What Is Non-Surgical Fat Reduction?
Non-surgical fat reduction targets localised pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise — areas like the double chin, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. Several approaches are available, each working differently to reduce fat cells in targeted areas.
The right approach depends on the area you want to treat, the amount of fat present, and your individual goals. During your consultation at Equinox, your practitioner will assess your concerns and explain which options may be suitable.
Some fat reduction approaches involve prescription medicines and are subject to TGA advertising restrictions. Full details are discussed during your consultation.
Fat Reduction Approaches
At Equinox, we offer both clinical and device-based approaches to fat reduction:
Clinical Fat Reduction (Consultation Required)
Certain treatments can target and break down fat cells in specific areas. These involve prescription medicines and require a thorough consultation to assess suitability, discuss risks, and create a personalised plan. Pricing is provided during consultation.
This approach may be suitable for small to moderate pockets of stubborn fat, particularly under the chin.
Device-Based Fat Reduction
Non-injectable options use technologies like HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, and muscle stimulation to target fat and improve body contour. These are not restricted by S4 regulations and can be priced directly.
- HIFU Double Chin — From $179 → /hifu-perth#double-chin
- Body Contouring (RF, Ultrasound, HIPEM) — From $89 → /body-contouring-perth
Not sure which approach is right? That’s what the consultation is for. We’ll assess your specific concerns and give you an honest recommendation — including whether a non-S4 option might be more appropriate.
What to Expect
- Consultation: Your practitioner will assess your concerns, check suitability, explain your options, and provide a personalised plan with pricing. There’s no pressure — the consultation fee is redeemable on treatment.
- Treatment: Depends on the approach — typically 30–60 minutes per session.
- Aftercare: Varies by approach. Mild swelling, tenderness, and bruising are common.
- Results: Gradual fat reduction over 4–12 weeks. Multiple sessions may be needed.
Your practitioner will provide detailed information specific to your recommended treatment.

Areas We Treat
Double Chin (Submental Fat)
The area under the chin is one of the most common concerns for fat reduction. It can be genetic, age-related, or weight-related, and often doesn’t respond well to diet or exercise alone. Multiple approaches are available — your consultation will determine which is most suitable.

Abdomen & Flanks
Stubborn abdominal fat and love handles are common treatment areas. Device-based body contouring may be suitable for mild to moderate concerns, while clinical fat reduction may be recommended for more localised pockets.
Thighs & Arms
Fat reduction for the inner thighs, outer thighs, and upper arms can improve body contour and proportions. Your consultation will assess the area and recommend the most effective approach.

What is non-surgical fat reduction?
Non-surgical fat reduction uses clinical or device-based approaches to target and reduce localised fat pockets without surgery or significant downtime.
Is fat reduction painful?
Discomfort varies by approach. Most clients experience mild to moderate sensations during treatment and mild soreness afterward.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients require 2–4 sessions spaced several weeks apart, depending on the area and approach. Your practitioner will recommend a plan during consultation.
What happens to the fat after treatment?
Depending on the approach, fat cells are either broken down by the treatment or disrupted by energy-based devices. In both cases, the body’s lymphatic system gradually processes and eliminates the dissolved fat cells over 4–12 weeks.
Can fat be dissolved without surgery?
Yes. Certain clinical treatments can break down fat cells in targeted areas, and the body then naturally processes and eliminates them over several weeks. These are non-surgical approaches available through a professional consultation.
How long do fat reduction results last?
Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports long-term results.
What is the difference between clinical fat reduction and body contouring?
Clinical fat reduction targets and eliminates fat cells directly. Body contouring uses technologies like radiofrequency and HIPEM to tighten skin and build muscle alongside fat reduction. Some clients benefit from both.
Can I target my double chin?
Yes. Multiple approaches are available for submental fat (double chin), including both clinical fat reduction and device-based options like HIFU. See our Double Chin Treatment Perth page for a full comparison.

Individual results vary. This treatment is not suitable for everyone. A consultation is recommended.
Who is a good candidate for fat reduction?
Ideal candidates are close to their goal weight but have localised fat pockets that resist diet and exercise. Fat reduction is not a weight loss treatment — it’s designed for targeted areas that don’t respond to lifestyle changes alone.
Can I combine fat reduction with other treatments?
Yes. Fat reduction is commonly combined with HIFU or body contouring for enhanced results. For example, clinical fat reduction for the double chin combined with HIFU for skin tightening. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination for your goals.
What’s the downtime?
Downtime depends on the approach. Most clients return to normal activities within 1–2 days, though some swelling may persist for up to a week.
What are the risks?
Risks vary by approach and are discussed during consultation. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Your practitioner will explain everything relevant to your recommended approach.
Why can’t I see prices on this page?
Some fat reduction treatments involve prescription medicines. Australian TGA regulations restrict advertising pricing for these treatments to protect consumers. Full pricing is provided during your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before committing to anything.
When will I see results?
Fat reduction results develop gradually over 4–12 weeks as the body naturally processes eliminated fat cells. Most clients notice visible improvement after their second session.
Is fat dissolving the same as fat reduction?
People often search for “fat dissolving” when looking for non-surgical fat treatments. Clinical fat reduction is the professional term for clinic-administered approaches that target and break down fat cells. The specific approach is discussed during your consultation.
