At Elysium Chicago Aesthetics + Longevity, we offer Emsculpt®, a groundbreaking, non-invasive body contouring treatment that simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat. Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, Emsculpt® triggers powerful muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary exercise. The result is a more sculpted, toned physique — without surgery, sweat, or downtime.

Overview
What Is Emsculpt®?
Emsculpt® is the first FDA-cleared device to build muscle and reduce fat — simultaneously. It works by delivering focused electromagnetic pulses to the targeted muscle group, forcing the muscles to contract at an intensity far beyond what can be achieved through normal exercise.
One 30-minute session can generate the equivalent of 20,000 crunches or squats, helping to build lean muscle, burn localized fat, and enhance tone and strength. It’s the perfect solution for those looking to complement their fitness routine or jumpstart visible body transformation.
Emsculpt® Benefits
- Builds and defines muscle mass
- Burns stubborn fat in targeted areas
- Completely non-invasive and pain-free
- No needles, no downtime
- Fast 30-minute treatments
- Results visible after just a few sessions
- Ideal complement to diet and fitness
Treatment
What You Can Expect
Personalized
Consultation
Your provider will evaluate your goals, fitness level, and body composition to develop a treatment plan. Most clients complete 4–5 sessions, spaced 2–3 days apart, for optimal results.
Comfortable
Treatment
You’ll lie comfortably as the applicator is placed on the treatment area. The machine delivers strong, rhythmic muscle contractions for 30 minutes. The sensation is intense but not painful — like a powerful workout.
Sculpted
Results
You may feel mild soreness, similar to a post-workout effect, for a day or two. Results begin to appear within 2–4 weeks, with peak results visible 8–12 weeks after your final session. Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months can help preserve your new physique.
