CoolTone™ by CoolSculpting®

• CoolTone’s Magnetic Muscle Stimulation, or MMS technology, penetrates through the skin and fat layers to target only the muscle layer, inducing involuntary muscle contractions.
• The body’s response to these contractions is to strengthen its muscle fibers, resulting in improved muscle conditioning.
• After treatments, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs are firmer and have a more defined and toned appearance.

What is it?
The CoolTone™ procedure is a body contouring procedure that applies noninvasive electromagnetic stimulation onto the muscles. The procedure involves repeatedly contracting muscle tissues by passing electric currents through applicators that are in contact with the specific body area. The CoolTone™ procedure is FDAcleared for improving abdominal tone, strengthening the abdominal muscles, and development for firmer abdomen. Also, the CoolTone™ procedure strengthens, tones, and firms the buttocks and thighs.

What does it do?
The CoolTone™ noninvasive body contouring treatment uses magnetic muscle stimulation to strengthen, tone, and firm the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The technology penetrates below the fat layer to strengthen and tone muscles in the treated area. In the hours that follow the treatment, muscles will be firmer and have a more toned appearance. Results can vary from person to person.

How is it used? What does it feel like?
The CoolTone™ System is a prescription-use-only device and may only be used by or on the order of a physician. Your practitioner will discuss your individual treatment plan for your needs. A strap covers the applicator, and you may be dressed in a thin layer of clothing. Depending on the selected body area of treatment, one or two applicators may be applied over the targeted area. The electromagnetic stimulation is delivered through the applicator and a practitioner may adjust the intensity of the magnetic muscle
stimulation as tolerated by you. During treatment, you will feel a series of involuntary deep muscle contractions over the targeted area that will last for a few seconds followed by a period of rest.

What will it accomplish?
The CoolTone™ procedure improves abdominal tone, strengthens the abdominal muscles, and develops firmer abdomen. Also, the CoolTone™ procedure strengthens, tones, and firms the buttocks and thighs. Results and patient experience may vary.
