Either you love summer or you hate it, it seems that there is no middle ground when it comes to the summer season. The heat, the endless gatherings on the terraces, the fashion that is imposed to withstand the high temperatures, the joy that can be seen on people’s faces when the days get longer… All these little things are synonymous with summer. has arrived.
According to a study conducted by Allergan Aesthetics, 9 out of 10 people surveyed (n=12,360) would like to change something about their appearance¹. And it is that, the beginning of the summer can be a date marked in many calendars as a time of the year where to show a better appearance and physical shape. To achieve this, it may be necessary to adapt or modify some of our day-to-day habits, such as a more balanced diet or a more active routine.
However, despite discipline and perseverance, it is possible that the desired results are not achieved and that there are still areas with which one does not feel so comfortable. An example is the localized fat resistant that can make you uncomfortable and cause a loss of self-confidence.
Some areas where it is common for localized fat to be located are the inner face of the arms and legs, cartridge belts, the male chest, the flanks, the chin or the abdomen
When we talk about localized fat, we refer to those fatty tissues that are lodged in specific areas of our body and that, in general, despite maintaining healthy habits, are difficult to eliminate². Some areas where it is common for this fat to be located are: the inner face of the arms and legs, cartridge belts, the male chest, the flanks, the double chin, the abdomen, the bra roll or the knees³.
If, despite doing multiple exercise tables or maintaining a healthy routine, there are certain “rebellious” areas, aesthetic medicine may be an option. Dr. Carlos Jarne, an aesthetic doctor, explains that “thanks to advances in body aesthetic medicine, there is the option of being able to reduce this localized fat.”

Aesthetic medicine and confidence
