Localised Fat & Body Contouring
What Is Localised Fat?
Localised fat refers to stubborn fat deposits that remain despite regular exercise and a balanced diet. Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms and lower back.

Unlike general weight gain, localised fat tends to be resistant to lifestyle changes and may affect body contour rather than overall weight.
These areas often require targeted treatment approaches.
Why Does Stubborn Fat Develop?
Several factors may contribute:

Even with healthy habits, some fat deposits remain resistant.
What Should Be Targeted?
Effective body contouring should focus on:
- Reducing fat cell volume
- Refining body contour
- Improving skin firmness
- Enhancing muscle definition where appropriate
Safe and controlled fat reduction is key to maintaining natural proportions.
