CoolSculpting Love Handles

CoolSculpting Love Handles (Flanks)

Love handles may sound cute, but for many of us, they’re one of the most frustrating areas of fat to deal with. Located at the sides of the waist, love handles tend to be resistant to even the most dedicated fitness and nutrition routines. They can affect how your clothes fit, impact your silhouette, and make you feel like your body shape doesn’t reflect your effort or lifestyle.

At London Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, we offer CoolSculpting as a safe, non-invasive way to slim and contour this hard-to-shift area. Whether you’re dealing with mild bulging or more pronounced fat around the flanks, CoolSculpting can help refine your shape and restore your confidence—without surgery, needles or downtime.

Why Love Handles Are So Difficult to Shift

Even people who are active and close to their ideal weight often find the love handle area stubborn. These pockets of fat are typically influenced by a mix of factors, including:

• Ageing and hormonal changes – Midlife shifts in metabolism and hormones make it easier to store fat around the waist.
• Genetics – Some bodies are simply more prone to storing fat at the sides.
• Sedentary lifestyle – Desk jobs and long commutes can contribute to fat build-up around the middle.
• Stress and cortisol levels – Chronic stress increases fat retention in the abdominal area, including the flanks.

Unfortunately, targeted exercise can only do so much. Crunches and planks strengthen the muscles underneath, but they won’t directly reduce fat in that area. That’s where Fat Freezing steps in.

How does CoolSculpting Love Handles work?

To treat the love handles, a curved CoolSculpting applicator is applied to each side of the waist to gently draw in the fat and deliver controlled cooling to the area. The session lasts around 35 minutes per side, and most clients simply relax, read, scroll, or just enjoy some quiet time.

As the cooling begins, fat cells in the treated area are frozen without affecting the surrounding skin. Over time, your body naturally processes and clears these dead fat cells, gradually reducing volume at the waist and reshaping your silhouette from the sides.
