You will be seated comfortably on the Emsella chair, which is designed to deliver targeted stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles and accommodate a wide range of body types. As the HIFEM technology is applied, you will feel pelvic floor muscle contractions, similar to the ones experienced during Kegel exercises but more frequent and powerful. While the muscle contractions are strong, the treatment itself is not painful, and most patients describe the sensation as unusual but tolerable, requiring no anesthesia or pain medication.

A typical Emsella treatment plan consists of 6 sessions, scheduled twice weekly for 3 weeks, allowing for optimal muscle stimulation and recovery time between sessions. Each Emsella session lasts approximately 28 minutes, making it easy for patients to fit treatments into their busy schedules. Many patients report noticeable improvements in their urinary incontinence symptoms after just 2-3 sessions; however, optimal results are typically achieved after completing all 6 sessions, as the pelvic floor muscles continue to strengthen over the course of the treatment. While the standard treatment plan involves 6 sessions, our provider may recommend a customized plan based on your individual needs and goals.

It’s important to continue engaging in regular pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), which help to keep the pelvic floor muscles strong and maintain bladder control. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption, can also support pelvic floor health and prevent the worsening of urinary incontinence symptoms. Depending on your individual needs, our provider may recommend scheduling maintenance sessions every 3-6 months to reinforce the strength of the pelvic floor muscles and ensure long-lasting results. Our team will work with you to schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and make adjustments to your maintenance plan as needed.
