What Is CoolTone?
CoolTone is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body contouring treatment developed by the makers of CoolSculpting Elite. It uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) technology to induce powerful muscle contractions that are not achievable through voluntary exercise alone.
These contractions strengthen muscle fibers, resulting in improved muscle conditioning and a firmer, more toned appearance.
CoolTone is FDA-cleared in adults aged 22 and older for:
- Strengthening, toning, and firming of the abdomen, buttocks, and thigh muscles
- Stimulating healthy muscles to improve or help muscle performance; CoolTone induces muscle contractions to enhance muscle function and may, therefore, be considered a method of muscle training
- Relaxation of muscle spasms, preventing or slowing muscle weakness due to lack of use, increasing blood flow to a specific area, retraining muscles, and maintaining or increasing the range of motion
- Use under medical supervision with other therapies for treating certain medical diseases and conditions
- Stimulating leg muscles for rehabilitation therapy

How CoolTone Works at SkinDC
CoolTone uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to penetrate below the fat layer and target the muscle directly. The technology induces involuntary supramaximal muscle contractions, which trigger the body to strengthen and build muscle fibers. The result is firmer, more defined, and better-toned muscles in the treated areas.
What Does It Feel Like?
During treatment, you will feel a series of strong, involuntary muscle contractions followed by brief periods of relaxation. While the sensation is intense and unusual (similar to an extremely strong workout), most patients find it very tolerable. Our team will adjust the intensity throughout the session to maximize results while keeping you comfortable.
Each CoolTone session lasts approximately 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule. There is zero downtime—you can return to all normal activities immediately after treatment.
What to Expect With CoolTone
After your session, you may feel like you’ve had an intense workout in the treated area, with mild muscle soreness that typically resolves within a few days. Many patients experience not only improved muscle strength and tone, but also functional benefits such as reduced back pain, hip pain, knee pain, and knee instability.
Results develop gradually as your muscles strengthen and rebuild. While some improvement may be noticeable after one session, optimal results are usually achieved with a series of treatments.
Our Body Contouring Specialists will create a customized treatment plan based on your goals and anatomy.
