Cellulite on the thighs is a major aesthetic concern for many women. Although it is completely natural, it can nevertheless affect self-confidence. Among the various approaches available to combat this phenomenon, EMTONE clearly stands out as the preferred non-invasive solution for patients and aesthetic medicine specialists. Let’s find out why.
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is a skin condition characterised by an uneven appearance, often described as « orange peel skin ». It results from a structural change in the subcutaneous fatty tissue, linked in particular to poor blood and lymphatic circulation and the accumulation of fat cells.
Why do women have cellulite on their thighs?
Women are particularly prone to cellulite on their thighs due to specific hormonal, genetic and physiological factors. Female hormones, such as oestrogen, promote water retention and the formation of fat cells in the thighs, buttocks and hips, leading to the development of cellulite. In addition, the structure of connective tissue in women, which is organised vertically, facilitates the appearance of cellulite, unlike in men, whose collagen fibres are organised in a cross-linked network.
The 3 stages of cellulite:
Stage 1 (mild): Cellulite is only visible when the skin is pinched or compressed.
Stage 2 (moderate): Cellulite becomes visible spontaneously when standing but disappears when lying down.
Stage 3 (severe): The indented cellulite is constantly visible, regardless of position, and is often accompanied by nodules that are painful to the touch.
The 3 types of cellulite:
Adipose cellulite: This type of cellulite is linked to excess localised fat, which is generally soft to the touch and common in overweight individuals.
Aqueous cellulite:
This is associated with water retention and poor blood and lymphatic circulation, often accompanied by a feeling of heavy legs. This cause promotes the development of cellulite.
Fibrous cellulite:
This encrusted cellulite is hard and painful to the touch. It is caused by a hardening of collagen fibres and is generally the most difficult to treat.
Why is EMTONE® effective on all types of cellulite on the thighs?
For adipose cellulite:
Using monopolar radiofrequency, EMTONE® heats fat cells, promoting their reduction and stimulating the natural elimination of localised fat by stimulating the lymphatic system. Cellulite is also reduced by a decrease in skin slackening, as radiofrequency stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres.
For watery cellulite:
EMTONE® mechanical shock waves effectively improve blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing water retention and feelings of heaviness. This treatment provides powerful lymphatic drainage.
For fibrous cellulite:
The combination of radiofrequency and mechanical waves softens and breaks down hardened collagen fibres, reducing painful nodules and significantly improving the appearance of the skin affected by this type of stubborn cellulite.
For mixed cellulite:
For most people, there is no single cause of cellulite, but it can be associated with both fat and water retention and even fibrosis if it is advanced.
Innovative technology with dual action on cellulite on the thighs
EMTONE® is a cutting-edge technology that combines two proven techniques: monopolar radiofrequency and targeted mechanical waves. This unique combination simultaneously treats the root causes of cellulite, namely reduced skin elasticity, localised fat accumulation and poor blood and lymphatic circulation.
Visible results on cellulite on the thighs from the very first Emtone sessions
One of the main advantages of EMTONE® is the speed and effectiveness of its results on the appearance of cellulite. From the very first sessions, patients notice a significant improvement in the appearance of their skin: a marked reduction in the « orange peel » effect, firmer tissue and improved skin texture. Generally, 4 to 6 sessions on the same treated area are sufficient to achieve optimal results.
Is Emtone painless and comfortable?
Unlike some invasive procedures or other painful anti-cellulite techniques, EMTONE® offers a comfortable and relaxing experience. Patients usually feel a pleasant sensation of warmth on the skin, with no associated pain. This means there is no need for anaesthesia or post-treatment recovery time.
After an Emtone session, is there social or professional ostracism?
With EMTONE®, there is no need to interrupt your daily activities. After each Emtone treatment, you can immediately resume your normal life, which is a huge advantage for active people who are concerned about their schedule.
EMTONE®: results, procedure and number of sessions for smooth, firm thighs
How the sessions work:
Each EMTONE® treatment lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes per treated area of the body. What is an area? An area is the surface of an A4 sheet of paper to be effective in eliminating cellulite. We target either the front of the thighs or the back of the thighs, including the buttocks, stomach and arms to a greater or lesser extent. This anti-cellulite technique involves applying a special tip to the skin, combining monopolar radiofrequency and mechanical waves. The sensation is pleasant and similar to a warm massage.
Number of sessions required:
The recommended standard anti-cellulite protocol generally consists of 4 to 6 sessions spaced a few days to a week apart. This number may vary depending on the stage of cellulite and individual goals. One treated area of the body is equivalent to the surface area of an A4 sheet of paper.
Results obtained:
Results on the appearance of the skin are visible quickly, often after the first few treatments, with continuous improvement in cellulite over the weeks following the end of treatment. The thighs become visibly smoother, firmer and more toned, and the « orange peel » effect is significantly reduced. Other areas of the body with cellulite can also be treated, such as the buttocks, stomach and arms.
Precautions to take before and after EMTONE®
Before the sessions:
It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV rays for one week prior to treatment. Moisturise your skin thoroughly with cream, massaging it in, and inform your practitioner if you are pregnant, have metal implants or have recently experienced skin problems in the area to be treated. It is important to stay well hydrated by drinking an amount of water appropriate to your needs and physical activity.
After the sessions:
Continue to moisturise your skin well by massaging the cellulite on your thighs, avoid direct exposure to sunlight or UV rays for about a week, and maintain a balanced diet to optimise results with good hydration. Engage in regular physical activity.
Who is EMTONE® recommended for?
This treatment is ideal for anyone suffering from moderate to severe cellulite on the thighs who wishes to avoid invasive procedures such as surgery. It is effective on all skin types and has virtually no contraindications. It treats the causes of cellulite.
