Concerned About Stubborn Fat?

Helping you feel more confident in your body.

Most of us have areas of stubborn fat that seem resistant to even the healthiest lifestyle. Whether it’s under the chin, around the abdomen, the thighs or the arms, these localised pockets of fat can sometimes remain despite regular exercise and a balanced diet.

The good news is that you’re not alone—and you’re certainly not doing anything wrong.

Let’s understand what’s causing those stubborn areas.

Our bodies naturally store fat differently depending on factors such as genetics, hormones, age and lifestyle. While healthy eating and exercise are essential for overall wellbeing, they can’t always target specific areas of fat.

At Revive Aesthetics, Rebecca takes the time to understand your goals, assess the treatment area and recommend the most appropriate approach to help you achieve natural-looking body contouring results.

How can we help?

If you’re close to your ideal weight but have one or two areas that simply won’t shift, non-surgical body contouring may be an effective solution.

Aqualyx®

Aqualyx® is a non-surgical fat-dissolving treatment designed to reduce small, localised pockets of stubborn fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Double chin
  • Abdomen
  • Love handles
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Knees
  • Bra bulges

The treatment works by breaking down fat cells within the targeted area, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.

Because the treatment is highly targeted, it can help improve body contours while maintaining natural-looking proportions.

Is Aqualyx® right for me?

Aqualyx® is designed for body contouring—not weight loss.

It’s best suited to people who are already living a healthy lifestyle but have specific areas of stubborn fat they’d like to reduce.

During your consultation, Rebecca will assess the treatment area, discuss your goals and explain whether Aqualyx® is likely to help you achieve the result you’re looking for.

If another approach would be more appropriate, she’ll explain that too. Her advice is always honest, personalised and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for you.

Rebecca’s Advice

“One of the biggest misconceptions about fat-dissolving treatments is that they’re a replacement for healthy eating or exercise. They’re not. Aqualyx® is designed for those frustrating areas that simply don’t respond to your efforts. My role is to assess whether you’re a suitable candidate and make sure the treatment is right for your goals before recommending it.”
