Emsella Treatments for Pelvic Health in San Francisco

Pelvic floor health affects many aspects of daily life, from basic comfort to intimate relationships.

At our San Francisco clinic, we offer Emsella – an innovative, non-surgical treatment that helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and address issues like urinary incontinence. This FDA-cleared treatment provides a dignified solution for women experiencing pelvic floor concerns.

What is Emsella?

Emsella is a breakthrough treatment that uses focused electromagnetic energy to activate thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. Think of it as a super-powered Kegel exercise machine – but one that does all the work for you. During each 30-minute session, you remain fully clothed while sitting on a specially designed chair that delivers the electromagnetic pulses.

How Emsella Works

The electromagnetic stimulation triggers deep contractions of the entire pelvic floor region. These contractions are much more powerful and targeted than what you can achieve through regular exercises. A single session produces thousands of muscle contractions, essentially giving your pelvic floor an intensive workout while you simply sit and relax.

The treatment strengthens both the superficial and deep pelvic floor muscles, helping to restore neuromuscular control. This comprehensive approach helps address the root causes of bladder control issues and pelvic floor weakness.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your Emsella session takes place in a private treatment room. You’ll remain fully clothed throughout the procedure and simply sit on the Emsella chair. Most patients describe feeling a tingling sensation and muscle contractions during treatment, but it’s not painful. You can read, check email, or just relax during the 30-minute session.

We typically recommend a series of six sessions, scheduled twice per week for three weeks, to achieve optimal results. Each treatment builds upon the previous ones to progressively strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.

Benefits of Emsella Treatment

Many women notice improvements after just a few sessions. The benefits often include:

Reduced urinary urgency and frequency

Better bladder control during daily activities

Decreased stress incontinence when laughing, coughing, or exercising

Improved intimate wellness

Greater confidence in social situations

Enhanced quality of life

Stronger pelvic floor muscles overall

Who Can Benefit from Emsella?

Emsella is particularly helpful for women experiencing:

Mild to moderate stress incontinence
Urge incontinence
Mixed incontinence
General pelvic floor weakness
Post-pregnancy pelvic floor issues
Age-related bladder control concerns

The treatment is suitable for women of various ages and fitness levels. It’s especially beneficial for those who have difficulty performing traditional Kegel exercises effectively or haven’t seen results from other conservative treatments.

Safety and Recovery

Emsella is FDA-cleared and non-invasive, with no downtime required. You can return to your normal activities immediately after each session. Some patients report feeling like they’ve done an intensive workout in their pelvic region, which is normal and indicates the treatment is working effectively.

Results and Maintenance Most women report noticeable improvements within a few weeks of starting treatment. The full benefits typically develop over 2-3 months as the muscles strengthen and nerve functions improve. Results can last for months to years, depending on factors like age, overall health, and lifestyle.

To maintain results, some patients choose to schedule periodic maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. We’ll work with you to develop an appropriate maintenance plan based on your individual needs and response to the initial treatment series.

Cost and Insurance

Treatment costs vary depending on the number of sessions needed. While insurance typically doesn’t cover Emsella treatments, we offer various payment options and can discuss these during your consultation. Many patients find the investment worthwhile given the significant impact on their quality of life.
