Cryolipolysis & RF tightening · MD-directed · Published pricing
Non-surgical fat reduction for the stubborn, pinchable pockets that diet and gym time won’t touch. This page tells you what it costs, what it can realistically do — and, because nobody else around here will, exactly who it won’t work for.
Let’s be precise, because this is the most over-promised treatment in aesthetics. Body contouring at Lakeshore uses two FDA-cleared technologies: cryolipolysis, which freezes the fat cells in a targeted pocket so your body clears them naturally over the following weeks, and radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening, which heats the deeper skin layers to stimulate new collagen in areas with mild laxity.
A round of cryolipolysis typically reduces the fat in the treated pocket by 20–25%, with full results at about three months. That’s a visibly smoother waistband — not a smaller number on the scale. If you’re looking to lose 30 pounds, this is the wrong tool, and we’ll tell you that in the first five minutes of your consultation.
Printed numbers, not “call for a quote.” Most abdomen plans land between $1,300 and $2,600 total.
| Treatment | Typical plan | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cryolipolysis fat reduction | per applicator | From $650 |
| Abdomen | 2–4 applicators | $1,300–$2,600 |
| Flanks (“love handles”) | 2 applicators (one per side) | From $1,300 |
| RF skin tightening | per session | From $350 |
| RF series (most plans) | 4–6 sessions | Package pricing — 10–15% off |
| Progress photos at every stage | — | Included |
Your exact applicator count is mapped in your free consultation and written into a plan with the total price — you approve it before anything is scheduled. See our full published price list for every treatment we offer.

That candor is the whole point of this practice. It’s also credential check #1 we’d tell you to run on any med spa: do they ever say no?
We photograph and mark the treatment map you approved, then apply each applicator for 35–45 minutes. You’ll feel deep cold, then nothing. Back to normal life immediately.
Your lymphatic system is quietly clearing the treated fat cells. Clothes start fitting differently before the mirror catches up. We photograph again at week 6 so you can see it objectively.
Full result, side-by-side photos, and an honest review: keep the result, treat a second round for further reduction, or stop. About a third of our clients are done after one round.
The first 5–10 minutes of cryolipolysis are intensely cold — most clients rate it 3–4/10 — then the area goes numb and you can read or answer email. Afterward expect soreness, tingling, and numbness for a week or two, similar to a hard workout. RF tightening is genuinely comfortable; most people compare it to a hot-stone massage.
The treated fat cells are permanently cleared — adults don’t grow new ones. But the cells that remain can still expand if you gain weight, which is exactly why we screen for candidates within about 15 pounds of a stable goal weight. Maintain your weight and the result holds for years.
Most areas need one to two rounds, spaced about three months apart, and most abdomen plans use 2–4 applicators per round. RF tightening typically runs 4–6 sessions. You’ll get the exact count — and the exact total price — in writing before you book anything.
Liposuction removes significantly more fat in a single procedure, but it’s surgery: anesthesia, compression garments, downtime, and several times the cost. Contouring is gradual, subtle, and fits around a normal week. Neither is “better” — they solve different problems, and if your goals point to surgery, we’ll tell you that for free rather than sell you the wrong treatment.
Constantly — flanks and abdomen are the most-requested male areas in our practice, and the technology works identically. See our men’s treatments page for the full lineup, from contouring to laser hair removal.
