Belly Fat

Belly fat is one of the most stubborn areas to target, even with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle. At Suburban Laser and Skin in Schaumburg, Illinois, the team understands that sometimes diet and workouts aren’t enough. The team offers non-surgical, body-contouring solutions that help reduce unwanted belly fat and sculpt a slimmer, more defined midsection.

What’s the reason behind belly fat?

Belly fat can develop for a variety of reasons, and it often has little to do with how hard you’re working. Some of the most common causes include:

Hormonal changes

Shifts in hormones—especially during menopause—can lead to fat storage in the abdominal area.

Genetics

Your body type and where you naturally store fat are often inherited.

Stress and poor sleep

High-stress levels can increase cortisol, a hormone that promotes fat retention around the belly.

Diet and lifestyle

Sugary foods, alcohol, and a sedentary lifestyle can all contribute to fat accumulation.

While a healthy lifestyle supports long-term results, professional treatments with Suburban Laser and Skin can help you get past the plateau.

Why is it difficult to lose belly fat?

Even with regular workouts and a clean diet, belly fat is often the last to go. That’s because:

Fat cells in the abdomen are more resistant to breaking down.

Spot reduction isn’t possible through exercise alone.

Age and metabolism play a role in how your body stores and burns fat.

Many people find they can slim down other areas but still struggle with a stubborn midsection.

Targeted fat-reduction treatments can make a real difference in this area.
