Emtone

EMTONE is the first of its kind, non-surgical cellulite treatment. Other popular devices used today tend to either tighten the skin or reduce excess fatty tissue. To achieve the goal of cellulite reduction, one would have to undergo several of each type of treatment. EMTONE achieves this goal by combining relevant energetic and mechanical modalities.

What is Emtone?

Emtone is a no-downtime, no pain, in-office procedure used for cellulite treatment. Clinical studies have also demonstrated Emtone’s usefulness in treating looseness of the skin. Emtone is FDA-cleared as a massage device for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. It also provides heating for the purpose of raising tissue temperature for selective medical conditions, the relief of pain, muscle spasms, and to increase local circulation. Emtone is completed as a series of sessions and gently warms the skin to encourage collagen growth and improve skin texture.

How does Emtone work for cellulite and skin tightening?

Emtone is a combination device that simultaneously delivers monopolar radiofrequency device and pressure wave therapy to the skin. Specialized, safe electrical energy is delivered by the Emtone handpiece to the skin. A grounding pad, usually placed on one’s back during the treatment, ensures safe delivery of the radiofrequency. At the same time, the Emtone device emits acoustic waves that disrupt and stimulate the skin.

During treatment, radiofrequency energy flows from the treatment tip to the skin, warming the skin to approximately 42 to 44 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, collagen undergoes structural changes. Over a period of weeks to months following treatment, new collagen growth is encouraged, leading to improvement in skin texture, laxity, and cellulite.

What areas can be treated with Emtone?

Emtone is FDA-cleared for temporary cellulite improvement and increasing the local circulation. Emtone can be used on many areas affected by these conditions. Common areas of Emtone treatment include those affected by cellulite or skin laxity. These include the buttocks, posterior and front of thighs, knees, upper arms, and abdomen.

How does a Emtone treatment feel? Does Emtone hurt?

Emtone is a well-tolerated procedure that requires no anesthesia. Treatment to a single area takes approximately 12-15 minutes. Emtone treatment is well tolerated and feels like a hot stone massage. During treatment, the Emtone handpiece glides over the skin with the help of a conductive and moisturizing lotion. Continual, circular movement of the Emtone handpiece and internal safety mechanisms ensures that no area of skin becomes hot or uncomfortable.

How many Emtone treatments are recommended?

Emtone treatment consists of an initial series of 4 treatments. They are performed twice a week over 2 weeks. Occasional maintenance treatments are recommended periodically (usually every 6-12 months) to maintain results.

Who is a good candidate for Emtone?

Emtone improves skin laxity, which typically develops in patients in their 30s-50s. Patients with relatively good skin elasticity or “spring back” respond more readily to treatment. Younger patients may have more dramatic responses to Emtone treatment. Patients with poor skin texture may have more modest results or require more frequent treatments. Anyone seeking skin tightening or mild body contouring of stubborn areas of fat without surgery may benefit from Emtone.
