Where you store excess fat depends on many factors. Men are more likely to carry excess fat in their abdomen, buttocks and chest creating an ‘apple’ shape appearance. Whereas women tend to carry fat in their breasts, abdomen, buttocks and thighs creating a ‘pear’ shape appearance. However, the back of the upper arms and under the chin are also common areas where excess fat can be stored especially as we age and skin laxity develops. Considering your targeted area(s), weight loss goals and overall health, our trained VitalLife doctors will help you determine which treatment method(s) will be best for you.

Targeted Therapy and Healthy Lifestyle

The VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center has solutions. We have successfully treated hundreds of patients with therapy that targets the area(s) you are concerned with. Procedures such as Vanquish and CoolSculpting plus X-wave has helped many of our patients achieve the body they want. All medical services are performed by fully qualified staff.

The success of targeted therapy to rid yourself of excess fat in specific areas also depends on how healthy your lifestyle is, both before and after you are treated. Healthy lifestyle recommendations include:

• Exercises that contain both aerobic and strength training components
• Stress management
• Good sleep hygiene practices so you can achieve between seven to nine hours of sleep per night
• Consuming a nutritious diet (limit the amount of sugar and processed foods) and monitoring the portions of food you eat
