Urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction—these are common yet often embarrassing concerns that affect many individuals. Whether due to aging, childbirth, or other factors, these issues can greatly impact one’s confidence and daily life. But what if we told you there was one solution to treat both of these conditions?
At BeachGlo Aesthetics, you can experience the life-changing benefits of the Emsella Chair near Outer Banks, NC—a revolutionary treatment that restores your quality of life by addressing stress and urge incontinence.
What is Emsella?
Emsella uses electromagnetic energy to strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles to reduce urinary incontinence, pelvic floor malfunction, and sexual dysfunction.
Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, the Emsella chair near Outer Banks stimulates supramaximal, or involuntary, muscle contractions to strengthen your pelvic floor. In a single 30-minute session, this device can stimulate the equivalent of 11,000 to 12,000 Kegels, an exercise commonly used to strengthen core muscles and reduce urinary incontinence.
This noninvasive treatment provides long-term relief from urinary stress and urge incontinence by retraining muscles, enhancing pelvic floor function, and improving bladder control.
What causes weakened pelvic floor muscles?
Clients can experience weak pelvic floor muscles for a variety of reasons, including:
- Pregnancy and childbirth: During pregnancy, the pelvic floor muscles support the uterus as the baby grows. Over time, these muscles can stretch and strain, causing the uterus to sag and press on the bladder. During vaginal delivery, the pelvic floor muscles continue to stretch as the baby passes through the birth canal, often causing urinary incontinence.
- Aging: As men and women age, their bodies gradually produce less estrogen, a hormone that supports pelvic floor muscle strength and elasticity. Declining estrogen levels weaken these muscles, increasing stress incontinence, and make bladder muscles more sensitive, leading to urge incontinence.
- Constant Pressure: Over time, pressure and stress on your pelvic floor muscles weaken and strain them. Chronic constipation, coughing, or frequent heavy lifting can stretch these muscles and increase the likelihood of stress incontinence.
Why choose Emsella for incontinence?
Emsella offers enhanced muscular control for individuals struggling with bladder issues. Whether you are dealing with stress incontinence (leakage triggered by physical activity, like coughing or sneezing), an overactive bladder, or even sexual dysfunction (inability to perform during intercourse), Emsella can help.
Its noninvasive nature means you do not need surgery or recovery time, so you can continue with your day-to-day activities immediately after treatment. With the availability of the Emsella chair, it is easier than ever to start your treatment journey.
Traditional pelvic floor treatments require additional at-home exercises, which can be difficult to fit into a busy schedule. With the Emsella chair, you can effectively strengthen your muscles without requiring additional exercises at home.
Restore Your Dignity
At BeachGlo Aesthetics, we understand that urinary incontinence can be a challenging subject to discuss and manage.
Emsella allows you to address certain causes and symptoms of incontinence and sexual dysfunction with dignity. Clients sit fully clothed in the specially designed chair; we never ask anyone to undress.
This treatment offers a way to live your life more comfortably, reducing the need for uncomfortable incontinence pads or underwear that you notice during the day.
Effectiveness for Pelvic Health
Emsella treats urinary incontinence by strengthening and toning the pelvic floor muscles, which increases control over the bladder and bowel.
Weak core muscles can cause pelvic organ prolapse (POP), where the organs directly above your bladder sag and press on it. This can make clients experience an urge to pee or cause leakage when they cough, laugh, or exercise. Emsella helps support the organs above your pelvic muscles, relieving pressure on your bladder.
In many cases, we recommend pairing Emsella with pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, or other treatments to create a comprehensive, personalized plan that best suits your needs. This approach can enhance the benefits of Emsella and improve your overall pelvic health.
Effectiveness for Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction in both men and women is often the first sign of a weakened pelvic floor or pelvic organ prolapse, but many patients often wait to alert their medical providers until they experience urinary incontinence or positional pain during intercourse (dyspareunia).
Our Emsella chair near Outer Banks treats positional pain, erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation, or reduced sensation during intercourse by:
- Strengthening key muscles, such as the ischiocavernosus and bulbocavernosus, that support erectile function, orgasms, and prevent premature ejaculation.
- Improving blood flow to genital tissue, helping to increase sensitivity during intercourse and maintain erections.
- Enhancing muscle control by stimulating pelvic floor muscles and nerves to improve responsiveness.
The Emsella Treatment Process at BeachGlo
The treatment process for Emsella is fairly simple, so here is what you can expect when you visit our team.
Step 1: Consultation
Before starting your Emsella treatments, we recommend scheduling a consultation at BeachGlo. During this session, our experts assess your symptoms, explain how the treatment works, and answer any questions you may have. We also discuss your specific treatment goals and develop a customized plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2: Treatment Sessions
Each Emsella session lasts approximately 30 minutes, and during that window, you sit comfortably in the Emsella chair. It may take a few adjustments to find the position that is the most effective on the chair. Some lean forward, while others may sit up straight or lean back. Once we find the right spot, you can relax. You may feel a tingling sensation as your pelvic floor muscles contract involuntarily, but you should otherwise feel comfortable. Most patients report no pain during the procedure, making it a convenient option for those looking for an effective, noninvasive treatment.
Step 3: Results and Maintenance
After your initial series of 6 sessions, you can expect to experience improved bladder control and strengthened pelvic muscles. Your maintenance package will be adjusted to meet your individual needs. That could mean monthly or a longer interval depending on how your body responds.

The results from Emsella treatments can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on individual circumstances. We recommend regular maintenance sessions to help sustain and enhance the results.

Effectiveness for Pelvic Health
