Some clients have small, stubborn pockets of fat. Often under the chin or in defined body areas. That don’t respond easily to diet and exercise. Targeted treatments can help refine these specific areas after a careful clinical assessment.
This is not a weight-loss treatment. Suitability is determined at consultation, where your Registered Nurse will discuss whether this is the right path for you.
A thorough consultation including medical history and goals.
Mapping of the treatment area and an agreed series schedule.
Careful, sequenced application performed in clinic.
Aftercare advice and follow-up planning.
Submental fat (the fullness under the chin) is one of the most common areas we treat with localised fat reduction. The approach is gradual. Typically a series of sessions. And results develop over weeks as your body processes the targeted fat.
It can be, depending on the cause and amount. Sometimes what looks like fullness under the jaw is actually about jaw line definition or skin laxity rather than fat. We assess all three at consultation and recommend the best combined approach for you.
Many clients notice a more defined jawline after submental fat reduction, especially when combined with strategies to support skin firmness. The full picture is discussed at consultation. We’d rather get this right than promise something specific.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure. Localised fat reduction at Plumerian is a non-surgical treatment approach that targets small, specific fat pockets gradually over a series of sessions. It is not a like-for-like alternative for larger surgical concerns.
The most common areas we treat are submental (under the chin) and localised facial concerns. We can discuss other small body areas at consultation, but this approach is best suited to smaller, defined fat pockets rather than larger areas.
Realistic expectations matter to us. Localised fat reduction can subtly refine your profile over time, but the change is gradual and depends on your starting point. We discuss what’s achievable for your face at your initial consultation.
No. This is a targeted treatment for small, localised fat pockets. It is not a substitute for diet, exercise, or weight management.
A series of 2-4 sessions spaced several weeks apart is typical, depending on the area and your individual response.
Mild swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising can be expected for 1-2 weeks. Most clients return to work the next day.
Gradual refinement appears over 4-8 weeks following each treatment as your body processes the targeted area.
Once the targeted fat cells are reduced they don’t typically return, though weight maintenance is important for ongoing results.
Some medical conditions, pregnancy, and certain weight ranges are not suitable. Your nurse will assess you fully at consultation.
Spread the cost of your treatment across TLC, Zip Pay, or Afterpay. Ask us about your options at consultation.
Book an assessment to discuss whether this targeted treatment is the right approach for you.
