Utilizing CoolSculpting for love handles is the gold standard for permanently eliminating stubborn flank fat without the need for invasive surgery or downtime. This FDA-cleared treatment uses cryolipolysis to target and freeze fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body, significantly enhancing your structural integrity and waistline definition. At Sculptology, recognized as the #1 CoolSculpting provider in California, we specialize in these high-impact transformations at our San Ramon and Lafayette studios. Our Bioaesthetic philosophy ensures that your results are symmetrical and perfectly contoured to your natural frame across the Bay Area.

“Love handles.” No matter how the term originated, no one loves them! At Sculptology, we proudly reign as the number one CoolSculpting Elite provider in California because we have performed more advanced body sculpting treatments on men and women than any other provider. One of the most common areas our clients complain about is their love handles or flanks. Even with diet and exercise, like so many areas of the body, the sides can be frustrating, and seemingly impossible to target. Well, here’s some good news. There are noninvasive options to reduce those unwanted fat bulges, and there’s no better technology available than CoolSculpting Elite!

What is CoolSculpting Elite? 

CoolSculpting Elite is the latest, most updated version of CoolSculpting, a technology first developed by Harvard doctors and scientists well over a decade ago. The researchers were fascinated by a long-known phenomenon about freezing temperatures reducing fat, such as kids forming dimples in their cheeks from eating popsicles regularly. 

The technical name is Cryolipolysis, which we know is a mouthful, but it’s just a science way of saying “fat freezing!” Cryo = icy cold, and lipolysis = chemical decomposition of fat.  The team’s research further confirmed what they already knew: fat cells don’t like the cold and therefore crystallize and “die” when subjected to freezing temperatures with the controlled application, leaving other cells healthy and undamaged.  The body then gets rid of those “dead” fat cells naturally over a few weeks. And once they’re gone -they’re gone for good! The flushed fat cells won’t ever come back, but it should be noted that the remaining fat cells can expand if you gain weight. 

CoolSculpting Elite is the most popular non-invasive, non-surgical fat reduction or body contouring method available, as millions of treatments have been performed worldwide, effectively removing stubborn fat and giving both men and women lasting results they can’t get elsewhere!
