Sculpt & Smooth
Almost everyone who comes to us about their body is describing one of two things, and they are not the same thing. Either there is a pocket of fat that will not go away no matter how consistent you are, or the skin in that area has lost its firmness and no amount of fat loss will fix it.
CoolSculpting Elite is for the fat. Controlled cooling eliminates those cells permanently, with no downtime. Morpheus8 Body is for the skin. Radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the surface rebuilds collagen to firm and smooth. It requires a short recovery and works as a series.
Treating the wrong one is the most common reason people are disappointed by non-surgical body work, so we start by figuring out which one you actually have. Sometimes it is both.
Personalized Body Transformation
-
CoolSculpting Elite
Effectively addresses mild to moderate stubborn bulges via non-invasive cryolipolysis—an ideal, balanced solution for "new mommies" and those with active lifestyles. It is specifically designed for pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise.
-
Morpheus8 Body
A sophisticated radiofrequency energy microneedling treatment that targets depths of up uto 8mm. It is designed to liquefy fat and remodel collagen, smoothing "crepey" textures and improving mild to moderate skin laxity on the abdomen, arms, and knees.
-
FDA-Approved
CoolSculpting® is FDA-cleared to treat visible fat bulges in 9 different areas of the body. It is a safe, clinically proven medical device with over 17 million treatments performed worldwide. Morpheus8 is the only FDA-cleared technology to penetrate subdermal tissue at a depth of up to 8mm, allowing it to target deeper layers of fat and skin than standard facial treatments.
Targeted Results: Choosing the right technology for your body goals

Non-surgical treatments work best for mild to moderate pockets of fat, skin laxity, or a combination of both. We assess your anatomy, tissue, and goals to determine what is actually causing the concern and create a precise, personalized plan focused on natural-looking results. If these treatments cannot realistically deliver what you want, we will tell you.

Yes. When an area has both stubborn fat and loose skin, the treatments can be combined in a carefully sequenced plan: CoolSculpting reduces the fat pocket, while Morpheus8 improves firmness and texture. We determine whether you need one treatment or both during your assessment.
CoolSculpting® Elite
Your CoolSculpting plan is based on the number and placement of applicator cycles, not a predetermined package. We assess whether the fat is pinchable, which applicator fits your anatomy, how many cycles can realistically achieve your goal, and whether fat, not loose skin, is actually the concern. If you’re not a good candidate, we’ll tell you rather than take your money and disappoint you three months later. Learn more about CoolSculpting →
Sessions
Most areas need more than one round of treatment. Elite treats two areas at once, so a session covers more ground.
Recovery
CoolSculpting requires no recovery period, making it a practical choice for busy patients and new moms. You can return to work or the gym the same day, although temporary redness, firmness, or numbness may occur, along with brief discomfort during the post-treatment massage.
Results
Fat cells are destroyed permanently, but your body clears them gradually over the following weeks, which is why the result shows up slowly rather than all at once. Most areas need more than one round of treatment. Results start around 3 weeks, with the full result at 2 to 3 months. Results hold at a stable weight, since remaining fat cells can still enlarge.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the area and how many applicator cycles it takes, not the session. A submental pocket and a full abdomen aren't the same treatment.
We price by treatment plan rather than single session, because most areas need more than one round to reach the result you're picturing.
Morpheus8
Your Morpheus8 plan depends on the depth and coverage your skin needs—not simply the number of visits. We assess whether the concern is skin laxity or a fat bulge, how deeply to treat each area, whether a non-surgical treatment can achieve a meaningful result, and how many areas you want to address.

Recovery
Unlike CoolSculpting, this treatment has visible downtime, so plan accordingly. You can return to normal activities quickly, but redness, swelling, and fine pinpoint marks may remain visible for up to a week.
Sessions
3 treatments for most patients set 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Results
Results build over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms. Improvement continues after your final session.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the area treated. Arms and a full abdomen aren't the same treatment.
We price by package rather than single session, because the treatment only works as a series. Buying one at a time costs more overall and produces worse results.
What Treatment Looks Like
Coolsculpting® under the chin
CoolSculpting® uses controlled cooling to target stubborn fat beneath the chin without surgery or needles. Over time, the treated fat cells are naturally eliminated, creating a slimmer, more defined profile.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep beneath the skin. When used on the stomach, it can gradually improve skin firmness, texture, and the appearance of mild laxity.
"The treatments were top-notch..."
"I recently visited South Bay Med Spa and had an amazing experience! Marina and Sarena were fantastic—super professional and knowledgeable. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated."
A Personal Approach to Body Contouring
“Body contouring is a vulnerable experience, which is why I prioritize trust and total honesty. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and heard throughout your journey.
During our consultation, I am transparent about three things: working within your budget, setting realistic expectations, and explaining the process.
For my "new mommies" and busy clients, I highly recommend CoolSculpting because it offers incredible results with minimal to no downtime. While final results take about 6–8 weeks, the convenience of returning to your routine immediately makes it a favorite for those on the go.”
