EMtone Technology, understanding this non-invasive cellulite treatment.

The EMtone treatment is a non-invasive procedure designed to slim the body's contours and correct the orange peel appearance of the cellulite. The various technologies used, including monopolar radiofrequency and shock waves, ensure the synergy of physiological effects produced simultaneously. It simultaneously combines thermal and mechanical energy to address the main factors causing cellulite. This technique is appreciated for its relatively short treatment time and significantly satisfying results. Moreover, the EMtone technology allows targeting all types of cellulite, adipose, aqueous, or fibrous. It helps to reduce cellulite and improve the texture and elasticity of the skin.

EMtone establishes itself as the leading method for reducing, or even eliminating cellulite and for treating skin laxity. All phototypes (I to VI) and all body shapes can utilise this method, with no imposed BMI limit.

This 2-in-1 device is designed to generate waves to enhance the thermal effect of monopolar radiofrequency. The fibrous partitions (septa fibres), the connective tissue bands that link the skin to deeper structures such as muscles, are dissociated due to the combined mechanical action of these two technologies. Indeed, the aim is to increase the thermal fragility of the septa fibres, particularly when the local temperature reaches 42°C, the threshold at which the structure of the collagen becomes more sensitive to denaturation. This does not completely destroy the collagen, but makes it more fragile, which stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin fibres. To achieve this effect, radiofrequency waves penetrate deeply into the dermis and the superficial fat layer, where they generate controlled hyperthermic energy. Maintaining this temperature triggers several mechanisms such as the denaturation of the existing collagen, promoting a gradual remodelling of the skin, the release of fats encapsulated in the fibrous bridges and the improvement of skin elasticity.

A study conducted on 30 women with cellulite on their buttocks demonstrated the effectiveness of this treatment. The patients received four weekly sessions of 24 minutes each, targeting the buttock region. Prior to each treatment, a conductive cream was applied to the specific areas. A skin temperature of 45°C was reached just 90 seconds after the session began. The mechanical treatment then stimulated the tissues, similar to an intensive massage. The study took place over a three-month period, with photographic tracking of the results' progression. The level of clinical improvement was evaluated by specialists using a scale from 0 to 4. The results showed that the cellulite had been significantly improved thanks to the protocol combining radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy. The average clinical improvement score was 2.17, corresponding to a moderate improvement after three months of treatment. Furthermore, 93% of the patients showed a visible reduction in cellulite. However, due to the small number of participants, these results should be interpreted with caution.

The initial stage of the procedure involves identifying the area to be treated and positioning the applicator along the contours. Once the device is activated, the temperature swiftly rises to reach 42°C in just 90 seconds. The practitioner is then able to adjust the device in real time to ensure the session proceeds under optimal conditions.

EMtone is designed to tackle embedded cellulite in various parts of the body. Indeed, this device can address cellulite on the buttocks, abdomen, arms, hips, or thighs. During the session, the client experiences warmth in the treated areas. The sensations are akin to those felt during a hot stone massage session, but with mechanical vibrations for a massaging effect.

The duration of the session varies from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area to be treated. On average, the treatment includes between 4 and 6 sessions spaced a week apart. You may notice progress from the first intervention. The results improve over the course of the sessions. The treatment does not cause pain or side effects. Therefore, your usual activities can resume at the end of each session.
