We understand that pelvic health concerns can be personal and sensitive, whether it’s urinary incontinence, post-childbirth changes, or pelvic floor weakness. While many women assume these changes are simply part of ageing or childbirth, effective treatments are available.
One such treatment in Singapore is Emsella, our flagship pelvic floor therapy at Healthsprings Aesthetics Medispa. It is non-invasive and uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM), a medical-grade, FDA-cleared technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
First Trial $180 nett
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that stretch like a supportive hammock beneath the bladder, uterus, and bowel. When these muscles are strong, they help you control urination and bowel movements, support your internal organs, and stabilise your core. When they weaken, that support can give way.
Some women may manage pelvic floor weakness symptoms for some time before seeking support.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It’s common and affects women at different life stages, and urinary incontinence treatment is available for all three main types.
| Type | What It Is | Common Triggers |
|---|---|---|
| Stress Incontinence | Leakage triggered by physical pressure on the bladder | Coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise, heavy lifting |
| Urge Incontinence | A sudden, strong urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage | Overactive bladder, often with little warning |
| Mixed Incontinence | A combination of stress and urge incontinence | Both physical exertion and sudden urgency |
Women who seek pelvic floor treatment are typically managing stress or mixed incontinence, both of which tend to respond well to pelvic floor strengthening approaches.
Urinary incontinence in Singapore, as elsewhere, tends to stem from a handful of recurring causes:
Urinary incontinence may be triggered by:
Recognising your specific trigger pattern can help your doctor or therapist determine the most suitable approach for you.
Treatment for pelvic floor weakness and urinary incontinence ranges from conservative, exercise- and energy-based approaches through to surgical options for more advanced cases. The right starting point depends on your symptoms and how long you’ve been living with them.
Here are the different types of pelvic floor therapy and urinary incontinence treatments at Healthsprings Aesthetics Medispa in Singapore.
| Emsella (HIFEM Chair) | Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy | Surgical Options (Sling/Mesh) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Electromagnetic stimulation, passive muscle contraction | Manual therapy, guided exercise, biofeedback, active training | Surgical correction of anatomical support |
| Invasiveness | Non-invasive, fully clothed | Non-invasive | Invasive, requires anaesthesia |
| Effort Required | Passive, no exercise needed during session | Active participation and home exercises | One-time procedure, then recovery |
| Downtime | None | None | Days to weeks, depending on procedure |
| Recommended For | Mild to moderate stress incontinence, general pelvic floor weakness | Building long-term muscle control, postnatal recovery, complements other treatments | Moderate to severe incontinence or prolapse not responding to conservative care |
Emsella may be a suitable starting point, or a complement to physiotherapy, for women with mild to moderate symptoms. If your symptoms are more significant or persistent, it’s worth being assessed by a doctor, who can advise on further options. Book a consultation at Healthsprings Aesthetics Medispa.
The Emsella chair uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
By delivering thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in each session, one session on an Emsella chair mimics the effect of 11,000 Kegel exercises. A single 28 to 30 minute session may produce more contractions than most people could achieve through voluntary exercise alone.
A Kegel exercise requires your own ongoing, self-directed effort. Emsella is passive: you sit, fully clothed, while the technology does the work of contracting the muscles for you.
Sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair.
HIFEM technology delivers electromagnetic energy.
Muscle contractions strengthen the pelvic floor.
The contractions induced by HIFEM technology are designed to re-educate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles progressively, over a course of sessions rather than in a single visit.
Our Emsella treatment in Singapore is generally suitable for women experiencing:

Speak to our team to determine whether Emsella treatment is the right starting point for your concern.
Emsella can also benefit men experiencing pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence.
You’ll sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair. There’s no undressing and no preparation needed beforehand. Most patients describe a tingling or pulsing sensation as the pelvic floor muscles contract, rather than pain. A session takes approximately 28 to 30 minutes, and no anaesthesia or numbing is required.
A course of multiple sessions is typically recommended rather than a single visit, since muscle re-education tends to build progressively. The exact number depends on your individual severity and goals, and will be discussed at your consultation. Some patients notice initial changes within the first few sessions, with improvement continuing over the full course.
There’s no downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately. No special aftercare products or restrictions are required.
A trial session of Emsella treatment in Singapore is available for $180 nett at Healthsprings Aesthetics Medispa, while ongoing course pricing depends on several factors:
We can provide you with a personalised quote after your trial session and consultation, based on your individual needs.
Our all-women team understands the sensitive nature of pelvic health concerns and works to make you feel comfortable throughout. Many women find it easier to discuss pelvic floor and incontinence concerns with a female-led team, in a private, judgment-free setting.
Emsella uses HIFEM technology, and treatments are delivered using medical-grade, FDA-cleared technology.
Your treatment plan is tailored following an initial assessment of your symptoms and goals. Where a case requires further medical evaluation, you’ll be appropriately advised or referred.
If you’d like to find out whether pelvic floor therapy is right for you, book a consultation to get started. You can also explore Labia Rejuvenation and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to support your recovery and overall wellness alongside your treatment plan.
A trial session for Emsella, the pelvic floor therapy at Healthsprings Aesthetics Medispa, is available for $180 nett. Ongoing course pricing depends on the number of sessions recommended, which is determined after assessment.
Most patients describe the sensation as a deep tingling or pulsing as the muscles contract, rather than pain.
A course of multiple sessions is typically recommended rather than a single visit, as the pelvic floor muscles are re-educated progressively. The right number varies by individual and will be discussed at your consultation.
Emsella may be suitable for women with mild to moderate stress, urge, or mixed incontinence. More significant or longstanding incontinence, or incontinence associated with pelvic organ prolapse, should be assessed by a doctor first.
No, they work differently and can complement each other. Emsella uses electromagnetic stimulation to passively induce deep muscle contractions during a session. Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves active, guided exercise and technique training with a therapist, often over a longer period.
Results vary between individuals, and depend on factors including the severity of symptoms and ongoing pelvic floor habits. Maintenance sessions may be worth discussing with your therapist to help sustain improvement over time.
Emsella may not be suitable if you’re pregnant, have an active urinary tract infection, have a pacemaker or metal implants, or have untreated pelvic organ prolapse. See the suitability section above for the full list, or speak to our team at consultation.
Your first trial session is available for $180 nett. It’s confidential and you’ll be cared for by our all-women team throughout.
Your trial includes a short assessment followed by the session itself.
