What Is EMSELLA®?
EMSELLA® is a non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate and strengthen the muscles responsible for bladder control and core stability. Think involuntary Kegel exercises. Kegel exercises are tough
to do properly and consistently, so this EMSELLA® does the work for you. It is FDA-cleared to treat urinary incontinence and is especially beneficial for women experiencing post-pregnancy pelvic floor weakness.
At Dauwe Plastic Surgery, EMSELLA® is available as a standalone treatment and is also included in our drainless tummy tuck and mommy makeover surgery packages to address not
only the cosmetic aspects, but also the functional impact of pregnancy.

What Are the Benefits of EMSELLA®?
EMSELLA® offers a range of functional and wellness benefits for women experiencing pelvic floor weakness, particularly after pregnancy or childbirth. Whether used on its own or as part of a post-surgical recovery plan, the treatment can enhance a woman’s comfort and overall quality of life.
- Strengthens weakened pelvic floor muscles
- Helps reduce or eliminate urinary incontinence
- Supports recovery after childbirth
- Enhances core stability and muscle tone
- Improves sexual wellness in some patients
- No surgery, pain, or downtime
- Can be performed fully clothed in under 30 minutes
For women undergoing a mommy makeover or drainless tummy tuck, EMSELLA® adds functional pelvic support to complement the aesthetic improvements of surgery.
How Does EMSELLA® Work?
During an EMSELLA® session, patients remain fully clothed while seated on a specialized chair that delivers powerful electromagnetic pulses to the pelvic region. These pulses stimulate thousands of deep muscle contractions in the pelvic floor — far more than what can be achieved through traditional Kegel exercises. Over time, this focused stimulation helps retrain and strengthen the muscles that support bladder control and core stability.
The treatment experience is often described as a series of rhythmic, involuntary muscle contractions. Although the sensation may feel unusual at first, it is not painful, and no anesthesia or recovery time is required. Each session lasts under 30 minutes, and a full treatment plan typically includes multiple visits spaced over several weeks followed by
maintenance treatments for optimal results.
EMSELLA® utilizes the same advanced technology found in EMSCULPT NEO®, which is used to build and tone larger muscle groups such as the abdomen and buttocks. While EMSCULPT NEO® focuses on external body shaping, EMSELLA® works internally to restore pelvic strength and function. Both are part of the non-surgical treatment offerings at Dauwe Plastic Surgery, designed to help patients feel stronger and more confident from the inside out.
At Dauwe Plastic Surgery, we incorporate EMSELLA® into select post-surgical treatment plans, such as for those recovering from a drainless tummy tuck or mommy makeover, to promote better functional outcomes and long-term wellness. The treatment is also available as a standalone option for those seeking non-surgical pelvic floor support.
How Long Do EMSELLA® Results Last?
Results from EMSELLA® can vary, but many patients begin to notice improvement in symptoms after the first few sessions. At Dauwe Plastic Surgery, we have seen patients’ urinary
Incontinence improve with a SINGLE treatment. A full treatment course typically includes 6 sessions spaced over 3 weeks.
The effects can last between 6 and 12 months. For ongoing support, maintenance treatments may be recommended, especially for women who have had children or experienced pelvic floor weakening due to aging.
Is EMSELLA® Covered by Insurance?
EMSELLA® is generally not covered by insurance, as it is considered an elective wellness treatment. However, at Dauwe Plastic Surgery, an EMSELLA® regimen is included at no extra cost for patients who undergo a drainless tummy tuck or mommy makeover, as part of our comprehensive approach to healing and recovery.
