Struggling with stubborn love handles? Discover the best CoolSculpting, CoolTone, and Liposculpture treatments at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego.

If you’re frustrated by stubborn love handles that won’t go away despite diet and exercise, you’re not alone. Love handles—those pockets of fat on the sides of the waist—can be difficult to target without professional body contouring treatments.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego, we specialize in non-invasive and surgical treatments to help you achieve a sleeker, more sculpted waistline without the need for surgery.


Why Do Love Handles Form?

Love handles develop due to excess fat accumulation in the flanks, but men and women store fat differently:

  • Men: Tend to accumulate visceral fat in the abdominal region and flanks, making it more resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Women: Typically store subcutaneous fat in the hips, thighs, and lower abdomen. This fat responds well to non-invasive fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting.

Because of these differences, the best love handle treatments vary based on gender, body composition, and individual goals.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we offer advanced body sculpting treatments to target and reduce love handles with minimal to no downtime.
