Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does it work?

    EMSELLA utilizes electromagnetic energy to deliver thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. These contractions re-educate the muscles of incontinent patients.

  • Does it hurt?

    It's an incredibly comfortable treatment. You will feel consistent tightening of the muscle, but should not feel any pain or discomfort. It is equivalent to doing 12,000 Kegels, an impossible task to do on your own. It is non-invasive and has zero downtime afterward, letting you get back to your life immediately.

  • How long does the treatment take?

    Each treatment takes 28 minutes and is performed twice a week. Depending on your pelvic floor health, we will determine how many treatments you need, but typically 6 treatments over a period of 3 weeks.

  • How long will the results last?

    Results vary from person to person, but after the initial six treatments, most patients typically do not need a follow-up session for 6 to 12 months.

  • When do I see results?

    Many patients feel stronger and tighter after even the first treatment. Results can happen anytime throughout your treatment plan, but ultimate results are achieved 90 days after the final treatment when the muscle has had time to develop.

  • Are there any contraindications?

    Metal implants, pregnancy, tumors, and heart disorders.
