Body contouring is designed for localized pockets of fat, not overall weight loss. Identifying what can realistically be improved is the first step.
Target Stubborn Fat
At Gentle Touch MediSpa, we take a personalized approach to body contouring, targeting stubborn pockets of fat that may remain despite diet and exercise to create more balanced, natural-looking contours.
Where Fat Won’t Budge
Common Areas
- Abdomen and flanks
- Inner and outer thighs
- Under the chin
- Upper arms
- Bra line and back
Everyday Signs
- Clothes fitting differently in certain areas
- A pocket that won't change with weight loss
- Less definition through your waistline
- Fullness under the chin
- Areas that feel out of proportion
- Being close to your goal but wanting more contour
What’s Happening Beneath The Surface
Where your body stores fat is influenced by genetics, hormones, age and your individual body composition. That’s why certain areas can remain resistant even when your weight is stable and you’re consistent with diet and exercise.
Understanding where the fullness is coming from matters. Body contouring works best when the concern is a localized pocket of fat—not loose skin, significant weight to lose or something another treatment would address more effectively.
Body & Wellness Treatments
CoolSculpting ELITE can reduce pinchable fat in multiple body areas, while Kybella is designed specifically for fat beneath the chin.
Successful body contouring isn’t simply about removing fat. Treatment placement and planning matter when creating smoother, more balanced proportions.
Loose skin, significant weight loss goals or certain types of fullness may call for a different approach. We’ll tell you when the treatments we offer aren’t the right fit.
Some areas may need more than one treatment or session. Your plan should be based on your anatomy, goals and response—not a one-size-fits-all package.

Your Treatment Journey
Personalized Consultation
We assess the size, shape, and location of your fat deposits, since these vary from client to client. Proper targeting is what separates a natural-looking result from an uneven one.
Customized Plan
Your provider maps the areas that can realistically benefit from treatment and builds a plan around your anatomy, goals and the amount of change you’re looking for. We’ll also be clear about the number of sessions you may need and what kind of result you can reasonably expect.
Treatment Session
CoolSculpting ELITE is completely noninvasive, while Kybella involves a series of small injections beneath the chin. Your provider will explain what to expect during treatment, including temporary swelling, tenderness or numbness that may occur afterward.
Aftercare Guidance
Your results develop gradually as your body clears the treated fat cells over the following weeks. We’ll schedule follow-ups to track your progress and plan any additional sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
CoolSculpting ELITE can reduce up to 25% of the fat layer in a treated area with a single treatment. Many clients treat the same area more than once for further reduction, and most treat several areas over time to balance out their overall shape.
No, and that distinction matters. Body contouring targets specific pockets of stubborn fat for clients who are already close to their goal weight. It’s a shaping tool, not a substitute for weight loss, and we’ll tell you honestly if we can better serve your goals another way.
Your body gradually clears the treated fat cells. Most clients start noticing changes within a few weeks, with the fullest results visible around 3 months after treatment. Kybella results build over your series of sessions.
The treated fat cells are eliminated and don’t come back. The fat cells that remain can still enlarge, though, so maintaining your weight is what protects your results long-term.
If, 4 months after completing your recommended treatment plan, you haven’t seen a visible reduction in the fat layer, and you haven’t gained 3 pounds or more, we’ll provide an additional treatment for free.
Most clients describe CoolSculpting as an intense cold and pulling sensation for the first several minutes, which fades as the area numbs. Kybella involves a series of small injections and some swelling afterward, which is expected and temporary.
Yes. Neither treatment requires recovery time, and most clients can fit sessions into a lunch break. You may have some tenderness, numbness, or swelling in the treated area for a few days, but nothing that keeps you from your routine.
That’s exactly what your consultation is for. CoolSculpting suits larger pockets on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms, while Kybella is built specifically for fat beneath the chin. Plenty of clients use both. We’ll map it out based on where your fat actually sits and what you want your profile to look like.
