If you are looking for solutions for fat reduction in Hertfordshire, the Harpenden Skin Clinic can help. We know that some pockets of stubborn fat can resist every effort at removal.
Sometimes, no matter how much exercise you do, unwanted fat can stick around in various areas, particularly the stomach, thighs, hips and upper arms.
A double chin can be another problem area. Even a healthy diet or weight loss often isn’t enough to make a difference in some areas of stubborn fat.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic, we offer non-surgical, non-invasive treatments for fat removal and fat reduction in Hertfordshire.
Our experienced practitioners are trained in effectively delivering fat-reduction treatments at our clinics in Hertfordshire. Get in touch with us to book an initial consultation, where a bespoke treatment plan will be created for you based on your individual needs, for optimal results.

A poor diet, comprising low-protein and high-carbohydrate, can cause weight gain and slow down a person’s metabolism, affecting their ability to burn fat. The stress hormone cortisol can also impact metabolism.
This can leave unwanted fat in areas like the stomach, chin (causing a double chin) and the inner knees. Sometimes even when we lose weight, unwanted fat can remain in these areas.
There are two types of fat. Visceral fat surrounds a person’s organs, while subcutaneous fat lies beneath the skin.
Health complications can arise from increases in visceral fat. However, most people choose to focus their attention on losing subcutaneous fat.
While improvements to a person’s diet and exercise regime should lead to a reduction in fat, other factors may contribute to its continuance. These include generic factors, smoking and poor sleep — and they may vary from person to person.
Surgical and cosmetic treatment can help to remove excess fat, particularly in places where it is hard to reduce through diet and exercise alone.
Liposuction surgery is one of the more popular treatments for targeting unwanted body fat. However, many people are discouraged by the amount of downtime, and the risks associated with surgery.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic, we frequently use non-surgical fat freezing, also known as cryotherapy treatment — and particularly the state-of-the-art CoolSculpting technology. CoolSculpting offers a non-invasive alternative to fat removal surgical treatment.
Body contouring can also help to create a slimmer silhouette. And skin tightening can reduce the appearance of a double chin.
Non-surgical fat reduction treatments depend on how much fat you wish to treat. It’s not a replacement for traditional weight loss methods and is aimed at reducing fat cells in a targeted area.
Cellulite reduction is different to fat removal – please see our non-invasive cellulite reduction treatments here.
You can also ask us about other procedures for treating unwanted fat, such as fat dissolving injections and skin tightening, at your consultation.
The CoolSculpting elite fat freezing treatment uses controlled cooling to target fat cells underneath the skin. Treated cells become frozen, and over time, are naturally processed and eliminated by the body.
Freezing temperatures only affect the targeted fat cells during the treatment, leaving the surrounding area of the skin damage-free. Patients may see reductions after as little as two treatments.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic, CoolSculpting Elite procedures are performed by qualified, trained and experienced members of our team. Before treatments commence, patients will undergo an in-depth consultation.
Our consultants will create a treatment plan, unique to the patient based on their individual goals, and will talk through the procedure in detail.

During your CoolSculpting fat-freezing procedure, a vacuum applicator is applied to the specified treatment area, drawing fatty tissue into the applicator cup.
Cooling is applied to the targeted treatment area, freezing the fat cells, while leaving the surrounding cells unaffected.
Once frozen, fat cells are destroyed and naturally processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. This results in slimmer body contours and there is minimal discomfort during the procedure.
CoolSculpting fat freezing is non-invasive and you may require more than one session for optimal results. Once fat cells are eliminated they are gone for good, so you usually do not need follow-up sessions to maintain results.
However, new fat cells can reappear and may require treatment in the future.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic, our experienced practitioners are trained in effectively delivering CoolSculpting treatments. Following an in-depth consultation, a bespoke treatment plan will be created for you based on your individual needs.
