What is it?
Some areas of the body hold on, no matter how much you move, how clean you eat, or how consistently you try. This is a matter of your biology.
Stubborn fat refers to dense, metabolically resistant fat deposits that persist despite healthy lifestyle habits. These areas often show up in the lower abdomen, thighs, upper arms, or under the chin. Blood flow and hormonal shifts play a role - and in many cases - genetics determine their placement long before we try to change them.
At PNP, we approach stubborn fat by guiding you through evidence-based body contouring treatments designed to complement the body’s natural rhythms to work with your physiology to gently and gradually regain lost confidence, for stillness in your own skin.
Still Have Questions?
Will stubborn fat return after treatments?
When fat cells in treated areas are permanently reduced, new fat can still return if weight increases. Achieving your desired outcome, often requires several sessions, and patience is crucial.
Fat removal often helps with the appearance of cellulite or skin laxity, but it isn’t direct cure. Separate treatments may be needed to pin-point and address those concerns.
Will fat removal help with cellulite or loose skin?
Non-surgical fat reduction is about sculpting and shaping, not always your scale weight. Clients with the best results are already close to their target weight just with stubborn pockets of fat - that may only go with intense weight loss.
Isn't body contouring just a fancy term for weight loss?
The persistence of stubborn fat is annoying, resisting even your best efforts of diet and exercise. Both men and women have found added confidence in tightening up troubled areas that have made them self-conscious in the past.
If stubborn fat treatments don't affect the number on the scale, what's the point?
Results take time, and how fat responds to treatments depends on genetics, hormones, gender, and lifestyle. It doesn’t mean you’ll never gain fat again, but the added confidence can be well worth the effort.
