CoolTone’s Magnetic Muscle Stimulation, or MMS technology, penetrates through the skin and fat layers to target the muscle layers, inducing involuntary muscle contractions.

During a CoolTone treatment, an applicator is used to deliver energy resulting in contraction of the muscle tissue. Approximately 25,000 supramaximal muscle contractions will occur during a single session. These contractions are much more powerful than the voluntary contractions that occur while performing exercises such as sit ups and crunches or squats and occur at a much faster rate than such exercises can provide. The body responds to these contractions by remodeling and developing muscle tissue resulting in improved muscle strength, firmness and toning.

The process allows patients to receive natural looking tone and contours without a surgical procedure.

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.

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

You may notice results within just a few weeks, with the most noticeable changes occurring after about three months. We will recommend the right number of treatment sessions for your needs, but generally about 4-8 sessions are needed to start for the best results then you can do maintenance as needed/desired (it is a muscle and if you don’t use it, you will lose it).

The first step in your CoolTone experience at Omni Centers is a personalized consultation where we will talk with you about your goals, evaluate your targeted treatment areas, and help you decide whether CoolTone is right for you. When you are ready to start your treatment, we will perform the procedure by placing the device over the treatment area, where it will begin to stimulate involuntary muscular contractions. Many patients describe feeling warm muscle contractions at the beginning of the treatment, which is a sign of your muscles strengthening! After the first few minutes of treatment, the intensity will dissipate. After the procedure, which takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the area being treated, you may experience some mild muscle pain, cramping, redness, tingling, or swelling.
