Localized fat

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF THESE LOCALIZED FATS?

Over the course of its history, humans have gone through periods of great famine which led our bodies to store reserves in order to guarantee the survival of our species.

This predisposition is now stored in our genetic code. This survival reflex also still exists in our behavioral pattern in two forms. The first is in the form of carbohydrates which are used as soon as we consume energy and the second is in the form of lipids which are used only in case of extreme need.

These lipids form fat and are stored in the adipocytes in the form of fatty acids. Once grown, these adipocytes do not regenerate, so each time they are eliminated, the result is final. However, each of them can contain up to 50 times its volume.

WHERE ARE THESE LOCALIZED FATTY MASSES LOCATED?

People tend to store fat on the face, especially in the chin area, on the stomach, and on the thighs.

The thighs, stomach and buttocks are the preferred areas for fat accumulation, while the underarms are more likely to show a form of sagging skin.

HOW TO REDUCE FAT AND FIRM UP THE BODY?

Non-invasive medicine offers several approaches to treat these problems.
To induce lipid reduction, there are also several solutions:

  • Reduce caloric intake
  • Exercise
  • Boost your metabolism

On the other hand, to destroy fat cells, aesthetic medicine offers treatments that have been proven over the years and that allow us to say that once eliminated, the fat they are filled with will not return.

Skincare Agency offers a unique and comprehensive approach to treating localized fat problems, including personalized training plans, dietary rebalancing, and aesthetic treatment.

The process will begin with a precise diagnosis to determine the causes, the areas concerned and define the appropriate treatment. During an initial consultation, our morphology expert will perform a complete evaluation of your body’s structural composition and measure all your limbs using the InBody 770 technology, a clinical impedance meter.

The information collected will then allow us to determine the best procedure to implement to reduce fat but also to regularly measure the evolution of the results and if necessary to adjust the treatment. Before and after pictures will also allow you to see the improvements.

Then, in combination with dietary recommendations and advice on physical activity, aesthetic medicine techniques will help eradicate adipocytes. Fragile by nature, as soon as their outer membrane is attacked, they self-destruct.

Your metabolism will then evacuate the fat. This is done through the drainage of the lymph and through the stools. The effects of each session can be seen after a few weeks.

This destruction of the fat cells is carried out by a concentrated cold treatment, cryolipolysis, which destroys of 20% to 30% of the surplus after each session. It is particularly effective on the stomach area, the love handles, the inside of the arms, under the chin area, the inside of the thighs and near the buttocks to treat the saddlebags.

But to use Cryolipolysis, the morphologist will have to measure, with a caliper, the size of the fatty clusters in order to determine if the applicator can correctly take care of the bulge. If it is less than 50 mm, other treatments will have to be considered.

When the bulge is not sufficiently localized and diffuse fat is found, the thermolysis technique is recommended. This Accent Prime technique developed by the Alma laboratory, based on the use of radio frequency and ultrasound, will destroy the fat cells and firm the skin.

Moreover, the Accent prime by Alma treatment based on radiofrequency and ultrasound will also be offered to you after the cryolipolysis treatment. It will eliminate the fat treated by cold, firm the tissues and counterbalance any slight ptosis that may have set in.

Finally, our expert will recommend, alone or in addition to the first two methods, a mesotherapy procedure allowing the injection of active ingredients such as Ruscus, Centella Asiatica, Artichoke, caffeine, and L-Carnitine into the areas to be treated. These actives are particularly useful for attacking fat cells and significantly correcting the orange peel appearance in the case of cellulite or diffused fat.

Our dietician Yasin Tinoren will intervene if necessary to support you in setting up a dietary plan to support the care procedure and consolidate the results obtained. Through this diet, your body will no longer overstock lipids in the remaining adipocytes and will avoid the appearance of new fatty clusters.

In most cases, our advice will also be to have regular physical activity to boost your metabolism. To assist you in this process, Skincare Agency has set up a partnership with Best Training, a company based in Paris and specialized in personalized coaching. Led by former professional athletes, these sessions will allow you to benefit from a tailor-made program, adapted to your needs and abilities.
