Collagen is a buzzword in the cosmetic services industry – and for good reason. This essential skin protein keeps skin stretchy and healthy. As you age, collagen production slows down, which is one of the reasons why you end up with sagging and wrinkles.
Collagen loss and collagen build-up also contribute to the formation of cellulite. Cellulite treatments vary, but most include collagen.
Many skin and hair supplements contain collagen, as do anti-aging lotions and creams. Skin tightening and anti-aging procedures like Emtone focus on building up collagen to help skin look fuller and younger.
Cellulite is difficult to treat with topical solutions because they do not address the underlying causes of cellulite.
Emtone works for cellulite reduction because of its multifaceted approach. It targets all three causes of cellulite to improve skin elasticity and get rid of bumpy skin. Keep reading to learn how Emtone uses collagen for cellulite reduction, and why the treatment really works!
Cellulite forms when a certain set of circumstances are met:
When thin skin, tight fibrous bands, and fat combine – they form cellulite. Cellulite is a common skin condition, especially among women. More than 80% of women and less than 10% of men have cellulite.
In general, women tend to have thinner skin than men because high levels of testosterone create thicker skin. But everyone’s skin gets thinner with age. Skin also gets thinner from excess sun exposure or because of your unique genetics.
Beneath the skin lies a pattern of fibrous bands. In women, they go straight up and down. But the fibrous bands in men’s skin form more of a crisscross pattern. These fibrous bands can tighten and pull on the skin above them. The bands are made partially of collagen, which appears to build up on the bands over time.
After that, any additional fat cells or fat cell growth causes cellulite to appear. Women have larger fat cells than men due to high levels of estrogen. Yet another reason why collagen is more common among women than men.
The looser your skin, the more obvious the cellulite, which is why many people believe that cellulite is directly related to weight gain. However, you can get cellulite even without gaining weight. The key to cellulite reduction is skin elasticity – and for more elastic skin, you need to focus on collagen.
When you stimulate collagen production in the skin, you make skin more elastic, tighten sagging skin, and get rid of lines and wrinkles. Collagen is a main component in the fibrous bands that connect your skin and fascia.
Cellulite is frustrating because most treatments don’t seem to have any effect. Topical collagen creams may help with skin elasticity and lessen the appearance of cellulite, but the results don’t usually last. The bands are still tight and the fat cells will become obvious once more when you stop using the collagen cream.
You can stimulate collagen with your diet, supplements, and topical solutions – but the benefits vary from person to person. Also when you rely on your diet, supplements, and topicals, you still aren’t addressing the fibrous bands and fat cells. More collagen isn’t going to help loosen the fibrous bands or get rid of fat cells.
For cellulite reduction to last, you need to treat all of the causes. You need to make the skin more elastic, loosen the fibrous bands, and break up the fat cells.
Emtone is a cosmetic treatment made specifically for cellulite. The one-of-a-kind device uses radiofrequency waves and targeted pressure to target all three aspects of cellulite formation.
When radiofrequency waves and targeted pressure energies are combined, it creates a synergistic effect that neither technology can achieve on its own. Emtone is the only product on the market that uses both technologies for cellulite reduction.
Radiofrequency (RF) waves strategically heat the skin cells. The heat stimulates collagen production and increases circulation in the treatment area to create tighter, fuller skin.
Meanwhile, the targeted pressure energy creates a deep vibration to loosen the fibrous bands that are pulling down on the skin. The combination of heat and vibration breaks up fat deposits beneath the skin’s surface so they can be removed via the body’s natural disposal systems. This treatment is effective for stubborn fat deposits that aren’t affected by dietary changes and regular exercise.
Emtone works on cellulite because it targets skin, bands, and fat cells in one easy treatment. It lessens the appearance of cellulite and leaves you with firmer, younger-looking skin.
Other cosmetic treatments for cellulite involve injectables or manual manipulation of the fibrous tissues. Emtone is non-invasive and an overall pleasant experience. Many patients compare the sensations of heat and mechanical movement to a vibrating hot stone massage.
Cellulite often forms on the thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen, and backs of the arms. Emtone can treat any area where cellulite appears.
Common treatment areas include:
Most people see a dramatic difference within a few weeks of their first treatment. Collagen for cellulite reduction takes time, and the results will continue to improve in the months after your treatment.
