Excess Fat

in Pittsburgh, PA

What Is Excess Fat?

Excess fat accumulates in various body areas due to lifestyle, genetics, or aging, and may be resistant to diet and exercise. Commonly appearing on the abdomen, thighs, and arms, excess fat can affect body contour and self-confidence. Many individuals seek treatment options to achieve a more sculpted appearance. Hormonal shifts, especially with age, can also contribute to fat storage in specific areas, making it harder to reduce through traditional methods alone.

What Are the Causes of Excess Fat?

Genetics

Genetic predisposition affects fat distribution and storage.

Diet

High intake of processed foods and calories leads to fat gain.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Lack of physical activity results in fat accumulation.

Hormonal Changes

Age-related hormonal shifts impact metabolism, promoting fat storage.

Stress

Elevated cortisol levels encourage fat storage, particularly in the abdomen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes excess fat, and why is it resistant to diet and exercise?

Excess fat often results from genetics, hormonal changes, or stress, making certain areas resistant to traditional weight-loss methods.
Most treatments, such as TruSculpt iD and Emsculpt NEO, are noninvasive and involve minimal discomfort, typically described as warmth or muscle contractions.
The number of sessions depends on the treatment and individual goals, but many patients see noticeable changes after one to three sessions.
While effective, these treatments are best used as a complement to a healthy lifestyle and are not substitutes for a balanced diet and regular exercise. They can greatly enhance the results of workout programs.
Treatments like TruSculpt iD and Kybella provide permanent fat cell reduction, but maintaining results requires a healthy lifestyle to prevent new fat accumulation.
