Offered at your clinic

Electone Quebec

Electone is a body treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City that works through EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation. Pads placed on the skin send impulses that prompt muscle contractions, and the treatment features three distinct modes: draining, which helps reduce water retention; toning, which firms and tones; and sculpting, which helps shape and accentuate muscle definition.

Book an Appointment

Electone is most often considered by patients who would like to support muscle tone and improve definition in areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms or thighs, as a complement to a healthy lifestyle. Depending on goals, the treatment may be received using one mode, another, or a combination within a series of sessions. It can also be planned alongside other in-clinic body treatments within a broader treatment plan.

Because every patient’s body, goals and medical history are different, Electone at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether Electone is the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized assessment

Validating your needs and goals through an assessment with a consultant is essential. Our staff has developed the expertise to guide you towards visible results and will work with you to develop a complete personalized treatment plan taking into account your silhouette as a whole.

Step 2

Taking photographs

Taking pictures of the treated area before the treatment allows you to better visualize the needs and also to measure the results at the end of the treatment. This step is at your discretion and may be omitted at your request.

Step 3

Installation of straps and electrodes

Installing elastic straps in strategic locations is the first step of the treatment. The technician will then apply a gel to the electrodes before positioning them according to the area to be treated.

Step 4

Beginning of the treatment

Starting the electro-stimulation at a low level of intensity and increasing it every 3 minutes according to the chosen program allows the body to get used to the new sensations felt. The intensity level of the pulses is always adjusted according to your comfort level and tolerance during the 30 minutes of the treatment.

Step 5

End of treatment

End the treatment by removing the elastic straps and electrodes before cleaning the treated area with a dry cloth. Functionalab Toning Body Gel or Functionalab Retexturizing Body Cream is then applied to the treated area to complete the session.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

With a healthy lifestyle, the benefits of Electone can be seen in the months following the end of a course of treatment. However, a few sessions on a regular basis are recommended to maintain the results more effectively. Electone can also be beneficial after CoolSculpting or Thermage Body treatments. Ask one of our consultants for a personalized assessment of your needs.

Contraindications

Pregnant women, people with pacemakers or metal implants, heart problems, epilepsy or diabetes should not receive Electone treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Electone treatment, and how does it utilize EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) technology to achieve its objectives?

Electone treatment is a non-invasive procedure that harnesses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) technology to improve muscle tone, define the silhouette, and enhance muscle volume. During the treatment, conductive pads are placed on specific body areas, delivering deep pulses to the muscles and simulating natural muscle contractions. Electone offers three treatment modes:

Drain: Reduces tissue congestion and water retention, promoting a feeling of lightness.
Tone: Tones muscles and firms the skin, providing lifting effects.
Sculpt: Defines and enhances muscle volume, particularly in areas like abdominals, quadriceps, and pectorals.

How many sessions of Electone treatment are typically recommended, and at what frequency? When can individuals expect to see results?

Depending on the patient’s goals, five to 15 treatments are recommended, with two sessions per week. Patients generally see optimal results in the months following their final treatment. However, they may begin to see some improvements after their sixth session.
