You may be a patient of ours who has seen the dynamic changes after CoolSculpting, or you might be a new patient wondering what is available in the world of non-invasive body sculpting. If either of these describes you, please take some time to learn more about CoolTone®, the latest technology added at Park Meadows Aesthetics.
How Does CoolTone® Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) Work?
CoolTone® is the newest non-invasive technology in body sculpting that builds, strengthens, and tones muscles. As an FDA-approved, non-invasive product, its technology causes involuntary contractions, which strengthen muscle fibers in the treated area, leading to a stronger, firmer, and more toned appearance. Treatment areas that have been FDA-cleared include the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.
CoolTone® features intentionally designed pulse programming that’s informed by muscle science and elite athletic performance. Variable pulse patterns alternate frequencies to warm up, tone, firm, and strengthen muscles while also providing active recovery.
During treatment, the CoolTone device will send electromagnetic pulses into your muscles, which will cause them to contract involuntarily. Many patients compare the sensation to a light muscle spasm without the pain.
Magnetic Stimulation Selectively Targets Muscles
The electromagnetic field generates a current when in contact with a conductive material at a given frequency. Skin and fat are poor conductors while muscle is a good conductor. As the current penetrates the muscle tissue, the motor units are stimulated. This creates powerful muscle contractions to improve tone and strength.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
At Park Meadows Aesthetics, we build your plan around your body, goals, and lifestyle. Here’s how the process usually works:
Step 1: Your Consultation
Before beginning treatment, you’ll meet with one of our experienced providers to discuss your goals and review your medical history. If CoolTone® is a good fit for you, your provider will perform a physical assessment and identify the best areas for treatment. We’ll also take baseline photos to help you track your progress.
Step 2: Your Treatment Series
Most patients complete eight treatments over four weeks, with sessions scheduled twice per week. Each visit takes about 30 minutes.
During treatment, applicators are placed on the targeted muscle group. The CoolTone® device uses magnetic energy to cause deep, involuntary muscle contractions. These contractions feel like strong muscle spasms, but aren’t painful.
Between cycles, your muscles briefly rest, similar to how you would rest during a high-intensity workout.
Step 3: Monitoring Your Progress
Throughout your treatment series, we’ll continue tracking your progress using photos and physical assessments. Your provider may adjust settings as your muscles grow to help you keep building on your results.
Step 4: Maintenance and Long-Term Results
To keep your muscle tone and definition, we recommend ongoing maintenance sessions. Most patients return for a quick once-a-month session after the initial series. We will help you create a realistic schedule that works with your exercise routine and lifestyle.
What Are the Benefits of CoolTone?
Some studies show that, on average, CoolTone patients saw a 27.4% decrease in subcutaneous fat at their six-month follow-up.
Other benefits of CoolTone include:
- Reduces small amounts of unwanted fat in treated areas
- Helps with fat reduction and muscle toning.
- Increases fat metabolism, which is permanent
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for the CoolTone Procedure?
Adults who are near their target weight but looking for a way to improve muscle definition, tone, texture, and body contour in Lone Tree, CO, will be great candidates for our CoolTone procedure. Candidates should be non-smokers, in overall good health, and be able to maintain a stable weight before and after their procedure.
Ideal candidates for CoolTone can also include:
- Patients who cannot achieve the desired muscle definition through a healthy diet and exercise.
- Patients who are already physically fit eat a healthy diet and practice a healthy lifestyle.
- Patients who can maintain realistic expectations regarding the results of their CoolTone treatment.
Clearing up Myths and Misconceptions about CoolTone
There are multiple misconceptions about CoolTone. Many people find it discouraging when traditional weight loss methods such as dieting and exercising no longer produce results on their bodies. Luckily, CoolTone can help. However, there are multiple misconceptions about CoolTone that we can debunk:
“CoolTone treatment is painful.” The CoolTone procedure is not painful. Most patients report this as a painless procedure. The feeling of your muscles contracting is the main sensation that can be felt.
“CoolTone is a weight loss treatment.”CoolTone should not be used as a weight-loss treatment, even though it is a fat-reduction procedure. Patients should continue maintaining a balanced diet and exercise routine in addition to their CoolTone treatment to achieve the best results.
“CoolTone provides instant results.” While it is true that immediate improvement in body sculpting can be seen after a single session of CoolTone treatment, the best results will be seen after a number of sessions spaced apart based on your customized treatment plan. When paired with your healthy lifestyle, your results will become positively noticeable after several weeks.
How Can I Prepare for My CoolTone Treatment?
CoolTone treatment doesn't require any special preparation. However, some recommend a few things to make the process easier.
- Avoid eating a big meal before treatment.
- Empty your bladder before treatment.
- Remove jewelry, metal clothing, and electronic devices
- Allow yourself a little extra time before your appointment
Are There Any Risks with CoolTone?
While CoolTone treatments are safe and effective, patients should be aware of the following risks, which may include:
- Muscle pain
- Skin redness, possibly for several days
- Temporary muscle spasm
- Temporary joint or tendon pain
- Discomfort for several hours after treatment
How Much Does CoolTone Treatment Cost?
Our CoolTone treatments start at $300/treatment and are reduced when you buy a package. The total cost of your treatment will depend on the size of the area treated - abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. The total cost will depend on how many treatments you need for the desired result. Your Body Contouring Specialist will create a customized plan depending on your needs.
Can I Finance My CoolTone Treatment?
At Park Meadows Aesthetics, we are happy to work with each patient to find the best financing options for you. Because CoolTone is typically an aesthetic procedure, health insurance usually does not cover any part of the cost of your treatment. However, if your weight loss was deemed medically necessary, we encourage patients to consult their primary health insurance provider to find out about coverage benefits for the CoolTone procedure.
How to Maximize CoolTone® Results With Diet and Exercise
To get the most out of your CoolTone® treatments, you want to support your results with a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet rich in lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates provides the fuel your muscles need to recover and grow. Staying hydrated also helps your muscles perform at their best.
Consistent physical activity, especially strength training and core work, will extend and enhance your CoolTone® results. Think of CoolTone® as a boost to your routine, not a replacement for it. Your provider can also share tips to integrate exercise and nutrition for long-term muscle maintenance.

How Long Do CoolTone® Results Typically Last With Maintenance?
With a healthy lifestyle, the results of your CoolTone® treatment can last indefinitely. Muscle tone and strength improve during the initial treatment phase and can be preserved with regular upkeep, typically one maintenance session per month.
Like any workout-based result, your body needs continued stimulation to keep the muscles firm and defined. Staying active between sessions will help you maintain the look and feel of your results.
Is CoolTone® Safe for Postpartum Abdominal Toning?
Yes, CoolTone® is considered safe for many postpartum patients once cleared by their OB/GYN. It can be a helpful tool for rebuilding core strength and improving abdominal tone after pregnancy.
However, the treatment should not be performed during pregnancy or immediately after childbirth. If you're experiencing diastasis recti or recovering from a C-section, your provider will assess whether CoolTone® is appropriate for your stage of healing.
What Should I Wear to a CoolTone® Appointment?
Wear comfortable, flexible clothing to your appointment, similar to what you’d wear to a workout or yoga session. Avoid garments with metal (like zippers or underwire bras), and remove any jewelry or electronic devices before your session.
Many of our clients wear athletic pants or leggings with a lightweight top. We may ask you to adjust your clothing slightly depending on the area we’re treating.
Can CoolTone® Be Combined With CoolSculpting® in One Session?
Yes, CoolTone® and CoolSculpting® can be safely combined in the same session, depending on your treatment plan and tolerance. CoolSculpting® helps reduce subcutaneous fat, while CoolTone® defines the muscles underneath.
Your provider will help you determine the best way to schedule these treatments based on your anatomy, goals, and comfort level.
