CoolTone™ is an innovative body sculpting treatment that can tone and strengthen muscles in the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks through MMS—or magnetic muscle stimulation—technology.
CoolTone™ can be a simple, convenient, and effective technique to gain a firmer, more toned physique without downtime or surgery. Each treatment is performed in-office and only takes approximately 30 minutes per area. Available at our San Jose and Sacramento-area practice, this FDA-approved body contouring treatment can be the perfect complement to non-invasive fat reduction with CoolSculpting®.
How Does CoolTone™ Work?
The MMS technology utilized by CoolTone™ delivers magnetic pulses to the deeper muscle layers, which catalyze contraction of the body’s muscle fibers. These involuntary muscle contractions can strengthen, firm, and tone the area(s) of treatment.
Since the muscles are naturally good conductors of the magnetic field emitted by the CoolTone™ system, this treatment has been proven to be highly effective in conditioning the abdominal muscles, as well as muscles in the thighs or buttocks.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolTone™?
CoolTone™ is usually most successful for active individuals who are near their ideal weight and who have a healthy body mass index (BMI). Like all cosmetic and medical procedures, there are certain factors that indicate CoolTone™ may not be the best treatment option for all patients. These contraindications include those who use hearing aids, cochlear implants, implanted defibrillators or neurostimulators, or other metal/ electronic implants. During your appointment, our experienced aesthetic professionals or board-certified plastic surgeons will review your medical history to help determine whether you are a good candidate for CoolTone™.
When Will I See My CoolTone™ Results?
It typically takes four to six CoolTone™ treatments to see a noticeable difference in the targeted area(s). That said, many patients report feeling more strength in their core after just one appointment. Once you finish all of the sessions in your treatment plan, additional CoolTone™ treatments can be pursued as necessary to enhance or maintain your results. CoolTone™ memberships are also available at our practice to make it easier for you to preserve the outcome.
Are There Any CoolTone™ Side Effects?
While side effects occur infrequently, CoolTone™ may cause redness, swelling, temporary muscle spasms, mild cramping, or muscle aches. Should they occur, these reactions can be controlled well with over-the-counter pain medication. Always be sure to select a qualified aesthetic provider to perform your CoolTone™ treatment in order to minimize the possibility of side effects and other negative reactions. We will thoroughly evaluate your candidacy for CoolTone™ before your treatment to help ensure the highest levels of patient safety.
Does CoolTone™ Hurt?
During treatment, patients commonly report a warm sensation as they feel their muscles contract. This feeling is described as easily tolerable and should dissipate naturally after a few minutes. Mild muscle cramping after CoolTone™ is rare, but a possible effect of treatment.
Treat to Complete
The most visible and effective results are often achieved when patients complete a CoolTone™ treatment plan consisting of multiple sessions. As touch-up treatments are often necessary to preserve the toned and well-defined contours of your body, Liu Plastic Surgery offers a membership plan to make ongoing maintenance more convenient and cost-effective for CoolTone™ patients.
Those who pursue treatment can also earn BrilliantDistinctions® rewards that can help them save on Allergan® products and services, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic. Dr. Jerome Liu and Dr. Tom Liu generally recommend four to six CoolTone™ treatments to achieve a comprehensive outcome.
