Does Cryolipolysis work for a person with a little bit of belly fat?

Hello and thank you for your question! This is a common concern, especially for men around age 50, as hormonal changes and a slower metabolism can make fat more stubborn—particularly around the abdomen. Even with a healthy body overall, localized belly fat can be resistant to diet and exercise alone.

In your case, body contouring treatments like Emsculpt Neo and CoolSculpt Elite (cryolipolysis) can be great tools because they target fat without requiring major weight loss that could leave you looking "overly thin or unhealthy". These treatments work by breaking down fat cells in specific areas without affecting surrounding tissues. You’re not alone in this—many people use them to fine-tune areas that don’t respond to fitness efforts. A combination approach, along with giving your body recovery time between treatments, can offer the best results!

Best of luck in your journey!

Cryolipolysis can be used to target areas of unwanted fat. It could possibly be used to remove a small amount of fat in the abdomen. An examination of you would ultimately be needed to determine if you might be a good candidate for the procedure.
