Lipotherapy
Reduction of small, resistant, localised fat deposits without surgery.

Certain fat deposits stored under the skin can prove to be stubborn and diet resistant. These tend to be more remote from the blood supply and circulation and are therefore impeded in the processes of metabolism which would normally enable the fat to be released into the bloodstream.

Although not overweight, we may have an excess of this resistant fat in certain areas of the body which can spoil our appearance and body shape.

Common areas of these stubborn fatty stores can be found on the lower parts of the tummy, love handles, hips and inner or outer thighs.

Also, as we age, the pattern of fat stored on our face shifts. High cheeks due to the fullness of the fatty layer under the skin reflect a younger, oval shaped face.

We lose fat from the upper cheeks as part of the aging process. The cheeks become more hollow and the fat deposits move to the jawline producing jowls.

Research and technology have now advanced to a stage where we can reduce localised pockets of subcutaneous fat on the face and body by using several non-surgical techniques in a minimally invasive way.

Some of these methods will also stimulate skin tightening through new collagen production - a combination of jowl reduction and skin tightening produces the best results and the most youthful appearance.
