The device has a built-in cooling system so your skin isn’t heated, just the fat underneath!

Sculpt Your Way to a Contoured Body
Want to melt away the muffin top but don’t have enough time for the gym? Looking to lose the little bumps and lumps but can’t seem to wrap your way to a smoother bod? Try Sentient Sculpt! We were the first in Chicago to have Sentient Sculpt, and we’ve continued to offer body sculpting in Lincoln Park with this wonderful device. It’s a non-invasive process, with no social downtime, no bruising, and no swelling.
It uses microwave heat technology to melt away fat tissue, fight the tough fibers that cause cellulite, and tighten skin! If you’re looking for a clinically proven path to a sculpted beach body, ask us about Sentient Sculpt.
Why We Love It
Goes the Extra Mile
Other body sculpting treatments either tighten skin or destroy fat cells. With Sentient Sculpt, you can destroy fat and cellulite without the issue of loose skin afterward–it also tightens your skin!
Multi-Tasker
Many people use Sentient Sculpt to target multiple areas per appointment, and it’s completely safe to do so. Other treatments can usually only treat one area at a time.
Painless
It’s pain-free during and after the session, there’s no recovery time or bruising, and it’s safe and effective on all skin types and tones! The device also has a built-in cooling system to increase your comfort during the sessions.
For the Science Babes
Sentient Sculpt uses microwave energy to create heat transfer underneath the skin. 80% of the device’s energy permanently destroys fat cells along with the fibrous bands in the dermis that cause those infamous cellulite dimples. The other 20% of its energy is directed to the upper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and causing it to contract and tighten. This treatment is highly effective on stubborn fat pockets all around the body.
The Play-by-Play
The Sentient Sculpt Process
Step 1
Consultation
For Sentient Sculpt, we require a consultation to talk about your concerns and what got you interested in this treatment. We’ll talk with you and determine what your goals are for body sculpting in Lincoln Park. Once we get a customized plan for you, we may also recommend combining body sculpting with another treatment for the best results. Even better, the minute you walk in to Shot Bar you’ll become one of our Hotshots!
Step 2
Treatment
We will ensure you are in a comfortable position before applying the Sentient Sculpt applicators. Patients treated with Sentient Sculpt find that the procedure is not painful and usually compare the sensation to a warm massage. We usually recommend 6 to 8 sessions per treatment area in most cases. However, this will really depend on your individual needs and goals, as some patients want more or less treatments depending on their results.
Step 3
Next Steps
There is no downtime or aftercare with Sentient Sculpt. However, we reccomend drinking lots of water and massaging the treated areas. For many patients, some visible skin tightening occurs immediately after treatment. However, your results will be most noticeable 30 days after your session and will continue to develop for up to 3 months. Fat and cellulite reduction can take 8 to 12 weeks to fully appear. We spread sessions out to one month apart so that you have time to see the results from your treatments.

Trust Us, Gorgeous
At Shot Bar, we don’t mess around. Lindsey Sikora, who started Shot Bar, has spent more than a decade nursing. Now, her experience helps her choose what treatments to offer. She always wanted a med spa like Shot Bar—one with originality, style, and scientifically proven treatments. We don’t believe that aesthetics and wellness treatments are always about pampering and relaxation. We’re about results that achieve a major glow-up.
Questions? We've Got The Answers
Some patients occasionally report mild side effects after treatment such as tenderness or warmth, but this doesn’t last long, and goes away after a few days. There’s no downtime or bruising, so you can get back to normal social activities right away!
