Emsella
Alpharetta, GA
Emsella is an FDA-approved therapy and non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.
One 28-minute Emsella session causes thousands of supramaximal contractions—doing the work of about 11,000 Kegel exercises—to help patients find a non-invasive solution for bladder control. It is a simple, non-invasive way to rebuild the muscular support your body needs so you can regain control of your daily life without worrying about the nearest bathroom.
At RenuGyn, your care is led by Dr. Peahen Gandhi, a triple board-certified specialist with nearly 20 years of experience in women’s health. She uses Emsella to restore neuromuscular control to the weak pelvic muscles that support your pelvic organs. As an expert urogynecology surgeon, she realizes not everyone is a candidate for or desires surgery. That’s why offering non-surgical, non-invasive alternatives is important. When you visit our Alpharetta office, you aren't just getting a new treatment; you are getting an expert evaluation from a doctor who understands how your hormones and anatomy work together to affect bladder control.

You are likely a good candidate if you want to improve bladder control or sexual health but are looking for a non-surgical alternative to pelvic floor therapy. Dr. Gandhi prioritizes women's health and will only recommend this Emsella treatment if it is a healthy fit for your medical history. You are likely not a candidate if you have metal implants, such as pacemakers, copper IUDs, or certain hip replacements, because the high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy can interfere with these objects. We also do not perform this treatment while you are pregnant, and certain intimate health conditions or blood-clotting disorders in the treatment area will also disqualify you from the procedure.
Your treatment begins with a private consultation where Dr. Gandhi reviews how weak pelvic muscles may be affecting your daily life. During this meeting, we will discuss your treatment options and establish a customized schedule of six sessions to ensure you achieve optimal results.
To prepare for your Emsella session, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing. Because the Emsella chair uses electromagnetic energy, you will need to remove all jewelry and electronic devices and ensure no metal objects are in your pockets. No other special physical preparation is required for you to sit comfortably and begin restoring your pelvic health.
Sitting on the chair feels like a rhythmic, intense tingling or a "tapping" feeling throughout the pelvic floor. It isn't painful, but it is a unique sensation because the HIFEM technology causes powerful contractions that you cannot achieve on your own. Our team will adjust the intensity to make sure each session is effective while you sit comfortably and relax.
There is no recovery time at all, you are ready to return to your routine as soon as the session ends. You can go straight back to work, run errands, or head to the gym without any soreness or physical restrictions affecting your well-being.
Even though you don't need rest, we suggest drinking extra water after your session to help your muscles recover from the intense, involuntary workout.
Most women suffering from incontinence start to notice a real difference in their bladder control after just a few sessions, with the best results showing up a few weeks after the full series of six treatments is completed. You may notice you aren't dealing with embarrassing urine leakage as often within the first two weeks, and these results typically last for months. To maintain muscle tone and keep your pelvic floor muscles support strong, we usually suggest a "top-off" session once or twice a year.
If you are ready to stop planning your life around bladder leaks, the team at RenuGyn is here to help. Contact us at (470) 458-9705 or use our online form to schedule your appointment.
