EMSCULPT® NEO in Orland Park & Elmhurst, IL

EMSCULPT is a noninvasive body contouring treatment designed to strengthen, tone, and define muscles using advanced high-intensity electromagnetic energy. Unlike treatments that focus primarily on fat reduction alone, EMSCULPT targets muscle contractions at an intensity that would be difficult — or even impossible — to achieve through exercise by itself. These powerful contractions help stimulate muscle growth and improve overall muscle tone in targeted areas of the body. During treatment, applicators are placed over areas like the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, or calves while the device delivers rapid muscle contractions in a comfortable office setting. Sessions are quick, require no anesthesia or downtime, and allow patients to return immediately to normal daily activities afterward. At many practices, EMSCULPT is a popular option for patients looking to complement a healthy lifestyle with a more sculpted, athletic-looking appearance without surgery or lengthy recovery.

EMSCULPT has become an increasingly popular body contouring treatment because it focuses on something many other nonsurgical treatments do not: strengthening and building muscle definition. Using high-intensity electromagnetic energy, EMSCULPT stimulates powerful muscle contractions that help tone and strengthen targeted areas while also supporting a leaner, more sculpted appearance overall. Some of the most appealing benefits associated with EMSCULPT treatment include:

• Improved muscle tone
• Enhanced body definition
• Stronger core muscles
• Nonsurgical body contouring
• No anesthesia required
• Little-to-no downtime
• Quick treatment sessions
• Athletic-looking enhancement

Because treatment is noninvasive and requires virtually no recovery time, many patients return immediately to work, errands, workouts, or other daily activities afterward.

EMSCULPT can be a great option for men and women who are already living a relatively healthy lifestyle but want help strengthening and defining certain areas that have not responded the way they hoped through exercise alone. It is especially appealing for patients looking for a nonsurgical option to improve muscle tone and body contours without downtime or invasive procedures. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your goals, medical history, body composition, and treatment areas to determine whether EMSCULPT may be appropriate for you. Signs you may be a candidate for EMSCULPT include:

• Weak muscle tone
• Difficulty building definition
• Postpartum abdominal weakness
• Desire for nonsurgical contouring
• Stable body weight
• Healthy lifestyle habits
• Good overall health
• Realistic treatment expectations

Patients with certain implanted electronic devices, metal implants in the treatment area, or active pregnancy may not qualify for EMSCULPT treatment.

EMSCULPT works by delivering high-intensity electromagnetic energy to targeted muscle groups, causing rapid supramaximal muscle contractions that are far more intense than what can typically be achieved during a traditional workout. These contractions force the muscles to adapt and strengthen over time, helping improve tone, firmness, and visible definition in the treated area. During treatment, applicators are secured over the target area while the device cycles through varying contraction intensities and patterns. Many patients describe the sensation as an intense workout without pain or discomfort. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs.

One of the reasons patients love EMSCULPT is because there is essentially no downtime after treatment. Most people are able to return to normal activities immediately afterward, though mild muscle soreness similar to what you might feel after a strenuous workout is common during the first day or two. Results develop gradually as the muscles continue adapting and strengthening over the weeks following treatment. Some patients begin noticing changes relatively quickly, while optimal definition and contour improvement often become more visible after completing a full treatment series. Depending on your goals, lifestyle, and activity level, maintenance sessions may also be recommended to help preserve results long term. Our team will discuss treatment expectations, recommended session schedules, aftercare guidance, and maintenance planning in greater detail during your consultation.

How long do EMSCULPT results last?
Results from EMSCULPT can last up to six months or longer. During your initial consultation at our Orland Park and Elmhurst, IL facilities, we can talk with you about what you can expect. Additionally, a series of treatments may be needed for optimal results.

Does EMSCULPT tighten skin?
EMSCULPT is beneficial for reducing unwanted fat, as well as helping to build muscle mass. It is not created to help tighten skin. However, if you are wanting to tighten skin or reduce the appearance of cellulite, you can talk with our team about additional treatment options.

How often should I receive EMSCULPT treatments?
In order to experience an ideal outcome, around six treatments may be desired. These can be spaced out about a few days apart. Additional treatments can be performed periodically after your initial series of procedures in order to help maintain results.

Are there individuals who should not do EMSCULPT?
There are some people who should consult with their provider before pursuing EMSCULPT. If you have any implanted metal or electronics in your body, including pacemakers, you may not be able to receive treatment. In addition, hernias and other severe muscle issues should be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

Can you overdo EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT works by producing muscle contractions. With that in mind, expect some contracting at the treatment site. But rest assured, you cannot overdue EMSCULPT in the same way that exercise or more invasive methods can be.

Can EMSCULPT be combined with other treatments?
To achieve more comprehensive results, EMSCULPT can be combined with other body contouring treatments, such as those that focus on skin tightening or additional fat reduction. During your consultation, we can create a personalized treatment plan that integrates EMSCULPT with complementary options for enhanced outcomes.
