Unwanted Body Fat
Stubborn pockets of body fat in specific areas can be difficult to reduce, even with consistent diet and exercise. These concerns are common and often relate to how the body naturally stores fat rather than lifestyle alone.
At Advanced Skin and Body Solutions in Bellevue, we offer non-surgical body contouring treatments designed to target these areas and help improve overall body shape and definition. Treatment plans are personalized based on your goals, body composition, and the areas you would like to address.
What Causes Stubborn Fat?
Stubborn fat refers to localised areas of fat that remain in specific parts of the body despite maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back, chin, and under the buttocks. These fat deposits are largely influenced by genetics and hormones, which is why they can persist even when overall body weight is well managed.
While exercise can reduce the size of fat cells, it does not eliminate them. Non-surgical body contouring treatments work differently by targeting and permanently destroying fat cells in the treated area. These cells are then naturally processed and removed by the body over time.
These treatments are not intended for overall weight loss, but rather for individuals who are close to their goal weight and want to address specific areas of stubborn fat. A consultation is the best way to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for treatment.
