Malin Akerman Joins CoolSculpting® and CoolTone™ as U.S. Ambassador for the Allergan Aesthetics Body Contouring Portfolio

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), announced the partnership between actress and producer Malin Akerman and the Allergan Aesthetics body contouring portfolio. Akerman is named the first Allergan Aesthetics body contouring partner in support of both CoolSculpting^®, the #1 nonsurgical fat reduction treatment used most by doctors, and CoolTone™, the latest treatment in the portfolio used to strengthen, tone, and firm the abdomen, buttocks, and thigh muscles.

"CoolSculpting^® was a treatment I had been researching before this opportunity presented itself!" explains Malin Akerman. "I couldn't pass up the opportunity to speak to experts in body contouring. For me, it was important to maintain the figure I have now, while shaping and contouring those trouble areas that have bugged me for quite some time now. Like any working woman, I have a lot to juggle daily. On top of that, I do my best to eat right and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, but even so, I have some stubborn areas of fat just won't budge and muscle groups I would like to tone and strengthen."

Akerman worked with her doctor to devise a treatment plan custom to her unique body contouring goals.  Akerman was treated with CoolSculpting^® to help reduce troublesome fat on her belly and flanks. She was also treated with CoolTone™ to help improve muscle tone and strength in her abdomen.

"People want non-surgical options to reduce fat and tone muscle. In fact, over 4 million people are considering noninvasive body contouring treatments within the next year¹*," says Carrie Strom, Senior Vice President, AbbVie and President, Global Allergan Aesthetics. "We're pleased to have Malin Akerman as the first U.S. ambassador for our body contouring portfolio to provide education and a first-hand look at the results that our proven treatments can provide." 

As the U.S. ambassador, Akerman will be supporting the two new Allergan Aesthetics body contouring campaigns and encouraging consumers to take their body contouring goals further with CoolSculpting^® and/or CoolTone™. Consumers have the opportunity to:

During the procedure you may experience sensations of pulling, tugging, mild pinching, intense cold, tingling, stinging, aching, and cramping at the treatment site. These sensations subside as the area becomes numb. Following the procedure, typical side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blanching, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging, tenderness, cramping, aching, itching, or skin sensitivity, and sensation of fullness in the back of the throat after submental or submandibular area treatment.
