At beyond|AESTHETICS, CoolTone® utilizes Active Magnetic Pulse (AMP™) technology to target muscle layers below the subcutaneous fat. By inducing supramaximal contractions that cannot be achieved through voluntary gym workouts, CoolTone® strengthens muscle fibers, enhances athletic definition, and firms target zones. Proper pre-treatment preparation ensures your muscle tissue is hydrated and ready for optimal energy absorption.
Moderate Workouts: Avoid exhausting or heavy resistance strength training on the target muscle group (abs, glutes, or thighs) the day before your appointment. The muscle fibers should be well-rested for optimal supramaximal contractions.
Eat Lightly: Have a light meal or snack 1 to 2 hours prior to your session. Avoid heavy meals immediately before treating the abdominal area to ensure complete comfort during intense muscle contractions.
Remove Personal Metal & Devices: Remove all jewelry, body piercings, belts, watches, and electronic devices before entering the treatment room.
Medical Clearance: CoolTone® uses powerful magnetic fields (MMS) and cannot be performed over or near cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, electronic implanted devices, neurostimulators, drug pumps, or metallic implants/IUDs near the target site.
Skin & Tissue Check: The treatment zone must be completely free of active hernia repairs, open wounds, skin infections, or recent surgical incisions.
Initial Assessment & Marking: Your provider will review your body contouring goals, assess the target muscle group (abdomen, glutes, or thighs), take baseline digital photos, and mark the precise treatment zone while you are seated or standing.
Metal Removal & Positioning: You will be asked to remove all jewelry, belts, clothing with metal hardware, and electronic devices (phones, watches) from your person, as magnetic energy interferes with metal. You will then lie comfortably on the treatment table.
Applicator Placement: Your provider will position the specialized CoolTone® paddle over the target muscle group and secure it firmly with a soft, adjustable elastic strap to ensure direct, even contact throughout the session.
Supramaximal Contractions Begin (30 Minutes): As the treatment starts, you will feel rapid, intense muscle contractions driven by Active Magnetic Pulse (AMP™) technology. The system cycles through different patterns—tapping, continuous holding, and rapid pulsing—to work the muscle fibers completely without allowing them to fatigue prematurely.
Intensity Adjustments: The sensation is intense but non-painful (similar to an extreme, involuntary gym workout). Your provider will gradually increase the energy intensity to your maximum comfortable tolerance level to ensure optimal muscle stimulation.
Session Completion & Immediate Return to Routine: Once the 30-minute cycle finishes, the applicator is removed. Your muscles may feel warm, slightly flushed, or naturally fatigued (like after a heavy lifting set). Because CoolTone® is completely non-invasive with zero downtime, you can immediately put on your clothes and return to work, daily errands, or light activity right away.
Priming the skin matrix and underlying muscle tissue prior to magnetic stimulation ensures deep energy absorption and prevents post-session fatigue.
Why use pre-treatment: Formulated with TriHex Technology®, applying this prior to your series strengthens dermal elasticity, supporting the skin structure as muscle fibers expand and tone underneath.

Our priority is surpassing your expectations.
While CoolSculpting® uses cryolipolysis (freezing) to target and eliminate unwanted fat cells, CoolTone® uses Active Magnetic Pulse (AMP™) technology to target the underlying muscle layers. The magnetic energy induces supramaximal muscle contractions—far beyond what you can achieve through voluntary gym exercises—which strengthens, tones, and firms muscle fibers in the abdomen, glutes, and thighs. They are frequently paired together for complete body sculpting (fat reduction + muscle definition).
For optimal muscle thickening and visible definition, a standard initial series consists of 4 to 6 sessions completed over a 2-to-3-week period (typically 2 treatments per week). Most patients begin feeling increased core stability and muscle tightness within 1 to 2 weeks, with peak visible muscle definition appearing 2 to 4 weeks after completing the full treatment series.
There is zero downtime. You can return to work, daily errands, and regular activities immediately following your 30-minute session. You may experience mild to moderate muscle soreness (similar to an intense workout) for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Because muscle tissue naturally adapts over time, maintaining your results requires a combination of regular exercise, a balanced diet, and periodic single CoolTone® maintenance sessions every 1 to 3 months.
