Book a consultation
Your body, your plan.
Body contouring is a non-surgical way to improve the shape and definition of specific areas.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. We combine cellulite smoothing, skin tightening, EMS muscle toning, lymphatic drainage and red and infrared light around your body and your goals.
Our integrative, all-in-one technology is exclusive in Chicago. Everything works together in one session, instead of separate visits:
- Lymphatic drainage with rhythmic suction
- Red & infrared light
- Contouring
You don’t need to know which treatment you need. In your consultation on Michigan Avenue, we listen, explain your options and build your plan, with no pressure.
Five ways to reshape and renew.
Tap each icon to explore.
Targeted contouring
Focuses on the areas that matter to you, to improve their shape and definition without surgery.
Cellulite smoothing
Red light therapy and lymphatic drainage support circulation and collagen for smoother-looking skin.
Skin tightening
Supports collagen and elastin for firmer-looking skin where it has started to loosen.
EMS muscle toning
Electrical muscle stimulation creates deep muscle contractions that may support toning, conditioning and a more defined contour.
Lymphatic & recovery
Lymphatic drainage helps ease the feeling of puffiness and supports circulation and your body’s natural flow.
Contouring starts with flow.
Your lymphatic system is your body's natural cleansing network. When it flows, your body releases excess fluid and the by-products of contouring more easily. When it is sluggish, you feel puffy, heavy and inflamed.
That is why lymphatic drainage, red and infrared light and a calm nervous system are the foundation of every contouring plan at Modern Wellness, never an extra.
Lymphatic drainage
Gentle, rhythmic suction follows your lymph pathways to move excess fluid, ease puffiness and support your body's natural detox. Before contouring, it prepares the tissue. After, it helps your body clear what the treatment released, so results can look smoother and more defined.
Red & infrared light
Red and near-infrared light reach the skin and deeper tissue across your whole body, face included. They support circulation and cellular energy and help calm the body's inflammation response, so you look brighter and feel lighter.
Nervous system reset
Slow, rhythmic suction under warm light guides your nervous system out of "fight or flight" and into "rest and digest", the state in which your body repairs and recovers best. Most clients leave deeply relaxed.
More than a regular massage.
| Regular hand massage | Modern Wellness lymphatic ritual | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Muscle tension | Lymphatic flow, fluid balance and inflammation |
| Technique | Deep kneading | Gentle, rhythmic suction that follows your lymph pathways |
| Light therapy | None | Red and near-infrared light, full body and face |
| Inflammation | Not the goal | Designed to calm the inflammation response |
| Nervous system | Relaxing in the moment | Guides the body into "rest and digest" to repair |
| Contouring | Not part of a plan | Prepares the body and supports your contouring results |

Our integrative, all-in-one technology is exclusive to Modern Wellness in Chicago. It brings lymphatic drainage with rhythmic suction, red and infrared light and contouring together in one session, with a whole-body approach that also supports your nervous system.
No. Body contouring focuses on the shape and definition of specific areas. If weight or metabolism is part of your goals, we offer medical weight management and metabolic tracking separately.
Your lymphatic system helps your body release excess fluid and the by-products of contouring. Gentle drainage before and after your sessions supports that natural flow, so results can look smoother and more defined.
A regular massage works on muscle tension. Our lymphatic ritual follows your lymph pathways with gentle, rhythmic suction, adds red and near-infrared light, and is designed to calm the inflammation response and your nervous system.
Red and near-infrared light reach the skin and deeper tissue across your whole body, face included. They support circulation and cellular energy and help calm the inflammation response.
Most treatments have little to none. We explain your aftercare before you start.
Most clients find sessions comfortable and relaxing. EMS feels like strong muscle contractions, and our team adjusts the intensity for you.
It depends on your goals and the treatments in your plan. Most clients see the best results with a series of sessions, set at your consultation.
Body contouring is the broad category. EMS is one muscle-stimulation treatment within it. Your consultation decides the right fit.
We may wait or suggest another option if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or implanted device, a history of blood clots, a heart or kidney condition, an active infection in the area, or are in active cancer treatment. Your provider reviews your history first.
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans through CareCredit, Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay and Cherry, so you can split the cost of your care over time. We also accept HSA and FSA cards. Our concierge team is happy to help you choose the option that works best for you.
980 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1379, on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago’s Gold Coast. We’re open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 7 pm.
