Book NowFrequently Asked Questions
How Does CoolTone Work?
CoolTone utilizes Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to deliver high-frequency electromagnetic pulses to targeted muscle groups. In just 30 minutes, CoolTone causes your muscles to contract 20,000 times, leaving patients with stronger and more defined muscles. These pulses trigger motor nerves within the muscle fibers, stimulating both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. This process induces supramaximal muscle contractions, leading to increased muscle mass, strength, definition, and tone.
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolTone?
CoolTone is suitable for healthy adults seeking visible muscle definition not attainable through a healthy and active lifestyle alone. Ideal candidates are near their goal weight and looking to enhance muscle tone in specific areas.
When Should I Avoid CoolTone?
Avoid CoolTone if you have:
- Metal or electrical implants in the treatment area
- Pacemakers, metal prostheses, or implanted defibrillators
- Neurostimulators or drug pumps
- Pregnancy or epilepsy
- Recent surgical procedures in the area to be treated
What Are Common Areas of CoolTone Application?
CoolTone can target various muscle groups, with the most popular areas being:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Arms
How Do I Prepare for CoolTone?
Preparation for CoolTone is minimal. Wear comfortable clothing as you will be lying down for 30 minutes. Ensure your phone is put away during the treatment, as the machine’s electromagnetic pulses can damage electronic devices.
What Is the Actual Process of CoolTone?
During your initial consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg, he will determine if you are a suitable candidate for CoolTone. During the treatment, you will lie on a reclined medical chair while the CoolTone applicators are strapped to the target area. The machine is set to a comfortable intensity level, and you may experience twitching or mild electric shock sensations as the muscles contract. After 30 minutes, the session is complete, and you can resume normal activities immediately.
How Long Does It Take to CoolTone?
Each CoolTone session lasts 30 minutes. If you choose to treat multiple areas, the total time will increase accordingly.
Is There Any Aftercare?
CoolTone requires no specific aftercare. You can return to your regular daily activities, including working out, immediately after your session.
What Is the Downtime?
CoolTone involves no downtime. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure without any restrictions.
Are There Any Risks and Complications to Know?
CoolTone is a safe procedure with essentially no risks. Some patients may experience muscle soreness or redness, similar to after an intense workout. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours to days.
When Will I See the Results?
Results from CoolTone can be seen within a few days to 2 weeks. The initial “pump” effect will transition into longer-lasting muscle enhancement with continued sessions.
How Long Do Results Last?
CoolTone results can last as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Most patients schedule monthly follow-up sessions to maintain their results after the initial 4-6 sessions.
How Many Sessions of CoolTone Will I Need?
For optimal results, 4-6 sessions over a two-week period are recommended. Monthly maintenance sessions help sustain the results.
Is CoolTone Safe?
Yes, CoolTone is FDA-approved and safe for most patients. It is a non-invasive procedure with minimal side effects and no required downtime.
Does CoolTone Hurt?
CoolTone may cause sensations of muscle spasms, twitches, or mild discomfort similar to a vigorous workout. These sensations last only for the duration of the session.
What Is the Cost of CoolTone?
The cost of CoolTone ranges from $400 to $1000 per session, depending on the treatment area, the number of sessions, and the location of the practice. Package deals are often available for multiple sessions to reduce the overall cost.
Is CoolTone Better Than EmSculpt?
CoolTone and EmSculpt are similar in that both utilize electromagnetic muscle stimulation to strengthen and define targeted muscles. A notable advantage of EmSculpt is its dual action of simultaneously reducing fat while strengthening muscles. However, CoolTone delivers 40% more magnetic intensity than EmSculpt, potentially leading to more enhanced muscle definition and strength.
Is CoolTone Same As CoolSculpting?
Contrary to popular belief, CoolTone and CoolSculpting are quite different despite sharing the “cool” in their names and being manufactured by Allergan. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells, leading to permanent fat reduction over several weeks. On the other hand, CoolTone uses electromagnetic muscle stimulation to induce involuntary muscle contractions, strengthening and defining the underlying muscles.
While some may compare CoolSculpting vs CoolTone, it’s important to note that they serve different purposes: CoolSculpting reduces fat, while CoolTone enhances muscle definition. These treatments can be combined for a comprehensive body contouring approach.
What Other Treatments Complement CoolTone?
CoolTone can be combined with other body sculpting treatments for enhanced results. Popular combinations include:
- CoolSculpting: To eliminate unwanted fat and enhance muscle definition.
- Sculptra Butt Lift: To add volume to the buttocks and hips for an hourglass figure.
Is CoolTone Worth It?
CoolTone is an effective solution for achieving enhanced muscle definition and strength without the need for surgery or extensive workouts. It is a valuable investment for those looking to improve their physique and confidence.
