Cellulite and loss of skin tone constitute some of the most stubborn conditions in modern aesthetic medicine. With a variety of causes ranging from the uneven distribution of superficial fat to the interrupted circulation of lymph and blood that comes with age, cellulite affects nearly all of us eventually – regardless of gender. And while treatments to date have been lackluster when it comes to making significant and lasting improvements, PFRANKMD by Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank is pleased to introduce one that actually works: EMTONE.

Recently cleared by the FDA for the treatment of cellulite and loss of skin tone, EMTONE combines two cutting-edge technologies from the worlds of aesthetic and rehabilitation medicine. Thermal radiofrequency tightens skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production while mechanical shockwave therapy breaks fibrous bands to improve circulation and fat deposition. The first non-invasive treatment to address all five causes of cellulite, EMTONE is performed in four to five procedures over a two-week period. The treatments are quick and easy, with no downtime or discomfort.

Emtone works by delivering mechanical stimulation that disrupts rigid collagen fibers while simultaneously decreasing collagen’s thermal stability. This process leads to intensive collagen denaturation, which triggers rapid fibroblast proliferation due to the lowered thermal stability. As a result, the treatment stimulates a dramatic increase in collagen and elastin fiber synthesis, promoting the production of new, stronger fibers for improved skin tone and texture.

Ideal candidates for EMTONE are individuals looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin texture without undergoing invasive procedures. It is suitable for those with mild to moderate skin laxity, uneven skin tone, or dimpled areas commonly found on the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and arms. EMTONE is effective for a wide range of skin types and is ideal for individuals seeking noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Improves skin texture and elasticity First effective non-invasive cellulite treatment with no downtime Suitable for all skin types and areas Combines thermal and mechanical energy for enhanced results

During an EMTONE procedure, you can expect a comfortable, non-invasive treatment session that typically lasts around 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The procedure involves the application of a handheld device that delivers a combination of thermal and mechanical energy to the skin. Patients often describe the sensation as a warm massage with mild vibrations. There is no need for anesthesia, and you can relax during the treatment. Most patients experience little to no discomfort.

After an EMTONE treatment, there is typically no downtime, allowing you to return to your usual activities right away. You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this usually fades within a few hours. For best results, Dr. Frank recommends a series of four 20-minute EMTONE treatments spaced over two weeks. As your body naturally produces new collagen and elastin fibers, you’ll start to notice smoother skin texture and reduced cellulite within a few weeks. Improvements continue to develop over the following months, offering long-lasting benefits when maintained with a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare routine.
