Incontinence Treatments

Non-invasive pelvic floor rehabilitation and urinary incontinence management

Urinary incontinence — encompassing stress, urge and mixed subtypes — is a prevalent condition affecting millions of adults in the UK. At Berkshire Aesthetics, we offer clinically assessed, non-invasive electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation as part of a structured management pathway, providing an effective alternative to surgical intervention.

Aetiology & Contributing Factors

  • Weakened pelvic floor muscles, often due to pregnancy and childbirth
  • Hormonal changes during menopause leading to tissue thinning
  • Age-related muscle weakening
  • Chronic coughing, heavy lifting or high-impact exercise placing strain on the pelvic floor
  • Prostate surgery or treatment in men
  • Obesity increasing pressure on the pelvic floor
  • Neurological conditions affecting bladder control

Clinical Presentation

  • Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising (stress incontinence)
  • A sudden, intense urge to urinate that is difficult to control (urge incontinence)
  • Frequent urination or needing to urinate during the night
  • Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
  • Reduced confidence in social or physical activities due to bladder concerns

Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities

Treatment selection is individualised following clinical assessment, taking into account disease severity, Fitzpatrick skin type, medical history and patient goals.

EMSella

EMSella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions per session — far more than achievable through voluntary exercise. Patients remain fully clothed and seated during treatment. A course of sessions can significantly strengthen the pelvic floor and reduce incontinence symptoms.

Core to Floor

Core to Floor combines pelvic floor stimulation with core muscle strengthening in a single treatment session. This dual approach addresses the interconnected muscle groups that support bladder control, posture and core stability.

Why we start with a consultation

Every treatment begins with a medical assessment. We need to understand your medical history, current health, skin condition and concerns before prescribing any procedure. This protects your safety and ensures the treatment is clinically appropriate for you.

During your consultation, Dr Langdon will explain what the treatment can realistically achieve, any risks specific to you, and whether an alternative might be more appropriate.

Clinical FAQs: Incontinence

EMSella delivers focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate rapid pelvic floor contractions — equivalent to thousands of Kegel exercises per session. You sit fully clothed on the EMSella chair for approximately 30 minutes.
A typical course involves 6 sessions over 3 weeks (two per week). Your doctor will assess your needs and recommend an appropriate treatment plan during consultation.
Yes. EMSella can benefit men experiencing incontinence, particularly following prostate surgery. Suitability is assessed during a confidential consultation.
Most patients describe a tingling sensation and strong muscle contractions, but the treatment is not painful. Intensity is adjusted to your comfort level throughout each session.
No. EMSella and Core to Floor treatments require no downtime. You can return to all normal activities immediately after each session, including exercise.
Some patients report improvements after 2–3 sessions. Optimal results are typically achieved after completing the full course and continue to develop over the following weeks.
No. EMSella treatment is performed while you are fully clothed. You simply sit on the treatment chair for the duration of the session.
EMSella supplements pelvic floor exercises by delivering far more contractions per session than voluntary exercise can achieve. We may recommend continuing exercises alongside treatment for the best results.
