Effective Treatments for Stubborn Fat
After a conversation in clinic the other day, we realised we now have five treatments that can help with stubborn fat. What does this mean for our patients? It means they have so much more of a chance of removing this stubborn fat than with a clinic that has just the one.
What exactly do we mean by stubborn fat?
We are talking about the kind of fat that does not seem to shift, no matter the diet, the exercise or whatever else you try. It is usually subcutaneous fat, as opposed to visceral fat and it could be situated anywhere on the body. For men, it usually means fat found on the belly, the chin, and the chest. With women, it’s mostly found on the upper arms and back, and also the stomach.
The Stubborn Fat Treatment Options
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting, or cryolipolysis, involves freezing fat cells until they’re destroyed, after which your body naturally processes and eliminates them. This non-invasive procedure targets tough-to-shift fat areas on most body areas. Think of it as putting your fat on ice, literally. No incisions, no needles, just a chilly goodbye to stubborn fat.
Aqualyx
Aqualyx works using a solution injected directly into the stubborn fat, liquefying the fat cells and breaking them down. This process, known as “aqueous fat dissolving,” targets fat cells, which are then eliminated through the body’s lymphatic system. It’s particularly effective for those hard-to-reach areas, offering a more sculpted and defined appearance without the need for surgical intervention.
BodyTite
BodyTite offers a minimally invasive procedure that reduces fat and tightens the skin. Radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) delivers energy to melt fat and tighten skin simultaneously. Ideal for those who want to address both excess fat and sagging skin, BodyTite provides a two-for-one punch that can significantly enhance body contours. It’s a bit more involved than other options but offers both seen and felt results.
Endolift
Endolift is the laser show of the fat reduction world. A minimally invasive laser treatment, it targets the dermis to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and reduce fat layers. With its fibre optic technology, Endolift can get into those nooks and crannies of the body where stubborn fat likes to hide, offering a more toned and tight appearance without the downtime of traditional surgery.
IntraVita Fat Burner Injections
IntraVita Fat Burner Injections are in a different category in the battle against stubborn fat. The injections are packed with a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and fat-burning compounds that boost metabolism and increase the body’s ability to break down fat. Think of them as the nutritional support your body needs to kick its fat-burning capabilities into high gear. Suitable for those seeking a boost to their weight loss efforts, these injections can be a valuable ally in achieving a more sculpted physique.
Limits and Responsibilities
Before you embark on any treatment to conquer stubborn fat, please bear in mind that they are not one-size-fits-all solutions. Each body is a unique ecosystem, and what works wonders for one may not for another. Factors such as skin elasticity, overall health, medical history, and realistic expectations play significant roles in determining the effectiveness of these treatments.
These procedures are not shortcuts to weight loss or substitutes for a healthy lifestyle. They are designed to target specific areas of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise, not to serve as a primary method for significant weight loss. A balanced diet, regular physical activity, and a healthy lifestyle are part of the equation and should be maintained before, during, and after treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes.
