Stubborn Fat & Cellulite

 

Causes

Stubborn fat is physiologically different from other fat. Stubborn fat is more insulin sensitive and receives less blood flow than regular fat – making it harder the get rid of with the usual diet and exercise. The most stubborn areas of fat are the hips, butt, thighs of women, and the love handles on men.

Fat in general, inadvertently causes cellulite – a condition in which the skin has a dimpled, lumpy appearance.

Our Recommended Treatments

CoolSculpting

  • Targets: Stubborn pockets of unwanted fat
  • Treatment: CoolSculpting targets and eliminates fat cells in an easy, non-intrusive fashion by freezing the cells to a point of elimination. The denatured fat cells are then naturally eliminated from your body. The treatment is painless and causes no discomfort as it departs from the conventional liposuction method involving needles, knives and suction hoses.
  • Method: Cryolipolysis (fat-freezing)
  • Downtime: Lunchtime procedure
  • Frequency: 6-10 weeks (depending on the patient)

Meso-Lipo Therapy

  • Targets: Cellulite, localised fat deposits, promotes weight loss
  • Treatment: Meso-Lipo Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that is widely used in Europe as a fat melting injection. Using an injectable serum made of soy bean lechitin and enzymes, the targeted area with cellulite or stubborn localised fat deposits are injected to encourage fat reduction and weight loss without the need for extensive surgery.
  • Types of procedure: Injections
  • Downtime: Swelling and bruising up to 2 to 3 days
  • Frequency: Once a week, 8- 10 sessions

Exion RF Microneedling

  • Targets: Skin tightening, loss of elasticity, and overall skin rejuvenation
  • Treatment: Exion RF Microneedling combines the power of traditional microneedling with radio-frequency (RF) energy. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers to stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, and improve overall texture and tone.
  • Method: Microneedling with radio-frequency (RF)
  • Downtime: Minimal; mild redness or swelling may last for a few hours to a day
  • Frequency: 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results

Thermage®

  • Targets: Sagging skin with volume loss in the chest, arms, thighs and tummy
  • Treatment: Thermage® uses a non-invasive, radio-frequency (RF) procedure to stimulate collagen production. As a result, the skin is tightened, smoothened and contoured for a younger looking appearance
  • Method: Radio-frequency (RF) cosmetic procedure
  • Downtime: Lunchtime procedure
  • Frequency: 12-16 months

BTL Exilis Ultra 360

This non-invasive treatment helps contour and tighten the skin while also stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin for a more youthful, firm appearance. PBSerum is ideal for targeting localized fat deposits and improving the skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity. It’s perfect for individuals looking to address concerns like skin laxity, stubborn fat, or signs of aging.
