For the muscle, not the fat.
in Jonesboro, AR.
Tone uses electrical muscle stimulation to work the muscle in an area. Non-surgical, no cutting, and nothing to recover from.
Tone by InMode is a non-surgical treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation to contract the muscle in the abdomen, glutes, arms or thighs, delivered as a course of sessions. It treats muscle tone rather than fat, so it is a different answer from liposuction. It is done at Lux Lipo in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and cost is quoted at your consultation.
Here’s exactly what happens at a first visit — and you can come and see the place before you book anything.
Muscle stimulation, not fat removal.
Tone delivers electrical muscle stimulation to the treated area, making the muscle contract repeatedly in a way that is hard to reproduce voluntarily.
It is aimed at muscle tone. It does not remove fat and it is not a weight-loss treatment. The areas offered are the abdomen, glutes, arms and thighs.
There is no cutting, no anesthetic and no incision. You lie down, the applicators go on, and the muscle does the work.
Tone the muscle under the fat, or remove the fat.
These treat two different layers, and the mirror does not always make it obvious which one you are looking at.
If there is a layer of fat that has not moved with diet and exercise, toning the muscle underneath will not change the outline much. Removing the fat is the answer. More about awake liposuction.
If you are lean but the area looks soft, and the shape you want is definition rather than a smaller outline, that is a muscle question and Tone is the conversation.
Plenty of people are told at consultation that they need the other one. That is the point of assessing before booking a course.
Lean enough already, wanting definition.
This is probably you if you are close to a weight you are comfortable at, exercise reasonably regularly, and want the abdomen, glutes, arms or thighs to look more defined rather than smaller.
It suits people who want a non-surgical option with nothing to recover from.
This probably is not you if there is a significant layer of fat over the muscle, or if what you actually want is weight loss. We will tell you that rather than sell you a course.
Strong contractions, not pain.
Most people describe it as intense but not painful: the muscle tightening hard and releasing, over and over, while you lie still. It is a strange sensation before it is an uncomfortable one, and the intensity is adjusted to what you can tolerate.
You can ask to stop at any point.
What happens, in order.
-
A consultation, where the area is assessed and it is established whether muscle or fat is the issue.
-
The applicators are positioned and the intensity built up to a level you can tolerate.
-
The session runs while you lie down, with nothing to recover from afterwards.
-
The next session in the course, at the interval your physician sets.
Back to your day straight away.
There is no downtime. Some people feel as though they have exercised the area, in the way you would after an unfamiliar workout, and that settles on its own.
Any specific advice for your course is given to you at the appointment.
A course, and then keeping it.
Muscle responds to repetition, so this is a course rather than a single visit, and the change builds across it rather than appearing after one session.
Muscle tone is maintained rather than banked. What you do afterwards matters, and your physician will be straight with you about that. Individual results vary.
Cost is quoted in writing at your consultation.
Cost depends on the treatment plan you and your physician settle on, so we quote it at your consultation rather than guessing here. We offer financing.
We see patients from Jonesboro, Paragould and across Northeast Arkansas, and some travel from the Missouri Bootheel.
What to weigh up.
This is non-surgical, so the risks are modest: muscle soreness of the kind you get after unfamiliar exercise, temporary redness, or discomfort if the intensity is set too high.
Tell your physician about any implanted electrical device, metal in the treatment area, pregnancy, or a medical condition affecting your muscles or nerves, because those affect whether this is appropriate for you.
A physician assesses you first.

What is Tone by InMode?
It is a non-surgical treatment that uses electrical muscle stimulation to contract the muscle in the treated area. It is offered for the abdomen, glutes, arms and thighs.
Does it remove fat?
No. Tone treats muscle. If there is a layer of fat over the area, removing that is a liposuction conversation, and toning the muscle underneath will not change the outline much.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe strong contractions rather than pain. The intensity is adjusted to what you can tolerate and you can ask to stop at any point.
How many sessions will I need?
It is a course rather than a single visit. The number and the interval are set at your consultation, and we do not publish an average because it depends on the area and on you.
Is there downtime?
No. Some people feel as though they have exercised the area afterwards, which settles on its own.
Will the result last?
Muscle tone is maintained rather than banked, so what you do afterwards matters. Your physician will tell you what keeping it looks like in your case.
What does it cost?
Cost depends on the area and the number of sessions, so we quote it at your consultation rather than guessing here. Financing is available.
Come in.
Or book ahead.
A consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. We'll tell you honestly what's realistic for you.
