Are there opinions out there regarding Emsculpt vs CoolTone? Looking for fat reduction on abs, love handles and butt.

Question

I realize CoolTone is a newer modality. Any opinions? I’m looking for some slight/moderate fat reduction and a lot of toning on the abs, love handles and butt.

Andrew Campbell, MD · Answer

We actually have both EMSculpt and CoolTone machines and they both work great. For fat removal, you will want to combine coolsculpting or liposuction with the muscle building/toning treatments. The combination works wonders.

Thank you for your question. Emsculpt is actually newer technology than CoolTone which is a renamed technology from overseas. I believe the Emsculpt is a more effective treatment. I would encourage you to go in and ask for a brief treatment of each to see which you feel has more effect. It is important to see which you feel induces more contraction of your muscles as Emsculpt has a deeper penetration than Cooltone. Most Emsculpt providers will give you a 5-10 minute treatment if you request. I cannot say that is true for Cooltone as they are charged for a cycle with every use.

I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

These are pretty weak measures compared to Liposuction which is the gold standard and what I would recommend. The only caveat is that Liposuction has to be done by an experienced provider who knows what they’re doing.

If I could get a dollar for every patient ever met who was disappointed or saw zero results from the cool sculpting I’d be a wealthy man.

Best,
