CoolTone is an FDA-cleared device that can tone and strengthen muscles in certain areas of the body, including the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Similar to how your favorite workout can help define these areas, targeted CoolTone treatments can leave them looking toned and defined.

This might be a result of weak pelvic floor muscles since pelvic floor muscles play an important role in supporting pelvic organs and controlling continence. Physiological changes can contribute to the development of urinary incontinence; changes such as vaginal delivery, menopause, and aging can decondition pelvic floor muscles.

Since CoolTone® treatment is noninvasive, it’s pretty straightforward. The applicator is placed onto the desired treatment area, and then it goes to work by stimulating muscle contractions. It may feel intense, similar to how your abs might “burn” from holding a plank. Post-treatment, you could notice some residual muscle soreness—like what you might feel after a particularly tough Pilates class. This is totally normal and, for many people, can be a satisfying sign of improving muscle tone. You may experience muscular pain, temporary muscle spasm, temporary joint or tendon pain, and redness at or near the treatment site—everyone’s experience is different.

Each treatment typically takes 30 minutes. For most patients, 4 to 8 treatments are recommended over the course of 2 to 4 weeks to achieve body contouring results.

Just as it’s impossible to predict exactly when you’d see results from a new ab series you started, there’s no precise timeline for the exact moment you can expect to see results from CoolTone®. Generally, though, most people notice results after a series of four to eight CoolTone® treatments.

You know that expression “if you don’t use it, you lose it”? That applies to any and all forms of muscle toning, including CoolTone®, which isn’t permanent. It’s key to continue your current fitness routine even after CoolTone® treatments to help maintain your results. Your provider may recommend maintenance treatments after your initial treatment series.

One of the best aspects of CoolTone® is the fact that it’s noninvasive. Translation: Post CoolTone® treatment, you may experience muscle, joint, or tendon pain, muscle spasm, and skin redness at or near the treatment area, but typically, you should be able to go about your daily activities as you normally would. Just don’t forget to schedule your follow-up appointment.

Only a licensed provider can determine that based on your medical history, but we can say that most candidates for this treatment are close to their ideal body weight and do not have a contraindication to treatment.
