Stop Letting Leaks Control Your Life
FDA-Cleared Treatment for Bladder Control
Millions of Women Experience This —You Don't Have to Live with It
If you leak when you laugh, sneeze, cough, exercise, or rush to the bathroom, you’re not alone.
Urinary incontinence is common, and many people delay discussing symptoms with a clinician.
You might:
- Avoid social activities because you’re worried about leakage
- Map out bathroom locations before leaving home
- Wear pads “just in case”
- Stop exercising because jumping or running causes leaks
- Notice symptoms after pregnancy, childbirth, or around menopause
Bladder leakage should not be dismissed as inevitable. A clinical evaluation can help identify contributing factors and appropriate options.
CoreLift is a noninvasive, fully clothed option that uses FDA-cleared EMSELLA technology to stimulate pelvic-floor muscle contractions. Suitability and individual results vary.
Men Face These Challenges Every Day—You Don't Have to
If you leak urine, experience urgency, or notice reduced pelvic-floor control, you’re not alone.
Many men experience urinary-incontinence and pelvic-floor concerns—yet delay discussing symptoms because they feel embarrassed or are unsure where to turn.
You might:
- Notice urine leaks when you cough, lift, or exercise
- Feel a sudden, difficult-to-delay urge to urinate
- Make frequent bathroom trips
- Experience urinary incontinence after prostate surgery or treatment
- Avoid work, exercise, or social activities because of bladder concerns
Pelvic-floor concerns are common and worth discussing with a qualified clinician.
CoreLift uses FDA-cleared EMSELLA technology to stimulate pelvic-floor muscle contractions while you remain fully clothed. Dr. Tess will assess whether this option may be appropriate for urinary incontinence associated with pelvic-floor weakness. Individual results vary.
What Is CoreLift Pelvic Health Treatment?
CoreLift uses EMSELLA technology—an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that strengthens your pelvic floor muscles using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy.
Think of it as a super-charged workout for your pelvic floor—except you just sit down, fully clothed, while the chair does the work.
How EMSELLA Works
Your consultation will review pricing, suitability and the recommended number of sessions.
The Science
- You sit fully clothed on the EMSELLA chair
- The chair uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate pelvic-floor muscles
- The treatment produces repeated pelvic-floor muscle contractions
- A typical plan may include six sessions based on clinical assessment
- Individual response and bladder-control improvement vary
Concerns We Evaluate
- Stress Incontinence: Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, cough, jump, exercise
- Urge Incontinence: Sudden, intense need to urinate; frequent bathroom trips
- Mixed Incontinence: Combination of stress and urge incontinence
- Pelvic Floor Weakness: After childbirth, menopause, aging, or prostate treatment
- Male Urinary Incontinence: Bladder leakage or urgency, including after prostate treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
CoreLift Pelvic Health Questions Answered
Q: Does EMSELLA really work, or is it just hype?
A: EMSELLA is FDA-cleared and uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to stimulate pelvic floor muscle contractions. Individual results vary. Dr. Tess will assess whether it is appropriate for you and discuss realistic expectations.
Q: Is the treatment painful?
A: Sensations vary. You may feel tingling and strong pelvic-floor contractions during treatment. Intensity is adjusted during the session, and you should tell Dr. Tess if you feel uncomfortable.
Q: Do I have to undress?
A: No. Treatment is performed while you remain fully clothed. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid metal in the treatment area. The team will provide any additional instructions.
Q: How long does each session take?
A: A typical EMSELLA session takes about 28 minutes. Follow the preparation and aftercare guidance provided by Dr. Tess; most people resume usual activities afterward.
Q: How many sessions do I need?
A: A typical plan may include six sessions, often scheduled about twice weekly. The recommended number and schedule depend on Dr. Tess’s assessment and your response.
Q: When will I see results?
A: Response and timing vary. Some people notice changes during a treatment course, while others may need more time or a different plan. Dr. Tess will review your response without promising a particular result or timeline.
Q: How long do results last?
A: How long any improvement lasts varies by person, symptoms, health factors, and follow-through. Dr. Tess will reassess your response and discuss whether follow-up care or another option is appropriate.
Q: Can I do this if I've never had children?
A: Yes! While childbirth is a common cause of pelvic floor weakness, women who’ve never had children can also experience incontinence due to aging, menopause, genetics, weight, or high-impact activities.
Q: What if I've already been through menopause?
A: Menopause does not automatically rule out an evaluation. Hormonal and age-related changes can affect pelvic tissues and bladder control. Dr. Tess will assess your urinary symptoms, suitability, and realistic expectations; individual results vary.
Q: Can men use EMSELLA?
A: Yes. Adult men may be evaluated for urinary incontinence, including leakage after prostate surgery or treatment. Dr. Tess will assess suitability, and individual results vary.
Q: Is there anyone who shouldn't do CoreLift?
A: Screening is required. Tell Dr. Tess if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, have metal or electronic implants (including a pacemaker), a tumor or cancer history, a heart disorder, recent surgery, or other significant medical conditions. Dr. Tess will determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Q: Can I do this if I have a prolapse?
A: EMSELLA is not promoted here as a treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. Prolapse symptoms require a clinical evaluation. Depending on the findings, Dr. Tess may recommend another treatment, pelvic-floor physical therapy, or referral to gynecology or urogynecology.
Q: What should I wear to my appointment?
A: Treatment is performed while you remain fully clothed. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid metal in the treatment area. The team will give you any additional preparation instructions.
Q: Will it make me have to pee during treatment?
A: Sensations vary and may include tingling, contractions, or temporary bladder awareness. You may be asked to use the restroom before treatment for comfort. Tell Dr. Tess about any urgency, leakage, or discomfort during the session.
Q: Can I exercise after treatment?
A: Most people resume their usual activities after a session. Follow any individualized instructions from Dr. Tess, especially if you have discomfort, recent surgery, or another medical concern.
Q: Does insurance cover EMSELLA?
A: EMSELLA is typically not covered by insurance because it is often considered an elective treatment. HSA/FSA eligibility depends on your plan. Ask about the Garcia Care Payment Plan for eligible services; availability, approval, and written terms vary.
Q: What if it doesn't work for me?
A: Results vary. If your symptoms do not improve as expected, we will review your response and discuss appropriate next steps, which may include additional evaluation or referral to pelvic floor physical therapy or a specialist.
Q: Can I bring someone with me to the appointment?
A: Absolutely, if that makes you more comfortable. However, the treatment itself is completely private and non-invasive—many patients come alone.
