Emsella

At the Intimate Wellness Institute of Virginia, we understand that issues like urinary incontinence are far more than a minor inconvenience—they can dictate your daily life. It’s an issue that millions of women experience but few feel comfortable discussing: that sudden leak when you cough or exercise, the constant anxiety of needing to be near a restroom, and the quiet loss of freedom and spontaneity.

We want you to know two things: you are not alone and you do not have to live this way.

As the leading pelvic health experts in the Mid-Atlantic, we are proud to offer Emsella®, a true breakthrough in non-invasive technology. Here in our Midlothian, Virginia center, under the medical supervision of Dr. Nathan Guerette, we provide this revolutionary treatment not just as a quick fix, but as a core component of our commitment to restoring your function, confidence, and quality of life.

What is Emsella? A Breakthrough for Pelvic Floor Strength

Emsella is an FDA-cleared medical treatment specifically designed to combat incontinence and strengthen a weakened pelvic floor. It uses focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate the deep muscles of the pelvic floor, effectively restoring neuromuscular control and reversing the effects of childbirth, aging, and menopause. It is a powerful, non-invasive solution for a real medical condition.

The Science of Emsella: Deep Healing from Within

The magic of Emsella lies in its ability to do what the human body cannot do on its own. The technology, known as High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) energy, creates a powerful field that penetrates deep into the pelvic floor, inducing thousands of powerful muscle contractions.

In a single 28-minute session, Emsella delivers the equivalent of 11,000 perfectly executed Kegel exercises.

These “supramaximal” contractions engage the entire pelvic floor muscle group at once—a feat impossible with voluntary Kegels. This intense workout re-educates the muscles, builds new muscle fibers, and strengthens existing ones. The result is a revitalized, strong pelvic floor sling that properly supports your pelvic organs and gives you back control over your bladder.

The IWI Difference: More Than a Chair, It’s a Comprehensive Program

Receiving Emsella treatment at IWI is fundamentally different from a medspa experience. Incontinence is a medical condition, and it deserves an expert diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment plan.

• Expert Oversight: Dr. Guerette and our team of specialists first ensure that Emsella is the right treatment for your specific type of incontinence and pelvic floor condition.
• Holistic “Core to Floor” Therapy: We recognize that your body is an interconnected system. Your pelvic floor is the “floor” of your core. For ultimate stability and long-term results, this foundation must work in harmony with the “walls”—your abdominal and oblique muscles. For many patients, we recommend our “Core to Floor” therapy, combining Emsella treatments with Emsculpt NEO® to build core strength, creating a fully supported and functional system from the inside out.

Your Emsella Experience: Simple, Comfortable, and Discreet

The Emsella treatment process is designed with your comfort and convenience in mind.

• Sit and Relax: You simply take a seat on the ergonomic Emsella chair, fully clothed.
• Comfortable Sensations: You will feel a tingling sensation and distinct contractions in your pelvic floor, but the procedure is not painful. You can read a book, catch up on emails, or simply relax during the 28-minute session.
• No Downtime: As soon as your session is over, you can immediately return to your daily activities with absolutely no restrictions or recovery time. A typical treatment course involves six sessions, scheduled twice a week for three weeks.

Proven Results for a Life Without Limits

The efficacy of Emsella is backed by compelling clinical evidence. Studies show that 95% of patients report a significant improvement in their quality of life, with an average of over 75% reduction in symptoms. For our patients, these numbers translate to real-world freedom: the ability to laugh freely, play with children or grandchildren, exercise without fear, and live without the constant worry of leakage.

Is Emsella Right for You?

Emsella is an excellent and life-changing treatment for women of any age dealing with:

• Stress Incontinence: Leaking with coughs, sneezes, laughter, or exercise.
• Urge Incontinence: The sudden, intense “gotta go” feeling.
• Postpartum Recovery: Restoring pelvic floor integrity and strength after childbirth.
