Ask anyone at your gym what area on their body they struggle with the most and the answer you’ll likely hear is, “my love handles.”
Despite the name, we have yet to find anything lovable about these stubborn pockets of fat.
Love handles sit on the side of the abdominal area, they don’t fit into your jeans (muffin top, anyone?!) and even if you are in the best shape of your life, you still may not be able to escape them.
WHAT CAUSES LOVE HANDLES?
The areas that extend outward from the hips, more commonly called “love handles,” are caused by excess fat accumulation around the hips and abdominal area.
When you take in more calories than you burn, the fat cells around your body become larger, altering your appearance, especially around the midsection. Men’s bodies are most susceptible to fat accumulation in the love handle area.
Factors that contribute to fat accumulation and love handle formation include:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Aging
- Lack of exercise
- Poor diet
- Sleep deprivation
- Untreated thyroid conditions
While you can diet and perform exercises that specifically target your back, hips, and abs to reduce the appearance of your love handles, you likely will not be able to completely eliminate them through these methods alone.
Don’t keep feeling frustrated by diet and exercise-resistant love handles, come to Images Med Spa for love handle fat reduction in Mokena instead!
COOLSCULPTING FOR LOVE HANDLE FAT REDUCTION
If all that’s standing in the way of achieving your perfect body are your stubborn love handles, come talk to the Images body experts! We are the premier provider of CoolSculpting® for love handle fat reduction.
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that targets the fat cells in your love handles and crystallizes (freezes) them.
The frozen cells then die naturally and are disposed of by your body, resulting in a more sculpted version of you (without love handles!).
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COOLSCULPTING
During your complimentary consultation with one of our body experts, we will make sure you are a good candidate for CoolSculpting® for love handle treatments.
On the day of your appointment, your Images specialist will apply a gel pad and CoolSculpting applicator to your flanks, or love handles.
The device will begin sucking the excess fat to separate it and freeze it.
We then begin the treatment, in which you may experience some pulling and pinching during the process that most clients tolerate very well.
During the treatment, many clients relax and listen to music, #NetflixandChill, or catch up on work emails.
After the fat is completely frozen, your specialist will gently massage and break up the frozen deep tissue and help your body begin to resorb the destroyed fat cells.
