How To Treat Stubborn Fat

How To Treat Stubborn Fat

Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat with truSculpt at Elysium Skin Centre

Stubborn fat is very real and behaves differently from other types of fat. It tends to receive less blood flow and is more resistant to metabolism, making it harder to shift even with a healthy lifestyle. This type of fat often accumulates just beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat), and is especially difficult to reduce compared to visceral fat found around internal organs.

For women, stubborn fat commonly collects around the hips, thighs, and buttocks; for men, it’s often around the abdomen and love handles. However, these areas can vary from person to person. The good news is that there are effective, non-surgical options to help you tackle these trouble spots—and truSculpt is one of the most advanced.

How truSculpt Works

truSculpt is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that targets stubborn fat using monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology. It gently heats fat cells below the skin, causing them to break down without damaging the surrounding tissue. Over time, your body naturally eliminates these disrupted fat cells, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.

There’s no surgery, no needles, and little to no downtime—you can resume normal activities almost immediately. The treatment is comfortable, safe for all skin types, and can be completed in as little as 15–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Unlike some other technologies, truSculpt not only reduces fat but also tightens the skin by stimulating collagen production, leaving treated areas firmer and more toned.

truSculpt vs. Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure requiring anaesthesia and downtime. It carries risks such as bruising, swelling, infection, and even nerve or muscle damage, with recovery periods lasting anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.

In contrast, truSculpt is completely non-invasive, meaning no surgery, no downtime, and no scarring. You can read, scroll, or even respond to emails during your session. Plus, it’s generally more cost-effective and safer than traditional surgical fat removal methods.

Who is truSculpt For?

truSculpt is ideal for individuals close to their ideal weight who are looking to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge with diet or exercise. It’s not a weight loss solution, but rather a body-sculpting treatment designed to refine and contour your silhouette.

Whether it’s the abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks, or under the chin, truSculpt can be customised to target your most resistant areas. Most people see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, with continued fat reduction over the following 6–12 weeks.
