It’s not too late to improve your muscle tone, strength and get in shape. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Rapaport gives us the scoop on how to do it.

In a survey conducted in 2018, it was found that only 32% of consumers worldwide are satisfied with their body shape and 53% would consider a noninvasive body contouring treatment. For those who are interested in a noninvasive option to improve muscle strength and tone in their abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, Dr. Rapaport recommends CoolTone by CoolSculpting, an Allergan company.

It’s an FDA-cleared, noninvasive body contouring option that can strengthen and tone their abdomen and glutes,  also great for improving the muscle tone and firmness of buttocks, and thighs.
