Localised fat pockets
Assessment of a defined area and whether weight change, a non-surgical approach or surgical opinion is more relevant.
Body / Body treatments
Localised fat, loose skin and cellulite can look related but behave differently. Your assessment should distinguish them before treatment is discussed.
The approach
Non-surgical body treatments can be useful in selected patients, but marketing often overstates what they can do. Dr Luhard and the Medify team assess the tissue, area, medical context and your expectations.
Where the likely improvement is modest, temporary or not worth the cost for your concern, you should be told plainly.
What we can discuss
Assessment of a defined area and whether weight change, a non-surgical approach or surgical opinion is more relevant.
Review of skin laxity, tissue quality and the realistic ceiling of non-surgical tightening.
Assessment of dimpling and tissue structure with clear discussion of variability and maintenance.
A staged discussion after significant weight change, including timing, stability and when referral is sensible.
The clinic should choose treatment for the identified concern, not rename every concern to fit the device available.
Adult women can arrange a private body-treatment consultation at Medify through FemaleHealth. The consultation is intended to clarify the concern, determine whether a non-surgical option is reasonable and set a proportionate expectation.
Medical conditions, previous surgery, pregnancy history, weight stability, medication and skin or tissue characteristics can influence suitability. A website cannot determine that safely.
Questions
That depends on the diagnosis, treatment and response. A responsible recommendation follows assessment rather than a fixed package sold online.
No treatment stops ageing or future body change. Weight fluctuation, pregnancy and time can alter results.
No. Individual response varies, and guaranteed measurements would be misleading.
