CoolSculpting For Love Handles: Eliminate Flank Fullness Without Surgery
A CoolSculpting treatment administered on the love handles is an excellent way to reduce stubborn fat in the flanks without invasive surgery like liposuction. Learn more about the non-surgical procedure and discover if fat freezing your flanks is the right cosmetic treatment for your body.
What are Love Handles?
Love handles tend to persist due to a combination of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, aging, and lifestyle habits. Women, in particular, may notice increased fat storage in this area during pregnancy, menopause, or other hormonal shifts. As metabolism slows with age, the body’s fat distribution changes, often leading to more accumulation around the abdomen. Additionally, factors such as a high-calorie diet, lack of exercise, and stress can further contribute to stubborn fat in this region.
While love handles are often seen as a cosmetic concern, they can also pose health risks, as excess abdominal fat is linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. However, reducing fat in specific areas through diet and exercise alone is difficult, as spot reduction is not effective.
This is why many people turn to non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting Elite, which precisely targets and eliminates stubborn fat cells without the need for surgery or downtime.
Why is CoolSculpting a Good Option for Love Handle Fat?
CoolSculpting is a popular cosmetic treatment capable of tackling and reducing submental fullness. Treatments eliminate stubborn fat in problem areas like the flanks or love handles without surgery and minimal to no downtime afterward. This fat reduction method uses a proprietary applicator to expose fat cells to a controlled cooling known as Cryolipolysis. This technology freezes the fat cell, causing its membrane to crystallize and rupture. After this occurs, the cell dies. The dead cells are naturally gathered up and processed out of the body through the lymphatic system. Once the fat cells are gone, they never return. CoolSculpting provides people with a safe, non-surgical way to achieve long-term fat reduction.
How Does CoolSculpting Work on the Love Handles?
If you’re struggling with excess fat on the love handles, i.e. a muffin top, no fear… CoolSculpting is here! CoolSculpting sessions are perfect for reducing fullness in the flanks or love handles. During a CoolSculpting session on the love handles, your CoolSculpting specialist will position the appropriate applicator on the targeted areas. The device will deliver controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells beneath the skin without harming surrounding tissue. You may feel an initial sensation of intense cold, tingling, or mild pressure, but these sensations typically fade within a few minutes as the area becomes numb.
Each session lasts about 35-45 minutes per side, and many patients use the time to read, watch videos, or simply relax. Once the treatment is complete, the provider will gently massage the area to help break up frozen fat cells and enhance the body’s natural elimination process. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately, with results gradually appearing over the following weeks.
The flanks are the second most common treatment area for CoolSculpting clients. Often, these people combine treating the flanks with a CoolSculpting stomach treatment for a total midsection transformation. The love handles are treated with one small applicator on each side or flank. Some CoolSculpting providers only have one machine capable of treating one flank at a time. As a premier CoolSculpting provider, Emerson Medical offers dual sculpting, or the use of two machines at one time.
