How the RF contouring works
Radiofrequency (RF) in this service uses gentle heat to target the skin and the tissue beneath it. At Emerald Ivory Wellness Spa we pair that thermal effect with a contouring approach to focus on stubborn areas that diet and exercise have not shifted. The procedure aims to smooth and firm the look of those areas without promising a specific clinical outcome.
Because the treatment targets surface and sub-surface tissue, the immediate sensation is usually warmth across the treated zone. The single session is designed as an introductory experience: it lets you feel the device, observe any initial change, and decide whether to pursue additional sessions or a multi-session package based on your own goals and tolerance.
During your single session appointment
A typical appointment begins with a brief review of the area you want treated and a targeted plan for that visit. The clinician moves the applicator over the chosen spot, delivering controlled RF energy and contouring attention across the skin and underlying tissue. The appointment length is 60 MINUTES, and staff can adapt timing to fit busy Lake View schedules before or after work and transit commutes.
Clients commonly report a warm, tingling sensation rather than sharp pain; technicians adjust intensity for comfort. After the session you can usually return to normal activities, though your provider will give specific aftercare guidance. The spa’s location near the Belmont CTA station and Southport Corridor makes it practical to combine treatment with errands, dining, or a walk along the Lakefront Trail.
Choosing one session or package
A single session is a low-commitment way to evaluate whether RF contouring feels effective and comfortable for you. The one-time fee is $110, which gives you a hands-on sense of the treatment’s sensation and any early visual changes. If you like the results and tolerance, the technician can discuss multi-session packages to pursue more cumulative change, though outcomes vary and are not guaranteed.
Local lifestyle factors — tight professional schedules, transit-oriented commuting, or plans near Wrigley Field — often shape the decision to start with a single visit. Many clients in Lincoln Park, North Center, and surrounding neighborhoods book a trial session around work or weekend plans to see whether the treatment integrates with their routine before committing to additional appointments.
