The CoolTone device from Allergan received Food and Drug Administration approval for use in improving abdominal tone and strength. CoolTone is already approved for strengthening, toning and firming of the buttocks and thighs.
“As the global leader in medical aesthetics and body contouring, Allergan invests in the ongoing innovation and advancement of safe and effective non-surgical aesthetic solutions,” said Brad Hauser, vice president for R&D at Allergan. “We do this by developing differentiated technology, such as the CoolTone device, that helps meet the needs of our customers.”
CoolTone technology uses magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) to penetrate layers of muscle and cause involuntary muscle contractions. In turn, the body strengthens muscle fibers and improves muscle conditioning.
“By partnering with Allergan, I can offer my patients additional options in body contouring solutions,” said Grant Stevens, founder and medical director of Marina Plastic Surgery. “CoolSculpting, for non-surgical fat reduction, is one of the most requested treatments in my practice, and now I can introduce my patients to CoolTone for muscle toning, strengthening and firming of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs.”
