EMSELLA for men
EMSELLA, incontinence and erectile dysfunction for men – FDA cleared
Here at Andresa we understand that Incontinence and erectile dysfunction are not comfortable topics, but are very much needed to sustain a better quality of life.
EMSELLA focuses on building, stimulating, and re-educating the muscles necessary to achieve an erection or provide productive bladder control through a series of electromagnetic pulses. The science is based on focused energy, deep penetration, and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area. These pulses target your pelvic floor to restore neuromuscular control and help you feel comfortable, confident, and empowered in your skin.
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Erectile dysfunction, also commonly known as impotence, is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
Struggling to get an erection from time to time isn’t necessarily a cause for concern, however, if your erectile dysfunction is persistent and ongoing it’s often a major cause of stress affecting both your self-confidence and the relationship with your significant other.
Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:
- Trouble getting an erection
- Trouble keeping an erection
- Reduced sexual desire
Erectile Dysfunction can also be a result of an underlying condition such as a weak pelvic floor or nerve damage. If you’ve had a prostatectomy (a surgical procedure for the partial or complete removal of the prostate), you may begin to experience erectile dysfunction due to trauma to the muscles and nerves around the prostate and pelvic floor.
Common causes of erectile dysfunction include:
- Medical conditions, particularly diabetes or heart conditions
- Being overweight, especially if you’re obese
- Certain medical treatments, such as prostate surgery or radiation treatment for cancer
- Injuries, particularly if they damage the nerves or arteries that control erections
- Medications, including antidepressants, antihistamines and medications to treat high blood pressure, pain or prostate conditions
- Psychological conditions, such as stress, anxiety or depression
- Drug and alcohol use, including tobacco especially if you’re a long-term user or heavy drinker
URINARY INCONTINENCE
EMSELLA is FDA cleared for mild to moderate stress incontinence, hyperactive bladder and urge incontinence.
Some men require a liner or small pad for small amounts of leakage after radical prostatectomy. These men may leak during a heavy work out or towards the end of the day.
EMSELLA has helped the majority of these men return to continence. Some men have not had surgery but they have significant urgency and frequency to urinate.
95% of patients have significant improvement. EMSELLA’s ability to strengthen pelvic muscles may also enable patients to more easily achieve orgasm, have stronger orgasm’s and increase sensation leading to a positive effect on sexual wellness and intimate relationships.
FAECAL INCONTINENCE
By targeting the pelvic floor muscles with High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, BTL EMSELLA stimulates the muscles, tightens the pelvic floor and allows you to regain control to achieve and maintain an erection.
During the BTL EMSELLA treatment, electromagnetic currents directly stimulate the pelvic floor muscles beyond the level that can be consciously achieved through Kegel or other pelvic floor exercises, drastically cutting down the time between your first visit to a GP and recommendation for medical treatment if necessary.
This achieves far stronger contractions, giving your pelvic floor muscles a far better workout; the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegel exercises in one treatment.
BTL EMSELLA treatment also changes the structure of the muscles by stimulating the growth of new protein strands and muscle fibres to improve the physical action of the muscles overall!
These muscles and nerves can be injured or weakened in several ways including:
- Surgery to remove cancer in the anus or rectum
- Remove haemorrhoids
- Treat anal abscesses and fistulas
- Hypertrophy of the pelvic muscles
- A long-term habit of straining to pass stool
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
Infections, prostate cancer or stress have a negative impact on incontinence and/or your intimate health.

Who is the right candidate for BTL EMSELLA?
BTL EMSELLA is a great option for men of any age who desire a solution for urinary incontinence and improvement in the quality of their intimate life.
How long is the treatment and how many sessions do I need to have?
A typical treatment takes about 28 minutes and to start with you will need 6 sessions, scheduled twice a week. During each 28-minute session, the muscles of the pelvic floor contract over 11,000 times. Not only that, but the entire pelvic floor musculature is involved, not just the subset that can be exercised with voluntary contractions.
What does the procedure feel like? Is it painful?
You will experience tingling and pelvic floor muscles’ contractions during the procedure. You may resume daily activities immediately after the treatment NO PAIN IS EXPERIENCED.
How does the procedure work?
You will be fully clothed and comfortable sitting on the EMSELLA chair – FDA Approved EMSELLA ® applies High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology (HIFEM) to deeply stimulate pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control. These muscle contractions work to repair the pelvic floor to enable patients to regain bladder control.
