EMTONE
How does it work?
EMTONE is a non-invasive treatment that combines:
1. Monopolar radiofrequency, thermal effect leading to lipolysis
2. Emission of shock waves, a mechanical effect using pressure and circular movements, which potentiates the thermal effect.
This multi-dimensional action on skin tissue is highly effective in treating cellulite and sagging skin. The synergy between the increase in skin temperature and the targeted pressure that reaches all its layers, from the epidermis to the adipose tissue, will reshape, smooth and refine its appearance. During the session, a small electrode is placed on the skin to receive the waves emitted by the monopolar radiofrequency.
What does EMTONE treatment feel like?
The EMTONE emits a sensation of heat comparable to that of a hot stone massage combined with vibrations. The treatment is not painful, either during or after the session.
What does EMTONE treat?
The areas that can be treated with EMTONE are:
- Abdomen
- Thighs: front, inside and back
- Buttocks
- Hips (waist)
- Arms
Duration and protocol
The treatment lasts 20 minutes per area. It is possible to treat several areas during the same session, thereby extending the duration of the session.
The complete EMTONE protocol comprises 6 to 8 sessions, with one session every 3 to 5 days. Ideally, 2 sessions per week are carried out for 3 to 4 weeks.
Dr Olivier CLAUDE will propose a precise, personalised treatment protocol after assessing the areas to be treated.
Refresher sessions are usually recommended. Depending on your wishes and needs, 1 session every 3 to 4 months is usually sufficient.
Results and contraindications
EMTONE will treat the causes of cellulite and sagging skin. The treatment will reduce fat pockets, stimulate collagen production, restore skin elasticity and improve lymphatic circulation.
Results are usually visible after the first few sessions and gradually improve over the following weeks. A clear improvement in the texture of the skin will most often be observed; the skin will be smoother and firmer, with a reduction in the dimpled appearance (cellulite).
EMTONE sessions are not recommended in the following situations:
• Pregnant or breast-feeding women
• Recent childbirth (3 months by natural route or 6 months by caesarean section)
• Malignant tumour
• Women wearing an IUD
• Patients with an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator
• Patients with a metallic or electronic implant (drug pumps, etc.)
