Millions of men and women struggle with their pelvic health, yet only 20% of people seek treatment for sexual dysfunction, and less than 50% get help for urinary incontinence. We recognize that opening up to someone about your intimate health can be intimidating, but we’re here to help.
At Success by Design, you’ll find support, not judgment.
You don’t have to commit to the cost, risks, and downtime of surgery to improve your pelvic health and reclaim your life. With Emsella, you can retrain your body to overcome embarrassing leaks and reignite your passion.
Whether you’re a new mother, a woman entering menopause, or a man battling prostate issues, here’s how the Emsella chair in St. Petersburg can help without so much as having to remove your clothes.
First, let’s take a look at what causes pelvic health issues, so we can understand how Emsella works to treat them.
What causes urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence (UI) can occur at any time, although your chances of developing incontinence increase with age, regardless of your gender. You start losing muscle mass at the age of 30—losing up to 5% every decade. As your pelvic floor muscles weaken, your bladder loses the support it needs to control urine release.
Without sufficient support, you can experience leaks when you cough, sneeze, or laugh (also called stress incontinence). Beyond aging, a range of other factors can trigger pelvic muscular atrophy, including:
- Cancer treatments
- Certain medications, such as diuretics
- Childbirth
- Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes
- Hormonal shifts, including menopause
- Obesity
- Surgeries such as prostatectomy (prostate surgery)
Keep in mind that there are multiple kinds of incontinence, including combinations, such as stress and overflow incontinence.
What causes sexual dysfunction?
Nearly half of women and over 30% of men experience some form of sexual dysfunction, from vaginal dryness and orgasmic disorders to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Dysfunction can occur at any stage of the sexual response cycle—desire (libido), arousal, orgasm, and resolution—for a range of reasons, including:
- Cancer treatments
- Certain medications, such as antidepressants
- Childbirth
- Chronic health conditions, including mental illnesses
- Hormonal imbalances
- Improper circulation
- Nerve damage
- Obesity
We focus on treating the root cause of sexual dysfunction. While Emsella is a solution for many patients, your provider may also recommend treatments such as medical weight loss or HRT in St. Petersburg.
The Anatomy of The Pelvic Floor
Many people suffer from urinary incontinence and sexual health issues simultaneously, as both can result from pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Even in cases where a patient only struggles with one of these conditions, it can affect their lives in other areas.
For example, many women with UI avoid sex because of anxieties about leaking or chronic lower back pain. In some cases, pelvic floor dystrophy can even lead to uterine prolapse—when the uterus descends through the vagina due to a lack of support.
Beyond the muscles, nerve damage can also impair your body’s communication signals responsible for controlling urination and arousal. The Emsella chair in St. Petersburg simultaneously builds your pelvic muscles back up, relieving pressure on the bladder and rectum, while calming irritated nerves and improving circulation—addressing both conditions.
Meet Emsella: A Chair That Does It All
Emsella is a breakthrough urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction treatment that emits high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy through a chair and into the pelvic floor. This energy triggers 12,000 pelvic muscle contractions in 28 minutes, performing intense Kegels for you to rebuild your muscles.

With no pain, no downtime, and even no need to remove your clothing for treatment, clinical studies show that the Emsella chair in St. Petersburg is improving the quality of men’s and women’s lives by 95%.
Beyond strengthening your pelvic muscles, Emsella also calms overactive nerves—going beyond what at-home exercises and even surgery can do for faster, more effective relief. The technology behind this FDA-approved device has been around for years, but scientists have made it smarter and stronger than ever. These unique magnets lift everything up, going beyond restoring bladder control to tighten the vaginal canal and improve sexual enjoyment for everyone.

What to Expect From the Emsella Chair
In St. Petersburg, we recognize that there are a lot of medical spas, but they aren’t all equal. At Success by Design, we have the medical expertise needed to personalize your care, maximizing your results from Emsella. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect, but remember, every patient’s journey is unique because every patient is unique.
Consultation
When you arrive for your consultation, our front desk staff will welcome you and help you get checked in and comfortable—our office is your home away from home. We’ll give you an assessment called the King’s Questionnaire to better understand your incontinence symptoms and how they affect your day-to-day life.
Then, you’ll meet privately with an experienced provider to openly discuss your pelvic health concerns and goals, as well as any other aesthetic and wellness goals you may have.

After reviewing your medical history, timeline, and budget, we’ll craft your personalized treatment plan and schedule your first appointment for our Emsella chair in St. Petersburg. It’s important to note that because Emsella uses magnetic energy, patients with metal implants are not candidates for Emsella treatments.
Core to Floor Treatments
Depending on your needs and goals, we may recommend pairing your Emsella treatments with Emsculpt NEO for “Core to Floor” therapy. Emsculpt NEO uses the same HIFEM energy to trigger muscle contractions, only in other areas, such as the arms, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Pairing Emsculpt with the Emsella chair in St. Petersburg strengthens your entire core rather than the pelvic floor alone.

This comprehensive approach goes beyond treating urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction to improve your balance and posture, prevent injuries, address diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and more.
Emsculpt NEO builds muscle while burning visceral fat to sculpt your physique—making you look and feel stronger. This treatment also helps you feel more confident in your physique, which can improve your confidence in the bedroom, too.
Treatment
When you arrive for your first Emsella treatment, we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect and answer any questions you have. Then, we’ll help you get comfortably seated on the Emsella chair before turning on the system and beginning your 28-minute session. While our patients find treatment comfortable, keep in mind that the machine offers adjustable settings so you can find a level that works best for you.

You will feel your muscles contract and possibly tingle, but treatment should never be painful. Feel free to bring a book to read or simply take some time for yourself while Emsella does the work!
Maintenance
After your Emsella treatment, you can immediately return to your routine. Some patients experience relief in as little as 3 weeks, but keep in mind that every session further strengthens your pelvic floor, gradually improving your results. While each patient’s plan is different, we typically recommend a series of 6 treatments for optimal results.
Once you’ve completed your recommended series of treatments, we’ll assess your progress by having you complete the same questionnaire from your consultation. If you’re satisfied with your results, we’ll help you plan your maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months—and your first maintenance session is complimentary!
We’re committed to keeping the care you deserve affordable, so we offer maintenance packages to discount your ongoing treatments, as well as a range of membership options.
Unlock Compassionate Expertise
While expertise is important when it comes to improving how you look and feel, you also need a provider with genuine compassion. At Success by Design, you don’t have to choose between the two! Here, you gain access to more than expertise—you unlock personalized care from experts invested in your success story.
Whether you’re interested in our Emsella chair in St. Petersburg or want to explore our other science-backed aesthetic and wellness solutions, we’re here to guide you. Whatever the best version of yourself looks and feels like, it’s not out of reach.
