Even with a healthy diet and consistent workouts, stubborn belly fat, often referred to as a “belly pooch”, can be incredibly frustrating to reduce. Genetics, hormones, aging, and lifestyle all influence fat storage, especially around the abdomen.
At Advanced Dermatology, we specialize in non-surgical treatments that help flatten and sculpt the lower belly without the need for downtime or invasive procedures.
Whether you’re struggling with a post-pregnancy belly, stress-related weight gain, or age-related fat accumulation, we offer customized solutions that target problem areas and deliver natural-looking results.
What Is the Best Treatment for Belly Fat?
The most effective non-invasive treatment we offer for belly fat reduction is CoolSculpting®. This FDA-cleared body contouring treatment uses a science-backed method known as cryolipolysis to freeze away unwanted fat cells without harming surrounding tissue.
How CoolSculpting® Works
CoolSculpting® delivers precise controlled cooling to the targeted area using a suction applicator. This cooling freezes fat cells beneath the skin, triggering apoptosis (natural cell death). Over the following weeks, your body metabolizes and eliminates these dead fat cells through the lymphatic system, resulting in a slimmer silhouette.
- No needles, surgery, or anesthesia required
- Treatments last 35-60 minutes per session
- Multiple sessions may be recommended based on goals and body composition
- Patients can relax, read, or scroll during the procedure
Benefits of CoolSculpting® for Belly Fat
There are several benefits of CoolSculpting® including little to no downtime. The results are gradual, but natural-looking typically visible within 1-3 months. CoolSculpting® is safe for all skin tones and types.
How CoolSculpting® Compares to Other Options
CoolSculpting® offers several advantages over surgical and at-home alternatives:
- CoolSculpting® vs. Liposuction: Liposuction is invasive and requires anesthesia, incisions, and recovery time. CoolSculpting® provides a gentle, outpatient option with no scarring or downtime.
- CoolSculpting® vs. Creams & Tools: At-home creams, gels, and fat-reducing devices may offer temporary skin tightening, but they don’t permanently destroy fat cells like CoolSculpting® does.
CoolSculpting® vs. Weight Loss: While CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss treatment, it’s ideal for patients at or near their goal weight who want to address localized fat pockets.
Can This Treatment Be Used on Other Areas?
Yes! CoolSculpting® effectively targets several areas of the body where stubborn fat tends to linger:
- Flanks (love handles)
- Upper arms
- Inner and outer thighs
- Under the chin (double chin)
- Bra fat and back fat
