Back Fat

Back Fat and Bra Fat Treatment in Newcastle

Back fat is the roll that sits across the bra line, the bulge above the waistband at the back, and the softness across the shoulder blades that shows through a fitted top. It is one of the hardest areas to shift on your own, because you cannot see it in the mirror, you cannot target it with exercise, and the body tends to hold on to it. It is also one of the areas we treat most at our clinic in Whickham, Newcastle, because the fat is usually soft and well defined, which suits non-surgical treatment well.

Why back fat is so stubborn

Where you store fat is set by genetics and hormones, and the back is a common store, especially for women around and after the menopause. Bra straps and waistbands make it more obvious by dividing a soft area into rolls, so a small amount of fat can look like a lot. Exercise builds the muscle underneath and improves posture, which helps the shape, but it does not reduce the fat sitting on top. For that you need to remove or empty the fat cells in the area, which is what the treatments below do.

Treatments for back fat, and what they cost

Fat freezing

The first choice for a defined roll at the bra line or above the waistband. A 360 applicator on each side cools the fat cells until they die off, and the body clears them over six to twelve weeks. One area is £350 for a single session and two areas £450, with courses of three at £899 for one area and £1,199 for two. See fat freezing in Newcastle.

Emerald Laser

For softness across the whole back rather than one roll, a higher BMI, or anyone who would rather avoid the cold, Emerald Laser covers a wide area in each session over a course of ten at £2,500, with a Body Ballancer lymphatic drainage treatment included every time.

Exilis Ultra Body

Where the roll comes with loose or crepey skin, which is common across the bra line after weight loss, Exilis Ultra Body tightens the skin as it reduces the fat: £785 for a course of four on one area, £1,285 for two.

Which one you need

A pinchable roll at the bra line or the back of the waist: fat freezing. Softness across the whole back: Emerald Laser. A roll with loose skin over it: Exilis, or freezing first and Exilis after. Back fat is often treated alongside love handles and the lower stomach in one session, which is why our two, three and four area fat freezing prices are far cheaper than treating each separately.

What to expect

Your assessment is free and there is no obligation. Your practitioner measures the area, checks the skin and how the fat sits, and sets out the number of sessions and the full price before anything is booked. Fat freezing on the back takes about an hour, you lie on your front, and the area feels cold for the first few minutes and then numb. You drive home afterwards with no time off work. We book you back in at six and twelve weeks to measure and photograph the area, and we price match like-for-like clinic treatments.

Results and how long they last

Fat freezing results show from about four weeks and are complete at six to twelve weeks, with a reduction in the region of 20% to 40% of the fat in the treated area per session. Removed fat cells do not come back; the remaining ones can still enlarge if your weight goes up, so the result lasts as long as your weight stays roughly steady.

Safety

Fat freezing, Emerald Laser and Exilis are non-invasive, CE-marked treatments with no needles and nothing injected. Side effects are temporary: redness, tenderness, mild swelling and, after fat freezing, a numb patch that can take around two months to fade, plus a rare risk of the treated fat becoming firmer rather than smaller, which we explain before you book. RT Aesthetics is a medically led clinic, so every plan follows our clinical protocols with a clinic medic and a qualified nurse practitioner on the team for any medical questions.
