“Love handles” is a colloquial term used to describe excess fat that accumulates on the sides of the waist and hips. Love handles are more formally known as “flank fat” and are a common area of concern for people who are trying to manage their weight or improve their body composition. Love handles are associated with the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, which is fat stored just beneath the skin. They can develop due to a combination of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices.
The best treatment options
Emsculpt neo
Emsculpt neo: Advanced radiofrequency energy, heats up subcutaneous fat cells in less than 4 minutes upon application. When temperatures reach between 42-44°C, the fat cells are broken down and destroyed, before being naturally expelled from the body over 12 weeks.This process results in a 30% reduction in fat, with many patients reporting up to a 1.5-inch average loss in waistline measurements after 4 EMSculpt Neo treatments.
Laser treatment
The unique, super long Nd:YAG pulse mode is designed for homogenous tissue heating comfortably, safely and rapidly, by concentrating energy delivery to subcutaneously stimulate metabolism of fat cells, leaving the epidermis intact.
