Stubborn fat, while not technically a medical term, is exactly as its name implies – fat that’s difficult to lose. Stubborn fat tends to be that last bit of fat that seems impossible to shed – be it around your belly (muffin top), armpits or arms.
Note: Stubborn fat should not be confused with excess fat from being overweight or obese. The latter will firstly require a dedicated diet and exercise plan, and body contouring treatments in Singapore will be useful at a later stage should the patient wish to achieve enhanced results.
TightSculpt
TightSculpt uses a dual-wavelength, non-invasive laser to heat adipose tissue, stimulating collagen production and reducing fat. It is effective non-surgical fat removal for body sculpting, cellulite reduction, and skin tightening.
Liposonix
Liposonix employs high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to target and destroy fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. They are commonly used for reducing fat in the abdomen and flanks.
Vanquish ME
Vanquish ME uses radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells without direct contact with the skin. It is ideal for larger body areas like the abdomen and thighs.
ReBorn
ReBorn Body Contouring is a non-invasive fat reduction and body contouring treatment. It emits specific wavelengths of LED light that penetrate the skin and heat up fat cells. This heat causes the fat cells to break down, which are then naturally metabolised by the body.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits through suction, typically performed through small incisions. It is effective for larger volumes of fat and can be applied to various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from one body area through liposuction and transferring it to another site for augmentation. This invasive procedure is commonly used for enhancing body contours.
Removing stubborn body fat through non-surgical methods can be empowering, but understanding the financial investment is crucial.

Yes, non-invasive fat removal methods such as TightSculpt, Liposonix and Vanquish ME are available. They use laser, radiofrequency, or ultrasound technology to break down and get rid of fat cells without surgery.
Non-surgical fat belly removal treatment provides long-lasting results, but it’s crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent weight gain. While treated fat cells are typically eliminated from the body, new fat deposits can accumulate again if significant weight gain occurs. Consistent exercise and a balanced diet are key to maintaining the results.
Several non-surgical procedures effectively target belly fat. Common options include TightSculpt, Liposonix and Vanquish ME. These treatments use different technologies to break down and eliminate fat cells, resulting in a smoother and more contoured abdominal area.
When performed by trained and qualified professionals, non-surgical fat removal procedures are generally safe. Choosing reputable clinics with experienced practitioners who can assess your suitability for the procedure and ensure proper adherence to safety protocols is essential.
While non-surgical fat removal procedures are safe, some individuals may experience temporary side effects. These can include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the treatment site. These effects typically subside within a few days, and serious complications are rare.
Non-surgical fat removal procedures are designed to be relatively comfortable, with minimal pain. Most individuals report feeling warmth or mild tingling during the procedure. Any discomfort is usually well-tolerated and temporary. We offer numbing creams and cooling techniques to enhance the comfort of the treatment.
Subcutaneous fat is found just under our skin, and can be pinched with our fingers. Visceral fat lies deep in our abdomen, and surrounds our organs such as the stomach, intestines and liver. Simply put, if you can pinch the fat under your skin, that is likely subcutaneous fat.
