The words “body sculpting” evoke images of trim waists, slim hips, and a flat abdomen, but today’s nonsurgical and non invasive body contouring options go beyond just those classic trouble spots. Body sculpting treatments like CoolSculpting® and EMSCULPT® at our Dallas dermatology practice can slim down everything from a double chin to a banana roll, often with very little to no recovery time.
Wondering which procedure could be right for you? Read on to learn more about the most common problem spots and the best solutions for each one.
Double Chin
This pocket of fat under the chin obscures a sculpted, defined jawline and neck. It’s an area where many people are naturally predisposed to store fat, even at a healthy weight.
The solutions:
- KYBELLA® — Injectable treatment that helps the body break down submental fat with a series of 2 to 4 treatments.
- CoolSculpting® — Nonsurgical fat freezing option that eliminates submental fat without incisions.
Upper Arms (Bat Wings)
Excess fat, diminished muscle tone, and aging cause the flabby skin that hangs from the triceps. This keeps some people from feeling confident in sleeveless tops or dresses.
The solutions:
- CoolSculpting® — Reduces stubborn subcutaneous fat in the upper arm area.
- EMSCULPT® — Uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to build muscle and enhance arm contour.
- Combination Approach — Pairing CoolSculpting with EMSCULPT can provide both fat reduction and muscle toning for a more defined upper arm.
Belly Fat
The abdomen is one of the most common spots for fat accumulation. Even people who work out regularly and lead healthy lifestyles often find they need a bit of help achieving that flat, firm, well-defined midsection they’re after.
The solutions:
- CoolSculpting® — Targets and eliminates fat cells through controlled cooling.
- EMSCULPT® — Strengthens and tones abdominal muscles while also reducing fat.
- Combination Treatment — Using both treatments together can enhance muscular definition and fat reduction in the midsection. Learn more about combining CoolSculpting and EMSCULPT in our related blog post.

Waist & Flanks
Body contouring treatments are ideal for reducing the pinchable fat that hangs over the side of your waistband or thickens your waistline (often referred to as “love handles”).
The solution:
- CoolSculpting® — Effectively reduces pinchable fat along the waist and flanks for a slimmer profile.
Thighs
Stubborn fat deposits, dwindling muscle tone, and cellulite can cause thighs to appear flabby and dimpled.
The solution:
- EMTONE® — Specifically targets cellulite to improve smoothness and tone.
- CoolSculpting® — May be used to reduce fat pockets in combination with EMTONE for a more contoured thigh appearance.
- EMSCULPT® — Adds muscle tone to complement fat reduction and cellulite improvement.
Buttocks
Saggy, dimpled buttocks are a common issue for many people. Squats alone aren’t always enough to achieve the round, lifted shape many people are after.
The solutions:
- EMSCULPT — Strengthens and tones gluteal muscles.
- EMTONE — Smooths visible cellulite in the buttock area.
Banana Rolls
The crescent-shaped rolls of fat beneath your buttocks are particularly challenging to eliminate with diet and routine exercise.
The solution:
- CoolSculpting® — Reduces fat in this area to help slim and define the rear silhouette. A recent study showed that multiple CoolSculpting treatments across several areas of the body, including banana rolls, provided a mean decrease in skinfold thickness of 40%.
- EMSCULPT® — Can enhance muscle tone beneath the area being treated to further contour and shape.
