Smooth Skin Is the Secret to a Sexy Body — And Emtone Is How You Get It
You can be in great shape, you can eat well, you can train consistently — and still not feel fully confident in your skin. That's because a toned body and smooth skin are two different things, and only one of them gets talked about in most body transformation conversations. The missing piece for most people isn't more muscle or less fat. It's skin quality — the texture, the tightness, the smoothness that makes the difference between a body you want to show off and one you hide under cover-ups.
Cellulite affects over 90% of women at some point in their lives — regardless of weight, fitness level, or body composition. It has nothing to do with how hard you work out and nothing to do with discipline. It's structural. It's hormonal. And it requires a structural solution. That's exactly what Emtone delivers — paired with EmsculptNEO, the combination that gets you truly snatched, from the inside out.
Why Smooth Skin Changes Everything
There's a reason the most iconic bodies in fashion, film, and beauty always share one common quality: skin that looks as good as the physique underneath. Smooth, tight skin makes muscle definition more visible, makes curves look sculpted rather than lumpy, and creates the overall visual impression of a body that is genuinely taken care of. Textured, dimpled skin — even on an otherwise fit frame — disrupts that perception entirely.
We see this constantly with patients at Total Body Aesthetic. Someone will come in who has worked incredibly hard — changed their diet, committed to training — and still feel self-conscious in shorts, a swimsuit, or anything form-fitting. The frustration is real. The effort has been real. But the skin hasn't followed. That's not a failure of discipline. That's biology — specifically, the five structural factors that create cellulite, none of which diet or exercise directly addresses.
Emtone addresses all five. That's what makes it categorically different from everything else on the market.
The Five Factors Behind Cellulite (And Why Nothing Else Touches Them)
Most anti-cellulite products and treatments fail because they treat only one root cause. Understanding all five helps explain why Emtone works when everything else hasn't.
Fat cells that expand and push upward against the skin surface, creating the bumpy, uneven texture.
Rigid connective tissue cords (septa) that tether skin to deeper tissue and pull it downward, creating dimples as fat protrudes between them.
As collagen and elastin decline, skin loses its ability to maintain a smooth, taut surface — making underlying irregularities visible rather than concealed.
Reduced blood flow to the affected area impairs the natural processes that keep skin nourished and fat metabolism functioning efficiently.
Fluid retention and metabolic byproducts build up in the interstitial tissue, contributing to puffiness and the overall uneven texture of the skin surface.
Every cream, every massage roller, every dry brush — they might marginally improve circulation, at best. They do not address fibrous bands. They do not rebuild collagen. They do not reduce fat chamber size. Emtone, because it uses two distinct energy technologies simultaneously, is the first treatment that credibly targets all five at once.
How Emtone Works: Two Technologies, One Smooth Result
Emtone is the only FDA-cleared device that combines monopolar radiofrequency with targeted pressure energy (TPE) — two distinct treatment modalities delivered simultaneously through a single handpiece. That simultaneous delivery is the key — it makes each energy type more effective than it would be applied alone, and it means you're addressing multiple root causes in real time during every session.
Radiofrequency: Rebuilding From Within
Monopolar radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, heating it to a therapeutic temperature. This controlled heating does several things simultaneously: it stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, it disrupts and softens the fibrous bands that create dimpling, it targets the fat chambers that push against the skin surface, and it triggers long-term remodeling of the skin's structural architecture.
The result of consistent RF treatment is skin that is visibly tighter, denser, and more uniform — skin that provides a smooth, taut covering over whatever lies beneath it rather than showing every irregularity.
Targeted Pressure Energy: Breaking Up the Problem
Targeted pressure energy — acoustic pressure waves — reaches the fibrous bands directly. These are the rigid cords of connective tissue that physically anchor the skin downward while fat protrudes through them, creating the classic dimpled pattern of cellulite. Pressure energy disrupts these bands mechanically, releasing the tethering that causes dimpling and allowing the skin to lay flat and smooth.
TPE also significantly improves local circulation and lymphatic drainage, clearing the metabolic waste accumulation and fluid retention that contributes to the puffiness and unevenness characteristic of cellulite-prone areas.
Together, RF + TPE in a single Emtone session delivers a 59% average reduction in cellulite severity, clinically measured. Patients see visible improvement in skin smoothness, elasticity, and overall texture — results that continue improving for up to three months after the treatment series as collagen remodeling matures.
Where Emtone Treats
Emtone effectively treats any area where cellulite and skin laxity appear:
- Thighs — inner thighs, outer thighs, back of thighs (the most commonly treated area)
- Buttocks — smoothing the surface and lifting the overall appearance
- Abdomen — addressing skin laxity and superficial texture
- Arms — upper arms where loose skin and texture create self-consciousness
- Flanks — the love handle area where pinchable skin texture is common
- Knees — inner knee skin tightening and texture improvement
Each session takes 20 to 30 minutes per area. There is zero downtime — you can return to all normal activities immediately. Patients describe the sensation as a warm, deep massage. A full protocol is typically four sessions spaced one week apart, with results appearing progressively and peaking around the two to three month mark.
EmsculptNEO: Building the Body Underneath
If Emtone perfects the surface, EmsculptNEO builds the architecture underneath it. And when the architecture is strong, defined, and fat-reduced — and the surface is smooth, tight, and toned — the result is a body that looks genuinely transformed.
EmsculptNEO combines two technologies in its own right: HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) energy to induce supramaximal muscle contractions, and synchronized radiofrequency to heat and permanently destroy fat cells in the treated area. In a single 30-minute session, the device delivers the equivalent of 20,000 muscle contractions — a workout intensity that is completely impossible to achieve voluntarily.
The clinical results are well-established. Over a protocol of four sessions:
Average increase in muscle mass in the treated area
Average reduction in subcutaneous fat in the treated area
Average reduction in abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
More muscle beneath the skin means more definition — better-looking glutes, more visible abs, firmer thighs, stronger arms. Less fat in the treated area means those muscles are closer to the surface and more visible. And because EmsculptNEO's RF energy permanently destroys the fat cells in the treated zone, the fat reduction in that area is not temporary — those cells don't come back.
Where EmsculptNEO Treats
- Abdomen — building the core and eliminating stubborn belly fat
- Buttocks — lifting, rounding, and firming without implants
- Thighs — front and back, reducing fat and improving definition
- Arms — triceps and biceps toning
- Calves — shaping and defining the lower leg
- Flanks — targeted fat reduction along the sides
The Combination That Gets You Snatched
Here's where the magic happens. EmsculptNEO and Emtone treat the same areas of the body — thighs, abdomen, buttocks, arms — but from completely different angles. EmsculptNEO works below the surface: building muscle, destroying fat, reshaping the underlying structure. Emtone works at the surface: smoothing, tightening, eliminating cellulite, improving the quality of the skin itself.
"EmsculptNEO builds the body you want. Emtone reveals it. Together, they make sure nothing gets in the way of the result."

Consider the thighs as an example. Without Emtone, EmsculptNEO may build firmer, more defined thigh muscles — but if the skin surface is dimpled and uneven, that definition doesn't read clearly. The skin texture obscures what's happening underneath. With Emtone running in parallel, the skin surface becomes smooth and taut. Now the muscle underneath is visible. The leg looks genuinely sculpted — not just worked on, but transformed.
The same logic applies to the buttocks. EmsculptNEO lifts and rounds the glute from within — building muscle in the lower and upper glute fibers, creating projection and shape that no amount of squats produces as efficiently. Emtone treats the skin surface: smoothing the dimpling that appears at the base of the buttocks and inner thighs, tightening the skin so that the rounded, lifted shape is clean and defined rather than textured. The result is a backside that looks genuinely enviable from every angle.
For the abdomen, EmsculptNEO eliminates fat and builds the core. Emtone tightens and smooths the surface skin. The combination produces a flat, defined midsection with the kind of smooth, taut skin that makes the work visible — the kind of stomach you want to show off, not cover up.
How to Stack These Treatments
Both treatments have zero downtime and can be stacked in the same overall protocol — and often on the same day for different body areas. Here's how we typically structure it for patients who want full-body transformation:
8-Week Snatched Protocol
Four sessions of EmsculptNEO, one per week, targeting the primary areas (abdomen, glutes, thighs). Building muscle mass, initiating fat destruction, establishing the underlying architecture. Emtone begins on the same timeline for skin surface areas.
Four sessions of Emtone, one per week, targeting the same zones as EmsculptNEO. Beginning cellulite reduction, skin tightening, and collagen stimulation. The two treatments complement without conflicting — RF from both devices works synergistically on the tissue.
Muscle growth and fat reduction from EmsculptNEO continue building for up to 3 months after the last session. Collagen remodeling from Emtone peaks at 2–3 months. This is where the full transformation becomes visible — and patients typically schedule their maintenance sessions during this window.
EmsculptNEO maintenance every 3–6 months to sustain muscle mass and fat reduction. Emtone maintenance every 3–4 months to keep skin smooth and collagen levels elevated. Together, they create a body that improves year over year rather than simply being managed.
Who This Is For
This combination is built for anyone who wants their body to look as good as they feel about it — which is most people. Specifically, it excels for:
The active person who can't shake the cellulite. You're fit, you train regularly, you eat well — and the dimpling on your thighs or behind doesn't care. Emtone is your answer. It addresses the structural causes of cellulite that exercise cannot touch.
The post-baby body. Pregnancy changes the body in ways that diet and training alone often can't fully reverse — particularly abdominal separation, loose skin, and the redistribution of fat in the thighs and hips. EmsculptNEO rebuilds the core and addresses the shape; Emtone tightens the surface. Together they're the most powerful non-surgical postpartum body restoration available.
The person who's lost weight and wants the skin to follow. Significant weight loss often leaves skin that hasn't kept pace with the body beneath it — loose, textured, and lacking the tightness you worked toward. Emtone accelerates collagen remodeling and tightening; EmsculptNEO ensures the body underneath is firm and defined. The combination brings everything into alignment.
The person who wants to look genuinely great in a swimsuit. Not just "okay for my age." Not just "pretty good." Great. This is the protocol that makes that happen — smooth skin, sculpted shape, everything working together. Los Angeles is a year-round swimsuit city. Your body should match the lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions: Emtone & EmsculptNEO
How many Emtone sessions do I need to see results?
The standard Emtone protocol is four sessions, spaced one week apart. Most patients begin noticing smoother skin texture and reduced dimpling after the second session. Full results — including the continued collagen remodeling phase — develop over two to three months following the final session. Maintenance sessions every three to four months sustain and build on those results over time.
Does Emtone permanently remove cellulite?
Emtone produces lasting improvement in cellulite severity — clinically averaging a 59% reduction — but cellulite is a biological condition that benefits from ongoing maintenance. The fibrous bands treated by Emtone can reform over time, and collagen continues to decline with age. Periodic maintenance sessions every three to four months keep results strong and progressive. Most patients find that results improve year over year with consistent treatment.
Can I do Emtone and EmsculptNEO on the same day?
Yes — Emtone and EmsculptNEO can be done on the same day, typically on different treatment areas to maximize your appointment. For example, EmsculptNEO on the abdomen and Emtone on the thighs. Both treatments have zero downtime, so combining them in one visit is both safe and efficient. We'll design a schedule that makes sense for your specific goals and areas.
Where can I get Emtone and EmsculptNEO near El Segundo and Playa Vista, Los Angeles?
Total Body Aesthetic offers both Emtone and EmsculptNEO at our Westchester location: 8610 S Sepulveda Blvd #100, Los Angeles, CA 90045. We serve patients from El Segundo, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, Playa del Rey, Venice, Culver City, and Inglewood. Free consultations available — call (310) 670-1920 or book online.
Is EmsculptNEO worth it if I'm already working out regularly?
Absolutely. EmsculptNEO produces supramaximal contractions — the equivalent of 20,000 muscle contractions per session — which is biologically impossible to achieve through voluntary exercise. Even elite athletes cannot recruit 100% of their muscle fibers voluntarily. EmsculptNEO bypasses that limitation entirely, building muscle density and eliminating localized fat in ways that complement rather than duplicate your training.
How is Emtone different from other cellulite treatments?
Emtone is the only FDA-cleared device that simultaneously combines monopolar radiofrequency with targeted pressure energy (acoustic waves) in a single handpiece. This matters because cellulite has five distinct root causes — enlarged fat chambers, fibrous bands, collagen loss, poor circulation, and metabolic waste — and most treatments address only one or two. Emtone targets all five at once, which is why its clinical results are significantly stronger than single-technology alternatives.
