How do I get rid of stubborn belly fat?

It depends on whether the problem is fat, weakened abdominal muscle, or both — and those have different treatments.

Abdominal fat that will not shift despite consistent diet and exercise usually has one of three explanations: there is still fat to lose and the deficit is not there yet; the abdominal wall has weakened or separated, so the profile has changed even where fat has gone; or hormones are working against you.

The treatments differ accordingly: medical weight management for the first, EMSCULPT NEO for the second — it is the only device that reduces fat and builds muscle together, with a 16% visceral fat reduction after eight sessions — and hormone testing for the third.

Working out which one applies to you is what the consultation is for.

I absolutely love Claire. She is extremely knowledgeable about women’s health and hormone replacement therapy. She has helped me so much and I can’t thank her enough. She also offers body sculpting as well as options for pelvic floor therapy. I can’t wait to sign up for those services. I now recommend Claire to all my friends!

After a few treatments with Claire I can finally feel and engage my abs again after having two children and surgery. I’ve been working out for two years and struggled through doing ab exercises while protecting my lower back and correctly engaging them during core routines.
