Pelvic floor health is a topic that has been overlooked for far too long, yet it affects millions of men and women in profound ways. From urinary incontinence and reduced sexual satisfaction to core instability and lower back pain, a weakened pelvic floor can significantly impact quality of life. Emsella, available at Total Body Aesthetic in Westchester, Los Angeles, is a groundbreaking treatment that is reshaping the conversation around functional wellness by offering a completely non-invasive solution to pelvic floor dysfunction.

For patients throughout the 90045 zip code and surrounding communities like Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, El Segundo, Culver City, and the South Bay, Emsella provides a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles without the need for surgery, medication, or even removing your clothes. It is a treatment that addresses a deeply personal concern with clinical precision and remarkable results.

Understanding the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that forms a hammock-like structure at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, uterus (in women), prostate (in men), and rectum. They play a critical role in urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability. When these muscles weaken, whether from childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, surgery, or chronic strain, the consequences can range from mild inconvenience to significant disruption of daily life.

Traditional approaches to pelvic floor strengthening, such as Kegel exercises, require consistent effort and proper technique to be effective. Many people perform Kegels incorrectly or cannot isolate the correct muscles, limiting the benefits. Emsella solves this problem by using electromagnetic technology to stimulate the entire pelvic floor musculature with thousands of contractions per session, ensuring comprehensive and effective strengthening.

How Emsella Works

Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce deep pelvic floor muscle contractions. During a treatment session, you simply sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair while the device delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions to the pelvic floor muscles. A single 28-minute session produces approximately 11,200 contractions, the equivalent of performing thousands of Kegel exercises with perfect form.

These intense contractions stimulate the pelvic floor muscles to rebuild strength, improve tone, and restore neuromuscular control. Over the course of a typical treatment plan of six sessions over three weeks, patients experience significant improvements in pelvic floor function. The treatment is completely non-invasive and requires no preparation, no undressing, and no recovery time.

Conditions Emsella Can Address

Emsella is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence, including both stress incontinence (leaking during physical activities like coughing, sneezing, or exercising) and urge incontinence (the sudden, intense need to urinate). Beyond incontinence, many patients report improvements in sexual satisfaction, core stability, and overall confidence after completing their Emsella treatment series.

Women who have experienced childbirth, menopause, or hormonal changes often find Emsella particularly transformative. Men dealing with post-prostatectomy incontinence or age-related pelvic floor weakness also benefit significantly from the treatment. At Total Body Aesthetic, we approach pelvic floor health as an integral component of overall functional wellness, not just a cosmetic concern.

What to Expect During Treatment

An Emsella session at Total Body Aesthetic is remarkably simple and comfortable. You arrive, sit on the Emsella chair fully clothed, and the treatment begins. Most patients describe the sensation as a tingling feeling combined with pelvic floor contractions that intensify throughout the session. The treatment is not painful, and many patients read, check their phones, or simply relax during the 28-minute session.

There is absolutely no downtime after Emsella. You can return to all normal activities immediately, including exercise. Most patients notice improvements after their third or fourth session, with optimal results achieved after completing the full six-session protocol. Maintenance sessions every few months can help sustain the benefits long-term.

The Functional Wellness Connection

At Total Body Aesthetic, we view Emsella as more than just a treatment for incontinence. It is a functional wellness tool that supports the foundational muscles of the body. A strong pelvic floor contributes to better posture, improved core strength, enhanced athletic performance, and greater confidence in everyday activities. By strengthening these essential muscles, Emsella helps patients live more active, uninhibited lives.
