As we age, our skin loses elasticity and begins to sag – but growing numbers of consumers are investing time and money in stopping skin ageing in its tracks.
Most people direct their attention to facial skin, but skin all over the body is subject to the same changes. At the same time, body fat increases from around the age of 30, and it becomes harder to shift with exercise.1 A prime location for stubborn pockets of fat to accumulate is the abdomen, and coupled with loose, sagging skin, the stomach is one area of the body that shows our true age.
Gone are the days when the only option for getting rid of stomach fat involved expensive surgery. Advances in technology make it possible for people to have a targeted treatment in less than an hour and experience little to no downtime.
Aesthetics spoke to four practitioners to find out their preferred method for treating stubborn fat on the stomach area, providing advice for best practice.
