk you through everything at your consultation, with no obligation to commit on the day.
Is the treatment painful?
Emsella is not painful. During the session, you will feel strong, rhythmic muscle contractions in the pelvic floor area, which most patients describe as unusual but entirely manageable. There are no needles, no internal components, and no skin contact from the device. Some patients experience mild muscle fatigue in the pelvic region for a day or so after their first session, which resolves on its own and becomes less noticeable as the course progresses.
Is Emsella suitable for men as well as women?
Yes. BTL Emsella is clinically indicated for both women and men. It is particularly effective for men managing urinary incontinence following prostate surgery or those experiencing pelvic floor weakness due to age or reduced activity. The treatment protocol is the same regardless of gender, and a full assessment is completed before any course begins to confirm suitability and set realistic expectations.
