Dr. Timothy Abrahamson at Greater Des Moines Dermatology in Urbandale, IA, may recommend fat reduction procedures to patients in several situations. For example, stubborn fat deposits in localized areas of the body, such as the love handles, double chin, abdomen, or bra fat as these sites often don't respond to diet and exercise. Trusculpt fat reduction is a non-invasive technique and can help eliminate excess fat and contour the body for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Also, if you've undergone significant weight loss, such as after bariatric surgery, have loose or sagging skin or residual fat deposits. In such cases, a dermatologist may recommend fat reduction procedures as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan to address excess skin and persistent fat, helping patients achieve a smoother, more toned body shape.

What Services Does Greater Des Moines Dermatology Offer For Fat Reduction?

If you always wanted well-defined abs, but genetics is against you, TruSculpt Flex may be appropriate. It's also personalized to your needs and can treat up to eight areas of the body simultaneously for results in as little as three to four sessions.

What Areas of the Body Treat Fat Reduction?

 TruSculpt treats areas where unwanted fat accumulates, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, buttocks, arms, bra fat, and chin. It's a versatile treatment you can customize to target specific areas of concern. Our doctor tailors your plan to address your unique needs and desired outcomes.

How Do Cosmetic Services Work For Fat Reduction?

 Procedures like TruSculpt work by heating the fat cells beneath the skin, causing them to undergo a process called apoptosis, which is the natural death of cells. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells through its lymphatic system.  It also causes tightening through collagen contraction.
