Localized Fat

There is that little bit of fat that will not go away even with diet and training — the love handle, the double chin, the stubborn belly. It has an explanation, and it can be reduced.

The concern

Understand what is behind it

Few things are as frustrating as dedicating yourself to diet and exercise and seeing almost everything change — except that one specific spot. The love handle on the flank, the lower belly, the saddlebags, the double chin. You do your part, but that fat seems to have a life of its own and simply will not go.

It is not your imagination. Certain regions of the body concentrate receptors that make fat harder to mobilize, making those deposits particularly resistant to diet and exercise. This is why localized fat is a different problem from being overweight: it can persist even in someone already at their desired weight, and it affects the body's proportion and self-confidence.

Understanding this changes the approach. It is not about eating even less or training twice as hard — it is about stimulating, with technology, the elimination of that specific fat that traditional methods cannot reach.

What we offer

The most modern and effective options

At Instituto Splendore, localized fat can be tackled through different mechanisms, chosen according to the region and thickness. Cryolipolysis cools the adipocytes until programmed cell death, with natural elimination by the body; Lipo Cavitation uses ultrasound to emulsify the fat; Enzymatic Lipo applies injectables that help break down the fat in specific spots; and EMSculpt, through high-intensity electromagnetic field (HIFEM), triggers supramaximal contractions that stimulate lipolysis while strengthening the muscles.

Which to use — or how to combine them — depends on the amount of fat, the area and your goal. This decision is exclusive and personalized, made during the assessment consultation with Dr. Chris Marchetti. One honest caveat: these treatments reduce localized fat and refine the contour, but they do not replace weight loss — maintaining the result depends on healthy habits.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Localized Fat

Does the eliminated fat come back?
The fat cells eliminated by cryolipolysis do not return. But the remaining cells can grow in volume with weight gain, so maintaining the result depends on healthy habits.
Cryolipolysis or enzymes: which is better?
It depends on the case. Cryolipolysis is ideal for larger volumes of fat and broader areas; enzymatic lipo acts on smaller, specific spots. The assessment defines the best choice or combination.
Are these treatments meant for weight loss?
No. They treat localized fat and refine the contour, but they do not replace weight loss. To lose weight, you need to combine dietary re-education and physical activity.
Does cryolipolysis hurt?
In the first few minutes there is a sensation of intense cold and suction, which eases as the area is numbed by the cold itself. Afterwards, redness, mild swelling and temporary numbness are common.
When will I see the results?
The first changes appear within a few weeks, with the full result consolidating between 2 and 3 months, as the body eliminates the treated fat.
