Non-invasive

Emsella chair therapy

The Emsella chair uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to trigger thousands of deep pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. Stronger pelvic floor muscles help keep blood in the penis during an erection. You stay fully clothed throughout.

This was a small pilot study of 20 men, so larger studies are still needed.

Study results describe groups of patients. They are not a promise of your result: individual results vary, and your specialist will explain what is realistic for you.

Your stay in Istanbul

The typical stay above is a guide. Your exact itinerary, including arrival day, tests, treatment, rest and a final check, is confirmed in your written plan once a specialist has reviewed your case.

Common questions

Is Emsella really just sitting in a chair?
Yes. You stay fully clothed while focused energy works your pelvic floor muscles. You may feel strong tingling and muscle contractions, but no needles or anaesthesia are involved.
How many sessions will I need?
Studies used a course of weekly sessions. Your specialist will recommend a programme and explain how many sessions can be done during your stay in Istanbul.
