Skin Tightening for Summer: Empower Tone vs. Traditional Treatments

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, there’s a renewed sense of motivation to feel strong, confident, and ready for summer. Whether that means slipping into your favorite sundress or simply feeling better in your own skin, one thing is for sure: skin tightening is a summer essential—and today’s technology is delivering results like never before.

At Bare Aesthetic in Bergen County, NJ, we believe in smarter, more effective solutions backed by science and guided by expertise. That’s why we’ve integrated Empower Tone, part of the advanced EmpowerRF suite, into our customized approach to non-surgical body transformation.

Understanding Skin Tightening: What’s Actually Happening?

Skin tightening treatments work by stimulating collagen and elastin, the essential proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity. As we age or experience shifts in body composition, these proteins decline, leading to laxity, sagging, or loss of definition.

Technologies like radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic muscle stimulation (EMS) help reignite your body’s natural regeneration process, producing smoother, firmer, more lifted skin—naturally and gradually.

Empower Tone: Where Skin Meets Strength

Most skin tightening devices focus on the skin’s surface. Empower Tone goes deeper, activating the muscles beneath through electromagnetic muscle stimulation. This produces supramaximal contractions—deeper, more intense contractions than you could ever achieve voluntarily, even during your toughest workouts.

Clinical Benefits of Empower Tone:

  • Improves muscle tone, strength, and definition
  • Rebuilds core stability, especially post-baby or post-weight loss
  • Enhances circulation and lymphatic flow
  • Activates deep support structures that boost skin tightness from below

It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about restoring real function and confidence.

Who Is Empower Tone For?

Empower Tone is designed for anyone ready to level up their physique, but it’s especially impactful for:

  • Postpartum recovery: Supporting weakened abdominal muscles
  • Post-weight loss: Reducing laxity and reclaiming definition
  • GLP-1 users (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide): Addressing shifts in body composition after metabolic change

This isn’t a surface-only solution—it’s a clinically guided protocol for rebuilding strength, tone, and structure from within.

Target Areas for Empower Tone: Sculpt Your Summer Silhouette

When it comes to prepping for summer, Empower Tone treats the areas you care most about—those you want to feel confident showing off. That includes: 

  • Abdomen: Core sculpting and strength restoration—just in time for swimsuits and crop tops
  • Buttocks: Subtle lift and firmness without squats
  • Thighs: Smoother tone for inner and outer leg confidence
  • Arms: Sleeveless-ready definition, especially after muscle loss
  • Flanks/Love Handles: Refinement in stubborn spots that resist diet and exercise

By treating both large and small muscle groups, Empower Tone supports layered transformation—inside and out.

What Makes EmpowerRF Stand Out from Other Skin Tightening Treatments?

In a landscape filled with great technologies, EmpowerRF stands apart for its multi-dimensional approach to body renewal. At Bare Aesthetic, it’s not just a treatment—it’s the cornerstone of a highly personalized, science-driven strategy.

A Dual-Focus Approach: Skin + Muscle

Most devices treat skin only. EmpowerRF pairs radiofrequency with muscle stimulation, targeting both the skin and the structure beneath. That means firmer skin and visible tone.

Supramaximal Contractions for Maximum Definition

Empower Tone delivers EMS at intensities your body can’t achieve on its own—especially valuable when recovering from muscle loss, pregnancy, or metabolic changes. The result? Tightened contours, improved posture, and deeper strength.

RF Energy That’s Intelligent and Targeted

EmpowerRF uses fractionated, depth-controlled radiofrequency to precisely target where collagen remodeling is needed most—leading to better outcomes with minimal discomfort or downtime.

Customization for Every Body

EmpowerRF fits seamlessly into broader plans, allowing your provider to:

  • Pair with Morpheus8 Body for deep dermal tightening
  • Layer in Sculptra® or peptide therapy for inside-out rejuvenation
  • Tailor treatment by area, timeline, and your individual wellness journey

Function Meets Aesthetic

It’s not just about how you look. EmpowerRF supports mobility, strength, and self-trust—ideal for people reclaiming their bodies after physical change. This is transformation that lasts, inside and out.

Combining Empower Tone with Morpheus8 Body: Dual Action, Deeper Results

While Empower Tone builds strength and support, Morpheus8 Body takes skin resurfacing and tightening to a new level.

This fractional RF microneedling treatment:

  • Remodels deep dermal tissue
  • Boosts collagen production
  • Smooths crepey, lax, or stretched skin
  • Treats areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks

Used together, these treatments target both structure and surface, accelerating results and enhancing long-term skin health.

Enhancing Results with Sculptra® and Peptide Therapy

Technology alone can’t do it all. At Bare Aesthetic, we enhance your EmpowerRF results with evidence-based, regenerative therapies that support your body on every level.

  • Sculptra®: A collagen-boosting injectable that builds volume and firmness from within
  • Medical-grade topicals and peptides: Customized to support skin healing and elasticity
  • Peptide therapy: Enhances metabolism, tissue repair, and recovery, making your body more responsive to treatment

Each plan is customized based on your goals, body composition, and overall wellness stage—not a cookie-cutter formula.

Why Spring is the Smartest Time to Start Skin Tightening

If summer is your goal, spring is your runway. While Empower Tone and other RF-based tightening treatments deliver visible changes quickly, real transformation takes time.

Most patients achieve optimal results with 2–3 EmpowerRF sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. That means starting now gives your body time to respond—so by the time the temperatures rise, you’ll be right where you want to be.

Because EmpowerRF is non-invasive and downtime-free, you don’t need to pause your lifestyle. Results build steadily, session by session, making spring the perfect window to begin.
