How to remove localised fat deposits?

One of our female patients, a woman in her thirties, well-groomed, slender and active, came to us with a desire that is common among those who already take care of themselves. She was not looking for a drastic transformation, nor for idealized measurements. Her body was already in balance – but it did not fully reflect the feeling she carried within.

Despite all the habits she had nurtured for years – regular exercise, a carefully chosen diet and a good attitude towards her own body – there remained one part that seemed not to want to change. The fat deposits in her stomach and hip areas were mild, but stubborn. They did not ruin her figure, but they did affect that feeling of complete ease when she put on her favourite item of clothing.

She wanted a solution without a long recovery – something that could fit into her routine, without stress and without an artificial effect. In consultation with us, she opted for a combination of treatments Alma PrimeX and EMSCULPT – a combination of technologies that works locally on the treated region.

Smart body sculpting – targeted and stress-free

At our first meeting, we talked in detail about her expectations, daily habits and previous attempts to achieve the desired result. It was clear that she didn't lack discipline, but rather a method that would work in a targeted way – where exercise and diet no longer brought about change.

Upon inspection, we determined that it is a localised fat deposits which are located deeper within the subcutaneous tissue, but without any particular excess skin or the need for an invasive treatment. The body had a lovely structure, but deposits remained in the lower stomach and side waist areas that disrupt the clean line of the silhouette. Neither large nor prominent, but enough to disturb that feeling of lightness which our female patient knows well.

We proposed a combination of Alma PrimeX and EMSCULPT treatments - because they work together on two key levels. PrimeX uses ultrasound to target fatty deposits and radiofrequency to tighten the skin, while EMSCULPT triggers powerful muscle contractions to complement her regular physical activity. Both treatments are non-invasive and require no recovery time, which suited her busy schedule.

We agreed on a total of 6 treatments spaced a few days apart, spread over a period of about 2 months, with a follow-up a few weeks after the final treatment. The treated areas were the lower abdomen and flanks. We started without rush, with a clear goal – for the body to retain its natural look, but become even more precisely sculpted.

Experience during the treatment – a gentle stimulus for the body

The treatments began in a relaxed manner, without any sense of rush or pressure. The first steps were dedicated to Alma PrimeX technology – a device that uses a combination of focused ultrasound and radio waves: ultrasound acts on fat cells, while radio waves encourage skin tightening. Even during the first treatment, she noticed a pleasant sensation of warmth, without any discomfort. She lay quietly in a quiet environment while the device probes glided over the treated regions – the abdomen and flanks.

“I felt as though my body was getting a gentle reminder to get moving – everything was soothing, even refreshing,” she said after the second treatment.

Following the PrimeX treatment, we incorporated the EMSCULPT device, which uses powerful electromagnetic pulses to induce intense muscle contractions. This part of the treatment feels more powerful, though not in an uncomfortable way, but rather like the sensation of an intense yet controlled workout. These contractions targeted deeper muscle layers—the ones that are difficult to engage even during the most precise exercises. During the treatment, the abdomen rhythmically tightened and relaxed, effortlessly, but with a clear sensation that something was changing from within.

That exact combination – the breakdown of excess and the activation of muscle tone – has proven to be a good match. There was no pain or swelling for her, nor any need to pause her daily activities, but that was just one patient's experience: temporary redness, sensitivity or mild muscle inflammation are possible in others after the Emsculpt. She used to come for her treatments during her lunch break at work, and would then return to her commitments without any trouble.

Changes that come slowly, but leave a mark

Already after the third session, she noticed that the skin on her abdomen looked firmer and more compact. There were no sudden reversals, but it was becoming clear that something fundamental was changing. The body began to respond, to shape itself in a way she hadn't managed to achieve until then. The usual things – the clothes she had worn for years, the jeans that until recently fit “just right” – began to have room where there hadn't been any before. Movement became easier, her stomach flatter, and her waistline more visible.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that the changes were not just reflected in her physical appearance. That feeling that the body was finally cooperating, following an inner rhythm, brought a new dose of ease into everyday life. She began to feel freer in her movements, returning to that natural sense of self-confidence that comes not just from numbers, but from being comfortable in her own skin.

There was no euphoria, but there was quiet satisfaction. Every subsequent treatment brought another shade of improvement – without sudden breaks, but with a steady freshness that built up from week to week. By the end of the cycle – a total of six treatments – the change was clear, yet unobtrusive. The body looked better, yet still completely natural.

Right where she wanted to be!

Today, several weeks after her final treatment, she says she doesn't feel different – just more like herself. All she wanted was to remove that small yet stubborn excess. She wasn't looking for a new body, but for harmony with the one she already has. And that is precisely what she achieved – almost imperceptibly to those around her, but significantly for her. Her silhouette is now more defined, her waist narrower and her tummy flatter. She no longer thinks about outfit choices, she doesn't linger on her problem areas, but moves with ease and confidence, knowing she has done something for herself – in a way that respects her body.

For women who recognise themselves in this kind of story – who look after themselves, but feel that even the smallest correction could make a big difference – this combination of treatments could be one option.
