Stubborn Fat & Body Shaping
“No matter how much I diet or walk, certain bulges simply refuse to move”
Localised fat pockets are common, even in otherwise healthy people. With targeted body contouring, we focus on shape and comfort, not chasing unrealistic scales.
Common Signs
Understanding Why
What it is
Stubborn fat refers to local pockets that resist reasonable food and movement changes. Hormones, genetics and fat-cell distribution decide where your body stores and holds onto this volume.
Common Triggers
- Genetic pattern of storing fat on tummy or hips
- Post-pregnancy changes in fat and skin distribution
- Sedentary routines with long sitting hours
- Hormonal shifts around PCOS, menopause or ageing
- Previous crash diets slowing metabolism over time
How we treat it
We assess overall health, weight and expectations, then plan device-based contouring, lifestyle support and, when needed, combined treatments that prioritise safety and realistic reshaping.
Your Journey
We record measurements, photos and medical history, align on realistic goals and explain suitable devices, expected sessions, downtime and what body contouring can and cannot do.
Contouring sessions are performed at intervals, each focused on specific zones. You may notice early changes in how clothes sit even before big visual differences appear.
Over weeks to months, treated areas usually appear smoother and slightly slimmer. We combine this with practical nutrition and movement guidance, not unsustainable regimes.
We review results periodically, reinforce lifestyle routines and schedule occasional top-up sessions if needed, especially around major life changes or weight fluctuations.
Self-Care Tips
Aim for gradual, sustainable weight changes, not extremes
Include strength training to support shape and metabolism
Stay hydrated before and after body treatments
Wear comfortable clothing that does not dig into skin
Share realistic goals; avoid comparing with filtered images

Active treatment
Contouring sessions are performed at intervals, each focused on specific zones. You may notice early changes in how clothes sit even before big visual differences appear.
Shaping phase
Over weeks to months, treated areas usually appear smoother and slightly slimmer. We combine this with practical nutrition and movement guidance, not unsustainable regimes.
Maintenance
We review results periodically, reinforce lifestyle routines and schedule occasional top-up sessions if needed, especially around major life changes or weight fluctuations.

FAQs
Is body contouring a substitute for weight loss?
No. It targets shape and specific bulges, not overall weight. Best results come when you are near a stable, healthy weight and maintain balanced lifestyle habits.
Will stubborn fat return after treatments?
Treated fat cells usually do not return, but remaining cells can expand if weight increases. Steady habits help keep new contours more consistent over time.
Is body contouring painful or requires long leave?
Most treatments cause temporary discomfort, warmth or soreness rather than severe pain. Downtime is usually short; many people return to regular routine within a day or two.
Are these procedures safe for everyone?
We screen for medical conditions, medicines and previous surgeries. Certain health issues may limit specific devices, in which case we suggest safer alternatives or defer treatment.
