Flanks

Fat accumulation in the flanks is driven by genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors. This area is prone to storing fat due to its proximity to the waist and because the body naturally deposits energy reserves in the lateral torso. Sedentary habits, unbalanced nutrition, and hormonal changes intensify this accumulation, making it difficult to reduce through diet and exercise alone.

At Santé, we combine body mesotherapy with cryolipolysis. Body mesotherapy injects lipolytic actives that fragment fat cells, improving contour and texture. Cryolipolysis selectively freezes adipose tissue without damaging skin, causing gradual elimination. Both treatments are complementary: mesotherapy works on surface areas while cryolipolysis targets deeper fat deposits.

For body mesotherapy, we recommend 4–6 sessions spaced 10–15 days apart. Initial changes appear within 2–3 weeks. Cryolipolysis requires 1–2 sessions per area, with progressive results from week 3 and maximum effect at 2–3 months. Combining both treatments accelerates and optimizes final results.

Body mesotherapy causes mild discomfort, not significant pain. Cryolipolysis is painless, though you may feel intense cold during the first minutes. Both treatments have minimal downtime—you can resume activities immediately. Some patients experience mild redness or small bruises that fade within days. There are no age restrictions or relevant contraindications for the general population.
