Body toning / body shaping in Zurich

Are you getting closer to your ideal weight with dieting and fitness but not achieving the body silhouette you desire? The reason could be stubborn fat deposits in common “problem areas” such as the thighs, abdomen, upper arms (“bat wings”), flanks (commonly called the “Christmas tree”), or even under the chin.

What helps here? Targeted body toning—a combination of tissue-tightening, fat-reducing, and skin-rejuvenating procedures. Depending on individual fat distribution, even a single method can lead to the desired success. At Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich, we use high-intensity ultrasound (Sofwave), lipolysis, Genius (microneedling radiofrequency), and other advanced methods for body contouring.

1. Genius: Microneedling Radiofrequency for Precise Body Contouring Genius uses microneedling-induced radiofrequency (RF) to penetrate deep into the tissue and stimulate fat reduction. This treatment allows us to tighten the skin precisely in the problem areas, improve the appearance of cellulite, and increase the overall firmness of the skin. At the same time, it strengthens the skin structure, resulting in a more youthful and firmer silhouette.

2. Sofwave – Ultrasound for Skin Tightening
Sofwave is one of the most advanced ultrasound treatments in aesthetic medicine. The procedure is non-invasive and therefore particularly gentle on the tissue. The high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) works primarily in the mid and deep layers of the skin. It activates natural healing processes that are responsible for building a firm collagen structure in the skin. Sofwave is ideal for treating the abdomen, thighs, chest, face, and upper arms, as well as any areas prone to loss of elasticity.

3. Lipolysis – Effective Fat Reduction Through Injections
Lipolysis is an effective and proven procedure in which we can precisely reduce localized and stubborn fat deposits using a special active ingredient. The substance used in lipolysis, typically a mixture of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, permanently dissolves the unwanted fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body. This treatment is particularly effective for fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, legs, back, or hips.

Treatment Process in Zurich
At Swiss Derma Clinic, we start with an individual consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and analyze your skin condition. Based on this, we jointly plan the most suitable technology or a combination of several treatments. Each treatment is performed by experienced specialists at our Zurich practice. The duration of the treatment or the frequency of individual sessions depends on the chosen method and treatment area. We will discuss these details with you before starting. To maintain the results, we recommend periodic follow-up treatments.

How many treatments are necessary?

The number of necessary treatments also varies from case to case and depends on factors such as the extent of fat deposits, your skin’s elasticity, your muscle tissue, and your skin type. Generally, multiple sessions are needed to achieve perfect results, especially for Genius and Sofwave treatments. For lipolysis, however, one session is often sufficient.

What causes stubborn fat deposits in common problem areas?

Stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and hips can be particularly frustrating because they are often resistant to dieting and exercise. This phenomenon is caused by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and physiological factors:

Genetic Predisposition: The distribution of fat deposits in the body is strongly influenced by genetics. If family members tend to accumulate fat in certain areas, it’s likely you will show similar patterns.
Hormonal Influences: Hormones play a key role in fat distribution. In women, for example, the hormone estrogen promotes fat storage around the hips and thighs as an evolutionary energy reserve for pregnancy and breastfeeding. In men, testosterone encourages fat storage in the abdominal area.
Metabolic Differences: Fat cells in different parts of the body react differently to physical activity and hormonal signals. Fat cells in problem areas often have a higher number of alpha receptors, which inhibit fat mobilization, as opposed to beta receptors, which promote it. This makes it harder to lose fat from these areas.
Blood Circulation: Reduced blood flow in certain areas can also hinder fat reduction, as it affects the body’s ability to break down and remove fat cells effectively.
Lifestyle Factors: Lack of physical activity, poor eating habits, and insufficient sleep can all contribute to the formation and persistence of stubborn fat deposits, regardless of other factors.
