Fat Reduction Treatments to Eliminate Stubborn Body Fat and Contour Your Shape

Localized fat pockets are common — and often resistant to diet and exercise. At Skin Care Institute, we target these trouble zones using industry-leading technologies like CoolSculpting®, Venus Bliss™, and radiofrequency lipolysis. These treatments freeze, melt, or disrupt fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time.

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, and under the chin. With personalized treatment plans and expert guidance, we’ll help you achieve a slimmer, more confident silhouette — safely and effectively.

What to Expect from Your Body Fat Reduction Treatments

1–3 Days

You may experience mild swelling, tingling, or soreness in the treated area, similar to post-workout muscle fatigue or a bruise. This is a normal part of the body’s fat elimination process.

✓ Mild redness, swelling, or numbness
✓ Treated area may feel firm or cold to the touch
✓ No downtime — resume normal activities immediately

4–10 Days

Swelling begins to subside as the lymphatic system starts clearing away the damaged fat cells. The treated area may feel less bloated, and slight contour improvements may become noticeable.

✓ Reduction in puffiness or bloating
✓ Enhanced skin firmness in targeted zones
✓ Continued metabolic fat flushing

3–6 Weeks

Significant fat reduction becomes visible as more fat cells are metabolized and eliminated. Clothing may begin to fit better, and your shape becomes noticeably leaner.

✓ Slimmer, more defined contours
✓ Improved proportions and body balance
✓ Boost in confidence and body satisfaction

8–12 Weeks+

Maximum results are typically achieved around the 3-month mark. Follow-up treatments may be scheduled for additional refinement or to treat new areas.

✓ Long-term fat reduction in treated zones
✓ Permanently destroyed fat cells
✓ More sculpted, confident body appearance
