Creating a stronger, sculpted figure requires time, energy, and patience. Many of our guests spend hours at the gym, learning how to lift weights properly and running countless miles on the treadmill. Others carefully craft regimented diet plans, maximizing protein and cutting back on calories.
But most of all, building your ideal body requires discipline. And when you don’t see results from your efforts, giving up can feel like the next-best option.
Our experts see all of your hard work, and we want to give you the boost you need to overcome plateaus. By pairing your wellness plan with Emsculpt NEO near Lincoln Park Chicago, you can achieve sustainable, lasting results.

How Does Emsculpt NEO Work?
Emsculpt NEO combines innovative treatment technologies to help guests strengthen targeted muscle groups and burn stubborn fat pockets.
First, Emsculpt NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, which creates intense muscle contractions. Over time, these contractions build stronger, more defined muscles. Emsculpt NEO can trigger up to 20,000 muscle contractions in one 30-minute treatment session—surpassing anything you could achieve during a regular workout session.
At the same time, Emsculpt NEO also targets unwanted fat pockets with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This energy gently warms and breaks down fat cells in your treatment area, which your body later flushes out via the lymphatic system.
Emsculpt NEO’s RF energy also boosts collagen production to tighten moderately loose areas of skin. As the body’s primary protein building block, collagen provides the skin with structure and support. Increasing collagen fortifies your skin on a cellular level, revealing better muscle definition from all the hours spent in the gym.
Our guests choose Emsculpt NEO for its versatility. This FDA-cleared body contouring device can strengthen muscles and burn fat in the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Love handles
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Biceps
- Triceps
- Calves
Who Are The Best Emsculpt NEO Candidates?
Emsculpt NEO isn’t just for bodybuilders or marathon-runners—it’s for everyday individuals who want to prioritize their health.
We recommend Emsculpt NEO to guests who need an extra push to achieve their wellness goals. Whether your workout plan stopped producing the results you want or you’ve hit a progress lull, our experts can help you get back on track with a personalized Emsculpt NEO treatment plan.

While Emsculpt NEO near Lincoln Park Chicago can help guests produce lasting muscle tone and reduce unwanted fat pockets, it’s not ideal for everyone. We recommend avoiding Emsculpt NEO if you have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or cancer. Our experts cannot use Emsculpt NEO on guests who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Be sure to consult your wellness specialist about alternative treatments if you have a metal or electronic implant. This includes pacemakers, joint replacements, and IUDs.
Creating Your Emsculpt NEO Treatment Plan
No two wellness journeys look the same, so our experts tailor your Emsculpt NEO plan to your unique fitness goals.
Emsculpt NEO applicators come in multiple sizes, designed to address both large treatment areas and smaller muscle groups. Your provider can help you determine which applicators best suit your needs during your initial consultation.
To begin customizing your treatment plan, you discuss your goals with a Lume team member. This conversation helps them gain a better understanding of your progress thus far and what you need to achieve your desired results.
From there, your wellness specialist provides recommendations based on your needs. This includes specific areas to treat, a recommended number of sessions, and other paired services that help you reach your goals.
Emsculpt NEO Treatment Process
Many guests describe the treatment process for Emsculpt NEO near Lincoln Park Chicago as simple, involving zero downtime or discomfort.
To start your treatment session, your provider straps the Emsculpt NEO applicators to your designated areas. Then, they tune the device’s frequency to reach an optimal setting.
Once treatment begins, you may feel vibrating, muscle contractions, and a warming sensation. You shouldn’t feel any pain at this time—many guests even compare this process to a relaxing massage.
Most Emsculpt NEO treatment sessions take 30 minutes to complete. We recommend a series of 6 sessions to strengthen your muscles and burn unwanted fat efficiently.
Sculpted Results at Lume
Our experts are proud to help you achieve your body contouring goals with Emsculpt NEO near Lincoln Park Chicago. Most guests notice a more sculpted shape within a few weeks after their final session, especially as the body continues to gradually flush out melted fat.

While Emsculpt NEO permanently removes fat cells, it cannot prevent new weight gain. Emsculpt NEO also cannot substitute for healthy lifestyle habits. For these reasons, we recommend continuing to follow a nutritious diet and adding regular exercise into your routine to prolong your Emsculpt NEO results. Your provider may also suggest additional treatment sessions to maintain your sculpted figure.
Answering Frequently Asked Questions
At Lume, we want our guests to feel fully informed before making a treatment decision. You deserve to understand your options so you can choose a treatment that best suits your needs.
Still searching for more information? Here are some answers to our guests’ most frequently asked questions about Emsculpt NEO near Lincoln Park Chicago.
Is Emsculpt NEO painful?
No, Emsculpt NEO is not painful, but you may experience mild muscle soreness immediately after your treatment session. Many guests compare this sensation to how they feel after an intense workout.
We recommend taking a break from your regular workout routine for a few days after your Emsculpt NEO session to allow your muscles to heal fully.
How do I prepare for treatment?
Although your Emsculpt NEO treatment session doesn’t require any specific preparations, we do recommend staying hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help your body better repair damaged muscle fibers and remove melted fat cells. We also recommend avoiding caffeine and large meals before treatment.
On the day of your treatment session, wear clothing that allows for easy access to your desired area. Remove all jewelry and metal accessories before your Emsculpt NEO appointment as well.
Will Emsculpt NEO help me lose weight?
While Emsculpt NEO can spot-treat stubborn areas of fat, it cannot create significant weight loss. Though you will see changes in your physique, most guests do not see major adjustments on the scale.
If your goal is to lose weight, we recommend scheduling a consultation to learn more about our Weight Optimization Program. This program helps guests manage their weight, regulate appetite, and improve metabolic health through weight loss injections. We recommend reaching out to your provider to learn how our weight loss clinic can help you reach your goals.
What other purposes does Emsculpt NEO serve?
Aside from body contouring, Lume also offers Emsculpt NEO for rehabilitative purposes. The FDA has cleared Emsculpt NEO to stimulate neuromuscular tissue for the following uses:
- Preventing disuse atrophy, or muscle shrinkage, due to inactivity.
- Re-educating muscles to restore normal movements after injury or illness.
- Maintaining or increasing range of motion.
- Preventing venous thrombosis, which occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow through your veins.
- Relaxing muscle spasms.
- Increasing blood circulation.
Emsculpt NEO near Lincoln Park Chicago can help you restore function and improve your quality of life. We recommend consulting with one of our wellness specialists for more information.
What other body contouring treatments does Lume offer?
In addition to Emsculpt NEO, we offer Exion for other body contouring needs.
The Exion Body applicator combines monopolar RF energy and targeted ultrasound to increase the body’s natural hyaluronic acid production. This substance keeps your skin hydrated and flexible. By increasing hyaluronic acid, Exion helps tighten and smooth the skin for a more sculpted figure. Exion also features a Face applicator, which can contour and rejuvenate the cheeks, neck, and jawline areas.
We may also recommend Emface to give your facial features a lift. By using high-intensity facial electrical stimulation (HIFES), Emface creates targeted facial muscle contractions to form a more contoured profile. It also sends RF energy deep within your skin, remodeling your tissues while increasing collagen production.
Your provider can help you determine which additional body contouring services to add to your treatment plan during your initial consultation.
