At Advanced Dermatology, we frequently receive questions around improving this area from both men and women. We offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advdermatology.com\/cosmetic-procedures\/fat-reduction-body-shaping-cellulite\/coolsculpting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 for flanks and love handles as a treatment option, which is a noninvasive technique that can substantially reduce local fat deposits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of CoolSculpting\u00ae<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for Flanks (Love Handles)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While diet and exercise can only reduce an all-over fat layer, CoolSculpting\u00ae is a treatment that allows you to reduce specific areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoolSculpting\u00ae is a safe and effective option for reducing love handles without surgery or downtime. You can see a noticeable reduction in these bulges within 2-3 months of a treatment session. If needed, you can achieve further results with subsequent treatment sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How CoolSculpting\u00ae Works for Flanks (Love Handles)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoolSculpting\u00ae is based on a discovery by Harvard scientists who found that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding skin. This FDA-cleared treatment uses controlled cooling\u2014known as cryolipolysis\u2014to target and freeze fat cells while a vacuum applicator gently holds the area. During each session, roughly 20% of the treated fat cells are crystallized and naturally eliminated by the body over time, without harming the skin or surrounding area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Choose Advanced Dermatology for CoolSculpting<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ae<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced Dermatology has been at the forefront of CoolSculpting\u00ae treatments since its U.S. debut in 2010.
