What is urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It can occur at various stages of life and is associated with several factors, such as pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, aging, certain prostate conditions, or high-impact sports.
These leaks can occur when laughing, coughing, during physical exertion, or following a sudden urge to urinate that is difficult to hold back. Although common, urinary incontinence is not inevitable. Modern, non-invasive solutions are now available to improve urinary control and effectively strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
The Role of the Pelvic Floor in Urinary Incontinence
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the pelvic organs and play a key role in bladder control. Over time, certain events such as childbirth, menopause, or aging can weaken these muscles, leading to urinary leakage. Effective treatment for urinary incontinence therefore relies on targeted strengthening of the pelvic floor.
Who is urinary incontinence treatment intended for?
This service is intended for:
- to women and men;
- for people with any type of urinary incontinence;
- for those looking for a non-invasive solution that is pain-free and requires no recovery time.
How does the EMSELLA urinary incontinence treatment work?
This is a non-invasive medical device that deeply stimulates and strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. The treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic waves, a technology approved by Health Canada.
This stimulation allows for:
- to stimulate blood circulation;
- to improve tissue oxygenation;
- to induce deep, repeated contractions of the pelvic floor muscles.
The treatment is performed comfortably while seated, fully clothed, with no surgery, no needles, and no recovery time.
A session lasting about 28 minutes, performed while seated and fully clothed, is equivalent to more than 11,000 supramaximal muscle contractions—a level that cannot be achieved voluntarily.

Treatment Process
1. Initial medical consultation and personalized assessment
A consultation with a general practitioner. The doctor will determine whether treatment for urinary incontinence is appropriate for your situation.
2. EMSELLA Treatments
If the patient is eligible, the first treatment can be scheduled for the same day. Sessions take place at the clinic, in a professional, safe, and comfortable medical setting. The treatment plan typically involves about six sessions, scheduled twice a week.
3. Follow-up and counseling sessions
To maintain the results, follow-up appointments are recommended. The frequency of these appointments varies depending on each patient and their lifestyle.
Frequently asked questions
The success rate observed in studies regarding symptom improvement is 95%. Many patients experience benefits as early as the first few sessions, including: better bladder control, a reduction in the frequency of leaks, and a noticeable improvement in quality of life. Results generally improve after a full course of treatment.
How long does a session last?
