Emsella

Not at all. Emsella is completely non-invasive and doesn’t require any numbing, needles, or downtime. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of deep pelvic floor muscle contractions—it feels a bit like doing Kegels on autopilot. Some say it’s a little tingly or strange at first, but it’s never painful.

You’ll stay fully clothed and just relax in the Emsella chair during treatment. Read, scroll, or sip your iced coffee while the device does the work. It’s that easy.

Most of our Macon area patients see optimal results with a series of six Emsella treatments, typically spaced out over three weeks. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, and no preparation or recovery time is required,, so you can return to your day immediately afterward.

Think of it like a workout plan for your pelvic floor. Just as you wouldn’t expect to achieve six-pack abs after a single gym visit, consistency is key to achieving strong, lasting results with Emsella.

Most patients begin noticing improvements after just the first few Emsella sessions—some even feel a difference right away. However, the full results typically become more apparent after the completion of the full series of six treatments. Over the course of a few weeks, the pelvic floor muscles continue to strengthen, leading to reduced urinary leakage, better bladder control, and even enhanced sexual satisfaction.

The results continue to improve even after the final session, as your body builds on the muscle stimulation provided by each treatment.

Absolutely. Emsella can easily be paired with other wellness and aesthetic treatments for even better results. Many patients choose to combine Emsella with vaginal rejuvenation treatments like Votiva to target both internal and external concerns. This combo approach can help improve sexual wellness, bladder control, and overall confidence—all without surgery or downtime.

It’s also a great add-on to body contouring or skin-tightening treatments if you’re on a full-body glow-up journey. During your consultation with Dr. Groves, we’ll help you build a custom treatment plan that aligns with your goals, whether you’re focused on functional improvements, aesthetic results, or both.

Emsella is widely recognized for its excellent safety profile since it’s a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment designed to strengthen pelvic floor muscles without surgery or downtime. Because it uses electromagnetic energy rather than cutting or needles, the risk of serious complications is extremely low.

Some patients may experience mild side effects, such as temporary muscle soreness, slight tingling, or warmth in the treatment area, similar to how your muscles feel after a strenuous workout. These sensations usually go away on their own within a day or two. There is no risk of bleeding, infection, or anesthesia-related problems since none of these are involved.

Emsella isn’t going to be suitable for everyone—people with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant should avoid treatment. That’s why a thorough consultation with Dr. Groves is essential to confirm that Emsella is safe and appropriate for you.
