We strive to provide a wide array of wellness services to our patients at Refresh at Dr. Monica Scheel. In addition to our medical & cosmetic services, we are now offering a break-through pelvic floor physiotherapy treatment in-office.
The Emsella (EMS) Chair is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that can help treat a number of things:
- Urinary incontinence for both men and women
- Stress incontinence for mothers following childbirth / postpartum pelvic laxity
- Decreased sexual satisfaction for women
- Pelvic floor weakness
How the EMS Chair Works:
The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic floor organs and control continence. However, natural body aging, childbirth and menopause can cause this group of muscles to decondition resulting in continence problems such as leaking urine when coughing or sneezing.
The BTL EMSELLA treatment uses High Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to stimulate and strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles, not just the subset that can be exercised with voluntary contractions (Kegel exercises). These stronger pelvic floor muscles restore continence and the confidence to enjoy normal daily activities without fear of losing bladder control.
During each 28-minute session you sit comfortably on the Emsella chair while it generates thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions. Each session is equivalent to doing 11000 pelvic floor exercises but without the hard work!
The procedure is non-invasive, and you remain fully clothed throughout. No drugs are required and the most you will feel is a slight tingling during the treatment. With no recovery time needed you can leave immediately after each session and resume normal daily activity.
The majority of people need a course of six sessions over a period of three weeks to see optimum results, with most people seeing and feeling results after just two or three treatment sessions.

Is it painful?
The patient will feel strong pelvic contractions — this is the intended effect. They should not feel pain. The abdomen, glutes, and thighs should remain relaxed; contractions occur passively in the pelvic floor.
When will I start seeing results?
Improvement may begin after 3–4 sessions. Optimal results are typically seen after completing the full series. Maintenance sessions every 1–3 months are recommended depending on ongoing symptoms.
What is the downtime after treatment?
There is no downtime required after treatment. Patients may return to normal activities immediately. Encourage hydration and remind them to adhere to their treatment schedule.
