What Is Tone by InMode?

Tone is a hands-free muscle toning treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to enhance muscle strength, reduce fat, and improve body contour. This innovative technology is ideal for individuals who want to fine-tune their figure and improve muscle definition, without undergoing invasive procedures.

Key Features of Tone

  • Muscle Toning: EMS targets specific muscle groups and stimulates muscle contractions. This can help strengthen and tone muscles, leading to a more defined and sculpted physique.
  • Body Sculpting: By targeting specific muscle groups and reducing fat in targeted areas, Tone can help sculpt the body and create a more aesthetically pleasing physique.
  • Completely Non-Invasive: Unlike traditional muscle toning and sculpting treatments that require invasive surgery or injections, Tone is completely non-invasive and does not require any downtime or recovery.

How Does Tone Work?

Tone uses 4 hands-free EMS applicators to stimulate involuntary muscle contractions in targeted areas. These powerful contractions are much stronger than those achieved through voluntary exercise, helping build muscle tone and enhance definition more efficiently. The treatment is customizable and can be tailored to focus on specific zones such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, or buttocks.

Treatment Areas 

Tone can be used to sculpt and define various parts of the body, including:

  • Abdomen: Strengthens core muscles and helps achieve a flatter, tighter stomach
  • Glutes: Lifts and firms the buttocks without the need for squats or surgery
  • Thighs: Tone the inner and outer thighs for a more streamlined silhouette
  • Flanks (Love Handles): Targets stubborn areas that are often resistant to diet and exercise
  • Arms: Enhances definition in the biceps and triceps

The Ideal Candidate for Tone

Tone is an excellent option for healthy individuals who want to enhance their natural shape and achieve visible muscle definition, without surgery, needles, or downtime.

Tone is perfect for:

  • Individuals near their ideal weight who want more muscle definition
  • Those looking to enhance results from their workouts and improve muscle endurance
  • Anyone seeking a non-surgical, non-invasive alternative to body sculpting
  • Patients who want to tighten and tone after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Patients who are looking for a customizable treatment that targets specific muscle groups

Why a Consultation is Important

Although Tone is safe and effective for many, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. A consultation with a qualified provider is essential to:

  • Evaluate your body composition and treatment goals
  • Determine whether Tone is the most effective option or if a combination approach would deliver better results
  • Customize a treatment plan that aligns with your body type, lifestyle, and desired outcome
  • Ensure there are no medical contraindications and that the treatment is performed safely
  • By working with a trained and experienced provider, you can be confident that your treatment plan is tailored to deliver optimal, natural-looking results.

Your Tone Experience

  • Your Tone session begins with a personalized consultation to identify your treatment goals.
  • Once you’re comfortably positioned, the applicators are placed on your target areas. You’ll feel your muscles contract during the session, similar to an intense workout, but you are completely relaxed.
  • Sessions typically last 30 minutes to 1 hour and require no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately.

Combining Tone for Optimal Results

While Tone is highly effective on its own, combining it with other advanced treatments can maximize your results and provide a more comprehensive transformation. Here are a few ways you can elevate your body sculpting journey:

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency to target deep layers of fat, improve skin texture, and reduce cellulite. When paired with Tone, you get the benefits of muscle definition and skin smoothing—perfect for areas like the thighs, abdomen, and arms.

Ballancer® Pro (Lymphatic Drainage)

After sculpting and toning, support your body’s natural detox and recovery process. These treatments stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to reduce swelling, flush out toxins, and improve circulation. Ballancer Pro uses compression therapy to enhance recovery and boost results, making it an ideal follow-up to EMS or radiofrequency treatments.

APEXRF for Men

Looking to take your abdominal toning to the next level? APEXRF combines radiofrequency energy and EMS, making it ideal for men who want to tighten their core, reduce stubborn fat, and stimulate collagen for improved skin firmness. It’s also a powerful combination treatment for male enhancement and body refinement, helping to improve both form and function. This synergy creates a noticeable transformation in muscle tone, body contour, and skin texture.

Every body is different. During your consultation, our expert providers will evaluate your unique concerns and aesthetic goals to recommend a personalized treatment plan that may include Tone plus one or more complementary technologies. This customized approach ensures you get optimal, long-lasting results.

Dr. Cho’s Approach to Body Contouring

Dr. Cho approaches body contouring by first listening to the patient’s goals during their consultation and assessment. He prefers to segment the patient’s concerns into three different components that, when addressed, can help achieve their goals.

Shrink

As we get older, our tissues lose collagen and elasticity. We offer many options to help with this non-surgically. We use energy-based devices to stimulate collagen and elastin production, creating a nice overall change in patients that show mild to moderate degrees of skin laxity. On the surgical side, physically removing excess skin is often the strongest option. This can be completed with a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, breast lift, etc. For stronger results, we offer procedures like BodyTite, which is more minimally invasive and reduces excess fullness, while also addressing skin elasticity and sagging.

Tighten

The second component of body contouring involves fat. Volume reduction needs to be done in an artful way that enhances the patient’s overall shape or figure. We have some non-surgical options for this, such as CoolSculpting, EmSculpt, and Vanquish. These are all devices that help target fat but can also address some additional body contouring concerns. When a more dramatic change is desired, or if Dr. Cho feels that the patient will not be happy with an incremental approach, we shift our approach to options such as BodyTite. BodyTite helps to reduce fat and also tightens the skin.

Tone

The third component of body contouring involves muscle. With emerging technology, we can now focus on building muscle, which is a third tissue layer that can really help to enhance a patient’s results. We use devices like EmSculpt, which can stimulate intense muscle contractions and build new muscle fibers that enhance the shape and tone of the body. A tummy tuck or other surgical procedure can physically tighten the muscle units in a more anatomical position, allowing them to function more efficiently. Sometimes we even combine this approach with our non-surgical options to realign the muscles in a more anatomic position while also building muscle with EmSculpt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Most patients describe the sensation as strong but comfortable muscle contractions. There’s no pain—just a powerful workout feeling!

A series of 4-6 treatments is typically recommended for best results. Maintenance sessions can help sustain your look over time.

Some patients notice improvements after just a few sessions, with full results appearing over 4-6 weeks as muscle tone and fat reduction progress.

None! You can resume your normal activities immediately after each session.
