Body Contouring for the Buttocks: Thermage and CoolSculpting Explained

Minimally and Noninvasive Treatments That Firm, Sculpt, and Redefine Your Natural Shape

When it comes to body confidence, it’s not about changing who you are—it’s about celebrating what’s already there. If you’re looking to lift, tighten, or smooth your natural curves, LaserAway offers two advanced, science-backed options that deliver firmer, more sculpted results with little to no downtime: Thermage, a minimally invasive skin-tightening treatment, and CoolSculpting, a noninvasive contouring solution.

Both treatments are safe, effective, and personalized to your goals—helping you feel confident from every angle.

Why the Buttocks Can Lose Firmness Over Time

Over time, your skin naturally produces less collagen, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Lifestyle, genetics, and even gravity can also influence how the buttocks look and feel. While strength training helps maintain muscle tone, it can’t always address skin laxity or localized fat that resists diet and exercise.

That’s where technology comes in. At LaserAway, we combine medical expertise with advanced energy-based treatments to help you smooth, lift, and refine the areas that matter most—without surgery or long recovery times.

CoolSculpting: Noninvasive Contouring with Precision

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to safely eliminate stubborn fat cells beneath the skin. It’s ideal for refining areas like the buttocks, thighs, and flanks—especially where fat tends to linger despite consistent workouts.

During treatment, one of our clinicians applies a CoolSculpting applicator that gently cools the targeted area. Fat cells are crystallized and naturally eliminated by your body over the following weeks. Once those fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

“CoolSculpting, as the name suggests, it’s about body contouring. It sculpts, so it is not utilized for weight loss per se,” explains Dr. Will Kirby, Chief Medical Officer of LaserAway. “Now, it does work best in concert with lifestyle modification, so that includes a healthy diet and an exercise routine.”

 

What to expect with CoolSculpting:

  • Noninvasive fat reduction for smoother contours
  • No anesthesia, incisions, or downtime
  • Gradual, natural-looking results over two to three months

CoolSculpting is perfect for patients who want a more defined, sculpted look in the buttocks area—without surgery or disruption to their daily routine.

Thermage: Minimally Invasive Skin Tightening and Lifting

Thermage is a minimally invasive treatment that uses advanced radiofrequency energy to tighten, lift, and smooth the skin from within. By delivering heat to the deeper dermal layers, Thermage stimulates new collagen production and contracts existing fibers, resulting in firmer, more resilient skin.

Unlike treatments that only target the surface, Thermage strengthens the skin’s foundational structure—improving tone, elasticity, and overall texture for months after treatment.

“You can expect results from Thermage to show up in as early as one month,” says Dr. Will Kirby. “But optimal benefits manifest themselves at about the six-month mark.”

 

What makes Thermage unique:

  • Minimally invasive, single-session treatment
  • Gradual, natural results that improve over time
  • No downtime or disruption to your daily routine
  • Safe and effective for all skin tones and types

When applied to the buttocks, Thermage helps lift and firm while also smoothing uneven or crepey skin—creating a more toned, youthful appearance.

Combining CoolSculpting and Thermage for Comprehensive Results

While each treatment is powerful on its own, CoolSculpting and Thermage complement each other beautifully. CoolSculpting helps contour by reducing fat beneath the skin, while Thermage tightens and firms the surface.

Together, they deliver a more refined, lifted result—without surgery or recovery time. Your LaserAway treatment specialist will personalize your plan based on your goals, skin type, and body composition to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.

Maintaining Your Results

Small daily habits help extend and enhance your Thermage and CoolSculpting outcomes:

  • Stay hydrated: Water supports healthy skin and circulation.
  • Keep active: Consistent movement and glute-focused exercises help maintain tone.
  • Eat nutrient-dense foods: Support collagen health with antioxidants, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
  • Care for your skin: Regular exfoliation and moisturizing help preserve smoothness and glow.

These habits complement your professional treatments, helping you feel confident and strong in your skin.
