Can facial fat be reduced without surgery?

Yes. Non-surgical treatments like JuvaSlim are designed to target and break down fat cells in specific areas, allowing the body to gradually process and remove them — without the need for incisions or downtime.

Is stubborn facial fat the same as puffiness or bloating?

Not quite. Puffiness can be related to water retention or inflammation, while stubborn fat involves actual fat cells that have built up in specific areas. The two may look similar but require different approaches to treat effectively.

Stubborn Fat and Fat Cell Resistance

Stubborn fat refers to localised pockets of fat that remain resistant to traditional weight management strategies such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and under the chin. While general fat loss can occur with lifestyle changes, these areas may not respond as readily due to unique biological and hormonal factors.

Fat cells, also known as adipocytes, vary in how they store and release energy. In stubborn fat regions, fat cells often have a higher density of alpha-2 receptors, which inhibit fat breakdown, and fewer beta-2 receptors, which promote it. This biological imbalance means that these areas are more likely to retain fat, even when overall body fat is decreasing.

These concerns are not a reflection of effort or discipline, but rather the result of how the body regulates fat storage. That’s why we offer comprehensive consultations to explore appropriate, evidence-informed approaches that align with each individual's body goals and physiology.
