Everyone’s body shape is unique, and most people have at least one area they would like to tone up a little more, whether it’s a double chin,the stomach, thighs, upper arms, or another area. Even if you’re in good shape and healthy, it can sometimes be challenging to get rid of certain areas of resistant excess fat. Madison, WI’s Radiance Skin Therapy & Laser Center offers treatments to target difficult areas of stubborn excess fat that don’t respond to diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle changes.
The best way to lose excess body fat is through a good diet and regular exercise. However, some stubborn areas may remain because they don’t respond to exercise. Excess body fat and cellulite contribute to a variety of cosmetic issues such as a body contour that some people may find unattractive. For most people who are trying to lose weight, it can be a challenge.

There are different types of fat in the body. Subcutaneous fat is the soft type that is found directly below the skin and is pinch able. This is the type that can be treated with cosmetic procedures. Visceral bodyfat is the type that is deep in the abdomen and cannot be seen on the outside.
Everyone has some excess fat and genetics determine how much you start with, along with how it’s distributed. Age, gender, and lifestyle also play a role in how fat accumulates. Some people tend to carry fat disproportionately and hold onto it in different areas. The waistline, thighs, flanks, stomach, and arms are common areas for people to carry excess fat.
Unfortunately, though it would be ideal, targeting fat loss to specific areas of the body through exercise isn’t possible.
People may wish to treat excess body fat to improve their appearance or boost self-esteem. Radiance Skin Therapy offers several treatments to reduce stubborn excess fat below the chin and other areas. KYBELLA® is an injectable treatment that minimizes stubborn fat in between the chin and neck area to reduce a double chin. Though this is an off-label use, the jowls – excess skin and fat deposits that droop below the jaw area - are another very popular area for KYBELLA® treatments at our practice. CoolSculpting® is another non-surgical treatment method that can target fat on several areas of the body. It works by causing fat cells on specific areas to freeze, then be broken down and metabolized by the body.
Our practice also treats many other conditions and cosmetic concerns to improve your overall appearance, including hyperhidrosis/excessive sweating, facial veins,cellulite, acne, pigmentation issues, and spider veins.
BOTOX®and dermal fillers are popular minimally invasive injectable treatments for wrinkles, Skin rejuvenation options such as AQUAGOLD® 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.
