Stomach Fat

"Wave goodbye to belly fat with a care plan written just for you."

Are you finding it challenging to manage or reduce stomach fat despite a healthy lifestyle? Stomach fat, often seen as a common concern among many, can be stubborn and resistant to general diet and exercise routines.

At NU.U Clinic, we recognise the uniqueness of each individual’s body and the complexities involved in managing stomach fat. We are dedicated to providing personalised treatment plans and tailored care to help you achieve your wellness goals.

Stomach fat refers to the accumulation of adipose tissue (fat) in the abdominal area. It’s important to note that there are two main types of stomach fat: subcutaneous fat, which lies just under the skin, and visceral fat, which surrounds the internal organs. While a certain amount of fat is necessary for bodily functions, excessive stomach fat, especially visceral fat, can be associated with various health risks.

Causes of Stomach Fat

Understanding the root causes of stomach fat is crucial in developing an effective management strategy. Various factors contribute to the accumulation of fat in the stomach area, each requiring a specific approach for effective management.

Poor Diet

A diet high in calories, processed foods, and sugary beverages can lead to weight gain and an increase in stomach fat. Consuming more calories than the body can burn results in the storage of excess energy as fat, often in the abdominal area.

Lack of Physical Activity

Physical inactivity is a significant contributor to weight gain and the accumulation of stomach fat. Regular exercise helps burn calories and fat, including visceral fat, which is more metabolically active and easier to lose with physical activity.

Genetics

Genetic factors can influence where your body stores fat. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to store more fat in the abdominal area, making it a more challenging area from which to lose fat.

Stress

When stressed, the body releases cortisol, a hormone that can lead to weight gain, particularly in the stomach area. Cortisol can increase appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods, contributing to an increase in belly fat.

Sleep

Both too little and too much sleep can contribute to weight gain and the accumulation of stomach fat. Quality sleep is essential for regulating metabolism and appetite-controlling hormones. Disrupted sleep patterns can interfere with these processes, leading to increased fat storage.

Treatments for Stomach Fat

Scizer

Scizer is a modern and non-invasive method focused on reducing unwanted fat and contouring the body. It harnesses the latest in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) technology to precisely target and eliminate fat cells in certain body parts without surgical intervention. The inclusion of Contact Cooling Control technology is key, providing a cooling effect on the skin to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. This allows the device to deliver high-energy ultrasound waves directly into the fat layer, effectively breaking down fat cells while keeping the patient comfortable.

Ultraformer MPT

Ultraformer MPT is an aesthetic treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). This technology specifically targets areas of the skin with ultrasound energy at various depths to stimulate collagen production. This process helps in achieving a lifting and rejuvenating effect on the skin without needing surgical methods. The key feature of Ultraformer MPT is its MicroPulsed Transducer (MPT) technology, which delivers highly precise, micro-pulsed ultrasound waves. This allows for treatments to be customised according to individual skin types and concerns.

Vanquish ME

Vanquish ME is a contactless body shaping technology designed to address fat reduction across large areas of the body efficiently. Distinguished by its non-invasive approach, this device offers a seamless treatment experience, enabling individuals to undergo sessions without the need for direct physical contact with the machinery. It is renowned for its ability to deliver a more uniform body shaping effect, making it a preferred choice for those seeking aesthetic improvement without the downtime associated with surgical procedures.

TruSculpt ID

TruSculpt iD is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment developed by Cutera. It uses Monopolar RF (Radio Frequency) technology to safely and comfortably reduce body fat. This treatment is tailored to individual requirements and body shapes, offering a personalised approach to body contouring. The device is equipped with six handpieces, each measuring 40 square cm, that can be used simultaneously to target different areas of the body, such as the abdomen and flanks. This allows for a quick and efficient treatment, covering a significant area within 15 minutes. On average, patients experience a 24% reduction in fat in the treated areas.

Wonder Axon Body

Wonder Axon Body is a body contouring and muscle toning treatment developed using Spanish technology. This non-invasive option is ideal for those seeking to improve body tone, muscle definition, and target fat in specific areas. By combining Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMS), Electromagnetic Stimulation (EMS), and Radiofrequency (RF) technology, Wonder Axon Body enhances muscle strength and reshapes the body without invasive procedures.

Conclusion

Stomach fat, often a source of frustration for many, can be stubborn and challenging to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Factors contributing to its accumulation include genetics, lifestyle choices, diet, and levels of physical activity, among others. Understanding the nature of stomach fat and the underlying causes of its persistence is crucial in addressing it effectively. With advancements in technology, there are now several non-invasive treatments available that target and reduce stomach fat without the need for surgery. These treatments offer a way to address stomach fat by directly targeting fat cells, reducing their number, and potentially improving the body’s contour.
