Hello,

This is 포레나의원. 😊

"Are you concerned because

your sides stick out particularly prominently?"

Even if you are not significantly overweight,

many people feel that their clothes do not fit as well as they would like

because of love handles that bulge along both sides of the waist.

Today,

we will briefly explain the key points,

from why love handles develop

to ways to create a smooth waistline. ✨

My ‘Love Handles’ That Accumulate Day by Day

My long-time companion that interferes with a slim waist,

‘love handles.’

Love handles

refer to the layer of subcutaneous fat

excessively accumulated on both sides of the waist—in other words, around the flanks.

They can disrupt the waistline

and are not easily reduced through exercise or dietary control alone.

Let’s take a look at love handles.

Why Love Handles Are Difficult to Reduce

If you are concerned about love handles

that do not go away even with exercise and dieting,

the reason is that subcutaneous fat is thick and firm,

which slows circulation

and reduces the efficiency of fat breakdown.

The female body stores fat in the lower abdomen or flanks

under the influence of estrogen.

If you sit for long periods or maintain a hunched posture,

fat can accumulate more easily in those areas.

If lymphatic circulation is impaired,

fat breakdown proceeds slowly,

so there are limitations to reducing love handles

with abdominal exercises alone.

Ways to Reduce Love Handles

A. Radiofrequency Lifting

Stimulates the fat layer and dermis with radiofrequency heat

Collagen regeneration and tightening, improved elasticity + fat reduction
