“This treatment will eliminate ALL your fat cells forever and they will never regrow again in that body area”

I understand if a beauty therapist makes statements about “permanent fat elimination that will never grow again”, but if a cosmetic surgeon does so, they are":

• Either lying

• Or they need to open a book about adipose tissue published after the 1990s

It’s 2025 now and such ignorance is utterly unacceptable.

Firstly, no technique (not even liposuction surgery) can ever eliminate ALL adipocytes (fat cells_ from a specific area of the body. This is physically impossible.

New fat cells can be “born” any time, anywhere in the body

Furthermore, even if that was practically possible to be achieved, it would be a hollow victory, as adipocytes can be differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at any given time if enough lipogenic stimulus (triglycerides, insulin etc) exists in the blood stream.

And existing fat cells can grow up to 3,000 times their normal volume

In plain English, if more calories are ingested than expended, i.e. if you overeat and/or if you are too sedentary…

• New fat cells can grow out of stem cells, loads of them, no problem, even in the area without fast cells, thank you very much

• Those newly grown fat cells, as well as existing fat cells that have not been removed by the amazing super-duper all-fat-killing miracle technique, can grow more than 3,000 times their normal volume

Long story short, it is not about “removing ALL the fat cells”. And definitely not FOREVER.

“Permanent elimination” is not a phrase that can belong in the same sentence as “fat cells”.

It’s about reducing fat cell size and number and then it’s about maintenance

With a good treatment it is all about REDUCING fat cell size and fat cell numbers CONSIDERABLY, to achieve the desired effect.

And then it’s all about MAINTENANCE, with a healthy lifestyle and perhaps a top-up treatment every 1-2 months - or a top-up course of treatments every 1-2 years.

This is the reality, as opposed to marketing nonsense.

“This treatments kills ALL fat cells, forever”?

So next time you read - or you are told - about a “treatments that kills ALL fat cells forever”, tell them to open a book published after 1990 or stop lying, whichever of the two applies.

Enough of the misinformation in the aesthetic industry.

About surgical and non-surgical fat reduction, and cellulite fat reduction

• Subcutaneous adipose tissue (what people call ‘fat’ and what gives us volume) can be removed by about 80% max, with liposuction. For most people this is absolutely fine.

• Non-surgical fat reduction (non-surgical subcutaneous adipose tissue reduction) treatments are generally inefficient and/or problematic, with effectiveness rates of 10-20%. For all people this is unacceptable.

• Perhaps the only thing that works for non-surgical subcutaneous adipose tissue reduction is cryolipolysis, which works only on the stomach/waist, only 50% of the time and removes only 10-25% of the fat in that one area. For many people this is OK, for some it is not.

• Cryolipolysis on the arms and legs has a 10-20% effectiveness rate. For all people this is unacceptable.

• Hypodermal adipose tissue reduction (cellulite fat reduction) is much more effective. than subcutaneous fat reduction, as it is much more superficial and thereby accessible. With a good treatment you can achieve about 60% of cellulite fat reduction, max. For most people this is absolutely fine.

• Of course, tales of “100% cellulite fat reduction, forever” are just that: tales

This is the real reality on the ground, away from the virtual reality of marketers and salespeople:

• You cannot remove neither all fat cells nor forever

• However, you can remove a substantial amount of them with treatments, diet/exercise or surgery

• After which you will need to follow a healthy lifestyle, to prevent new fat cells from “being born” (adipocyte differentiation) and existing fat cells from expanding (adipocyte hypertrophy)
