You’re working hard to look and feel your best—we see you! But sometimes sticking to a strict diet or workout routine isn’t easy, and results don’t always show up where you want them. That’s where science steps in!
Drs. Dieter Manstein and Rox Anderson of Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital discovered cryolipolysis—freezing fat cells could reduce stubborn fat without surgical intervention. This breakthrough led them to develop CoolSculpting and CoolTone, one treatment that uses controlled cooling and one that uses magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) to eliminate fat cells and enhance muscle tone, respectively.
Both CoolSculpting and CoolTone offer their own benefits, so deciding which one to choose depends on your body goals and what you’re hoping to achieve. Let’s take a deeper look at each body contouring treatment to find out which path fits your journey!
Are you struggling with areas like love handles, belly fat, or bra bulges that won’t budge? CoolSculpting might be your answer.
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to target fat reduction in specific areas of your body. Over time, your body naturally flushes out these frozen fat cells, leaving behind a more sculpted body. It’s a non-invasive, non-surgical solution designed for those hard-to-target fat pockets that diet and exercise can’t seem to touch.
CoolSculpting is FDA-approved for reducing fat in multiple areas:
Results from a CoolSculpting session take time. While some patients start noticing changes in as little as three weeks post-treatment, the most dramatic results typically appear within two to three months. Multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help prolong the effects.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is still key to sustaining results. Although CoolSculpting permanently eliminates treated fat cells, weight gain can cause the remaining fat cells in the body to expand, potentially altering overall body composition and post-treatment results.
Pure Aesthetics offers the newest generation of CoolSculpting technology known as CoolSculpting Elite. In these CoolSculpting Elite sessions, we can treat more areas than any other nonsurgical fat-reduction device at one time. The compact machine design uses a C shaped cup applicator compared to the classic U-shaped cup, giving it 18% more tissue contact, suction, and an even cooling result. In short, it’s faster, less sticky, and treats more fat cells. With quadsculpting, two CoolSculpting Elite machines can treat up to four areas at once. Find out more about our services here.
If your goal is to enhance muscle definition rather than reduce fat, CoolTone is your go-to treatment. CoolTone uses magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) to induce rapid muscle contractions—far stronger than what your body can achieve during exercise. This process strengthens muscle fibers and sculpts muscle tissue in 30-minute sessions.
The biggest difference between CoolSculpting and CoolTone is that while CoolSculpting targets fat layers, CoolTone works directly on muscle tissue to enhance muscle tone and improve overall muscle definition. Since CoolTone treatments do not eliminate unwanted fat,
it’s ideal for patients who are already at or near their goal weight but want to unlock increased muscle definition.
CoolTone is FDA-approved to tone muscles in these core areas:
Patients typically start noticing increased muscle definition within two to four weeks after their first CoolTone treatment session. However, optimal results develop after a full treatment plan (usually 4 to 8 sessions over 2 to 4 weeks) and improve body contouring further with continued active habits.
Neither contouring treatment is a substitute for regular exercise or a healthy lifestyle. CoolTone improves muscle tone, but it doesn’t build overall fitness or endurance like strength training. The most significant difference in muscle definition comes with a combination of leading an active lifestyle and a balanced diet because together, they are more likely to help maintain your sculpted body shape.
We offer the latest in body-contouring technology with our CoolTone treatments. In 30-minute sessions over a period of time, we can help you achieve the muscle definition you’re looking for—flatter stomach, firmer thighs, or tighter buttocks.
Similar to how your favorite workout can help define these areas, targeted CoolTone can leave the targeted areas feeling stronger and looking toned and sculpted. After the treatment, it feels exactly like a hard workout. You may experience muscle pain for several hours, but it does subside. Over time, and with additional sessions, you’ll notice a firmer appearance in the treated areas. Find out more about our CoolTone services here.
For the best results, some patients choose combining CoolSculpting with CoolTone to achieve a more defined overall look. Starting with CoolSculpting to freeze and eliminate stubborn fat
cells, then following up with CoolTone to strengthen and define muscles, can create a more sculpted and toned appearance. This sister treatment approach helps refine your body shape by addressing both fat reduction and muscle toning, leaving you with a leaner, more contoured look.
