What Is Stubborn Fat?
At Advanced Aesthetics, we understand that dealing with unwanted fat can be frustrating. Whether it's stubborn belly fat that refuses to budge or areas of fat accumulation that don't seem to respond to diet and exercise, we're here to offer insight, support, and cutting-edge solutions.
Unwanted fat accumulation can occur for various reasons, and it's often a combination of factors rather than a single cause. Understanding these causes can empower you to make informed choices about your body and the treatments available:
- Genetic factors: Like eye color and hair texture, our bodies' tendency to store fat in certain areas can be inherited. This means that despite your best efforts with diet and exercise, you might still find yourself dealing with stubborn fat due to your genetic makeup.
- Metabolic influences: Metabolism plays a crucial role in how our bodies process and store fat. Factors like age, hormonal changes, and certain health conditions can slow metabolism, making it easier for unwanted fat to accumulate.
- Lifestyle choices: Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress levels all contribute to our overall body composition. Imbalances in any of these areas can lead to the accumulation of unwanted fat.
Beyond the visible appearance of excess fat, symptoms can include difficulty fitting into clothing, decreased energy levels, and, in some cases, increased risk of health issues related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

EmSculpt Neo
EmSculpt Neo is a groundbreaking non-surgical treatment that combines radiofrequency and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to target and eliminate unwanted fat while simultaneously building muscle.
Ideal for addressing stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, EmSculpt Neo delivers powerful energy to break down fat cells and strengthen muscles.
Over time, your body naturally processes and eliminates these fat cells, resulting in a more toned and sculpted physique. With no downtime required, EmSculpt Neo offers a convenient and effective solution for reducing unwanted fat and enhancing muscle definition.
Kybella
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce fat under the chin, helping to diminish the appearance of a double chin. It works by using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. This minimally invasive treatment can significantly improve your profile and give you the confidence boost you deserve.
What Is the Treatment Time for Minimizing Unwanted Fat?
At Advanced Aesthetics, we're here to ensure that the journey is as smooth and effective as possible. A key part of that process is understanding the time commitment involved with our state-of-the-art treatments. Here’s what you can expect:
CoolSculpting Elite
At Advanced Aesthetics, we have the unique ability to “quadsculpt” — meaning we can treat up to four areas of the body at a time. That’s because our office has TWO available CoolSculpting Elite platforms.
To safely and effectively treat multiple body areas, an in-office CoolSculpting Elite procedure typically requires 45 – 60 minutes.
While some clients see results as soon as three weeks after their session, optimal results usually manifest within two to three months as the body naturally eliminates the frozen fat cells.
Depending on your goals and the areas being treated, you may benefit from multiple sessions scheduled several weeks apart.
Kybella
Each Kybella treatment session is relatively quick, lasting about 30 – 45 minutes. During this time, a series of small injections will be administered under the chin.
The number of treatments needed can vary based on the amount of fat and your desired results, with many clients experiencing visible improvements after two to four sessions. These sessions are typically spaced at least one month apart to allow for proper healing and assessment of results.
As the fat cells are destroyed, the results from Kybella are permanent, meaning those cells cannot accumulate fat anymore.
