Achieving abs can be an unwelcome challenge. If diet and exercise haven’t been enough to budge the needle, don’t worry, there are in-office low-downtime treatments that can help get your tummy toned fast. We asked experts what their favorite in-office options for achieving abs easily.
CoolSculpting + CoolTone
“A great option for in-office treatments with no downtime is the combination of CoolSculpt with CoolTone, says Reno, NV plastic surgeon Tiffany D. McCormack, MD. She says results can be seen in as soon as six to eight weeks.
“To produce powerful aesthetic outcomes on the abdomen, my secret recipe for abs is a combination of CoolSculpting Elite and CoolTone,” says Arlington, VA dermatologist Terrence Keaney, MD. “CoolSculpting Elite is the gold standard in noninvasive fat reduction which uses cryolipolysis, or cold temperature to permanently destroy diet- and exercise-resistant fat cells,” he explains. “CoolTone uses magnetic muscle stimulation to tone, firm, and strengthen the abdomen, buttocks and thighs.”
By reducing the fatty layer with CoolSculpting Elite first, more muscle definition will appear, allowing for a more efficacious treatment with CoolTone. Dr. Keaney says he’s then able to use CoolTone to build muscle and tighten the abdominal wall.
EmSculpt Neo + lipo sculpting
New York plastic surgeon Jordan Terner, MD tailors each treatment to the patient. Somach tightening and ab-inducing treatments often include lipo sculpting and EmSculpt Neo in his practice.
