The Secret to Toning Muscles Without Working Out

Exercise is good for your body and health. But not everyone enjoys spending hours at the gym, or they struggle to get the results they expect.

So, what’s the secret to more toned muscles without working out? 

At Associated Skin Care Specialists, our cosmetic dermatology specialists use CoolTone® to help our patients get closer to their body goals without having to work out harder or longer.

In this month’s blog, we want to tell you about CoolTone and how it can help strengthen, tone, and firm the muscles in your abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.

More toned muscles without working out

Nothing can replace a balanced diet and exercise program for better health and fitness. But CoolTone can help you reach your goals faster. 

The FDA-cleared device uses magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) to strengthen and tone muscles. MMS is a technology that works out your muscles without free weights or body resistance exercises. 

The technology uses magnetic energy to contract your muscles thousands of times during a 30-minute session. CoolTone works out your muscles in a manner you can’t replicate at the gym. One abdominal session with CoolTone is equivalent to tens of thousands of crunches.

Am I a candidate for CoolTone?

Are you hitting the gym and not getting results? Do you want to firm up your abs and tighten your buttocks without having to do more sit-ups and squats? Then CoolTone may work for you. 

While CoolTone can improve body shape, it’s not a weight-loss procedure. Our ideal CoolTone candidate is at or close to their goal weight, works out regularly, and eats a balanced diet. 

If you’re struggling to reach your body goals with diet and exercise, schedule a consultation with our cosmetic specialists. They can talk to you about CoolTone, how it works, and how it might help you.

We also offer CoolSculpting®, a noninvasive body contouring tool that gets rid of unwanted pockets of fat from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and under the chin. 

What to expect

Our aesthetic experts at Associated Skin Care Specialists customize treatment plans based on individual goals. Treatments take about 30 minutes and most people need 4 to 8 sessions over a 2- to 4-week period to get the best results.

Cooltone is noninvasive and causes little to no discomfort. You may feel a tingling and twitching sensation during your session, but no pain. 

Because CoolTone works out the muscles, you can expect some muscle soreness following your treatment. 

Though results vary, you may see improvements in muscle tone after four sessions. In addition to improved muscle tone, you may also experience an increase in strength and endurance, making it easier for you to work out harder and longer. 

We provide CoolTone treatments at our Eden Prairie and Maple Grove, Minnesota, offices.  Call the location nearest you today to schedule your complimentary CoolTone consultation with our experts.
