Do you have a problem area you have been thinking about treating with CoolSculpting?
That one spot that never seems to budge, no matter how consistent you are with your workouts. The annoying area that holds on, even when the number on the scale goes down. The one that catches your eye in photos or in certain outfits and makes you think, why is that still there?!
If so, you’re are not alone. And if you thought CoolSculpting was just for contouring the abdomen, Refinery Skin Clinic has news for you.
While many of our clients first discover CoolSculpting as a solution for stubborn belly fat, what keeps them coming back and what often surprises them most is just how strategic and versatile this treatment can be. Because here’s the truth: body contouring is not about changing everything. It is about refining the right things.
And with CoolSculpting ELITE, those right things might be areas you have never even considered, or the exact problem area you’re concerned about, but didn’t think you could treat.
A Quick Refinery Reality Check: What CoolSculpting Actually Does
Before we dive into the lesser known treatment areas that CoolSculpting ELITE can permanently destroy fat in, let’s do refresh on how it works, because this fat-freezing technology has evolved and so has the way we approach it at Refinery Skin Clinic in Burnsville.
CoolSculpting ELITE uses a clinically-proven process called cryolipolysis, a safe, controlled cooling technology that targets and freezes fat cells beneath the skin without harming surrounding tissue.
Here’s why it works:
- Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than surrounding tissue
- During a CoolSculpting treatment, controlled cooling crystallizes those fat cells
- Your body then naturally processes and eliminates them over time
- Once eliminated, those fat cells are gone for good (up to 25% with each treatment)
No needles. No surgery. No downtime.
But this is where expertise matters, because how and where we treat makes all the difference.
“CoolSculpting is not just about freezing fat. It is about understanding how fat is distributed and how to shape the body in a way that looks natural,” says Kylie Hewett, an AP Esthetician and Certified CoolSculpting Provider at Refinery Skin Clinic. “That is where experience really matters.”
With thousands of CoolSculpting treatments performed to date , Kylie approaches every plan with a customized strategy and precision, because the goal is not just fat reduction – it’s natural looking balance and refinement that compliments your entire body.
So Where Can You Treat with CoolSculpting ELITE?
If you though that CoolSculpting only worked on your stomach area, you are just scratching the surface of what it can do!
CoolSculpting ELITE is FDA cleared to treat visible fat in nine different areas of the body. And when we say areas, we are not talking about one single spot. We are talking about multiple zones that can be treated individually or combined strategically.
These include:
The abdomen
The flanks, often referred to as love handles
The upper arms
The submental area under the chin (double chin)
The upper back and bra fat area
The lower back
The inner thighs
The outer thighs
The area underneath the buttocks, often called the banana roll
Each of these areas requires a slightly different approach, different applicators, and a different level of precision. That’s where artistry and the expertise of an experienced provider, like Kylie, comes in.
The Chin: Small Area, With a Big Impact
A little fullness under the chin can soften your profile, blur your jawline, and show up in photos long before you notice it in the mirror. CoolSculpting allows us to sculpt, contour, and refine this area in a way that enhances your natural facial structure and sharpens your profile.
“The chin is one of my favorite areas to treat because the visual impact is so noticeable,” Kylie shares. “It can completely elevate your profile in a really subtle and natural way.”
Arms: Because Toned Is Not Just About Muscle
You can be super consistent with workouts and still feel like your arms are not reflecting your effort. That’s because muscle tone and fat reduction are completely different. You’ll never see the contour of your hard earned arm muscles if there’s a layer of fat on top of them.
CoolSculpting helps refine the contour of the upper arms so they appear smoother and more proportional to the rest of the body. Even Refinery Skin Clinic clients who have lost a substantial amount of weight through our medical weight loss program, may still feel like their arms are a problem area. CoolSculpting is fantastic option if you find your upper arm thickness seems to be resistant to diet, exercise, and weight loss.
“We are not trying to make arms smaller with CoolSculpting,” Kylie explains. “We are creating a more defined shape that aligns with the rest of your body and feels and looks more in proportion.”
Bra Fat and Back Fat: The Area Everyone Notices
This is one of the most common concerns clients bring up, and often one of the most satisfying to treat!
The area around the bra line and upper back can create bulging or unevenness under clothing, even in people who are otherwise very fit or slim. With precise placement, your CoolSculpting provider can smooth this area and create a more seamless transition across the back, even in the tightest of tank tops.
“This is one of those areas where clients are surprised by how much of a difference it makes,” Kylie says. “It is not always about removing a large volume. It is about refining the contour and making your clothes feel and look better.”
Abdomen and Flanks: The Foundation of Body Contouring
Yes, the abdomen and flanks are still some of the most commonly treated areas, and for good reason. These areas tend to hold onto stubborn fat that does not respond easily to lifestyle changes. But even here, the approach matters…a lot.
Rather than treating the abdomen in isolation, we often look at how it connects with the flanks to create a more balanced, natural result. In fact, your customized treatment plan may include treating the entire circumference of your waistline to get the best result.
“It is never just one area when it comes to treating your abdomen with CoolSculpting,” Kylie explains. “We are always looking at how everything works together to ensure we get the best end result with seamless transitions across your midsection.”
Thighs: Balance Over Reduction
When it comes to CoolSculpting thighs, the goal is not simply to reduce fat. It is to create smoothness, balance, and ideal proportions.
“With CoolSculpting thighs, balance is everything,” Kylie notes. “You want a smooth transition from the hips down to the knees. That is what makes the result look natural. Some clients only need the inner or outer thighs treated, but some may benefit from having both areas contoured for optimal results.”
Under the Glutes: The Detail That Changes Everything
The area just beneath the buttocks, often referred to as the banana roll, is one of the most overlooked treatment areas in CoolSculpting. However, it can make a significant difference in how your lower body looks overall, especially your backside!
By refining this area, we can create a smoother transition between the glutes and thighs, which can enhance the overall shape of your buttocks without adding volume.
“This is a finishing touch area,” Kylie says. “But it is often the detail that pulls everything together when you’re talking about smooth transitions between the butt and upper thighs.”
Why Most People Do Not Know About These Areas
CoolSculpting was originally introduced as a solution for belly fat, because let’s face it, most of us are self-conscious about exposing this area with any extra fat on it and the struggle to lose weight here is universal. But since its creation, the technology and the approach to CoolSculpting have evolved…significantly.
Refinery Skin Clinic’s CoolSculpting ELITE allows for faster, more customized treatments, more efficient and effective sessions, and more precise contouring across multiple areas of the body.
“The technology is important, but the real results come from how we use it,” Kylie explains. “Planning and customization are everything.”
It Is Not Just Where You Treat. It Is How You Treat
Two people can treat the same area and have very different outcomes with CoolSculpting.
That’s because results depend on:
- Applicator selection
- Placement and technique
- Understanding fat distribution
- Creating balance across the body
- The right number of treatments to get you to your goal
At Refinery Skin Clinic, CoolSculpting is not treated like a quick fix. It is treated like a customized strategy.
“I always tell clients this is not about spot treating one area,” Kylie says. “It is about creating a result that looks natural from every angle. That’s why my consultations always address the body as whole, not just one area. We start with your area of concern and map out your ideal treatment plan, while honoring the adjacent areas of your body that will be impacted by reducing fat in your trouble spot. My clients quickly realize the benefit of taking this whole body approach to achieve the most natural-looking results.”
For Past CoolSculpting Clients: Why It Might Be Time to Revisit
If you have had CoolSculpting before, you already know how effective it can be. But what often happens next is something many clients do not expect. Once one area is refined, other areas become more noticeable in a way that feels like the next step, not a setback.
“A lot of returning clients come in and say they love their results, but now they are noticing another area,” Kylie shares. “That is actually a good thing. It means we are refining further.”
This is not starting over. It’s is building on your results with a treatment that has proven to work for you!
For New Clients: Is CoolSculpting Right for You?
CoolSculpting is ideal for those who are close to their goal weight but have stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss solution. It’s a body contouring treatment designed to target specific areas.
“The best candidates are people who are already taking care of themselves and living a healthy lifestyle,” Kylie says. “CoolSculpting can help address problem areas, compliment the success you’re already seeing with diet and exercise, and give you a boost of confidence to keep working toward your goals.”
