Understanding Cellulite
Cellulite is a common skin condition with a dimpled appearance, often seen on the buttocks, thighs, and other areas. It occurs when fat becomes trapped under the skin, between fibrous tissues connecting the skin to deeper body tissues.
What Causes Cellulite?
Its exact cause is unclear, but factors like hormones, poor circulation, increased body fat and skin laxity can be contributing factors. Poor skin health can also intensify cellulite, worsened by smoking or nutrient deficiencies.
What is Emtone?
Emtone is a unique, non-invasive treatment combining thermal and mechanical energy to effectively target cellulite. This FDA-approved procedure uses radiofrequency and sound waves for skin tightening, particularly on the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, and arms. Emtone requires no surgery or recovery time, making it a convenient option for cellulite reduction and skin toning.
How Does Emtone Work?
Emtone combines pressure wave therapy and radiofrequency energy to effectively target cellulite. This dual-action approach helps to:
- Break Down Fat: The thermal energy heats up and liquefies the fat cells, making it easier for the body to eliminate them.
- Stimulate Collagen Production: The mechanical energy disrupts the fibrous tissues responsible for the dimpled appearance of cellulite. This disruption triggers collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and texture.
How Does Emtone Affect the Skin?
Emtone disrupts large fat chambers and collagen fibers that cause cellulite’s dimpled appearance while improving blood flow, enhancing lymphatic drainage, and reducing metabolic waste beneath the skin.
The treatment works through several mechanisms:
- Skin Elasticity: It tightens existing collagen fibers and stimulates new elastin and collagen production, leading to firmer skin.
- Blood Flow and Lymphatic Drainage: Acoustic waves enhance circulation and lymphatic flow, reducing fluid retention that contributes to cellulite.
- Targeting Fat Chambers and Fibrous Bands: It addresses enlarged fat chambers and fibrous bands that create cellulite dimples.
Where is Emtone Most Effective?
Emtone’s radiofrequency heats the skin to 108–111ºF, promoting collagen and elastin formation over time. While it’s effective on the buttocks and thighs, it can also treat other areas like the abdomen and arms.
Emtone is less suitable for those with significant skin laxity or as a fat-reduction treatment. Optimal results are seen in those with relatively good skin elasticity.
What Sets Emtone Apart from Other Cellulite Treatments?
Emtone is unique as it’s the only device combining radiofrequency energy with pressure wave therapy, producing synergistic effects.
This combination has been clinically proven to be highly effective, with over 90% patient satisfaction and a 93% reduction in cellulite appearance.
Emtone outperforms standalone treatments, being 64% more effective in building elastin and 59% more effective in collagen production. Its efficacy extends to treating both wavy and dimpling types of cellulite, showcasing its versatility and effectiveness.
Am I a Good Candidate for Emtone?
Cellulite is a challenging aesthetic concern, and there are various treatments available. Assessing cellulite and choosing the right treatment can be subtle and varies from patient to patient. It’s crucial to consult with an experienced provider to determine the best approach for your specific situation.
Generally, Emtone offers an effective, non-invasive option with no downtime for most types of cellulite. However, whether Emtone or other treatments like Cellfina or Aveli are more suitable depends on an in-person consultation with Dr. Darren Smith.
What Should I Expect During My Emtone Treatment Session?
- Arrival and Preparation: Upon arriving for your Emtone session, you’ll be escorted to an exam room. Here, you’ll change into a robe for comfort and privacy. Dr. Smith will take photographs to track your progress throughout the treatment course.
- Treatment Preparation: A soothing gel is applied to the area targeted for treatment. This gel helps in conducting the Emtone’s energy more effectively and enhances your comfort.
- The Emtone Experience: As the treatment begins, you’ll feel a warm sensation coupled with a tapping feeling. Most patients describe this as similar to a hot stone massage with an added intensity in the tapping. The procedure is designed to be pain-free, with the heat remaining at a comfortable level.
- Duration of Treatment: The length of each Emtone session varies, typically ranging from 10 to 20 minutes. This duration is dependent on the size and number of areas being treated.
Dr. Smith ensures that the Emtone treatment is a comfortable and relaxing experience, with no pain involved. The process is meticulously designed to cater to your individual needs, ensuring optimal results in a soothing environment.
What Are the Benefits of Emtone?
Emtone provides non-invasive skin improvement and body contouring using radiofrequency and pressure to effectively treat cellulite.
Here are the key advantages:
- No downtime: After treatment, you can immediately return to your regular activities.
- Affordable: The cost depends on the number of sessions needed, making it a cost-effective option compared to invasive procedures like liposuction.
- Gentle and painless: Each 20-minute session feels similar to a relaxing hot stone massage, causing no pain or discomfort.
- Suitable for all skin types: Emtone’s technology is safe for all skin tones and types, as it works beneath the skin’s surface with heat and pressure.
- Long-lasting results: In addition to reducing cellulite, Emtone improves skin elasticity over time, helping to prevent cellulite from coming back after achieving your desired skin contour.
Is Emtone Suitable For All Skin Types and Complexions?
Emtone is suitable for all skin types and complexions. Its safe and effective technology is designed to work well for individuals with various skin tones and types.
However, if you have very sensitive skin, rosacea, or vascular conditions, it’s advisable to have a discussion with Dr. Smith before treatment. While the treatment is generally gentle, special considerations can be addressed to ensure the best experience possible for those with more sensitive skin.
Will My Emtone Results Look Natural?
Definitely! Emtone utilizes your body’s natural renewal process rather than injectable fillers to smooth wrinkles and tighten skin. The aim is always a natural enhancement that doesn’t look artificial or “overdone.”
The areas of concern are always treated equally to maintain symmetry. Your results will look smooth, uniform, and completely natural.
Real Results
When Will I See Emtone Results?
Some patients notice improvements right after the first treatment, but the best results typically appear after about two to four sessions. For maximum benefits, we recommend around four sessions over two weeks. Results will continue improving for the next two to three months, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised when comparing before-and-after photos!
How Long Do Emtone Results Last?
Results vary by individual, but generally, we suggest a touch-up treatment every six to 12 months. Emtone isn’t permanent, but it’s unlikely you’ll completely return to your pre-treatment appearance.
What Areas Can Emtone Treat?
Popular Emtone treatment areas include the abdomen, love handles, waist, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, front and back of the thighs, knees, and arms.
Emtone can also enhance recovery when combined with liposuction, aiding in reducing swelling and providing results similar to a lymphatic massage. Additionally, Emtone works effectively with Emsculpt to tighten skin, while Emsculpt builds muscle and reduces fatty volume.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emtone Treatment
Discover more about Emtone, its safety, effectiveness, cost, and how it compares to other treatments with these FAQs:
Is Emtone Safe?
Emtone is widely recognized as safe for most people. This non-invasive procedure doesn’t require surgery or injections. It uses thermal and mechanical energy to effectively target cellulite. As with any cosmetic treatment, Dr. Smith recommends discussing your medical history and any specific concerns before starting Emtone.
Does Emtone Burn Fat?
Emtone’s primary goal is to enhance the appearance of cellulite by improving skin elasticity and boosting collagen production. While it may contribute to a more toned look, it’s not primarily a fat-reduction treatment. Dr. Smith can advise on other treatments like Emsculpt Neo or liposuction for direct fat loss.
What is the Difference Between Emsculpt Neo and Emtone?
Both Emsculpt Neo and Emtone are non-invasive body contouring treatments, but they have different objectives. Emsculpt Neo is focused on muscle toning and fat reduction, using electromagnetic energy to induce muscle contractions.
Emtone, however, is designed to target cellulite, enhancing skin texture and elasticity through thermal and mechanical energy. Dr. Smith can help determine which treatment is best suited to your goals.
Does Emtone Hurt?
Patients typically find Emtone treatments comfortable, often likening the experience to a hot stone massage. The procedure involves a mix of warmth and mechanical vibrations, with adjustable intensity for maximum comfort. You can expect some warmth and a tingling sensation, but the treatment is generally not painful.
How Much Does Emtone Treatment Cost?
The cost of Emtone treatment varies based on factors like the provider, number of sessions, and treatment area size. On average, it costs around $2,836, but prices can go as high as $8,400.
Some packages of four sessions offered over a month may range between $700 and $800. Remember, these are average figures, and actual costs can differ. For the most accurate pricing, it’s recommended to consult directly with Dr. Smith.
