CoolSculpting for Men: Targeted Fat Reduction Made Simple

*UPDATED 10/14/2024

Are you a man on a quest to bid farewell to those stubborn pockets of body fat that resist the charms of diet and exercise? Enter CoolSculpting Elite – a cutting-edge, non-invasive fat reduction treatment meticulously crafted with men in mind. In this blog, we’ll explore CoolSculpting for men, its revolutionary features, and the benefits it brings to specific areas like the abdomen, love handles, and chest.

Understanding CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is more than just a buzzword; it’s a game-changer in non-invasive fat reduction. Developed to address the unique needs of men, this procedure uses advanced technology to freeze stubborn fat cells, eliminating them without surgery or downtime. But how does it work, and is it truly effective?

CoolSculpting vs. CoolSculpting Elite

CoolSculpting is the umbrella term used for various technologies. As of 2024, the latest version is CoolSculpting Elite. The CoolSculpting Elite technology offers some significant upgrades:

  • Larger handpieces: Redesigned to be 18% larger, the wider cooling cup allows for up to 30% more tissue treatment.
  • Dualsculpting: Elite machines can treat two areas at once, reducing treatment time.

At Element Body Lab, we use only the Elite technology for superior results. Men, in particular, benefit from the larger handpieces, which deliver more aggressive results, especially in areas like the abdomen and love handles. Learn more about CoolSculpting for stubborn belly fat.

Can CoolSculpting Get Rid of Stubborn Fat?

Yes, CoolSculpting is highly effective at targeting and reducing stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. The technology works by freezing fat cells beneath the skin, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body. For men, this means a leaner, more sculpted physique in the areas that matter most.

Is CoolSculpting Effective for men?

Since its FDA clearance in 2009, CoolSculpting technology has undergone significant advancements. Achieving optimal results for men requires the right expectations, treatment recommendations, and a qualified provider.

Specializing in CoolSculpting for men, our practice customizes treatment plans based on individual goals and unique anatomy, with six different applicator selections and countless placement positionings. How and where applicators are placed dictates the final outcome seen, which is why a highly trained provider is essential in your CoolSculpting treatment.

Does CoolSculpting Work on Men’s Belly Fat?

Belly fat is one of the most common trouble spots for men. Whether it’s a “beer belly” or simply stubborn fat around the midsection, CoolSculpting can help. The procedure freezes and eliminates fat cells in the abdomen, gradually leading to a slimmer look. Results become visible after a few weeks, with the most dramatic changes occurring after two to three months. Learn more about CoolSculpting for stubborn belly fat.

What is the Most Effective Area for CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is effective on various parts of the body, but the most popular areas for men include:

  • Abdomen (belly fat): A common target for men looking to trim their waistline. Learn more about CoolSculpting for stubborn belly fat.
  • Love handles (flanks): Men often seek treatment here to reduce side bulges.
  • Chin and neck: Ideal for men who want a more defined jawline.
  • Back fat: CoolSculpting is also used to target fat in the upper or lower back.

What are the Best Areas for Fat Freezing?

The top CoolSculpting areas for men include:

  • Chin and jawline: CoolSculpting can help men achieve a chiseled jawline by eliminating fat under the chin.
  • Abdomen: CoolSculpting is a great option for reducing belly fat. Learn more about CoolSculpting for stubborn belly fat.
  • Love handles: Targeting this area helps create a more contoured waistline.
  • Chest: Although not FDA-cleared, some providers offer CoolSculpting for reducing fat in the male chest (gynecomastia). At Element Body Lab, we refer clients to a plastic surgeon for chest fat reduction.

CoolSculpting Men’s Love Handles

One of the most stubborn and commonly treated areas for men is the love handles. Even athletes, nutritionists, and dieticians can struggle with lower abdomen and love handles, especially male clients.

The love handles, a common concern for men, are the #1 area treated at Element Body Lab for men. During the treatment, one or multiple applicators are applied to each love handle, focused on the area with a bulge in a pant line. It’s essential to treat from the small of the waist down to the pantline to not accentuate or create an hourglass for male clients, unless that is the desired outcome they’re looking for. 

As with all of our treatments, CoolSculpting Men’s Love Handles is a customized treatment and the best way to get advice is to schedule a consultation with our team. We offer both in person and virtual consultations so our clients can get the advice they need in the format they prefer.

CoolSculpting Men’s Chest

While CoolSculpting Men’s Chest is not an FDA cleared treatment area as of 2024, consultations at Element Body Lab offer valuable insights. To date, CoolSculpting male chest has never been fully studied or deemed as a safe treatment area, although many providers do offer this as a treatment area. At our practice, referrals to a specialized plastic surgeon in Dallas are provided for chest reduction treatment.

CoolSculpting for Men’s Belly Fat

Does CoolSculpting work for men’s belly fat? Yes! For the right candidate, with the right provider, CoolSculpting works for men’s belly fat. During treatment, your provider may place 1 or multiple (as many as 12) applicators on the abdomen to achieve full coverage and sculpt the desired outcome.. 

Customized treatments with CoolSculpting Elite target pinchable fat above the muscle wall, addressing subtle or dramatic transformations based on individual goals. Learn more about CoolSculpting for stubborn belly fat.

Does CoolSculpting work on a bigger stomach? 

Yes! There’s no such thing as too big or too small for the treatment, it’s more important to have realistic expectations. From a results standpoint, each session of CoolSculpting yields a 20-25% reduction of the treated tissue, on a bell curve. If you’re wanting to fit better in clothes, or to feel more confident while dressed, CoolSculpting can be a great fit even on a bigger stomach. That said, it does not address skin laxity or the more fibrous fat that lies below the muscle wall. 

The best and only way to find out if it’s a good choice for you is to get our advice at a consultation. Our CoolSculpting Experts spend years developing their skills and understanding of the results to expect from CoolSculpting Men’s Belly Fat to give the best advice possible. Learn more about CoolSculpting for stubborn belly fat.

CoolSculpting for Chin Men

The 3rd most commonly treated area for men is the double chin. CoolSculpting for chin men treatments are customized to chisel a more defined jawline and address the full width of the jaw, not just the chin alone. During the treatment, one to three applicators will be applied to chin, directly below the jawline and above the Adam’s Apple (hyoid bone) to address the stubborn and often inherited chin fat that persists despite weight gain or loss. The typical duration for a CoolSculpting chin session ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on client anatomy. 

When it comes to nonsurgical fat reduction, CoolSculpting is the safest and most proven technology available today. When dealing with areas like the chin, safety and precision are key, which is why provider selection is the most important decision you’ll make. Your face deserves the best, and the number of applicators and placement of applicators during the session will dictate whether you get natural looking results or not.

Dispelling Myths: Does CoolSculpting Really Work?

As with any innovative treatment, myths and questions may arise. We’ll tackle common queries such as: Is CoolSculpting effective for men? Does it permanently remove fat? Can it work on a larger stomach? We aim to provide clarity and debunk any misconceptions.

Does CoolSculpting permanently remove fat?

CoolSculpting permanently kills 20-25% of treated fat cells with each treatment session. This result is an average, on a bell curve with some clients responding less and some responding more. Once the fat is gone, it’s gone for good.

Keep in mind, fat cells left behind can still get bigger and smaller with weight gain and loss, allowing you to gain and lose weight naturally. Fat cells can hit a critical cell size and duplicate with massive weight gain, so CoolSculpting isn’t a free pass to give up healthy lifestyle choices.

Maintain your results long term with regular diet and exercise. 

Is it possible for CoolSculpting to not work?

There’s no magic wand in the world of aesthetics, but non-responders are rare in the world of CoolSculpting. While it is possible that you don’t respond to the technology, what is much more common is under-treatment. According to Allergan, the maker’s of the CoolSculpting technology in a 2021 study, 53% of patients treated with CoolSculpting were undertreated. Alternatively, 92% of patients reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their results after 2 or more sessions to the targeted area. 

At Element Body Lab, we pride ourselves on our reputation and in turn, our client’s results. Unlike other practices, we offer a guarantee on results, called our Noticeable Results Promise. If you are the rare client who did not respond to CoolSculpting after following our recommended treatment plan (including number of sessions), we will retreat to the area at no cost to you. If we still don’t see any difference, we will refund every dollar of profit we’ve made.

We will discuss all aspects of CoolSculpting, the evolution of the technology, what to expect based on your unique anatomy and goals, and our guarantee on results at a consultation. We offer both virtual and in person options to best suit your personality and schedule.
