After the age of 50, the female body undergoes many changes, which are often invisible but deeply felt. Among them, the loss of tone in the perineum and intimate changes related to the menopause are still too often overlooked. Discomfort during sexual intercourse, urinary leakage, vaginal and vulvar dryness, loss of sensation… These problems affect one in two women over the age of 50, with a direct impact on their quality of life, self-confidence and sexuality.
Faced with these issues, aesthetic medicine now offers innovative, non-invasive solutions that respect women’s privacy. At Maison Magnifisens, we combine two complementary approaches for comprehensive and effective treatment: vaginal and vulvar radiofrequency called Emfemme360®, which regenerates tissue and boosts hydration, and perineal strengthening with Emsella®, a cutting-edge technology that effortlessly rebuilds pelvic floor muscles.
Together, these two treatments form a winning combination, designed to help menopausal women enjoy greater comfort, pleasure and freedom at every stage of their lives.
What changes after 50 for women's intimate areas and the perineum
Time and hormonal fluctuations have a direct impact on the anatomy and physiology of the female intimate area. From the onset of menopause – which occurs on average around the age of 51 – oestrogen production drops sharply. This hormonal change affects several essential functions: hydration of the vaginal mucosa, tissue elasticity, vascularisation, muscle tone, including the perineum… everything is affected.
Common consequences:
Vaginal dryness: the mucous membrane becomes thinner and more fragile, causing feelings of tightness, irritation or pain during intercourse.
Loss of vaginal elasticity: the tissues lose their firmness, which can cause physical discomfort or alter sexual sensations.
Urinary leakage: due to a less toned perineum and reduced pelvic floor support, some women, whether menopausal or not, experience involuntary leakage when exerting themselves or laughing.
Decreased sexual pleasure: due to dryness, perineal weakening and reduced tissue sensitivity.
These intimate problems may seem minor from the outside, but they have a significant impact on quality of life. Too often trivialised, they cause discomfort, frustration and a loss of self-confidence… yet today there are effective, gentle solutions that respect women’s privacy.
Understanding the role of the perineum and why it needs to be strengthened
The perineum is a hammock-shaped muscular structure located between the pubic bone and the coccyx. It supports the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum), contributes to urinary and anal continence, and plays an essential role in sexuality. However, it remains little known, poorly exercised, and even forgotten.
The perineum, a discreet but central player in women's wellbeing
Over the years – and even more so after the age of 50 – all of the muscles in the perineum lose tone. There are many causes of muscle relaxation: pregnancy and childbirth, weight fluctuations, a sedentary lifestyle, menopause, or simply the natural ageing of the muscles. The result: a weakened perineum no longer performs its support functions properly, which can cause:
urinary incontinence during physical exertion (coughing, laughing, playing sports),
a sensation of heaviness in the pelvis or vaginal emptiness,
a decrease in sexual sensation,
sometimes a descent of organs (urinary and faecal prolapse) in the most advanced cases.
Why strengthen your pelvic floor after the age of 50?
At this stage of life, it is common to experience weakening of the pelvic floor and perineum. This should not be considered inevitable. Strengthening all the muscles of the perineum allows you to:
to regain better control of urinary functions,
improve the quality of sexual intercourse (more sensation, no pain, better lubrication),
to prevent the worsening of disorders (urinary leakage or urinary incontinence, prolapse or organ descent, etc.),
to regain confidence
Kegel exercises are often recommended. These are voluntary exercises that involve contracting the perineal muscles, but they require regularity and body awareness that are not always easy to achieve. They remain ineffective when urinary incontinence is present. This is why medical technologies, such as the Emsella® chair, can effectively stimulate these deep perineal muscles without effort, discomfort or pain.
III. The role of Emsella® technology in deeply strengthening the perineal muscles
Among the major innovations in women’s intimate health, Emsella® technology stands out for its effectiveness, ease of use and excellent satisfaction rate over time. It strengthens all the muscles of the perineum effortlessly and without discomfort, acting directly on the pelvic floor muscles by causing powerful contractions using focused electromagnetic waves.
What is Emsella® and how does it work?
Emsella® is a medical device shaped like a chair on which the patient simply sits, fully clothed. It uses high-intensity electromagnetic waves (HIFEM) to induce up to 11,000 supramaximal muscle contractions in 30 minutes to strengthen the muscles, far beyond what voluntary training such as Kegel exercises could offer.
These powerful contractions deeply stimulate all the muscle groups in the perineum without abdominal pressure, resulting in:
an increase in muscle tone,
better muscle coordination,
a restructuring of the pelvic floor.
The treatment is painless, quick, non-invasive, and there is no intimate contact. It is therefore perfectly suited to women who are modest or reluctant to undergo manual perineal rehabilitation methods.
What are the benefits of Emsella® after the age of 50?
Reduction or elimination of urinary leakage during exertion, laughter or coughing.
Improved posture and support for the pelvic organs, preventing certain types of organ prolapse.
Restoring sexual pleasure, thanks to a more toned perineum that is better able to respond to stimuli.
Regained confidence in everyday activities (sport, travel, intimate life, etc.).
Emsella® is suitable for women seeking preventive treatment at the first signs of slackening, as well as those already suffering from proven disorders. An initial course of 6 to 8 sessions is generally recommended, at a rate of two per week, followed by monthly or quarterly maintenance sessions.

Emfemme® vaginal radiofrequency: intimate regeneration and care for the vagina and vulva
Emfemme® radiofrequency is a cutting-edge technology specifically designed for comfort, health and intimate beauty. Non-invasive, painless and with no downtime, it works both inside the vaginal canal and on the external vulva, for a comprehensive approach to female well-being.
Deep treatment of the vaginal mucosa
Emfemme® uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves that cause controlled heating of the submucosal tissue. This heat stimulates:
the production of collagen and elastin,
the vascularisation of the mucosa,
the natural hydration of the intimate area.
The benefits are visible and noticeable from the very first sessions:
a reduction in vaginal dryness,
improved lubrication,
greater elasticity,
a reduction in the feeling of looseness,
increased comfort during intercourse.
Special attention to the vulvar region: aesthetics and comfort
What sets Emfemme® apart from other technologies is its ability to treat the external vulvar area (labia minora and majora, vaginal entrance), which is often overlooked but equally important.
External treatment allows:
to firm up the vulvar tissues,
to revive natural colour (thanks to improved blood circulation),
to reduce dry skin or chronic irritation,
to correct volume loss or sagging associated with ageing or weight loss.
It is an ideal solution for women who wish not only to restore their intimate functions, but also to regain aesthetic harmony in their genital area.
A personalised protocol at Maison Magnifisens
Treatment with Emfemme® takes an average of 20 minutes and is performed by a doctor in a confidential and reassuring environment. It may include:
intravaginal radiofrequency alone,
radiofrequency vulvar only,
or a combination of both, for comprehensive care.
A protocol of 3 to 5 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is generally recommended, followed by one or two maintenance sessions per year, as needed.
Why combine vaginal radiofrequency and Emsella for the perineum?
While it is entirely possible to achieve results using either of these technologies, their strategic combination enables a higher level of intimate regeneration and toning, with benefits at both the tissue and functional and sensory levels. functional and sensory.
Two complementary approaches with the same goal: intimate wellbeing
Radiofrequency primarily acts on tissue quality: it regenerates the vaginal mucosa, restores its natural moisture and improves elasticity.
Emsella, meanwhile, targets the muscular component of the perineum: it deeply rebuilds the pelvic floor and perineum, thereby strengthening organ support and urinary control.
Together, these treatments enable:
a comprehensive action on the entire perineal, vaginal and vulvar area (mucosa + muscles),
a simultaneous improvement in intimate comfort, sexual pleasure and continence,
effective prevention of intimate ageing.
Visible and noticeable results from the very first perineal rehabilitation sessions
Most patients experience rapid improvement:
less urinary leakage,
greater comfort and lubrication during intercourse,
better control of the perineum on a daily basis,
more confidence in their bodies and femininity.
It is a comprehensive, non-invasive approach that respects privacy and requires no recovery time, time off work or surgical intervention.
A synergy that respects the pace and needs of every woman
At Maison Magnifisens, these treatments are incorporated into a personalised protocol, established during a prior medical consultation. Depending on each woman’s personal history, symptoms and expectations, we adapt the number and spacing of appointments, while offering attentive and caring follow-up.
Who are these treatments intended for?
Contrary to popular belief, these treatments are not reserved for women who already have severe intimate disorders. They are intended for all women who wish to preserve, restore or improve their intimate comfort, their body confidence and their quality of life.
Profiles most affected:
Women over 50, who are menopausal or perimenopausal, experiencing the effects of hormone deficiency: dryness, loss of elasticity, vaginal laxity, loss of sexual sensation.
Women prone to urinary leakage, whether recent or long-standing, mild or moderate, occurring during exertion, laughter, coughing or exercise.
Women who have given birth, even years ago, and experience a loss of tone in the perineum, intimate discomfort or a feeling of emptiness.
Active women who wish to prevent intimate ageing without waiting for symptoms to appear.
Women who have already tried traditional methods of perineal rehabilitation (Kegel exercises or probe exercises) without lasting results or who are unable to perform these exercises on their own.
When should you consult a doctor?
It is never too early or too late to take care of your perineum and intimate area. Some women seek advice as a preventive measure, others after the menopause or after years of silent discomfort. The important thing is to take the plunge, in a safe and caring environment.
A tailor-made approach at Maison Magnifisens
Every woman is unique, every experience is different. That is why we offer a personalised assessment and preliminary medical consultation at Maison Magnifisens to evaluate the condition of the mucosa and pelvic floor and discuss specific expectations. We then propose a combined or sequential protocol: radiofrequency alone, Emsella® alone, or both in synergy.
