Emtone in Wrocław: shockwave therapy combined with radiofrequency – less cellulite after 4 treatments
Visibly less cellulite and firmer skin after just a course of 4 treatments. In a 2018 study, this result was equivalent to the effects that would normally take 6–12 sessions to achieve with shockwave therapy alone. For you, this means a time-saving: fewer appointments and a single price instead of two.

BTL Emtone is a treatment for cellulite and localised fat deposits that combines shockwave therapy with monopolar radiofrequency in a single handpiece. Both energy sources work simultaneously: the shockwave mechanically massages the tissue, whilst the radiofrequency wave immediately heats it up and stimulates the skin to rebuild collagen. At Biały Lotos in Wrocław, we perform the Emtone treatment on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, love handles and arms as part of our body contouring programme, almost always in combination with Icoone drainage. We have been offering Emtone at our salon since 2023.

Why does a shockwave combined with a radio wave work better than when used separately?
Both energy forms act on the same tissue at the same time. In many clinics, shockwave therapy is a separate treatment, whilst a second appointment is booked for skin firming using radiofrequency. With Emtone, both are delivered from a single handpiece. The shockwave, or targeted pressure energy (TPE), provides an intense mechanical massage and stimulates circulation. At the same time, monopolar radiofrequency (RF) heats the skin to 40–45°C and triggers collagen regeneration. This cannot be achieved with two separate devices.
A 2020 study compared the same settings when administered simultaneously and sequentially. When administered simultaneously, there was an increase of 59% more collagen and 64% more elastin, and the skin had thickened more noticeably. The study was conducted on an animal model, so it shows what happens within the skin itself. BTL holds three US patents relating to this (US 9 636 516, US 10 080 906, US 11 484 724) and describes Emtone as the first device to deliver thermal and mechanical energy simultaneously.
A 2018 publication compared this result with studies on individual technologies: radiofrequency alone typically involves 6 sessions, whilst shockwave therapy alone involves between 6 and 12. To benefit from the effects of both energy forms separately, one would need to undergo two separate courses of treatment. Emtone delivers comparable results after four treatments, in a single course and at a single price.
Is shockwave therapy for cellulite right for you?
Yes, if you’re bothered by cellulite or fat that lingers on your thighs or tummy despite exercising and eating sensibly. Emtone is suitable for adult women and men, whatever their skin type.

We don’t recommend it to everyone. If the main problem is loose skin without cellulite, this will usually provide quicker relief Alma SpaDeep. If you are significantly overweight, Emtone is no substitute for weight loss. During your consultation, we’ll tell you straight which treatment is right for you.
In Wrocław, we are one of the few clinics where you can have a BTL Emtone treatment. This equipment is in a different league to a standard shockwave machine, which is why most clinics stick to shockwave therapy alone.
Body contouring and skin firming, all under one roof
You don’t need to visit several clinics. At Biały Lotos, you’ll find a complete body-contouring programme all under one roof: Emtone for cellulite and localised fat deposits, Icoone for lymphatic drainage, Alma SpaDeep for firming the skin, and HI-EMT for your muscles. During your consultation, we’ll draw up a plan so that the treatments complement one another and so that you come in only as many times as is really necessary. We value your time just as much as your money.
Emtone and Icoone work best together
We almost always combine Emtone with drainage Icoone Laser 2. In many clinics, shockwave therapy is combined with vacuum massage, most commonly with endermology. We also offer Endermologie, but our experience suggests that Icoone is more effective for this treatment: it uses two treatment heads simultaneously, operated with both hands, so full-body drainage is quicker and more thorough. Emtone works on the skin and adipose tissue, whilst Icoone helps the body eliminate retained water. For our clients, when used together, they produce a significantly better result than either treatment on its own. You can have both treatments with us, often in a single session. We’ll agree on a combination plan during your consultation.
Smoother skin is visible after the first treatment
Even after the very first treatment, the skin feels noticeably smoother and firmer to the touch. A course consists of at least 4 treatments, every 3–10 days. In a 2023 study, measurements were still lower six months after a course of four treatments: thighs by an average of 3.2 cm, and hips by 5.6 cm. For our clients, skin smoothness lasts the longest – around half a year – following a course of eight treatments.
Does shockwave therapy hurt?
It doesn't hurt. Throughout the treatment, you feel a distinct, intense warmth, whilst the wave itself is much less noticeable, as BTL has replaced the treatment tip with a much more comfortable one. In a 2023 study, participants rated their sensations during the treatment at an average of 2.8 on a scale of 0 to 10. On the inner thighs and arms, the heat can sometimes be at the limit of comfort, in which case we reduce the power.
We adjust the power according to how you feel, whilst the treatment head continuously measures your skin temperature. The device takes a short break every 5 minutes. For the treatment, we attach a flat neutral electrode to your body, which completes the radio-frequency circuit. For the abdomen, the treatment head itself operates for 15 minutes, and the entire session lasts around 30 minutes. For the thighs, your session with us lasts around 45 minutes.
Before the treatment, cleanse your skin thoroughly and drink plenty of water
Come with your skin freshly shaved and without any lotion, as hair and make-up can interfere with the device’s operation. If you don’t have time, we’ll shave the area for you on the spot. Drink more still water the day before and the day after the treatment. Smoking and alcohol also affect the results, so it’s worth cutting down on them during the course of treatment.
The first appointment begins with a discussion about your health and what you’re hoping to achieve. We then examine your skin and draw up a plan.
Any redness following the procedure will subside within 24 hours at the latest
Redness and slight swelling are signs that the skin has reached the right temperature. They usually disappear after a few hours. Your skin may feel dry for a day or two, in which case a standard moisturiser will suffice. Minor bruising or temporary tingling and itching may occasionally occur.
You can get straight back to your usual activities and go to the swimming pool on the very same day. Wait until the next day before using the sauna, and avoid strong sunlight and sunbeds whilst you’re on this course of treatment.
What do our clients think of the Emtone treatment?
In their reviews, clients most often mention the atmosphere in the salon and the fact that we do not pressure them into having unnecessary treatments.

I’d rate all my treatments very highly; Biały Lotos is a lovely place, everything was handled professionally, and the staff were very friendly and empathetic. The prices are reasonable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Emtone?
A BTL device for body treatments. A single treatment head combines radio waves with shock waves and delivers them simultaneously, making cellulite less visible and leaving the skin smoother.
How does Emtone differ from a standard shockwave?
A conventional shockwave acts solely through mechanical means. Emtone, at the same time, heats the tissue using radiofrequency waves. In a comparative study using an animal model, the simultaneous application of both energy sources resulted in 59% more collagen than when they were applied in sequence.
Does the procedure hurt?
No. You feel a strong warmth, and the wave is weaker. When it gets too hot on the inside of your thighs or on your shoulders, we turn it down.
After how many treatments do you start to see results?
The first noticeable difference in skin smoothness is usually visible after just one treatment. The full effect is achieved with a course of at least four treatments.
How long does the effect last?
In a 2023 study, thigh and hip circumferences remained smaller for a further 6 months following a course of 4 treatments. For our clients, the smoothness of the skin lasts the longest – around half a year – following a course of 8 treatments.
How many Emtone treatments are equivalent to a single shockwave treatment?
In a 2018 study, the improvement observed after 4 Emtone treatments was comparable to the results achieved in other studies after 6–12 treatments with shockwave therapy alone or after 6 treatments with radiofrequency therapy alone. The authors point out that this is a comparison with other studies.
How often are the treatments carried out?
Every 3–10 days. We usually do it once a week, together with Icoone.
Does Emtone reduce circuit sizes?
Tak, Emtone zmniejsza obwód i redukuje tkankę tłuszczową. W badaniu z 2018 roku obwód każdego uda zmniejszył się średnio o 2,1 cm, a bioder o 2,3 cm po 4 zabiegach.
Why are you combining Emtone with Icoone?
Combining the two treatments produces a significantly better result than either one on its own. Emtone works on the skin and fatty tissue, whilst Icoone helps to eliminate retained water. We’ll draw up a plan during your consultation.
Why don’t you combine shockwave therapy with endermology?
We also offer endermology, but the Icoone uses two treatment heads and operates with both hands, so the drainage is faster and more thorough. When combined with Emtone, this produces better results for our clients.
Is Emtone for men?
Yes. The treatment is for adults, regardless of gender or skin type.
Do I need to shave before the treatment?
Yes, because the hairs get in the way of the head. If you forget, we’ll do it for you here.
When can I go to the sauna?
The next day. You can go to the swimming pool straight away.
Can I sunbathe whilst undergoing the treatment?
Strong sunlight and sunbeds increase the risk of skin irritation, so it’s best to wait until the end of the course of treatment before using them.
