For years, the aesthetic industry focused exclusively on fat reduction, ignoring an important component of body sculpting – muscle.
Recognizing this deficit, BTL Aesthetics and Allergan each developed non-invasive muscle toning treatments – Emsculpt and CoolTone.
Now that women and men have two ways to tone and tighten their bodies, many are wondering which option is right for them – Emsculpt or CoolTone?
Continue reading to discover which treatment is best-suited to your individual needs and goals.
What Is Emsculpt?
Emsculpt is a cutting-edge body contouring technology that increases muscle tone and eliminates fat in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. It is completely noninvasive and uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to induce a series of 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions.
Due to the strength of these contractions, muscle fibers remodel and become thicker and firmer. At the same time, Emsculpt increases fat metabolism to reduce stubborn bulges.
What Is CoolTone?
CoolTone is a non-surgical treatment that applies Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to strengthen, firm, and tone the abs, glutes, and quads.
While it is the counterpart to CoolSculpting, CoolTone is not designed to achieve fat reduction in the treatment area.
Emsculpt or CoolTone?
While both technologies produce impressive muscle toning, many patients want to know which treatment is right for them – Emsculpt or CoolTone?
Emsculpt was the first noninvasive body contouring treatment to build muscle and burn fat. In seven independent clinical studies, with over 200 patients, Emsculpt achieved impressive and consistent results, including:
- An average 19% fat reduction
- An average 16% increase in muscle mass
- An average 11% reduction in diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles)
- 96% patient satisfaction score
CoolTone was released after Emsculpt and just received FDA-approval in June 2019. As such, it does not yet have the same proven track record as Emsculpt.
For these reasons, when considering – Emsculpt or CoolTone? – patients often opt for the more established Emsculpt, which builds muscle and burns fat.
