CoolTone
Baton Rouge
Everyone wants a toned and fit body, but many individuals don’t have the time or energy required to hit the gym regularly. CoolTone is a system that employs MMS (magnetic muscle stimulation) to bypass the need for gym-based toning by rapidly exercising your muscles for you. While CoolSculpting® freezes fat away, CoolTone tones, firms, and increases the definition of the muscles beneath — giving you abs, thighs, and buttocks that are fit and defined.
At Stephens Plastic Surgery, we combine over 25 years of surgical mastery with the latest non-invasive innovations to ensure your results are both safe and striking. Our team meticulously calibrates every CoolTone session to your unique physical goals, providing an "under-promise, over-deliver" approach that has earned us hundreds of 5-star reviews.
Uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) for involuntary contractions, firming and strengthening muscles in the abdomen, glutes, and thighs.
Zero downtime; feel the "post-workout" soreness immediately.
Each session typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes.
Best results seen after a series of 4 treatments over 2 weeks.
Allergan, the creators of CoolSculpting, realized that freezing the fat off your body may help you slim down, but attaining your ideal body shape often requires one further step: toning.
With that in mind, CoolTone was created to accelerate the toning process. CoolTone uses scientifically engineered magnetic pulses to trigger ultra-rapid muscle contractions, building muscle and creating visible muscle definition.
This cutting-edge, FDA-approved technology uses non-invasive magnetic muscle stimulation to:
CoolTone delivers 1.35T (Tesla) of magnetic muscle stimulation into the muscles, using coils that vary the magnetic force output during this advanced treatment to provide more consistent results than other similar devices. The magnetic force penetrates the fat layer into the muscle beneath, causing super-rapid, involuntary muscle contractions. When your body registers these contractions, it builds and strengthens the muscle fibers.
You cannot achieve this level of muscle stimulation with any exercise. This process improves the conditioning of the underlying muscle, creating visible muscle definition.
Since CoolTone is a non-invasive treatment, no anesthesia is needed. You will be made comfortable on a reclining bed, and the CoolTone paddle will be placed against your skin (or sometimes over your clothes). We will also cover the area with protective magnetic shielding. The paddle sends varying magnetic energy waves to the area to be treated, activating the muscles beneath the fat layer. Throughout the treatment, we will gradually increase the intensity to provide a safe, comfortable, and intensive workout for your muscles.
The procedure is not painful, but you will feel your muscles rapidly contracting during treatment. The settings can be customized, but we typically recommend higher intensities for better results. Your muscles will respond to the contractions from CoolTone by building additional muscle mass, strengthening and building fibers, and enhancing visible toned muscle definition. In studies, patients noticed a 14% increase in muscle mass within two months after a series of four treatments. Many patients experience increased tone and definition after only a single CoolTone session.
Each session typically takes 45-60 minutes. During your consultation with us, we will go over how many sessions you need to achieve the look you want. Most patients undergo four treatments initially, then have follow-up sessions every couple of months to maintain results.
CoolTone perfectly complements CoolSculpting, and the two treatments together can take you from a layer of fat and love handles on your stomach to a firm, fit, sculpted body.
CoolTone is designed to enhance muscle strength and visible definition beyond what can be accomplished at the gym. It’s a great way to firm up a soft midsection by tightening the abdominal wall. If you’re looking for a more noticeable lift in the buttocks, it works by strengthening the gluteal muscles from the inside out. It’s also incredibly helpful for anyone dealing with weak thighs or "crepey" skin, as it builds the underlying muscle support needed for a leaner, more athletic look.
CoolTone is FDA-cleared to strengthen and firm the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. This targeted approach allows patients to focus on the core and lower body for a more balanced and powerful silhouette.
Both men and women can undergo CoolTone to get a more toned and defined body. The ideal candidates for CoolTone are people in good physical health and relatively fit who are having trouble achieving visible muscle definition. If you have limited time for the gym or if the level of gym work needed to achieve your goals is unrealistic, then CoolTone might be the perfect answer for you.
CoolTone is Not Recommended for Those Who:
Zero recovery time is a fantastic benefit of our Baton Rouge CoolTone procedures. You’ll likely feel sore for several days following the procedure. a soreness similar to an intense workout, but this is a good thing because it means your treatment was successful and your muscles are in the process of building. We recommend drinking plenty of water to help reduce muscle soreness.
One to two weeks following your first CoolTone session, you’ll see results. Your muscles will become better defined after each treatment.
With proper diet and exercise, results can last up to six months, at which point periodic treatments can maintain your look.
If you’re interested in body contouring, it’s important to find a team that understands the anatomy behind the aesthetics. At Stephens Plastic Surgery, our CoolTone treatments are led by Dr. Stephens, who brings over 25 years of surgical experience to this advanced non-surgical procedure. We are firm believers in being honest with our patients; we’d much rather under-promise and over-deliver than give you unrealistic expectations.
With more than 200 five-star reviews, we’ve become a go-to in Baton Rouge for patients who want high-end care that’s safe, effective, and personalized to their unique goals.
The cost of CoolTone depends on which muscle groups you want to work out and how many treatments you’ll need. Our standard CoolTone treatment plan includes four treatments over two weeks for optimal results, with packages available from $2,500 to $4,000. Once we have evaluated the extent of the treatment to achieve your vision for your body, we can provide you with a more exact quote.
CoolTone is a muscle-toning and strengthening treatment, not a weight-loss procedure. While it will help you look firmer and more athletic, it does not significantly reduce fat. For fat reduction, we often recommend pairing CoolTone with CoolSculpting Elite for comprehensive body contouring.
The treatment feels like a series of strong muscle contractions. While it can feel intense, especially as we increase the Tesla settings for optimal results, it is not described as painful. Most patients find they quickly acclimate to the rhythmic "tapping" or "pulsing" sensation.
For the best results, we typically recommend an initial series of 4 treatments over a 2-week period. After this initial "jumpstart," many patients choose to come in for a single maintenance session every two to three months to keep their muscles firm and defined.
Yes! Many of our patients choose the "Fire and Ice" or "Freeze and Tone" protocols, which address fat and muscle in one visit. Since neither treatment requires downtime, combining them is an efficient way to achieve a total body transformation.
Because the contractions are involuntary and controlled by magnetic pulses, there is no risk of joint strain or lifting injuries, as often seen in traditional gym workouts. However, it is important to have a consultation first to ensure there are no contraindications, such as metal implants.
