Stubborn Fat
This stubborn fat is usually the fat just under our skin that you can pinch, the subcutaneous fat, as opposed to the visceral fat that attaches to internal organs like your liver and pancreas. Stubborn fat is incredibly frustrating especially when you eat healthily and exercise regularly, but can’t seem to shift it.

Treatments
CoolSculpting: A non-invasive type of liposuction procedure that reduces or eliminates excess fat pockets by freezing the cells. During the procedure, non-invasive cool temperatures freeze fat cells in target areas, which the body then naturally removes. During a CoolSculpting procedure, paddles are applied to the area of treatment, which cool tissues to 4 degrees. In the weeks following your treatment, fat cells in the treated area will die off.
