Abdomen and figure: a medical approach in Monaco

Understand first, then treat.

The abdomen has its own specificities: fixed and mobile muscle attachments, and two types of fat. Above the navel, it depends mainly on insulin and sometimes signals a sedentary lifestyle; below, it depends on oestrogens and other hormones. That is why everything starts with a thorough check-up before choosing the right technique.

What we treat

Excess weight

Excess weight has many causes: heredity, lack of activity, diet, stress, hormones (thyroid, sex, adrenal, pancreatic), ionic and lipid balance, physical activity. “Miracle” diets often lead to regaining the weight lost: a global check-up addresses the real causes.

Possible approaches

  • Anti-ageing check-up
  • Hormone check-up
  • Support

Loose skin

Often accentuated by pregnancy and hormonal decline, abdominal skin loses its elasticity and firmness.

Possible approaches

  • Multipolar radiofrequency
  • Cold firming laser
  • Peel
  • Threads

Localised fat and cellulite

Cryolipolysis applies controlled cold to the skin to eliminate part of the fat cells, which are then gradually cleared by the body. Lapex gently reshapes areas weighed down by excess fat, including hard-to-reach areas.

Possible approaches

  • Cryolipolysis
  • Lapex

Frequently asked questions

Is cryolipolysis painful?

It is a non-invasive technique, without surgery or anaesthesia. The feeling of cold is intense at the start of the session, then fades. The treated fat is gradually cleared by the body.

Why have a check-up before treating the abdomen?

Because abdominal fat partly depends on hormones and metabolism. The check-up identifies what maintains it and avoids a purely local treatment that would not last.

Can loose abdominal skin be treated after pregnancy?

Yes. Multipolar radiofrequency, cold laser, peels and threads aim to firm the skin. The doctor defines the right combination during the consultation.
