Excess fat on your body is when you have stubborn fat on a specific part or your entire body. Excess fat is commonly linked to major physical threats and problems to your body and can lead to developing heart disease or diabetes. If you have a mild case of excess fat, you can easily lose it by regularly exercising or maintaining a balanced diet. For more severe and stubborn cases, you may need to see your doctor for proper treatment.
There are numerous reasons why you can develop excess fat. If you have a slow metabolism or are older in age, this can be a reason why you may have trouble losing excess fat.
Other common causes of excess fat include:
Anyone is at risk of gaining excess fat. Certain factors that increase this risk include:
Freezemax is a cutting-edge 360º body contouring treatment, allowing you to sculpt your body via fat freezing (known as cryolipolysis). It is a non-invasive technology that treats localised fat deposits and reduces the appearance of love handles, double chins and other stubborn fat in areas that make it difficult to lose even with a proper diet and regular exercise.
Legacy Sculpt is a safe body and face contouring treatment with no risk and no downtime. This treatment breaks down stubborn fat cells by heat. Your body will then eliminate the destroyed fat cells through its natural metabolism process. It is most commonly used to treat the abdominal area but it can also treat smaller and hard-to-reach areas such as your cheekbones and neck. Legacy Sculpt also stimulates collagen remodelling to help tighten and smoothen the treated areas.
OZ UltraSculpt is used to treat stubborn fat t remodel problem areas and help you achieve your desired body profile in a short amount of time. It uses electromagnetic waves to create muscle contractions in specific areas of your body and is more effective than strenuous physical activities or exercise. This helps to tone and slim your body.
OZ Ultrafit is a body contouring treatment that uses advanced electromagnetic technology to sculpt your body. It utilises non-thermal and non-radiation-based electromagnetic waves or High-Intensity Focus Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to create muscle contractions in targeted areas of your body. The HIFEM technology will trigger your muscle tissue to create new protein strands and muscle fibres, resulting in a toned and slim body.
Excess fat is commonly linked to weight gain. While the excess fat itself does not hurt, excess weight gain can put a strain on your joints and bones and lead to pain in your lower back due to the added pressure on your spine.
Factors that can contribute to gaining excess fat include a poor diet, pregnancy, not enough physical activity, not enough sleep, stress or it may even be due to a family history of excess fat.
Fat in the body is stored in different compartments of your body. The two main compartments are under your skin (subcutaneous) and around your internal organs (visceral / abdominal).
Excess fat will not necessarily make you fat. However, you do run the risk of becoming overweight if you continue to eat an unhealthy diet. A well-balanced diet with the right amount of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and calories can help with avoiding excess fat.
