Overview
Localized slimming covers treatments aimed at reducing stubborn localized fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise, and at creating more balanced body contours.
Fat distribution in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, legs, arms and double chin varies from person to person depending on genetics, age, hormonal factors and lifestyle.
The goal of these treatments is not weight loss but, in suitable candidates, to target localized fat tissue and reduce accompanying skin laxity for a more balanced body contour.
Depending on individual needs, the treatment plan may include enzymatic lipolysis (body-contouring mesotherapy) and gold needle (microneedling radiofrequency).
Does Localized Slimming Cause Weight Loss?
No. Localized slimming is not a weight-loss or obesity treatment.
The aim is not to significantly reduce the number on the scale but to help refine body contours by targeting localized fat in specific areas.
For people with general excess weight, healthy nutrition, physical activity and, where necessary, medical evaluation for weight management should come first.
