Treatment Overview
At The Face Institute, we offer Mini Muscle Target Therapy, a specialized treatment designed to sculpt and strengthen specific muscle groups such as the calves, arms, and legs using advanced EMS technology. This non-invasive therapy delivers deep muscle contractions, helping individuals achieve improved muscle definition, endurance, and performance in targeted areas.
Mini Muscle Target Therapy is perfect for those looking to refine specific muscle groups, enhance recovery after injury, or improve overall strength and muscle tone without excessive weight training.
How Empower Tone Works
Empower Tone uses electrical muscle stimulation to send controlled impulses directly to targeted muscles, activating deep contractions that mimic intense workouts.
Step 1: Targeted Muscle Activation
Electrical pulses stimulate isolated muscle groups, enhancing strength and endurance.
Step 2: Muscle Sculpting
Each session delivers contractions equivalent to thousands of repetitions, defining and strengthening the targeted muscles.
Step 3: Strength and Performance Enhancement
With consistent treatments, muscle tone improves, endurance increases, and the risk of injury is reduced.
Scientific Credentials and Studies on EMS for Targeted Muscle Strengthening
EMS therapy has been extensively researched for its ability to enhance muscle strength and endurance. A study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that EMS can increase muscle activation by 30% compared to traditional strength training.
A 2023 clinical trial demonstrated that targeted EMS treatments improved muscle recovery and reduced muscle fatigue, making it an effective therapy for athletes and individuals recovering from muscle imbalances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Individuals looking to tone and strengthen specific muscle groups
- Athletes seeking improved muscle endurance and recovery
- Those with muscle imbalances or post-injury recovery needs
How soon will I see results?
Most patients start noticing increased muscle tone and strength in targeted areas such as calves, arms, and legs within four to six weeks after beginning treatment. The muscles respond gradually to the electromagnetic stimulation, building firmness and definition over time.
Individual results can vary depending on your baseline fitness and how consistently you attend sessions. With each treatment, muscle endurance and appearance improve, leading to more noticeable sculpting after a full treatment series. Staying consistent with your sessions and pairing them with regular exercise will help maximize your results.
Does the treatment hurt?
No, the procedure is not painful. Patients typically feel strong but comfortable muscle contractions during the session, similar to the sensation of an intense workout but without any physical exertion on your part.
The device intensity can be adjusted to match your comfort level, ensuring a tolerable experience throughout the treatment. Most patients find the sessions relaxing and are able to go about their day immediately afterward without discomfort. Because it’s non-invasive, there’s no risk of injury or bruising, unlike some other muscle treatments.
How long do results last?
Results from Mini Muscle Target Therapy can last up to a year with periodic maintenance sessions. After completing the initial treatment series, scheduling follow-up appointments every few months helps sustain muscle tone and strength.
Like any muscle conditioning program, continued activity and healthy habits contribute to longer-lasting results. Skipping maintenance treatments may cause gradual loss of muscle definition over time. Your provider can help develop a maintenance schedule tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
Is there any downtime?
No downtime is required following treatment. Patients can immediately return to their normal daily routines and activities without any restrictions.
Some mild soreness or muscle fatigue similar to that experienced after a workout may occur but typically resolves within a day or two. There is no bruising or skin irritation associated with this therapy. This makes it ideal for people with busy schedules who want effective results without interruption.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical treatment plan consists of 4 to 6 sessions spaced about one to two weeks apart, depending on your goals and muscle response.
Each session lasts roughly 30 minutes, allowing it to easily fit into busy schedules. Your provider will tailor the number of sessions to your specific needs for optimal results. After your initial treatment series, maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain muscle tone long term.
Who is a good candidate for Mini Muscle Target Therapy?
This treatment is well-suited for individuals wanting to tone and strengthen specific muscle groups such as calves, arms, or legs without invasive procedures or intense gym workouts.
It’s especially beneficial for those recovering from injury, with limited mobility, or simply looking to improve muscle definition in hard-to-target areas. A consultation will help determine if it’s the right option for you. Patients of most fitness levels can benefit, provided there are no contraindications.
Can this therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Mini Muscle Target Therapy pairs well with other body contouring and skin tightening treatments to enhance overall aesthetics and muscle tone.
Combining it with fat reduction or skin rejuvenation therapies can create a more sculpted and balanced look. Your provider can develop a customized plan incorporating multiple modalities for comprehensive results. This multi-faceted approach helps maximize the overall transformation.
Are the results permanent?
While this therapy builds and tones muscle effectively, results are not permanent without maintenance and lifestyle support.
Regular follow-up sessions and continued physical activity help preserve muscle strength and definition. Think of it as an advanced workout that requires occasional upkeep to sustain the benefits. Staying active and maintaining a healthy diet will also help you hold on to your gains longer.
