The best treatments for Local Fat Reduction
The Lipo 3Max Plus Medical Device is a medical RF Radiofrequency device and is the most effective device worldwide for combating local fat, with the triptych of Cavitation, Multipolar RF and Deep - Tissue Massage treatments. These three treatments are carried out in the same session, with the three different headpieces of the device.
Lipo 3Max PLus is a non-invasive treatment that combines ultrasound technology (Cavitation) and radiofrequency energy (Multipolar RF), together with Deep - Tissue massage to break down local fat.
It is a safe, 100% natural treatment, with absolutely no recovery time, after which you can return immediately to your activities. The treatment works by heating the underlying layers of the skin, which helps to thermally break down (melt) the fat cells, while at the same time is triggering collagen fibers to contract, which leads to increased collagen production and consequently tightening and toning of loose skin.
This automatically leads to a reduction in local fat and an improvement in skin texture. Everyone who tries this treatment sees results, even after only 3-4 treatments, but a number of sessions are usually recommended for best results, usually 6 - 12 sessions, with a frequency of 1 - 2 sessions per week, depending on the intensity of the problem.
The method is extremely simple and focuses on decongesting the lymphatic system and breaking down swollen fat cells. From the headpieces that come into contact with the skin, energy is transferred to the subcutaneous fat, causing intense mobilization and thermal dissolution of the adipose tissue. While at the same time simultaneous mobilization of the lymphatic system, cellular stimulation and tissue drainage of body toxins is achieved. In addition, the multipolar radiofrequencies of the device target the fibroblasts, which stimulate the production of fresh collagen and elastin, thus increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin and leading to its tightening.
The most common application of Lipo 3MAX Plus treatment is on the thighs and buttocks, but this protocol can also be applied to the abdomen, flanks, arms and above the knees area with excellent results. Each session can last from 20 to 60 minutes and Lipo 3MAX Plus can be wonderfully combined in the same session with Body Mesotherapy or Injection Lipolysis, for even better results.
Loose centimetres of Fat, wherever is needed!
Injection Lipolysis is an injectable treatment used to reduce Local Fat, which may be present even if you have a normal weight or an athletic body. The procedure involves the use of injections, which contain ingredients that dissolve fatty tissue. The most common ingredients used in Lipolysis are phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, which were created by scientists based on the same substances that the human body secretes to break down dietary fat. The substances that mimic the body's natural function of burning fat, dissolving fat cells and encouraging the body to eliminate fat through metabolism, diuresis and lymph.
The approved lipolytic preparations used in our Clinics are the following: Aqualyx, PB Serums και Desobody.
Body Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves injecting a combination of fat-dissolving ingredients, firming ingredients, diuretics, anti-inflammatory substances, vitamins and amino acids directly into the fat. The goal of Injectable Mesotherapy is to transfer specific ingredients into the subcutaneous fat, in order to act locally at the heart of the problem. The materials used in Injectable Body Mesotherapyare actually a custom made cocktail of ingredients that are unique (eg carnitine, caffeine, DMAE, etc.) and which is selected individually for each person.
Injections are usually done in multiple areas and small amounts, just under the skin and this mixture of ingredients helps break down fat cells, improve circulation and tighten the treatment areas.
What is Local Fat?
Local Fat is a persistent and annoying reality for many men and women, as it spoils the harmonious proportions of their body. It does not only occur in overweight people, but also in thin or even fit people. It is fat that accumulates in certain areas, when there is a greater number of fat cells in them than usual and unfortunately these fat cells can increase their volume up to 60 times.
Unfortunately, neither diet, nor exercise are capable of dealing with local fat, which persists despite your efforts. Statistics prove that local fat is one of the five most important aesthetic issues that concern both men and women and can significantly affect our self-confidence.
Where does Local Fat appear?
- Upper Arms
- Double Chin
- Fat on the Cheeks
- Gynecomastia in men
- Fat on the back and Bra Fat
- Belly
- Lower Limb
- Waist Sides (Flanks)
- Buttocks and Banana Rolls
- Inner and Outer thighs
Body Types depending on Fat Deposition
Body type reflects the shape of our body and is determined mainly by genetic factors and heredity. Body type differs between people and provides important information about their health. Experts have defined various body types, but the two main ones are "apple" and "pear".
A study of the body types of 6,000 women, conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina in 2005, found that approximately 46% were banana body types, 20% pear body types, 14% apple body types, and 8% hourglass body types.
In the "apple" type, fat accumulates in the central part of the body, mainly in and around the abdomen, while the arms, legs, buttocks and back are thinner. This body type is more common in men than women. This obesity is characterized as central type, because fat is mainly concentrated in the abdomen and is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
In the "pear" type, fat accumulates below the waist, mainly in the hips, thighs and buttocks. It is the classic body type of Mediterranean women, where the circumference of the thighs is greater than the circumference of the chest. It is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes and high blood pressure. What you need to do if you have this body type, along with a proper and balanced diet, is to increase physical exercise and especially walking, so as to get rid of the stubborn fat!
The "hourglass" body type is characterized by a thin waist and rich curves in the breasts and buttocks, deceiving the eye as if it is an hourglass shape. This type is particularly attractive to men and that is why many women have breast augmentation and buttock augmentation to obtain this body. Excess fat in these women tends to accumulate on the buttocks, back of the thighs and breasts. This body type can usually gain or lose weight easily.
The "banana" body type shows thin ends and both the waist, as well as the chest and thighs are almost the same circumference, creating the appearance of a "tube". In this body type, the arms and legs are thin and long, but not toned, the torso is small, the shoulders are thin and the buttocks are small and flat. It is a shape that does not have any curves. People with this body type are at risk of gaining weight easily.
The Fat Cells and their role in Local Obesity
Fat Cells are the cells of adipose tissue and play a key role in the body and its function. Fat cells synthesize, store and release fat, depending on the energy needs of each body.
Fat cells begin to develop in the body from the fetal age and increase in number gradually, during childhood and adolescence. Their number approaches a total of 20 - 25 million at the beginning of adult life and this number remains constant throughout our adult life.
In addition to their function of storing fat and releasing energy, fat cells also play an important role in protecting our body. Thus they ensure protection to muscles and bones from injuries, acting as a natural anti-vibration layer. In addition, they act as "insulation" of the body, helping to maintain the body's temperature and proper thermal regulation.
However, when calorie intake exceeds the body's energy needs, fat cells increase in size, up to 60 times and this causes body fat to increase. This leads to health problems such as obesity, which is associated with an increased risk of various diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
Factors that have a decisive role in the Deposition of Local Fat
What should I do to maintain the effect of my treatments?
Due to the tendency of Fat to accumulate in specific areas of the body, maintaining the results of Fat Loss can be challenging for some people. However, following some tips can help enhance and maintain the effects of your treatments.
Water Consumption: It is absolutely necessary to drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day, as it help us to better eliminate body toxins. On the contrary, we must avoid the frequent consumption of alcohol, which causes retention and slowing down of the metabolism.
Balanced Diet: It would be good to follow a specific diet, so that the number of calories that we take in is not exceeded and they are also distributed correctly throughout the day. We should avoid fast food and fried foods as much as possible and enrich our diet with fruits and vegetables.
Daily Exercise: Of course, daily exercise should be added to burning fat, even with half an hour of walking every day. People with a greater obesity problem, should definitely adhere to a stricter program, with the help of personal trainers.
Good Sleep: The quantity and quality of sleep are directly related to cortisol levels. Studies have shown that those who sleep only 4-5 hours at night have cortisol levels 37% higher than those who sleep for a full 8 hours. Cortisol, in turn, is responsible for increasing body weight, especially for the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area, as visceral fat.
Reducing Stress: Stress can contribute to an increase of local fat, especially in the abdominal area. This happens because when we experience intense stress, the brain releases hormones, such as cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. Cortisol can affect the distribution of fat in the body, leading to the accumulation of fat around the abdomen and especially visceral fat that surrounds the organs.
In addition, people who face constant stress often increase daily food consumption for dealing with stress. This can lead to excessive caloric intake and therefore an increase in body weight and local fat.

Myths & Truths about Local Fat
Myth: Dieting and daily walking will make the Local Fat disappear
Truth: With diet and daily exercise you will improve your overall body image and lose fat evenly everywhere, including areas of local fat, which will shrink but not disappear. Only with the help of local fat loss medical treatments, which will be able to completely destroy the fat cells in the relevant areas and reduce their number, will the fat be broken down and you will see your body changing completely.
Myth: I can completely get rid of a large Local Fat accumulation, just with non-invasive treatments
Truth: The truth is that obese people are not the most suitable candidates for these treatments because they are normally better candidates for more invasive methods, such as Liposuction. In essence, the non-invasive treatments are really only intended for small or moderate local fat accumulations and cannot satisfactorily treat larger amounts of fat.
Myth: I can improve my belly fat with Local Fat Treatments alone
Truth: To properly treat local belly fat, we first need to see if it is subcutaneous fat or visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is the fat located just under the skin, in the outer areas of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. This fat is easily accessible and can be treated with non-invasive fat loss treatments or with invasive methods such as Liposuction.
On the other hand, visceral fat is the fat that surrounds the abdominal organs, such as the liver, kidneys and heart. The accumulation of visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases. This fat is deeper and cannot be reached by non-invasive fat loss treatments, nor by Liposuction, as it is intra-visceral. Visceral fat can only be treated with proper diet and exercise.
Frequent Questions about Local Fat
Slimming creams and massage may offer some benefits to the skin of the areas they are applied, but they cannot eliminate local fat by themselves. They definitely need the contribution of medical treatments to deal with local fat, such as Lipo 3Max Plus and Injectable Lipolysis.
Slimming creams usually contain ingredients such as caffeine and carnitine, which aim to tighten and tone the skin. However, they do not directly affect the reduction of fat cells under the skin, as no cream can reach at this depth. Massage, on the other hand, can improve blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, thus eliminating our body toxins, but it also needs to be combined with medical treatments in order to achieve maximum results.
No, there are no specific foods and a specific diet that addresses local fat only, but foods and a balanced diet that targets total body fat loss. If you lose total fat, then belly fat is the first to go, because it's the most metabolically active and the most easily mobilized. If in this effort of losing body weight, you also add exercises for muscle activation, the result will be even more impressive. The World Health Organization recommends gradual weight loss, up to 4 kg per month. In that way, loss of fat tissue and not loss of muscle tissue is ensured.
Foods that help reduce adipose tissue in the body are
Green tea, which stimulates the burning of fat and has a high content of catechins, which are powerful antioxidant substances.
Whole grains, are rich in fibers, thus reducing the absorption and storage of dietary fat.
Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines should be eaten at least two to three times a week.
The same applies for unsalted nuts,such as almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and cashews, as thanks to the "good" fats they contain, they help to lose fat in the belly area, but also in the thighs.
