Concern Introduction

Understanding Stubborn Fat

Some fat deposits are genetically programmed to stay, no matter how healthy your routine. They are most common on the abdomen, flanks, arms and inner thighs.

Targeted fat reduction removes these pockets without surgery, while you continue your normal day.

Common Causes

01
Genetics and hormones
02
Age and slower metabolism
03
Fat that does not respond to diet
