Freeze away stubborn fat pockets without surgery, offered by our board-certified dermatologist-led team in Nashville, TN.
Body Contouring
Diet and exercise can only do so much about certain pockets of fat -- the ones that seem to stick around no matter how consistent you are. Non-invasive fat reduction treatments were designed for exactly that frustration, using controlled cooling to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells without surgery, incisions, or real downtime.
The treatment works by cooling fat cells in the targeted area to a temperature that damages them without harming the skin above -- the body then naturally processes and eliminates those cells over the following weeks and months. It's a genuinely different mechanism than weight loss; it's not about shrinking fat cells, it's about reducing their number in a specific area for good.
Because results depend heavily on correct applicator placement and treatment planning for your specific body shape, this isn't a treatment where a generic approach delivers a great outcome. At Progressive Dermatology, treatment plans are designed by our board-certified dermatologists, mapping out exactly which areas and how many cycles will get you the most natural-looking result.
You might notice temporary numbness, redness, or mild swelling in the treated area, but most patients are back to their regular routine, including exercise, the same day. Results build gradually over one to three months as your body processes the treated fat cells, with the final result becoming clear around the three-month mark.
If certain areas have resisted your best efforts at diet and exercise, Progressive Dermatology in Nashville, TN can help you figure out whether non-invasive fat reduction is the missing piece.

Patients at or near a stable weight with specific, stubborn fat pockets they'd like to reduce, rather than those seeking overall weight loss.
