Guess what? We are now providers of the latest body contouring advancement! From the makers of CoolSculpting®, we bring you CoolTone™, a non-invasive muscle toning treatment! Whereas CoolSculpting reduces unwanted fat in specific areas, CoolTone helps to tone and firm up your appearance by strengthening targeted muscles. We’re thrilled to be able to offer both CoolTone and CoolSculpting because these treatments work perfectly together to help you achieve your body contouring goals without downtime.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of advanced body contouring at Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine.
1. Debulking
Your first step is reducing unwanted fat bulges. CoolSculpting uses a scientific process called cryolipolysis to freeze away targeted fat cells anywhere on your body. Results are gradual, since your frozen fat cells are purged from your body through your urine in the months following your treatment. Keep in mind that it typically takes more than one treatment to achieve your goal, so we will help you design a plan of action during your personal consultation. Your results depend on the amount of fat you have, the location of your fat pockets, and your desired results, which makes CoolSculpting a personally-tailored treatment! But don’t worry, we’ll help you get where you want to go!
2. Fine Tuning (We mean toning!)
Once you’ve “debulked” your problem spots, it’s time to firm up and rejuvenate your appearance in those areas. This is where CoolTone comes in! CoolTone uses non-invasive Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) technology to trigger thousands of involuntary muscle contractions in your target areas. These muscle contractions prompt your muscles to strengthen and firm up, resulting in a more toned and defined abdomen, buttocks or thighs.
3. Healthy mindset
Non-invasive fat reduction and muscle toning with CoolTone and CoolSculpting are not intended to be a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, but rather complementary body contouring tools that work with your healthy habits. To maintain your results, you’ll need to help your body along by maintaining a stable weight. All the body contouring treatments in the world will do little to help the person who gains significant weight after their treatment. Weight fluctuations can alter your results by enlarging any remaining fat cells in your treatment zones. Keep in mind that the benefit of non-invasive body contouring is to give you the extra help you need to make noticeable improvements without having to toil away hours at the gym. You’ll still need to exercise and eat right, but with our tools, you’ll have the extra help where you need it most, which is priceless!
