Emsella Chair in North Liberty

Once you arrive for your appointment, our friendly staff will guide you to your private treatment room. You will then sit in the Emsella chair while fully clothed. Once you are ready, your healthcare professional will start the treatment process.

The chair will use HIFEM to stimulate deep muscle contractions in your pelvic floor. These contractions equate to 11,000 to 12,000 Kegels in one session. During your first treatment, you will feel an intense tingling in your perineum. However, patients report that it gets more comfortable as sessions go on.

Our Emsella chair in North Liberty can provide a wide range of benefits for symptoms of weakened pelvic floor muscles.

• Improved Bladder Control
• Enhanced Sexual Wellness
• Noninvasive Treatment
• No Downtime
• Quick & Comfortable
• Long-lasting Results

The number of Emsella treatments you will need varies greatly depending on the severity of your symptoms and your healthcare goals. Generally, patients need between 6 and 12 sessions over the course of 2 to 3 months to get the best results. Each session lasts about 30 minutes and has no downtime after.

After your initial series of treatments, you may notice improvements in your bladder control and pelvic health. To ensure the longevity of your results, we recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment 6 months after you finish treatment. Your doctor will be able to assess the results of treatment and discuss if you need any further treatment.

Being properly prepared ensures you get the most out of your treatment at Iowa Wellness Center. We do have a list of instructions that are important to know about before your Emsella treatment.
