Emsella is one of our most popular treatments here at Lumina Vein & Aesthetics because it is one of the few noninvasive treatments for urinary incontinence available today. You sit fully clothed in the special Emsella chair for about 30 minutes, and then you can simply go about your day as normal. For many, this is a revolutionary advancement for treating incontinence.
Even so, it’s important to understand how this technology works and how it can treat different types of incontinence. Here, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about receiving Emsella near Orlando, providing the ultimate guide to your incontinence treatment at Lumina.
How Emsella Works
The first important thing to understand about Emsella is that it targets your pelvic floor. Your pelvic floor is a grouping of muscles that stretches from your tailbone to the front of your pubic bone. These muscles are responsible for stabilizing your core and supporting organs like your bladder, uterus, and prostate.
Over time, the pelvic floor can become weakened as a result of childbirth, surgery in or around the pelvic floor, constant straining, age, or other factors. This causes your pelvic floor to stretch and become weak, making it unable to fully support your organs. Because of this, you could experience concerns like urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.
This is where our team would offer you Emsella near Orlando. Emsella uses HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to stimulate over 11,000 muscle contractions within your pelvic floor. This provides benefits much like those of an intense workout, creating micro-tears in the muscle fibers and connective tissues.
To repair these micro-tears, your body naturally increases its collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep your organs, muscles, and connective tissue flexible and strong. The production of these proteins decreases as you age, but treatments like Emsella can work to reverse the effects. This restores strength to your pelvic floor, helping provide the support your bladder needs to avoid leaks all day, every day.

Stress Incontinence vs. Urge Incontinence
Did you know there are different types of urinary incontinence? While they both share some similarities, their causes and symptoms differ slightly.
Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence is caused by the stretching of the pelvic floor, often a result of age or trauma, like giving birth. This is why it is mostly women who experience stress incontinence. In these cases, patients experience uncontrolled leakage when sudden external pressure is placed on the pelvic floor, such as from laughing, sneezing, or jumping.
There are many treatments to treat stress incontinence, but one of the only noninvasive methods to restore strength to your pelvic floor is Emsella near Orlando.
Urge Incontinence
Unlike stress incontinence, urge incontinence is typically caused by an underlying health condition, like untreated diabetes or a neurological disorder. While our providers can use Emsella to treat some of the symptoms of urge incontinence, you will need to visit your primary care physician to address the main cause of incontinence. Symptoms are typically characterized by wetting yourself, having the urge when you hear water running, or having a difficult time urinating when you do go to the restroom.
The Treatment Process
Here is what you can expect when you come to Lumina for a treatment of Emsella near Orlando.
Consultation
You will first meet with one of our expert providers for a one-on-one consultation. They will listen while you describe your concerns and share details of your medical history. Additionally, they will ask specific questions about your symptoms to determine if you are experiencing stress incontinence or urge incontinence. Once they have a clear idea of your concerns, they will talk with you about your treatment options, including Emsella, and help you create your personalized treatment plan.
Treatment
Once you and your provider have determined that Emsella is right for you, you will begin treatment. While individual needs vary, most patients receive 4 to 6 sessions throughout their initial treatment regimen. For each session, you will sit in the Emsella chair, fully clothed, for 28 minutes while your pelvic floor receives the HIFEM energy and contracts rapidly. You may experience an odd sensation as your pelvic floor contracts and relaxes, but you should otherwise feel comfortable.
Results
Shortly after your first session of Emsella near Orlando, you may already begin to experience improvements in your urinary incontinence. You will continue to see improvement with each Emsella session, until you achieve your ideal results about 3 months after your last session. Most patients see their results last for about 1 year, and then they can return for maintenance sessions as needed.

Pre-Care and Post-Care Instructions
To achieve the best results possible with Emsella near Orlando, we recommend the following:
Pre-Care Instructions
- Arrive wearing thin, comfortable clothing.Thicker clothing can diminish the effects of the HIFEM energy and prevent your pelvic floor from experiencing the full intensity of the contractions.
- Hydrate well the day of your appointment. We recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces of water the day you receive Emsella.
- Bring some light reading to keep you entertained during your Emsella sessions. We do not recommend bringing electronic devices, since the electromagnetic energy produced by the Emsella chair can damage items like cell phones, smartwatches, and other electronics.
- Remove all jewelry and metal objects from your body. The HIFEM energy may interfere with metal, making treatment potentially dangerous. We also ask that you tell your provider if you have any metal or electronic implants in your body, including if you have an IUD.
Post-Care Instructions
- Continue drinking plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. This will help your pelvic floor muscles recover quickly.
- Take it easy for a couple of days after your appointment. Refrain from intense exercise or heavy lifting while your pelvic floor muscles recover.
- Make sure to schedule any additional Emsella appointments. We typically recommend getting 1 to 2 treatments of Emsella per week when you are receiving your first initial series.
Paired Treatments
Emsella pairs well with many treatments to improve your whole-body health and wellness. While your provider will help you determine the right treatment pairings for your needs, here is what we commonly pair with Emsella near Orlando.
Emfemme 360
Emfemme 360 is a vaginal rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency to increase your body’s natural production of collagen by 17% and elastin by 37%. This helps tighten the vaginal walls, improving symptoms of sexual dysfunction like dryness and painful intercourse. Our team really enjoys pairing Emfemme with Emsella since the pelvic floor works with the reproductive system, and each treatment can help improve the results of the other.
Emtone
Emtone combines mechanical energy with thermal energy from radiofrequency to target the appearance of cellulite. Because this treatment is also noninvasive, patients like to combine Emtone with Emsella to enjoy both internal and external improvements.
Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt NEO is a body sculpting treatment that combines radiofrequency and HIFEM energy to both build muscle and melt stubborn fat. The dual energy helps build up to 25% more muscle and melt up to 30% of fat in the targeted area. Patients enjoy combining Emsella with Emsculpt NEO because they both use HIFEM energy, delivering superior results using noninvasive methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you’re naturally curious about Emsella. Here, we can answer the most common questions we receive about Emsella from our patients.
Can Emsella help with sexual dysfunction?
Yes! While Emsella is originally designed to address urinary incontinence, it can also improve the function of your reproductive organs. This can help with pain during intercourse, lack of sensations, vaginal dryness, or difficulty maintaining an erection. However, if sexual dysfunction is your main concern, your provider might consider other treatment options that better suit your needs.
How does Emsella compare to other treatment options?
Other pelvic floor treatments often use invasive methods, like inserting a wand into the patient or using surgery to manually tighten the muscles that make up the pelvic floor. These methods are uncomfortable and can require more extensive downtime than Emsella does. At Lumina, we are dedicated to offering the latest technology like Emsella near Orlando to enhance your results as well as your experience throughout treatment.
Can’t I do Kegels every day instead of Emsella?
Kegels are a useful everyday exercise to maintain the strength of your pelvic floor, but when your muscles are already weakened, it is extremely difficult to do Kegels every day. To achieve the same results you would with Emsella, you would need to complete over 11,000 Kegels each day, which is unrealistic for many patients. Emsella helps by removing the human error factor, delivering exceptional results in simple, 28-minute sessions.

It’s Time to Feel Strong Again
Restoring strength to your pelvic floor doesn’t need to be difficult. You can determine if you should receive Emsella near Orlando by either using our virtual consultation tool or scheduling a one-on-one consultation with one of our expert providers.
