Treatment Overview
At The Face Institute, we offer Glute Builder Therapy, a non-invasive muscle-toning treatment designed to lift, sculpt, and strengthen the glutes using high-intensity electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). This treatment targets the gluteal muscles to enhance definition, improve symmetry, and increase strength without the need for surgical procedures or excessive weight training.
Glute Builder Therapy is ideal for individuals looking to improve muscle tone, recover from muscle imbalances, or enhance the overall shape of their glutes. Whether you're an athlete wanting stronger performance or someone seeking a more lifted and contoured look, this treatment provides a safe and effective solution.
How Empower Tone Works
Empower Tone uses EMS technology to deliver controlled electrical impulses to the gluteal muscles, stimulating deep, involuntary contractions that enhance muscle growth and firmness.
Step 1: Deep Muscle Activation
Electrical pulses are applied directly to the glutes, causing powerful contractions that recruit and strengthen the muscle fibers.
Step 2: Glute Sculpting
Each session delivers the equivalent of thousands of squats, building endurance and lifting the muscles for a more defined shape.
Step 3: Strength and Firmness Development
With multiple sessions, the glutes become firmer, stronger, and more toned, improving both aesthetics and functional strength.
Scientific Credentials and Studies on EMS for Glute Toning
Empower Tone is part of the InMode Empower RF system, a Health Canada & FDA-approved technology for non-invasive muscle building. Research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that EMS treatments increase muscle mass by 25% and enhance muscular endurance by 30% within six to eight weeks.
A 2023 clinical study demonstrated that EMS therapy can improve glute strength and stability, helping to prevent injuries, enhance athletic performance, and improve overall lower body function.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Athletes looking to strengthen lower body performance
- Those recovering from muscle imbalances or weakness
How soon will I see results?
Most patients begin to notice increased firmness and enhanced muscle tone in the glute area within four to six weeks of starting the treatment. As the sessions continue, improvements become more defined and visible.
For some, subtle changes may be felt earlier as the muscles respond to the high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation. Final results usually peak around eight to ten weeks, especially when paired with consistent sessions and a healthy lifestyle. Everyone’s body responds differently, so your exact timeline may vary. Staying hydrated and keeping up with sessions can help maximize your progress.
Does the treatment hurt?
No, the procedure is not painful. Patients typically describe the sensation as intense but tolerable muscle contractions, similar to doing a series of glute bridges or squats in rapid succession.
A comfortable experience is ensured by adjusting the intensity levels to suit your threshold. Most clients relax, read, or scroll on their phone during the 30-minute session. There may be mild post-treatment soreness, much like a workout, but it typically fades quickly. You can always speak to your provider to adjust settings if needed.
How long do results last?
Results can last up to a year with regular maintenance sessions. After the initial treatment plan, most patients return for touch-ups every 3–6 months to maintain their sculpted appearance.
Like any muscle-toning regimen, long-term effects are best supported by staying active, eating well, and following your provider’s recommended maintenance schedule. If you stop maintenance entirely, the muscles may gradually return to their pre-treatment state. Think of this as a gym for your glutes—you’ll get what you put in.
Is there any downtime?
No downtime is required after Glute Builder Therapy. You can resume your daily routine immediately following the session without any restrictions.
Some people experience mild soreness, similar to what you might feel after a workout, but this is temporary and usually subsides within a day or two. There’s no redness, bruising, or skin irritation to worry about. It’s a great option if you want results without disrupting your routine.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical treatment plan includes 4–6 sessions spaced over two to three weeks, depending on your goals and muscle response. Each session lasts around 30 minutes.
Your provider will customize a plan based on your desired results, starting point, and how your body reacts after the first couple of treatments. Some patients opt for additional sessions for more dramatic results. Your provider may also suggest a maintenance schedule after your initial series.
Who is this treatment best suited for?
Glute Builder Therapy is ideal for individuals who want to enhance their glute shape, firmness, and definition without surgery or downtime. It’s perfect for those struggling to achieve results through exercise alone.
Whether you're toning post-weight loss or simply want a lifted look, the treatment is safe for most body types and fits easily into busy schedules. However, it’s not a substitute for fat loss it’s designed for muscle toning. A consultation will determine if this treatment matches your goals.
Can it be combined with other body treatments?
Yes, Glute Builder Therapy pairs well with other Empower™ treatments or body contouring procedures like fat reduction and skin tightening.
Combining treatments can help sculpt a more balanced physique and accelerate your body goals. Always consult your provider for a tailored plan. Synergistic therapies can enhance both muscle tone and skin quality. It’s often part of a broader strategy for body contouring and aesthetic wellness.
Are the results permanent?
While Glute Builder Therapy strengthens and tones muscles, the results are not permanent without upkeep. Like with any fitness regimen, consistency is key.
Continued sessions every few months help maintain your shape, and leading an active lifestyle will support long-lasting results. If you’re committed to regular sessions and healthy habits, the benefits can be sustained indefinitely. Think of it as a long-term investment in your body.
