Stubborn Fat

Areas that do not shift – even when you’re doing all the right things.
Targeted treatment for localised pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Introducing stubborn fat

Stubborn fat is exactly what it sounds like – localised areas that remain despite healthy habits, weight stability, or regular exercise.

For some people, this may be under the chin, around the abdomen, upper arms, flanks, thighs, or another area that simply does not respond in proportion to the rest of the body.

This can be frustrating, particularly when the issue is not overall weight, but shape or contour.

That is an important distinction, because treatments for stubborn fat are not weight-loss treatments. They are designed to target specific pockets of fat and improve definition in carefully selected areas.

At Rediscovered Skin Clinic, we assess whether targeted fat-reduction treatment is appropriate, what kind of result is realistic, and whether a course of treatment is likely to make a worthwhile difference.

What are the causes?

Targeted treatments that protect and preserve your natural beauty.

Genetic fat distribution

Where your body stores fat is strongly influenced by genetics, which is why some areas remain resistant regardless of lifestyle.

Hormonal influence

Hormonal changes can affect how and where fat is stored, particularly around the lower face, abdomen, hips, or thighs.

Lifestyle-resistant localised fat

Even with good nutrition and exercise, some fat deposits are simply more resistant and do not reduce evenly with overall weight loss.

Results develop gradually as the body processes the treated fat. This usually takes a number of weeks rather than days.

The treated fat cells are reduced, but maintaining results still depends on overall lifestyle and weight stability.

No. Suitability depends on the amount of fat present, the area itself, and whether the treatment is likely to give a meaningful improvement.
