As we age, fat increases in the abdomen (and other parts of the body), although genetically determined that some people will have excess weight. For many people, belly fat is the most difficult to lose, and too much belly fat also affects physical health. Some of the fat is under the skin, and some is around or inside the organs, which is called visceral fat. All of this “belly fat” has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and even certain high-risk cancers.

Fat accumulation is a complex phenomenon. While most people blame it on “poor eating habits,” modern medicine has found many of the brain circuits that drive hunger and satiety, so the focus of weight management has shifted to drugs that can control satiety.

At Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic, we offer non-surgical treatments that reduce stomach fat. We can also combine treatments to keep results longer, while smoothing your skin.
