What Is CoolTone®?
CoolTone® is a revolutionary, nonsurgical body contouring treatment that uses Active Magnetic Pulse™ (AMP™) technology to tone the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs by prompting involuntary muscle contractions. Electromagnetic energy is directed into the targeted muscle through a process called magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS). During this process, high-powered magnetic waves skip your skin and subcutaneous fat and reach your muscles.
This energy causes a quick series of muscle contractions that strengthen and build muscle fibers. The results you can get from the muscle contractions caused by this high-tech treatment go beyond what you can achieve during a workout. One session of this treatment is the equivalent of spending hours in the gym focusing on an isolated muscle group, and approximately 25,000 muscle contractions happen during the average session.
CoolTone®’s AMP™ technology allows for more intense and efficient muscle strengthening than traditional exercises. Because it is completely noninvasive, it delivers powerful results without the downtime, discomfort, or risks associated with surgical procedures. It’s an ideal option for individuals who want to improve their muscle tone and achieve a more sculpted look when diet and exercise aren’t enough.

CoolTone® vs. Other Body Toning Treatments
When it comes to noninvasive body sculpting, not all technologies are created equal. CoolTone® stands apart from other muscle-toning treatments by delivering deeper, more intense muscle activation using AMP™ (Active Magnetic Pulse) technology. Here’s how CoolTone® compares to some of the most common options:
CoolTone® vs. Emsculpt®
Both CoolTone® and EMSculpt® use electromagnetic stimulation to induce powerful muscle contractions. EMSculpt® uses HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology to trigger around 20,000 contractions per session. CoolTone®, however, uses AMP™, which penetrates even deeper into the muscle tissue and creates approximately 25,000 contractions per session.
CoolTone® vs. truSculpt® flex
truSculpt® flex uses multi-directional electrical stimulation to activate muscles. While it produces a high number of contractions, they’re typically lower in intensity compared to those from CoolTone®. CoolTone® offers stronger, more focused contractions in a shorter 30-minute session, making it a more efficient solution for those seeking both strength and definition without the bulk of longer treatments.
CoolTone® vs. Traditional Exercise
While nothing can replace the overall health benefits of regular exercise, even the most intense workouts can’t consistently target every deep muscle fiber, especially in stubborn areas like the abdomen or thighs. CoolTone® enhances the muscles you already have by going beyond what you can achieve with voluntary effort. In just one session, CoolTone® simulates the effect of hours spent on a focused muscle group, delivering accelerated results without joint strain or risk of injury.
What to Expect for CoolTone® Treatments
During Your Treatment
CoolTone® treatments are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle with minimal disruption. When you arrive for your session, you’ll be comfortably positioned in a treatment area. At the same time, the CoolTone® device is placed over your targeted muscles.
During the session, you’ll feel a series of rapid muscle contractions triggered by AMP™ technology. These contractions are much stronger and more frequent than what you could achieve through voluntary exercise. Most patients describe the sensation as unusual but completely tolerable. After a few minutes, your body adjusts, and the session becomes even more comfortable. Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and your customized plan.
After Your Treatment
Because CoolTone® is noninvasive, there’s no downtime — you can immediately return to work, errands, or exercise after your appointment. Some patients experience mild muscle soreness following treatment, similar to the feeling after an intense workout, but it typically resolves within a day or two.
As you complete your sessions, you’ll start to notice enhanced muscle tone, improved core strength, and a more sculpted, athletic look in the treated areas.
CoolTone® Maintenance & Long-Term Results
CoolTone® delivers impressive muscle toning results, but just like gains from the gym, maintaining those results requires ongoing care. To preserve your sculpted look, we recommend maintenance sessions every three to four months, depending on your goals and lifestyle.
In addition to follow-up treatments, incorporating regular strength training or targeted fitness routines will help reinforce and extend your results. CoolTone® is designed to complement your active lifestyle, not replace it.
We offer customized maintenance plans tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking to maintain definition or gradually build your tone over time, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Your First CoolTone® Visit: What to Bring & How to Prepare
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You’ll want to feel relaxed and unrestricted during the session.
- Eat a light meal beforehand. Avoid arriving on an empty stomach.
- Skip lotions or creams on the area being treated to ensure proper device contact.
- Stay hydrated. Drinking water before and after helps with muscle recovery and overall comfort.
Our team will guide you through everything once you arrive, so just come ready to feel stronger.
The Perfect Pair: CoolTone® and CoolSculpting® Elite
If you’re looking to eliminate fat and build muscle tone, you’ll want to combine these two treatments to tackle your trouble zones. CoolSculpting® Elite uses cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells in a targeted area, which your body will then eliminate. It’s FDA-cleared for use in nine different areas and can be done in conjunction with CoolTone® treatments to get rid of fat before you focus on toning.
CoolSculpting® Elite is a noninvasive, painless, safe way to eliminate pesky fat deposits and contour your body. After you have reduced body fat in a problem area, your toning efforts will be more effective. At Fundamentals Med Spa, we offer both services so patients can fully address trouble zones that cannot be treated through diet and exercise alone.
Ideal Candidates for CoolTone®
CoolTone® is ideal for individuals who are close to their fitness goals but want to take their results to the next level. It is designed for people who maintain an active lifestyle and healthy habits but still struggle with certain areas that are hard to tone through exercise alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a CoolTone® Session Take?
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Are the Treatments Painful?
Even though these treatments put the targeted muscle groups through thousands of contractions during your session, the experience is much more comfortable than a strenuous workout. Any discomfort during the session is typically minimal.
For the first few minutes of the session, you may feel warmth in the treated muscle group and be aware of muscle contractions. As your body adjusts to the sensation, you will likely not notice the contractions. Finally, this treatment is virtually painless compared to the discomfort of body sculpting and contouring surgeries.
Will the Treatments Strengthen My Muscles For Daily Activities?
How Long Will the Results Last?
Just like the muscles you build in the gym need to be preserved through exercise, the muscles produced by this treatment also need to be maintained. A targeted workout routine can help you keep your treatment results, as will a maintenance session every three to four months.
Does This Treatment Replace Exercise?
Although this treatment will strengthen the targeted muscles, it isn’t a substitute for exercise. A consistent workout routine provides numerous benefits, such as improving cardiovascular, respiratory, and mental health.
Choosing to stop exercising would rob your body of these benefits, and this treatment is designed to work as a supplement to an exercise routine, not to replace it. However, you might be pleasantly surprised to discover that your stamina and performance during exercise have improved from the treatment.
What Should I Expect After My Treatment?
Following your treatment, you will able to go about your day as usual, without recovery or downtime. Some patients may experience muscle soreness in the targeted muscle groups after treatment. Most patients find this soreness comparable with completing a workout focused on the treated muscle group.
When Will I See the Results From My Treatment?
Most patients will begin to see improvements in their muscle tone within two to four weeks. Every individual’s body is unique, and some patients notice a difference in their musculature and shape much sooner. Your muscle tone level at the beginning of the treatment can impact how quickly your results become noticeable.
How Come This Treatment Works When Exercise Doesn't?
Certain muscle fibers and minor muscle groups are nearly impossible to target with standard exercises. This treatment can focus on those specific locations and create muscle contractions that are more intense than you could achieve with physical activity.
Also, because this treatment can cause your muscles to contract at such a quick rate, you can tone a muscle more effectively in a short amount of time. While you may not have hours to spend doing ab exercises, you can probably spare 30 minutes, and that’s all you need to tone yourself with this treatment.
