Understanding the Concern

Why some fat persists, and how to finally address it

Certain fat deposits are anatomically resistant to calorie deficit, they lose fat last, if ever, regardless of how diligently you eat and exercise. Non-surgical body contouring can permanently eliminate these cells.

Fat distribution is largely genetic. The "problem areas" that persist despite weight loss efforts have higher concentrations of alpha-adrenergic receptors, which resist lipolysis in response to exercise. Targeting these areas surgically or with FDA-approved non-surgical methods bypasses this resistance.

At Florida Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer a full range of body contouring options alongside our medical weight management program, because optimal results usually require addressing body composition, not just fat alone.

Resistant Areas

We use CoolSculpting Elite with dual applicators to treat common areas like the abdomen, love handles, and thighs in a single session.

Double Chin

Specialized applicators target genetic fat under the chin that persists regardless of overall body weight.

Post-Weight Loss Sculpting

For patients who have reached their goals through GLP-1 therapy, body contouring targets the final remaining pockets for a polished result.

Common Questions

Stubborn fat & body contouring FAQ

It is important to understand that CoolSculpting is a clinical body contouring treatment, not a solution for overall weight loss. While it permanently reduces fat in specific, targeted areas, it may not significantly alter the number on a scale. At Florida Aesthetics & Wellness, we find the ideal candidates are at or near their healthy weight but struggle with resistant fat deposits. For patients seeking significant weight reduction, we recommend our licensed medical providers medical weight management program.

CoolSculpting Elite is designed to reduce the fat layer in the treated area by approximately 20 to 25% per session. Most of our Brandon patients achieve their desired results within 1 to 2 sessions per area. Because this is a biological process, results become visible at 8 weeks and continue to improve through weeks 12 to 16 as your body naturally processes and eliminates the treated fat cells.

Yes. The fat cells that are frozen and eliminated during the treatment are gone permanently. Unlike weight loss where cells simply shrink, these cells are physically removed from the body. However, it is essential to maintain a stable weight, as remaining fat cells in the surrounding area can still enlarge with significant weight gain.

Our CoolSculpting Elite technology is FDA-cleared for 9 specific areas, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, under-buttocks, bra rolls, and upper arms. We also specialize in treating the submental area (double chin) to sharpen the jawline profile. Your medical provider will assess your anatomy during your consultation to create a customized sculpting plan.

Absolutely. This is often the most effective approach for total body transformation. Many of our patients use GLP-1 medications (like Semaglutide) to achieve their goal weight and then use CoolSculpting to target the specific, resistant pockets of fat that remain. This "inside-out" approach ensures you achieve both your weight goals and your desired body shape.
