Making the small changes you want in your body doesn’t have to involve anything too invasive or disruptive to your daily life. If you’re looking to slim down specific areas, non-surgical options can target stubborn fat without downtime. Body contouring with CoolSculpting® offers an effective, non-intrusive way to address those areas that haven’t responded to weight loss efforts.
At Balle Bliss Luxury Medical Spa in Cypress, TX, we provide CoolSculpting treatments to reduce fat in specific body areas. This treatment can be done in a fast office appointment with very little discomfort or downtime. We are here to help you find out if it’s the right body contouring treatment for you.
Realistic Goals for Non-Invasive Body Sculpting
Achieving your “dream body” starts with understanding that everyone’s body is unique and results can vary based on your specific shape and goals. It’s important to set realistic expectations about what non-invasive body sculpting can do for you. While this treatment can target stubborn fat and help contour certain areas, it can’t change your body type. Some body shapes simply aren’t achievable for everyone, and part of the process is determining what results are possible for you based on your frame. For some patients, it may be necessary to lose weight before non-invasive body sculpting becomes a good option. We’ll work with you to help determine the right approach and ensure you’re set up for the best possible outcome.
Can Body Contouring Help You Lose Weight?
Body contouring isn’t meant to help you lose weight, but it can be a good option for refining areas of fat that won’t go away. At our body contouring med spa, we focus on slimming specific areas rather than weight reduction. While the amount of fat removed is small, it can make a noticeable difference in how your body looks. It’s important to remember that the scale might not change much, but the contour of your body can with CoolSculpting.

What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to reduce fat in specific areas through a process called cryolipolysis. This method freezes fat cells without harming the surrounding skin or tissue. Once the fat cells are frozen, they break down and are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes over the next several weeks. Since fat cells don’t regenerate, the targeted fat loss is permanent in the treated areas, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent new fat from developing. CoolSculpting is especially effective for areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs where stubborn fat tends to accumulate and resist any attempts to reduce it naturally.
What Areas Can We Treat With CoolSculping?
CoolSculpting is ideal for treating areas of “pinchable” fat—those pockets of fat that can be grabbed between your fingers. Here are the key areas we can target with CoolSculpting:
- Stubborn Belly Fat: Excess fat in the abdomen often makes clothes fit tighter and creates a rounded look. Reducing fat here can create a flatter, more toned appearance.
- Flanks or “Love Handles”: Fat that accumulates around the waist can give the midsection a wider look. CoolSculpting targets this fat, helping to define the waistline for better proportions. This is one of the most effective body-shaping procedures for slimming down this area.
- Thigh Fat Reduction: Both inner and outer thigh fat can create a bulkier look to the legs. Slimming these areas can give the legs a more toned appearance. CoolSculpting allows for non-surgical body contouring of these hard-to-target areas.
- Upper Arms: Fat in the upper arms, sometimes called “bat wings,” can lead to a lack of definition. Treating this area with CoolSculpting can help create a firmer, more sculpted look.
- Double Chin Treatment: Extra fat under the chin often leads to a less defined jawline and can make the face appear heavier. Our body contouring med spa provides effective CoolSculpting options to treat this area.
- Bra Fat and Back Fat: Pockets of fat around the bra line or on the upper back can create bulges under clothing. A fat reduction treatment in these areas smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of unwanted lumps.
Step By Step Through Body Contouring With CoolSculpting
Consultation
First, we’ll have a detailed conversation about your goals and examine the areas you want to target. During this consultation, we’ll assess whether CoolSculpting is right for you and create a customized treatment plan based on your specific body shape and the areas with pinchable fat.
Treatment Preparation
On the day of your sculpted body treatment, we’ll guide you into a comfortable position. A gel pad is applied to protect your skin before the CoolSculpting applicator is placed on the treatment area. The applicator then uses vacuum suction to draw the targeted fat area into the cooling panels.
Fat Freezing
Once the device is in place, the controlled cooling begins. You’ll feel an intense cold for the first few minutes, but this sensation usually subsides as the area becomes numb. The fat cells are gradually frozen without damaging the skin. This step lasts about 35 to 60 minutes per area, depending on the size and location.
Massage
After the cooling process is complete, we remove the applicator and gently massage the treated area. This helps break up the frozen fat cells and jumpstarts the body’s process of flushing them out. You may experience some tingling or slight discomfort during this part, but it’s an important step for enhancing your results.
Post-Treatment and Results
There’s no downtime with CoolSculpting, so you can return to your normal activities right after the treatment. Over the next several weeks, your body will naturally eliminate the frozen fat cells. While you won’t see immediate results, the treated areas will gradually appear slimmer as the fat is broken down and processed by your body.
