ThrIVe Drip Spa is thrilled to offer this groundbreaking skin-firming treatment as part of our wide range of wellness and anti-aging services aimed at helping you feel and look your best.
What Causes Cellulite?
Cellulite is extremely common. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of women will develop at least a minor amount of cellulite in their lives. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not a sign of poor health, and it can affect anyone of any weight.
A combination of factors, including the structure of your skin, the distribution of your normal layer of fat, and the elasticity of your connective tissue contribute to the prevalence of cellulite, especially in areas with naturally higher fat storage, such as your thighs, hips, and buttocks, but also sometimes on the upper arms and across the abdomen.
Basically, as the fibrous tissue bands that connect your skin to your muscles tighten or stiffen (usually due to natural aging, changes in hormones, or genetic predisposition), they tend to pull the skin down. At the same time, the naturally occurring fat layer under your skin pushes upward, between the bands, leading to those distinctive lumps or dimples we call cellulite. Thinner or less elastic skin, which occurs with decreased collagen, makes cellulite more noticeable.
How Does EMTONE Work?
FDA-approved EMTONE is the first, and only, non-invasive, body-contouring and skin-firming treatment that combines both thermal and mechanical energy to address the major factors that contribute to cellulite and loose skin. This includes expanded fat cells, damaged or deteriorated collagen structure, reduced skin elasticity, decreased blood flow and circulation, and buildup of metabolic waste and byproducts. By creating a synergistic effect, this device makes both technologies—radiofrequency, or RF, and targeted pressure energy, or TPE—more effective than they would be individually and also allows for better results in fewer treatments.
During each treatment, the RF energy heats the skin layers, which boosts the production of collagen and elastin, leading to improvements in both skin thickness and firmness. At the same time, the TPE stimulates intense muscle contractions through rhythmic, mechanical vibrations that massage the tissue. This improves localized circulation and lymphatic drainage while also disrupting and breaking up clusters of fat and the fibrous bands that lend themselves to dimpled skin texture. The results? Firmer skin and more visible muscle tone.
What Are the Benefits of EMTONE Treatments?
Since EMTONE was developed primarily to address the root causes of cellulite, one of the first benefits people notice is a reduction in the appearance of cellulite, meaning smoother skin and less dimpling.
That’s not all it does, though. EMTONE can also:
- Reduces skin laxity (or loose, sagging skin) by stimulating collagen and elastin production to tighten skin and increase elasticity
- Enhances overall skin texture and tone by breaking down fat clusters trapped under the skin, resulting in smoother, more even skin tone, which also aids in better muscle definition
- Boosts circulation and lymphatic flow by increasing blood flow and encouraging lymphatic drainage, which reduce fluid retention
Who Is a Good Candidate for EMTONE Treatments?
Anyone interested in a non-surgical, non-invasive solution for cellulite reduction and improved overall skin appearance is a good candidate for EMTONE. The technology of this skin-firming treatment is appropriate for all body shapes and types, regardless of body mass index or existing skin texture.
In addition, because it uses a handheld wand (as opposed to an injection or large machine), it is suitable for many different treatment areas, including thighs, abdomen, arms, and buttocks. The quick treatments with no downtime or recovery after sessions mean that even the busiest professionals and athletes can add this skin-firming treatment to their health and wellness routine.
What Can You Expect During and After Treatment?
To begin your treatment, you will lie down in a comfortable position (similar to how you would expect to be positioned on a massage table), and the provider will apply a special lotion to the target area before running the handheld applicator wand over it. The warmth of the RF energy, combined with the vibrations of the TPE result in a sensation that most clients describe as being similar to a warm, deep-tissue massage, with minimal discomfort.
The combined, dual energy nature of EMTONE treatments means that sessions can be kept short while still being effective. Most sessions only require around 20 or 30 minutes per treated area. Plus, since there is no need for anesthesia, there is no recovery or downtime. You can go back to normal activities immediately after treatment, making this quick and convenient skin-firming treatment practical even for those with busy schedules.
How Soon Will You See Results?
Some clients report noticeable improvements, such as smoother or tighter skin, after only one session. However, some benefits, like increased collagen and elastin, develop more fully over time. At your first visit to ThrIVe Drip Spa, your provider will go over your needs and goals and develop an individual treatment plan that works for you and your schedule. Typically, though, clients choose a course of four to six treatments, spread out once or twice a week until complete. While individual results can vary, the benefits of EMTONE generally continue to improve even weeks and months after the last session.
