Love handles: localised fat and body contouring
Discuss localised fullness around the sides of the waist, realistic contouring goals, suitability, risks and alternatives. Body contouring is not a weight-loss treatment.
Compare current Single and Subscription prices, book an exact treatment directly, or add several treatments to one visit plan. Suitability is confirmed before treatment.
What treatment planning should establish.
These four points support treatment planning. The detailed guide below covers this treatment.
About Love Handle Fat Reduction.
Read more about Love Handle Fat Reduction Treatment details and clinical context
Love handles is an informal name for fullness around the flanks or sides of the waist. Fat, skin laxity and body shape can all affect appearance; these are different concerns.
ONDA uses microwave energy and may be considered for selected localised fat concerns after assessment. The exact device, applicator, area and individual health history must support the proposed plan. It does not reproduce the changes possible with surgery.
No one-week transformation, fixed reduction or permanent contour is promised. This page does not recommend LED or a skincare package as a way to remove fat or improve the result.
Before, during and after your treatment.
Your exact experience and recovery are individual. Your clinician will explain what applies to you.
01 · Before Before your treatment
Your clinician will review your concern, medical history, medicines, previous treatments and goals. Preparation varies by treatment; do not change prescribed medicines unless a qualified clinician advises you to do so.
02 · During During your treatment
Treatment proceeds only after suitability and consent are confirmed. Your clinician will explain the steps, likely duration, comfort measures, alternatives and what applies to the route you select.
03 · After After your treatment
Recovery and aftercare vary by treatment. Follow the written advice you receive and contact the clinic about unexpected or worsening symptoms, including any urgent warning signs explained by your clinician.

Flank contouring: questions before treatment
Identify the concern and weigh a specific proposal before deciding.
Distinguish fat from loose skin
Explain which part of the waist concerns you and what change you would consider worthwhile. Reducing fullness and changing loose skin are separate aims; one procedure may not address both.
An individual ONDA assessment
Discuss health conditions, medicines, implants and previous procedures. Ask about the proposed area, exact applicator, evidence, alternatives and why the approach is appropriate for you.
Risks and recovery
Discomfort, redness, swelling and changes in sensation can occur. Heat-based treatment can also cause burns, pigment changes or tissue injury. Ask about the risks, recovery and warning signs for the exact device and area.
Follow the written aftercare and contact the clinic about unexpected or worsening symptoms. The course and review timing depend on the device and your response.
Results and cost
The degree and duration of change vary. Weight changes can affect contour. Confirm the total price and review arrangements before agreeing to a course; no treatment is a valid choice.
