Love Handles
About Love Handles
A 'fun' term used to describe the area of fatty tissue either side of the waist area on men and women. Sometimes described on women as a 'muffin top'.
Treatments for Love Handles
Absolute Aesthetics undertakes a wide range of treatment options for many different conditions. Our clinicians will advise on the treatment[s] that are most suited to you.
Endermology
Endermology is a non-invasive technique to reduce the appearance of cellulite and help to eliminate stubborn fat. Endermology uses rollers that feel like a deep massage over problem areas of the skin. The machine has a vacuum that creates a suction to immobilize and lift soft tissues with the rollers, massaging the tissues at the same time. The vacuum helps to pull the septas (fibrous bands of tissue that surround fat cells in the skin to keep them in place) back up, smoothing and evening the surface of the skin, helping to improve the appearance of the skin. Endermology also improves the circulation and lymphatic system.
Laser Lipolysis
Laser lipolysis is a walk-in walk-out fat removal treatment which is performed under local anaesthetic and excellent at treating stubborn areas of fat on the body. A very small laser fibre is inserted into the fat through a 1 to 2mm incision in the skin. Rapid movement of the laser fibre in and out of the fat effectively breaks it down and it is then removed (aspirated) from the area.
LipoSonix
The LipoSonix systems use High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to destroy fat cells in the body. Ultrasound is used because it can pass safely through the skin without damaging it, focusing on destroying the fat underlying the skin by dissolving it. Over 6 weeks to 3 months, the body naturally removes the dead fat cells, resulting in the fat layer shrinking and reducing the treated area.
VelaShape
VelaShape is a fast and safe way to improve the appearance of cellulite and reshape the body through circumferential reduction without resorting to surgery. VelaShape uses vacuum, heat and tissue manipulation to even out the skin, breaking apart the groups of fat cells and targeting the fat tissues. The thighs, buttocks, stomach and arms can be treated.
