Frequently Asked Questions

How Emsella Works

The Emsella chair is a specialized device that emits focused electromagnetic pulses to your pelvic floor muscles. It triggers supramaximal muscle contractions that are virtually impossible to achieve on your own. The benefits of a treatment session is comparable to performing thousands of Kegels in minutes but with much greater intensity and effectiveness.

The Benefits

Our Emsella pelvic floor therapy in Des Moines is a life-changing treatment for many of our patients. It can lead to a wide range of improvements—all you have to do is sit and reap the benefits.

Here’s what makes the Emsella chair unique:

Noninvasive: Emsella doesn’t require any incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time. It’s a convenient option for people seeking pelvic floor improvement without taking invasive measures.

Efficient: Each session delivers thousands of contractions in just 30 minutes, making Emsella a highly efficient way to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.

Can Improve Confidence: By addressing your urinary incontinence and pelvic weakness, Emsella can help restore your confidence and quality of life. This means you can enjoy your daily activities without the stress of unexpected leaks.

Sexual Health: Emsella is a great option for both men and women looking for pelvic improvements in the bedroom. The strengthening effect it has on your muscles can lead to increased sensation and an overall more satisfying experience with intimate partners.

Incontinence: We understand how devastating incontinence can be on your health and well-being. Addressing these issues means more than just convenience—it’s how we can help you regain control of your body. Pelvic floor strengthening can improve: urinary leaking (including as a result of sneezing or coughing), overactive bladder, and improper bladder emptying.

How We Can Help

At Brightside Aesthetics, we provide personalized care and support throughout your Emsella journey. We can help you achieve optimal results and improve your muscle strength, bladder control, and overall pelvic health.
