Stubborn Fat Consultation
Our stubborn fat treatments offer a non-surgical option to target small, localised pockets of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. They are designed for contouring specific areas — such as the chin, abdomen, flanks and thighs — rather than as a method of weight loss.
How it works
The treatment is injected directly into the targeted pocket of fat, where it works to break down the fat cells in that area. The released contents are then gradually processed and cleared by the body’s natural systems over the following weeks.
What it can help with
Fullness under the chin
Small, stubborn pockets on the abdomen
The flanks (“love handles”)
Localised areas on the thighs
Defined contouring of specific areas
What to expect
A consultation is essential to confirm the treatment is suitable for you and the area concerned. Treatment is usually given as a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with the number tailored to the area and your goals.
Results & longevity
Results develop gradually over the weeks following each session as the body clears the treated area. More than one session is usually required, and results in the treated area can be long-lasting when a stable weight is maintained.
Downtime & aftercare
Swelling, tenderness and bruising are common for around three to ten days, and swelling can be more noticeable in areas such as under the chin. We will provide full aftercare advice.
Is it right for me?
These treatments suit healthy adults who are close to their ideal weight and want to contour specific areas of stubborn fat, rather than lose weight. They are carried out only following a full consultation, and are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a weight-loss treatment?
No. It is designed to contour small, localised pockets of stubborn fat, not to reduce overall body weight.
How many sessions will I need?
More than one session is usually required; the exact number is tailored to the area and discussed at consultation.
Is the swelling afterwards normal?
Yes — some swelling, tenderness and bruising is expected for several days and settles as the area recovers.
