Stubborn body fat is the term used to describe fat that is difficult to lose through diet and exercise alone. This type of fat is often found in specific areas of the body such as the belly, hips, thighs, upper arms, and back, and can be resistant to weight loss efforts. There are a number of factors that can contribute to the presence of stubborn body fat. Genetics, hormones, and lifestyle are just a few examples. Some people may be genetically predisposed to store more fat in certain areas, while others may have hormonal imbalances that make it harder for them to lose weight. Additionally, a sedentary lifestyle and an unhealthy diet can also contribute to the accumulation of stubborn body fat. Stubborn body fat, also known as "problem areas" can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. There are several modern treatments that can help to reduce stubborn body fat, including:
Non-surgical fat reduction: Non-surgical fat reduction treatments such as CoolSculpting and SculpSure use controlled cooling or heat energy to target and destroy fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treatment area.
Liposuction: Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a hollow stainless steel tube called a cannula, to suction out excess fat from the body.
Lipolysis Injection: Lipolysis injection is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a solution into the fat tissue to dissolve the fat cells.
Mesotherapy: It is a non-surgical procedure that involves the injection of a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes into the area of fat. It aims to break down fat cells and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound): this non-surgical treatment uses ultrasound energy to target and destroy fat cells in the body, resulting in a reduction of fat in the treatment area.
