How do treatments for stubborn fat work?
There are various methods used to reduce stubborn fat pockets. However, most clinical options work by breaking down fat cells. This can be accomplished by exposing cells to extremes of temperature (hot or cold), or introducing substances that interrupt the fat cell membrane.
Once broken down, fat cell remnants are then slowly metabolised through natural processes, which reduces the appearance of fullness in the treated area.
Where can treatments for stubborn fat pockets be used?
Treatments for stubborn pockets of fat can be used in most areas of the lower face, neck, and body. Subject to a consultation, we may be able to assist with:
The fat located under your chin, also known as double chin fat.
You can treat the fat along the front and back of the bra line, adjacent to your armpits.
The fat that sags below the jawline as you age is know as a jowl.
Am I suitable for treatments to reduce stubborn fat pockets?
Most people have small pockets of fat they don’t like, but this doesn’t always mean that treatments to reduce fat are appropriate.
Suitable candidates typically are over 18, in good health, with realistic expectations, and who have small, stubborn pockets of fat that they want to reduce.
Are treatments to reduce stubborn fat pockets safe?
There are various methods we can use to reduce small, stubborn fat pockets. Different techniques have their own set of risks, which are important to be aware of when choosing whether to proceed with treatment.
Some risks that treatments to reduce stubborn fat may have include localised redness and swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness.
Rare risks include skin infections, and methods that work by cooling fat cells can also cause the treated area to increase in size (known as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia).

Weight gain and genetics are the usual causes of stubborn fat pockets.
Genetics factors are why you can be normal or under weight, and still have areas of fullness.
Some medications and medical conditions can also predispose you to developing fat deposits.
Targeted fat reduction is a non-surgical approach designed to address small, localised fat pockets—usually no larger than the size of a credit card. It is not intended for weight loss or large-volume reduction.
It is typically suitable for people who are healthy, close to their ideal weight, and have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Your suitability can only be determined during a personalised consultation.
Common treatment areas include the under-chin, jawline, bra line, and small pockets on the abdomen or flanks. Not all areas are suitable, so an assessment with a clinician is essential.
Diet and exercise play an important role in overall health, weight management, and body composition. However, some small, localised fat deposits may persist despite healthy lifestyle habits. These areas can be influenced by genetics, hormones, or natural fat distribution patterns, making them more resistant to change.
For people who maintain a stable weight but still notice pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise, a consultation can help explore whether targeted, non-surgical options are suitable.
Various methods are used depending on the area of concern, and the assessment during your consultation.
The procedure is usually straightforward and performed in a clinic setting, but timing varies depending on the size and number of areas treated.
Most people tolerate the treatment well. A numbing solution is typically used to increase comfort during the procedure.
Improvements usually appear gradually over several weeks as the treated fat is processed naturally by the body. Depending on the amount of fat, multiple sessions may be required.
The number of sessions required depends on the amount of fat, the results you are hoping to see, and your individual response to treatment. Most cases require anywhere from 2-4 sessions.
Once treated fat cells are processed by the body, they do not return. However, future weight gain may still affect the overall area by causing fat cells to increase in size.
Fat reduction treatments are not a treatment for cellulite.
You’ll be provided with preparation advice during your consultation. Generally, you may be asked to avoid alcohol, certain supplements, and strenuous activity immediately before treatment.
- Apply a wrapped cold pack gently and intermittently to ease swelling and tenderness.
- Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area.
- Refrain from vigorous exercise, alcohol, or smoking for the first 24 hours.
Most people can continue with their normal routine following treatment, but you should follow the individual advice provided by your clinician.
When performed by trained medical professionals, targeted fat reduction is low-risk. However as with all medical treatments, there are potential side effects. A full medical assessment is always carried out before treatment.
Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, numbness, or firmness in the treated area are common. These generally resolve within a few days to weeks.
Rare risks vary depending on technique, but may include infection and skin irritation.
