What is Magnetic Muscle Stimulation and How Does It Work?

MMS is an excellent body contouring solution for both men and women looking to enhance their fitness journey. Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) uses electromagnetic energy to create powerful muscle contractions, often called “supermaximal contractions”. These contractions are stronger than those achieved during a workout, engaging more muscle fibers for enhanced tone and strength. MMS is gaining popularity in aesthetics for defining muscles in areas like the abdomen, glutes, and thighs, and in therapy for improving mobility and recovery after injuries.

CoolTone stands out by delivering targeted, effective results tailored to individual needs. It’s particularly effective for those who are active, fit, and healthy. Many men choose this treatment to enhance their strength, amplify their workouts, and double down on results from their hard work in the gym. Additionally, women love the increased core strength and control they feel from this treatment, especially postpartum moms.

How  Magnetic Muscle Stimulation Works

MMS works by sending electromagnetic pulses through the skin and fat layers to stimulate muscle fibers. These pulses create supramaximal contractions, which activate more muscle fibers than voluntary movements. Over time, these treatments build strength, tone, and definition.

CoolTone’s advanced technology ensures precise, customized results for individuals seeking effective body contouring and muscle toning in Dallas.

The Science Behind MMS

Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) is powered by advanced electromagnetic technology that aligns with your body’s physiology. CoolTone has earned FDA clearance for its safety and efficacy in muscle toning. Here’s how it works:

How It Stimulates Muscles

  • Targeted Technology: CoolTone’s Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) bypasses fat and skin layers to focus directly on the muscle layer, which conducts energy effectively.
  • Induces Contractions: MMS triggers involuntary muscle contractions that are stronger than those achieved during regular workouts, called “supramaximal contractions”.
  • Muscle Response: The body strengthens muscle fibers in response to these intense contractions, improving muscle conditioning.
  • Visible Results: After treatments, the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs become firmer, more defined, and noticeably toned.

What is a Supramaximal Contraction?

These are muscle contractions so intense that your body can’t achieve them naturally, even during the most strenuous workouts.

Why Supramaximal Contractions Matter

These contractions:

  • Activate more muscle fibers for faster results.
  • Stimulate muscle growth (hypertrophy).
  • Boost metabolic activity to complement fat reduction efforts.

The Role of Recovery and Adaptation

After an MMS session, your muscles:

  • Recover and strengthen, similar to a high-intensity workout.
  • Remodel, building new fibers and enhancing endurance.

Scientific Backing

FDA-cleared and supported by clinical studies, MMS technology is proven to improve muscle strength and tone. Combining MMS with treatments like CoolSculpting Elite amplifies results for a complete transformation.

At Element Body Lab, we ensure safety and effectiveness with every session. Visit our CoolTone page to learn more.


Is Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation Safe?

Yes, MMS is safe and FDA-cleared when performed by trained professionals. CoolTone has a proven track record of safety and satisfaction among clients when performed by trained professionals. Side effects, such as mild soreness, are temporary and similar to post-workout discomfort.

However, MMS isn’t suitable for everyone. People with pacemakers, metal implants, or specific medical conditions should consult a professional first.

How Long Do MMS Results Last?

Of course, the longevity of MMS results depends on individual factors like your lifestyle, activity level, and the number of treatments completed. While most clients enjoy visible improvements for 3-6 months following their initial treatment series, to maintain results, periodic maintenance sessions are recommended every 2-3 months.

Factors that influence how long results last include:

  • Consistency in Maintenance Treatments: Keeping up with regular sessions ensures sustained muscle tone.
  • Lifestyle Habits: A balanced diet and consistent exercise amplify the longevity of your results.
  • Muscle Group Treated: Larger muscle groups like the glutes may hold results longer than smaller areas.

At Element Body Lab, we customize maintenance plans to fit your goals and schedule. Learn more about CoolTone here.


How to Sustain MMS Results

To extend your MMS results, adopt a proactive approach:

  1. Follow a Maintenance Schedule Regular touch-up sessions every few months help sustain muscle strength and tone. Your provider will guide you on the ideal frequency based on your progress.
  2. Stay Active Incorporate resistance training, yoga, or pilates into your routine to complement the results of MMS. Active muscles maintain tone better.
  3. Focus on Nutrition A protein-rich diet supports muscle growth and recovery. Avoid excessive processed foods, which can counteract your results.
  4. Hydrate and Rest Proper hydration and sufficient rest promote muscle recovery and overall health, enhancing your results.

At Element Body Lab, we support you with personalized post-treatment tips to ensure you get the most out of your MMS sessions.


CoolTone vs. Emsculpt NEO

While both CoolTone and Emsculpt NEO use external muscle stimulation to contract muscles, the technologies differ in key ways. Unlike muscle contractions during a workout, which start with a signal from the brain, EMS and MMS technologies bypass the brain entirely, directly stimulating the muscles. Let’s dive deeper into the comparison between CoolTone and Emsculpt NEO to understand their differences.

Allergan’s CoolTone Treatment

CoolTone utilizes Magnetic Muscle Stimulation (MMS) to exclusively target muscles, creating supramaximal contractions that enhance muscle tone and strength. This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to focus on shaping areas like the abdomen, glutes, and thighs.

BTL’s Emsculpt Neo Treatment

Emsculpt NEO combines MMS with radiofrequency (RF) technology to simultaneously target muscle building and fat reduction. While this dual-action approach may seem advantageous, the addition of RF can sacrifice the precision of targeted muscle toning.

Why CoolTone is the Better Option

  • Customizable Treatment Plans: Pair CoolTone with CoolSculpting Elite for tailored fat reduction and muscle toning.
  • Focused Outcomes: CoolTone specializes exclusively in muscle toning, ensuring more impactful results.
  • Permanent Fat Reduction: CoolSculpting permanently removes fat, complementing CoolTone’s muscle-building benefits.
  • Precision and Adaptability: CoolTone provides hyper-targeted treatments for specific areas, unlike the broader approach of Emsculpt NEO.

Ultimately, CoolTone offers more precision, flexibility, and long-term results when paired with CoolSculpting Elite. Discover why CoolTone is the better choice.


CoolTone vs. TENS Units

While CoolTone is designed for muscle toning and body contouring, TENS units are primarily used for pain management and muscle recovery. The mechanisms and intensity of these treatments differ significantly, with CoolTone providing high-intensity supramaximal muscle contractions, while TENS units deliver low-intensity electrical pulses for therapeutic purposes. Let’s explore how these two technologies compare.

Muscle Toning: CoolTone

CoolTone is an aesthetic treatment designed to build muscle tone and strength through Magnetic Muscle Stimulation. It provides supramaximal contractions that are far more intense than voluntary exercise, making it ideal for body contouring and muscle enhancement.

Pain Relief: TENS Unit

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) units are therapeutic devices used for pain relief and muscle recovery. They deliver low-intensity electrical pulses to nerves, primarily targeting pain management rather than muscle toning or growth.

Key Differences

  • Purpose: CoolTone enhances muscle tone and definition, while TENS units relieve pain and aid recovery.
  • Intensity: CoolTone uses high-intensity electromagnetic pulses to activate deep muscle fibers. TENS units use low-intensity electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes.
  • Target Audience: CoolTone is ideal for aesthetic and performance goals, while TENS units cater to individuals seeking pain relief.
