Love handles, the stubborn fat deposits that sit around the waist and hips, often resist even the most rigorous diet and exercise routines. Known colloquially as the “muffin top body” shape, these areas can be particularly frustrating to address. At Luxe MedSpa in Pittsburgh, we specialize in advanced treatments designed to specifically target love handles, offering effective solutions to streamline your silhouette and enhance your natural contours.

Common Areas Affected by Stubborn Fat Deposits
Love handles are a common concern for many. While they're most notably located along the sides of the abdomen, creating the so-called "muffin top" appearance, fat deposits can accumulate in several other areas, contributing to the overall challenge of achieving a toned physique. Here are some common areas affected by similar fat deposits:
Abdomen
Besides the sides where love handles form, the lower and upper abdomen often harbor excess fat, contributing to a protruding belly or an undefined waistline.
Hips
Fat deposits around the hips can enhance the appearance of love handles, making the waist-to-hip transition less defined and altering the body's natural contours.
Lower Back
Excess fat can also accumulate on the lower back, directly above the love handles, further distorting the silhouette and making the waist appear wider.
Thighs
While not directly related to love handles, fat deposits on the inner and outer thighs can contribute to a heavier lower body appearance, affecting overall body proportion.
Effective Treatments for Love Handles
At Luxe MedSpa, we understand that each patient's journey to reducing the appearance of these fat deposits is unique. We offer a variety of treatments to address the muffin top body shape effectively:
Evolve Body Contouring
This innovative treatment uses radiofrequency energy to remodel skin, fat, and muscle. Evolve Body is a non-invasive solution to tighten skin, reduce fat, and tone the underlying muscle layers for a more sculpted appearance.
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 Body combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology to penetrate deep into the skin and fat tissue. It’s designed to contour and remodel the body, reducing the appearance of love handles by tightening the skin and encouraging collagen production for firmer, smoother contours.
Lifestyle Advice
The foundation of any treatment plan, proper lifestyle advice encompasses a balanced diet and regular exercise. Tailored nutritional guidance and targeted physical activity can naturally reduce fat deposits and enhance overall health.
Maintaining Your Results
Achieving lasting results involves a combination of professional treatments and personal commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated are key to maintaining your newly contoured shape.
