CoolTone technology penetrates the various muscle layers and causes involuntary muscle contractions. The body responds to these contractions by firming up its muscle fibers, ensuing improved muscle firmness and toning. Whether targeting stomach, buttocks or thighs, CoolTone strengthens, tones and shapes the muscles in the treated area, resulting in a more well-defined and toned appearance. These contractions are much more powerful than the voluntary contractions that occur while performing exercises such as sit ups and crunches and occur at a much faster rate than such exercises can provide.

Allergan, the company who manufactured CoolTone, conducted many clinical studies with multiple patients targeted specifically on the areas of the abdomen and buttocks. The studies measured fat and muscle with imaging (CT scans and MRI studies) by comparing the before and after treatment photos on the patients. The results of the studies show how effective CoolTone is at increasing muscle mass.

Clinical studies show the best results with a total of 6 treatments for the abdomen and buttocks treated for 30 minutes, twice a week for 2 weeks. To maintain your initial results, we recommend an additional treatment every 3-6 months.

Ideal candidates are persons who are already physically active and adhere to a healthy diet and lifestyle consistently, but desire more definition of their abs or lifting of their buttocks.

Areas well-suited for the treatment process may include:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Triceps (upper arms)
• Thighs

CoolTone is only for muscle building. At Pure Luxe Madspa, we recommend a combination of CoolSculpting, the best fat loss technology along with CoolTone for a more complete body contouring solution.

In clinical studies, patients gained 16% muscle mass after a series of 4 treatments with the CoolTone system.

No preparation is required prior to CoolTone treatment. As your muscles in the treatment area will be strongly contracting, prepare as you would a rigorous strength training session at the gym. Empty your bladder and avoid a filling meal prior to treatment.

The area of treatment may be mildly sore, just like a strength-training workout. This may persist for a day following the treatment.

In the clinical studies, an estimated 16% increase in muscle mass and reduction of fat were measured 2 months after the 4th treatment. However, some patients claimed to notice increased muscle tone of the abs one day following the treatment.

CoolTone is not painful – it simply feels like a series of strong muscle contractions. Thinner patients may feel CoolTone treatments more and a decrease in energy. We have found many patients tend to instinctively smile or laugh during the first few minutes, then the body adapts to the rhythm of muscle contractions and it’s easily tolerated with no issues.
