Price comparison:
- Elyzea (Lima): S/200 per session (~$57 USD)
- United States (Emsculpt): $750 – $1,000 USD per session
- Savings vs. US prices: Over 92% — a full 6-session protocol at Elyzea (S/1,200 / ~$343 USD) costs less than a single Emsculpt session in the US
Note: Emsculpt is a registered trademark referenced only for price comparison purposes. At Elyzea, we use EMSbody, which employs the same high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation technology.
What Is EMSbody and How Does It Work?
EMSbody uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to induce supramaximal muscle contractions — contractions that are impossible to achieve through voluntary exercise. In a single 30-minute session, the device generates approximately 20,000 muscle contractions.
These supramaximal contractions force the muscle to adapt, producing two simultaneous effects:
- Muscle mass increase: Up to +16% increase in muscle density and volume
- Fat reduction: Up to -19% reduction in the fat layer over the treated area
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
EMSbody can be applied to the following body areas:
- Abdomen: The most popular zone — ideal for defining and strengthening the core
- Glutes: Lifting and toning without squats
- Arms: Toning biceps and triceps
- Legs: Strengthening quadriceps and calves
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
The recommended protocol is 4 to 6 sessions, spaced every 2 to 3 days. This rhythm allows the muscles to recover and grow between sessions.
- Initial protocol: 4 to 6 sessions over 2 to 3 weeks
- Visible results: From the second or third session
- Optimal results: 2 to 4 weeks after completing the protocol
- Maintenance: One monthly session to sustain results
Total investment for a complete protocol: $229 to $343 USD (S/800 to S/1,200) per zone — compared to $3,000 to $6,000 USD for the equivalent in the United States.
Combine EMSbody with Cryolipolysis
For superior body contouring results, many patients combine EMSbody with cryolipolysis. This combination is especially effective because:
- Cryolipolysis eliminates the localized fat layer
- EMSbody tones and defines the muscle underneath
- The combined result is a more defined, athletic body contour than either treatment achieves alone
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Ideal for: Active people who want to enhance their gym results, or those seeking muscle toning without intense exercise
- Post-partum: Excellent for recovering abdominal strength and tone after pregnancy (minimum 6 months post-partum)
- Athletic enhancement: Athletes looking to strengthen specific muscle groups
- Not recommended for: People with metallic implants, pacemakers, or who are pregnant

Frequently Asked Questions about EMSbody in Lima
How many sessions do I need and how often?
The standard protocol is 4-6 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart (non-consecutive), completed over 2-3 weeks. This rhythm lets the muscle recover and hypertrophy between sessions. A monthly maintenance session extends results.
When will I see visible results?
First changes are usually noticeable from the 2nd-3rd session (better tone, more definition). Optimal results show 2-4 weeks after completing the protocol, when the muscle hypertrophy response and fat reduction stabilize.
Does EMSbody replace the gym?
No. EMSbody is a complement, not a substitute, for exercise and nutrition. Patients who already train see faster, more dramatic results. Sedentary patients also benefit (postpartum, surgery recovery, time-constrained), but visible results are stronger when combined with moderate physical activity.
Which areas can be treated?
The most common zones are abdomen (most popular), glutes, arms (biceps, triceps), and legs (quads, calves). Each zone requires its own session protocol; you don't treat the whole body in one session.
Are there side effects or downtime?
No downtime — you return to activities immediately. The post-session sensation is similar to an intense workout: mild muscle soreness (DOMS) for 24-48 hours. No cuts, no bruising, no compression garments.
Who is not a candidate for EMSbody?
Contraindicated for people with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted electronic devices; metal implants in the target zone; during pregnancy; or with uncontrolled cardiac conditions. The free consultation evaluates specific contraindications.
Is EMSbody the same as Emsculpt?
Emsculpt is the original BTL Industries trademark. EMSbody is the platform name we use at Elyzea, based on the same HIFEM technology. The mechanism of action and protocols are equivalent; the Lima price is a fraction of US Emsculpt pricing.
Can I combine EMSbody with cryolipolysis?
Yes, and it's one of the most effective body-contouring combinations: cryolipolysis removes the localized fat layer (S/200/zone) and EMSbody tones the muscle underneath. Many patients do the cryolipolysis session first and then start the EMSbody protocol in the following weeks.
Is EMSbody appropriate for postpartum?
Yes, after 6 months postpartum and with medical clearance. It's especially useful for recovering abdominal tone and reducing mild diastasis. Not applied during active breastfeeding except case-by-case evaluation.
How much do I save vs Emsculpt in the US?
A complete series at Elyzea (4-6 sessions at S/200 each) is S/800-1,200 (~US$229-343). In the US, the same series with Emsculpt costs US$3,000-6,000. Average savings exceed 92%, with equivalent HIFEM mechanism.
EMSbody and EMS-based muscle stimulation
EMS-based body sculpting devices use high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation to induce thousands of supramaximal muscle contractions per session — far more than voluntary exercise can produce. The result over a series of sessions is measurable muscle hypertrophy in treated zones (abdominal, gluteal, arm, thigh) plus modest fat reduction. EMSbody is a complement to exercise and nutrition, not a substitute. Best candidates are patients already in reasonable shape who want enhanced definition in specific zones. At Elyzea the EMSbody platform is genuine, the protocol is matched to your specific goals at consultation, and pairing with cryolipolysis (for fat) or Morpheus8 (for skin tightening) produces stronger combined body-contouring results.
Why Elyzea is different in Lima
Three things separate Elyzea from most aesthetic-medicine providers operating in Lima and across Latin America. First, we use real, manufacturer-genuine equipment — not the Chinese imitations sold under similar-sounding brand names that flood the regional market. Whether the procedure involves a HIFU platform, a CO₂ laser, a Morpheus8 unit, a picosecond laser, or any other technology, the device is the genuine FDA-cleared (or equivalent) product, with manufacturer service contracts and original consumables. Second, an MD anesthesiologist is on-site for procedures that require it. Topical numbing alone is inadequate for many protocols at the depth or energy that actually delivers results; on-site anesthesia means we can run the protocol as designed without forcing patients to grit through pain or quietly reducing energy mid-procedure. Third, a full clinical setup includes a treatment room, an anesthesia bay with proper emergency equipment, a private recovery room where patients can decompress 30–60 minutes before leaving, and a dispensary that stocks post-procedure care products. Not a single-bed spa room.
For patients flying to Lima from the US, Canada, Europe, or other Latin American countries, this clinical infrastructure is the prerequisite — not a marketing add-on. When you're a medical tourist, you don't have a local primary-care doctor and you don't have family in the same time zone. The clinic itself has to be capable of handling whatever happens during and after the procedure, in real time.
What the free virtual consultation covers
The 45-minute free virtual consultation with Dra. Geldres is the starting point for any treatment plan. We review your goals in detail, your medical history including current medications and skincare routine, photos of the area or concern (taken with consistent lighting), and any prior aesthetic treatments and their outcomes. We then discuss realistic options for your specific case, what each delivers, what each does not, and what a sensible sequence looks like if multiple modalities are appropriate.
For medical-tourism patients, the consultation also covers travel logistics: trip length, hotel recommendations in Miraflores, what to bring, when to arrive relative to the procedure, and what to plan for the recovery window. The goal is that you arrive in Lima with a clear plan and no surprises — and the freedom to redirect or decline anything that isn't right for you. The consultation is genuinely free and does not commit you to anything.
