Why we start with a consultation
Every treatment begins with a medical assessment. We need to understand your medical history, current health, skin condition and concerns before prescribing any procedure. This protects your safety and ensures the treatment is clinically appropriate for you.
During your consultation, your clinician will explain what the treatment can realistically achieve, any risks specific to you, and whether an alternative might be more appropriate. Consultations are carried out by our doctors or advanced aesthetic practitioners, depending on the treatment or concern being assessed.

Clinical overview
Emtone is the first device to simultaneously deliver both radiofrequency energy and targeted pressure energy (acoustic wave therapy) in a single treatment. This dual-energy approach targets all five contributors to cellulite: enlarged fat chambers, damaged collagen fibres (fibrous septae), loss of skin elasticity, metabolic waste accumulation and poor blood flow. The radiofrequency component heats the tissue to stimulate collagen remodelling and improve skin elasticity, while the targeted pressure energy disrupts the rigid fibrous bands that pull down on the skin surface, creating the characteristic dimpling. Together, these mechanisms address both the structural and metabolic causes of cellulite more effectively than either modality alone. Treatment is comfortable and requires no anaesthetic. Most patients describe a warm, therapeutic sensation. Common treatment areas include the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms. A typical course involves 4–6 sessions, each lasting approximately 20 minutes per area. Results develop progressively over several weeks as collagen remodels and tissue quality improves. Clinical studies have demonstrated measurable improvements in skin texture and cellulite grading after a full course of Emtone. Because the device addresses both the connective-tissue architecture and local microcirculation simultaneously, outcomes tend to be more consistent than single-modality approaches such as acoustic wave therapy or standalone radiofrequency. At Berkshire Aesthetics, we assess each patient’s cellulite grade, skin quality and treatment goals before recommending Emtone — either as a standalone course or as part of a broader body-contouring plan alongside treatments such as CoolSculpting or Emsculpt Neo.
Treatment Areas
Thighs (front and back)
The inner and outer thighs are among the most common areas affected by cellulite. Emtone targets the fibrous bands and poor microcirculation responsible for dimpling across both the anterior and posterior thigh surfaces.
Buttocks
Cellulite on the buttocks responds well to the combined radiofrequency and pressure energy delivered by Emtone, improving skin smoothness and reducing the visible dimpled texture.
Abdomen
The abdominal area can develop cellulite and uneven skin texture, particularly after weight fluctuation or pregnancy. Emtone helps improve tissue quality and skin firmness across the abdomen.
Upper Arms
Cellulite and crepey skin on the upper arms can be addressed with Emtone’s dual-energy approach, improving skin elasticity and smoothness in this often-neglected area.

Results Timeline
Most treatments improve in stages rather than immediately. Timelines vary by treatment type, treatment area, and individual response.
- Sessions 1–2: early softening of the skin surface may be noticed as collagen remodelling begins and local circulation improves.
- Sessions 3–4: visible reduction in cellulite dimpling typically becomes more apparent as cumulative tissue changes develop.
- 6–12 weeks after completing the course: full results are usually evident as collagen maturation continues and skin texture reaches its best improvement.
How Long Results May Last
- •Results typically last several months following a completed course of treatment.
- •Longevity depends on individual factors including skin biology, lifestyle, hydration and body composition stability.
- •Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are recommended to sustain the improvement in skin texture and firmness.
