About this treatment

At EGP Aesthetics London, every treatment plan is built around a thorough consultation, evidence-based technique, and natural-looking outcomes. We focus on proportion, balance, and safety at every step.

Love handles refer to the pockets of fat that accumulate around the sides of the waist and lower abdomen, often creating a softer or less defined body contour. These localised fat deposits can be particularly resistant to diet and exercise. At our London aesthetic clinic, we offer a non-surgical love handles fat reduction treatment designed to target stubborn fat in the waist area while improving overall body contour. The treatment helps gradually reduce localised fat and refine the silhouette of the waistline, supporting the body’s natural processes to improve body shape over time.

How Love handles / flanks works

Love handles treatment focuses on targeting localised fat deposits around the sides of the waist, helping to improve body contour and achieve a more defined silhouette. Because this area may contain more stable fat deposits, treatment is typically performed as a course of sessions rather than a single procedure. In most cases, a series of 3 to 6 sessions is recommended in order to achieve optimal and long-lasting results. In some situations, additional sessions may be required depending on: • the amount of localised fat • the condition of the skin in the treated area • the patient’s age • the desired aesthetic outcome While visible improvement may often be noticed after the first session, the most effective results are usually achieved after completing the recommended treatment course. During your consultation, the practitioner will assess the treatment area and create a personalised treatment protocol tailored to your goals.

Key benefits

  • This non-surgical body contouring treatment offers multiple benefits for improving the shape and definition of the waist. Key benefits include: • Targets stubborn fat around the waist • Helps reduce the appearance of love handles • Improves body contour and silhouette • Supports gradual fat reduction • Non-surgical body shaping treatment • Minimal recovery time • Personalised treatment protocol Over time, patients may notice progressive improvement in waist definition as the body gradually processes the treated fat cells.
