There are areas I’d like to refine or slim
Some areas don't always respond to healthy eating and exercise. We offer treatments that can help refine and contour stubborn pockets of fat.
Targeted treatments can help refine specific areas where diet and exercise don’t always make a difference
You might feel generally comfortable with your body, but notice certain areas that don’t respond in the way you’d like, even with a healthy lifestyle. These areas can be small and localised, but still affect how you feel in your clothes or about your shape.
What you might be noticing
- Small areas of stubborn fat that don’t shift easily
- A feeling that certain areas look out of proportion
- Areas that feel harder to tone despite exercise
- A desire for more definition in specific areas
- A general wish to feel more comfortable in your shape
Why this can happen
Fat distribution varies from person to person and depends on genetics, hormones, and lifestyle. Even with regular exercise and a balanced diet, certain areas can be more resistant to change. These are often the areas people notice most.
Targeted treatments can help refine these areas by focusing on localised fat, rather than overall weight.
WHAT CAN HELP
To reduce localised areas of fat
If you’re looking to refine a specific area, treatments that target localised fat can help improve contour and shape.
expert advice
Refinement starts with understanding the cause
Not every area that feels fuller or less defined is caused by excess fat, especially in terms of the face. Changes in skin, muscle, facial structure, or the ageing process can sometimes create a similar appearance. That’s why Jane doesn’t recommend Aqualyx automatically. She’ll first assess what’s contributing to your concern and only suggest fat-dissolving treatment if it’s likely to help.
For example, if you’re worried about a double chin, the cause might be a small pocket of localised fat, but it could also be related to your natural facial structure, skin laxity, changes in muscle tone, or a combination of factors. Treating the wrong thing is unlikely to give you the result you’re hoping for.
If Aqualyx is suitable, Jane will explain what it can realistically achieve. If she feels another treatment, or even no treatment at all, would be a better option, she’ll explain why and talk you through the alternatives.
HAVE A QUESTION?
qUICK ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
Is this a weight loss treatment?
No.
These treatments are designed to target small, localised areas of fat rather than support overall weight loss. They’re most suitable for refining specific areas rather than changing your overall size.
Where can this treatment be used?
Body contouring treatments can be used on areas such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, or other small areas where fat can be resistant to lifestyle changes.
Jane will assess whether the area you’re concerned about is suitable.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the area and your goals.
Most people require a course of treatments to see a noticeable change, and results develop gradually over time.
Are the results permanent?
The treated fat cells are reduced, but maintaining results depends on lifestyle.
A stable weight and healthy habits help maintain the outcome.

The treatments outlined here are often helpful, but they’re only a starting point. Jane may suggest different options or a staged approach to achieve the most natural and balanced result.
The aim is always to refine and support your natural shape, rather than create anything that feels overdone or out of proportion.
Not sure what’s possible?
That’s a surprisingly good place to start. A consultation gives you the opportunity to talk through your goals and understand what might realistically help.
