Frequently Asked Questions about CoolTone™

The treatment uses a process known as Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to send electromagnetic energy into the muscles. This causes involuntary contractions that strengthen the muscles underneath the treatment area.

Unlike CoolSculpting®, which uses extreme cold to treat stubborn, excess fat, CoolTone™ cannot be used as a fat reduction treatment. The two treatments are not meant to be interchangeable. 

The treatment is very safe and requires no downtime for recovery. Some people may experience some degree of redness, swelling, tingling, or mild muscle pain, following their treatment. However, these effects are typically minor and temporary.

The length of a Cooltone™ session varies somewhat from person to person, depending on which areas and how many areas are being treated. Generally, treatments take less than an hour per area treated.

Cooltone™ results may be noticeable as early as three weeks following treatment, but the most vivid changes take about three months to become fully visible.

There’s no significant pain or discomfort associated with a typical CoolTone™ session. Most patients report feeling a sensation of warmth in the treated area, as well as intense muscle contractions, but these sensations generally dissipate within a few minutes of the treatment.

It differs from person to person, but most require four to six CoolTone™ sessions to achieve their desired results (followed by future maintenance sessions). One of our providers will base his or her recommendations for you on your existing muscle definition and your personal preferences and goals.
