Does CoolTone work for quads/thighs?

Question

I am interested in having cool tone on my quads, I read that the thigh area was FDA approved, but I can't find before and after pictures online. I am average weight, but I do carry most of my weight in my thighs. would there be results?

Thank you for your question! Cooltone is an excellent treatment for increasing muscle tone and definition of the abs, buttock, and thighs/quads. This non-surgical treatment uses Magnetic Muscle Stimulation technology to strengthen, tone, and firm. This treatment can enhance your muscle-building results. It is recommended that you consult your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to find out how to achieve your optimal results.

The FDA has approved CoolTone to treat the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, so it is appropriate for use on the quads. This device uses magnetic muscle stimulation (MMS) to rapidly contract the muscles in the treatment area, which produces results similar to a series of intense workouts in just one 30-minute treatment session. This is a relatively new treatment that is only offered by a few practitioners at a time. It will make the treated area stronger and look toned and healthy. This is a muscle not a fat treatment, so if your legs are large due to a fatty layer, CoolSculpting may be a better option. I recommend finding an experienced, board-certified dermatologist for your treatment to ensure the best possible results.

CoolTone is one of the latest body contouring devices and has been approved by the FDA to treat the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The procedure uses electromagnetic muscle stimulation to simulate a series of intense workouts in a single, 30-minute procedure. The treatment produces better tone and muscle definition, creating a sleeker contour in the treatment area. Our patients have seen excellent results, whether they undergo CoolTone alone or in combination with a fat reducing procedure like CoolSculpting. This is a new procedure, so I recommend looking for a board-certified physician who offers it in your area.

CoolTone is FDA-approved to tone muscles of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, so it can be used on the quads (the front of the thighs).  Results can vary by individual, but in the appropriate patient, there should be visible improvement.

CoolTone does work on your thighs, it would strengthen your quads and add more definition if you get the right amount of sessions.
