Excess fat refers to localized pockets of subcutaneous fat that remain resistant to diet and exercise. Even when you are at a healthy weight, certain areas—such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, arms, or flanks—may hold onto stubborn fat that does not respond to lifestyle changes. At Radiance Skin Therapy & Laser Center, we offer non-surgical fat reduction treatments designed to contour and refine targeted areas of the body. These treatments are intended for body sculpting—not weight loss—and help permanently reduce treated fat cells for a more defined appearance. If you’re looking for non-surgical treatments for excess fat in Madison, our experienced team can create a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals. Our providers participate in ongoing advanced aesthetic training to remain current with 2026 advancements in body contouring technology and treatment safety standards.
Excess fat typically refers to subcutaneous fat—the soft, pinchable fat located just beneath the skin. This differs from visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs and cannot be treated with cosmetic procedures.
Stubborn fat is difficult to lose because:
You cannot “spot reduce” fat with workouts alone. That’s why many patients consider non-surgical fat reduction treatments to address specific problem areas. As of 2026, non-surgical body contouring remains one of the most requested aesthetic treatment categories nationwide, reflecting patient preference for minimally invasive solutions with little to no downtime.

No. Non-surgical fat reduction is not a weight loss solution.

Common treatment areas include:

Stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise can be reduced with non-surgical fat reduction treatments such as CoolSculpting® or KYBELLA®. These treatments target localized fat cells and permanently destroy them, helping refine body contours without surgery.
Yes. CoolSculpting® permanently destroys treated fat cells through controlled cooling. Once eliminated, those fat cells cannot regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if significant weight gain occurs.
Most patients require two to four treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal reduction of submental fat. The exact number depends on the amount of fat and desired contour.
When performed by experienced, medically trained providers such as our Radiance team, non-surgical fat reduction treatments are considered safe and FDA-cleared for specific uses. A consultation is necessary to evaluate candidacy and medical history.
Weight loss reduces overall body weight, including fat, muscle, and water. Non-surgical fat reduction treatments specifically target localized subcutaneous fat to contour certain areas of the body without affecting total body weight significantly.
Patients who are significantly overweight, pregnant, or seeking dramatic weight loss may not be ideal candidates. Those with certain medical conditions should discuss their history during consultation to determine safety.
Results from CoolSculpting® typically develop over one to three months as the body metabolizes treated fat cells. KYBELLA® results appear gradually after swelling resolves and fat cells break down.
Treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, untreated fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports long-term results.
Excess fat is not always just cosmetic. Hormones and metabolism play a major role in body composition, especially during perimenopause and midlife. Radiance Skin Therapy in Madison, WI, also offers medically guided treatments to support weight loss and perimenopause. These include GLP-1 therapy, hormone support, and regenerative solutions.
GLP-1 therapy helps regulate appetite and improve metabolic function. It is prescribed and monitored by medical professionals for qualified candidates. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause can cause increased abdominal fat, slowed metabolism, and changes in muscle tone. Hormone support may help restore balance and improve overall body composition.
Fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting® target localized fat pockets. GLP-1 therapy and hormone support address broader metabolic influences.
In addition to excess fat, our practice also treats many other conditions and cosmetic concerns to improve your overall appearance, including hyperhidrosis/excessive sweating, facial veins, cellulite, acne, and pigmentation issues.
BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers are popular minimally invasive injectable treatments for wrinkles, Skin rejuvenation options such as microchanneling and Genius®RF Microneedling enhance your skin’s appearance in other ways. We also offer treatments to improve skin laxity and enhance your body shape. Laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, microneedling, and microdermabrasion improve the skin’s tone and texture. Aside from reducing excess fat, there are also options for defining muscles. CoolTone™ tones and strengthens muscles on the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs to enhance their definition.
