A new treatment to our delectable cosmetic menu, Stubborn Fat Treatment is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction to remove localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
The main ingredient in Stubborn Fat Treatment is phosphatidylcholine (PPC) PPC is a natural product found in our body and its main role is to emulsify and breakdown fat and cholesterol which is then removed by the liver, kidneys and bowels. The PPC that is used is derived from soybeans. It has been used for reducing fat deposits for about 10 years. In the medical setting, it is used to dissolve cholesterol plaques in heart disease and to dissolve fat embolism.
Stubborn Fat Treatment is absolutely incredible for reducing fat and cellulite. The treatment consists of a series of strategically placed injections to break down the fat cells which the body then absorbs and excretes.

- Jawline Shaping
- Double Chin Reduction
- Love Handles
- Buttocks
- Arms
- Cellulite
- Body Contouring
- Abominable Bulges
- Back Fat

What is Stubborn Fat Treatment?
What happens to the treated areas after Stubborn Fat Treatment?
The skin over the treated areas tightens after the fat has been removed (variable – providing there is no excess loose skin) and the appearance of cellulite improves. The fat cells are permanently removed and the results can be maintained for 2 years after treatment if the client maintains their ideal body weight. In a small percentage (5%) of patients, there is very little result from Stubborn Fat Treatment treatment
Results are seen gradually over the next 3 – 4 weeks post treatment and maximum effect can take up to 12 weeks. The treated area(s) will look smaller, with less fat build-up. The treatment uses a special formula to break down fat cells in the treated area(s), and your body works to flush out the liquefied fat itself; therefore, depending on your own physiology, the process may take a short while, or a longer period of time.
