When incontinence strikes, Dr Refresh has the solutions you need for relief. The pelvic floor is a muscle group just like any other, and when it weakens from aging or pregnancy, it disrupts your ability to control urination or enjoy intimate health. For men, increasing strength in this area can lead to greater blood flow and increase sexual performance. Thanks to innovations in body technology, we can non-invasively treat incontinence and erectile dysfunction through pelvic floor strengthening.
To find your intimate wellness, we offer gentle laser rejuvenation and the Emsella chair in Ultimo to bring you back to your old self, but even better. You can complete these treatments in under 30 minutes, making them convenient for any lifestyle. Plus, there is no downtime, so you can get right back to what matters most to you after your appointment.

Step 1: Consultation
Before receiving treatment at Dr Refresh, we ask that our patients come in for a consultation to meet with Dr Ritu Gupta or her associate dermatologists, who are specialist medical and cosmetic dermatologists, or one of her nurses and therapists. At this consultation in Ultimo, we want to hear from you and learn more about your concerns. We take this time to develop a treatment plan and determine which of our pelvic floor strengthening options are right for you.
Step 2: Pelvic Floor Strengthening
Your experience will differ at your appointment depending on the type of treatment you receive. For laser rejuvenation, you may lie down on the treatment table while the probe gently treats the area. For Emsella, you’ll sit in the chair fully clothed while the device strengthens your pelvic floor. Regardless of which procedure you get, the appointment generally takes 10 to 30 minutes.
Step 3: Follow-Up
Our patients typically complete several appointments for the most success. You’ll notice an improvement in incontinence and intimate health after the first session, but your results will continue to get better with more treatments!
CO2 Laser Rejuvenation
We use a CO2 laser probe to gently and painlessly treat the vaginal walls for increased tightness and strength.
Emsella
Patients can sit in the Emsella chair, without needing to remove any clothing. The device sends high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) pulses to strengthen the pelvic floor in a 28-minute session.

Are your treatments for pelvic floor strengthening painful?
Not at all. Both of our procedures are completely painless. You may feel the heat from the laser, but it will not be intense enough to hurt. With our Emsella chair in Ultimo, you will feel the muscle contractions, but there is no pain involved from the electromagnetic energy.
Are there any side effects after undergoing these treatments?
Side effects from these procedures are very minimal. Patients may experience some soreness and fatigue in the treatment area, but it will not be painful or interfere with your normal activities.
How long do the results of pelvic floor therapy last?
Results from our pelvic floor treatments last for years. Because the pelvic floor is a muscle, it does need regular strengthening to keep up your results. You can get the longest results by keeping up with your Kegel exercises and returning for maintenance appointments in Ultimo.
Dr Ritu Gupta founded Dr Refresh to create a practice that combines medical expertise and cosmetic dermatology. Every treatment at our practice is performed by Dr Ritu, her associate dermatologists, or her exceptionally trained and skilled clinicians who take the time to understand you and your concerns. We ensure the highest quality of outcomes through the highest quality of treatments, technology, and talent.
