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

Body Contouring

Body contouring is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce fat in targeted areas. This method uses HIFU technology to deliver focused ultrasound energy to specific fat layers without surgical intervention. To enhance comfort, the treatment may incorporate Contact Cooling Control technology, which helps maintain a controlled skin temperature during the procedure. The ultrasound energy is directed into the fat layer, where it disrupts fat cells. As with all procedures, individual responses may vary, and a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is recommended to determine suitability.

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.

Contactless RF Body Contouring Treatment

A non-invasive approach to body contouring, this treatment uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target fat cells without direct contact with the skin. The procedure is designed to address fat reduction over larger areas while minimising discomfort and recovery time. By delivering controlled RF energy, the treatment helps break down fat cells in a uniform manner, without the need for surgery or downtime.

Targeted RF Body Sculpting Treatment

The use of monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy allows for controlled heating of fat cells, promoting gradual fat reduction while maintaining patient comfort. The treatment is designed to adjust to individual body shapes and fat distribution, offering a personalised approach to body contouring. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is recommended to determine suitability.

Body Contouring and Muscle Toning Treatment

This non-invasive body contouring and muscle toning treatment combines Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMS), Electromagnetic Stimulation (EMS), and Radiofrequency (RF) technology to enhance muscle definition and support fat reduction. Designed as a non-surgical option, it helps strengthen muscles and reshape the body without downtime.

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.
