CoolTone Overview
Experience you can trust!
Even with the most rigorous fitness regimen, it is common to hit a roadblock and feel like nothing is working anymore. We all have trouble areas we fixate on –abdomen, thighs, or buttocks –that seem to have become resistant to toning. So, what if there’s a sweat-free way to tone and firm these areas so you can finally break that plateau and take your muscle strengthening to the next level?
This is where Cosmetic Laser Dermatology comes in. As experts in body sculpting in San Diego, we are always on the lookout for the latest advancements in contouring. Allow us to introduce you to the latest innovation in body sculpting –newly FDA-approved CoolTone by the makers of Coolsculpting. Sounds too good to be true? This game-changing treatment has the science to back it up.
What Is CoolTone?
CoolTone is the newest addition to the Allergan portfolio. If CoolSculpting is the clinically proven treatment that non-surgically reduces unwanted fat using a patented cooling technology, CoolTone focuses on electromagnetic muscle stimulation. This latest innovation has recently been FDA-cleared to tone, firm, and strengthen the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. This technology, however, is intended as a supplement to healthy and active lifestyles, and not as a substitute for clean eating and regular exercise.
The Cooltone can be used to improve:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- (Beneficial effects on other areas are presently under investigation)
The experts at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology also combine CoolTone with other body contouring treatments, an innovative approach we call Cool³. We take results to the next level by performing CoolSculpting, CoolTone, and Zimmer Z Wave in a single session. Other treatment options might include liposculpture and nonsurgical skin tightening using the ThermiTight device.
What to Expect
CoolTone utilizes magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS technology) to penetrate through the skin and fat targeting your muscle layers to induce involuntary muscle contractions. Your body responds to these contractions by strengthening your muscle fibers, thus giving a boost to muscle conditioning. The CoolTone device is indicated for the strengthening of the abdominal muscles, improvement of abdominal tone, and developing a firmer, more sculpted abdomen. It can also be used to strengthen, tone, and firm buttocks and thighs. And compared to its leading competitor, CoolTone has 50 percent more magnetic intensity (1.35 T versus 0.9 T) at the point of contact.

Implanted defibrillators

Alternative Options
Non-invasive body sculpting treatments are a great option for busy men and women who want to reduce their stubborn fat without undergoing surgery and a long recovery period. Here are minimally invasive body contouring procedures offered at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego:
Cool³
The Cool³ proprietary combination procedure was developed exclusively at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology as a powerful, non-surgical technique for body sculpting.
The procedure involves combining popular body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting Elite, CoolTone, Zimmer Z-Wave Acoustic Therapy, liposculpture, and ThermiSculpt/ThermiTight to achieve optimal body shaping and fat removal results. When combined, these minimally invasive body sculpting procedures can help transform your body by effectively removing fat and tightening muscle.
CoolSculpting
This treatment is not only one of the most popular body contouring procedures at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, but also in the entire country. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body sculpting treatment that uses cryolipolysis to great effect. Specifically, fat cells in the targeted area are frozen and destroyed without harming surrounding tissue or injuring the skin. Your body’s natural mechanisms will then gradually and safely flush out the destroyed cells, leaving you with firmer skin and a more contoured shape.
Vanquish
Vanquish is a unique fat reduction system that works by effectively heating and killing stubborn fat cells in the waist and stomach area. It uses radio frequency to heat the fat cells to 120 degrees, destroying them without harming the skin or adjacent tissue. This non-invasive procedure is not painful and patients only feel a warm sensation on the treatment area.
Thermi System
The minimally-invasive Thermi System makes use of a small cannula that is placed under the skin, reaching the layer of unwanted fat cells and delivering radiofrequency energy to heat the fat tissue. This causes the fat cells to melt and naturally be disposed by the body which over time, will reveal new contours.
