How to Maximize CoolTone Results
CoolTone is a powerful catalyst for your fitness goals. The technology does the heavy lifting by stimulating deep muscle contractions, to build, tone, and strengthen your muscles without you having to lift a single pound or hold a single plank.
But once you get noticeable results, you’ll want to keep them. By following a few key strategies, you can maintain and even improve on the effects of your treatments for a stronger, more toned body for the long term.
How CoolTone Works
CoolTone is an innovative new cosmetic treatment that utilizes Magnetic Muscle Stimulation technology to deliver powerful electromagnetic pulses deep into the muscle tissue. This energy induces involuntary (read: effortless!) muscle contractions at a rate and intensity that simply cannot be achieved through traditional exercise.
A single 30-minute session can trigger thousands of these contractions. Basically, consolidating the equivalent of months of heavy lifting into one quick and easy office visit. These intense contractions cause the muscle fibers to adapt and grow. The result is improved muscle mass, enhanced definition, and a firmer, toned look in the treated area.
While your treatment sessions themselves are effortless (you can relax and lay back while the CoolTone machine does the work), the treatment creates a strong foundation, and your lifestyle choices build upon it.
Supporting Muscle Recovery and Growth
What you do after your CoolTone session can improve upon your results. The treatment triggers the muscle-building process, and your post-treatment care will help your body recover and build stronger muscle fibers.
Hydration
Just like you want to drink plenty of water while you work out, you’ll want to hydrate before and after your CoolTone treatment. Proper hydration is important for optimal muscle function, recovery, and growth. Aim 8-10 cups of water per day, especially in the 24 to 48 hours leading up to your appointment and the days after.
Prioritize Protein Intake
Protien is the primary building block of muscle fibers. Whether working your muscles in the gym or with CoolTone you want to provide your body with the right materials to allow for maximum muscle building.
Make sure to prioritize protein in your diet after your treatment. Aim for one gram of protein per day for each pound of lean body mass. For example, if you are 150 pounds and 20% bodyfat, that means you have 96 pounds of lean body mass and should aim to consume approximately 96 grams of protein per day. If you don’t know your body fat percentage, aim for .8 grams per pound of total body weight.
However, don’t get too hung up on the exact number here. This is simply a goal to give you an idea of your body’s optimal intake. But do be mindful to include protein-rich foods in your diet, including:
- Lean meats like chicken, turkey, pork, or beef
- Fish and shellfish
- Eggs
- Greek yogurt
- Tofu and lentils
- Protein shakes or bars
Consistently consuming enough protein throughout your treatment series and beyond will provide the fuel your body needs to develop and maintain that toned, sculpted look.
Aim for Active Recovery
Rest and recovery are extremely important for muscle building. In fact, this stage is where the real magic happens, so you want to take your rest and recovery seriously. Avoid strenuous workouts targeting the same muscle group for at least 24 to 48 after your CoolTone session. Instead, engage in light activity like walking or Hatha yoga to increase blood flow and reduce stiffness.
Long-Term Habits for Lasting Results
CoolTone provides a significant boost, but maintaining your new physique requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. The best results are seen in individuals who use CoolTone as a complement to their existing fitness and nutrition habits.
Maintain a Consistent Fitness Routine
CoolTone is not a replacement for exercise, but rather a serious jump-start. To maintain and even improve on your results, continue with a regular exercise routine. Find a fitness plan you love so you know you will be consistent, but make sure to incorporate strength training for muscle maintenance.
Follow a Nutritious Diet
A diet focused on whole foods like lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables will support muscle health and help keep your body fat percentage in a range that allows your toned muscles to stay visible. Limiting processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive alcohol consumption will prevent the accumulation of fat that can obscure your hard-earned definition.
Stick to Your Recommended Treatment Plan
CoolTone is typically performed as a series of sessions scheduled closely together to achieve optimal results. We will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific goals and anatomy. Skipping appointments or spacing them too far apart can diminish the final outcome. Following your plan, plus periodic maintenance treatments can help you preserve your results for the long term.
