Understanding stubborn fat

Some areas of fat are resistant to diet and exercise, often because of genetics and hormones. Common areas include the lower stomach, love handles, thighs and under the chin.

Non-surgical body treatments can help reduce the appearance of stubborn fat, tone muscle and firm the skin in these areas.

What causes stubborn fat?

Knowing the cause helps us choose the right treatment. Common causes include:

  • Genetics
  • Hormones
  • Age-related changes in metabolism
  • Pregnancy
