About Stubborn Fat Pockets (Non-Surgical Fat Reduction)
Tackling Stubborn Fat Pockets
Many individuals struggle with localised pockets of fat that seem resistant to even dedicated diet and exercise routines. These stubborn areas, such as under the chin, on the abdomen, flanks ('love handles'), or thighs, can affect body contours and self-confidence. This resistance is often due to genetic predisposition or hormonal factors influencing where our bodies store fat.Non-Surgical Solutions for Body Contouring
Fortunately, surgical procedures like liposuction are no longer the only option. PRP London Clinic offers advanced, minimally invasive treatments specifically designed to target and eliminate these unwanted fat cells permanently. Our primary approach involves fat dissolving injections, such as Aqualyx, which work by breaking down the membranes of fat cells, allowing the body to naturally process and remove them.Targeted and Effective Fat Reduction
Fat dissolving injections offer a precise way to contour specific areas, achieving noticeable reduction in fat bulges without the need for general anaesthesia or significant downtime associated with surgery. The treatment involves injecting a specialised solution directly into the targeted fat pocket. Over the following weeks, the body gradually eliminates the treated fat cells, leading to a slimmer, more defined appearance in the treated area. For enhanced results, particularly where skin laxity is also a concern, we may recommend combining fat dissolving treatments with skin tightening procedures like Morpheus8 Body.What Our Patients Are Saying
