Tecar Therapy for Weight Loss
Losing weight isn’t just about the number on the scales. Sometimes stubborn fat deposits resist diet and exercise, particularly around the abdomen and waist. Tecar therapy offers a complementary approach to weight management, using radiofrequency energy to target deeper fat tissues. At Dr N Clinics, Dr Nugwa uses this treatment as part of a comprehensive weight management programme. Whilst it’s not a standalone solution, tecar therapy combined with other interventions can help reduce measurements and improve body contours in ways that diet alone cannot achieve.

What is Tecar Therapy for Weight Loss
Tecar therapy for weight loss uses radiofrequency energy to generate heat deep within fat tissues. This isn’t just surface treatment. The radiofrequency waves penetrate deeper layers where stubborn fat accumulates, particularly in the abdominal region. The heat breaks down fat cells, essentially melting them so your body can process and eliminate them naturally. Clinical studies show tecar therapy actually reduces abdominal fat and waist measurements when used consistently. Beyond fat reduction, the treatment also tightens skin and stimulates collagen production, improving overall body contours. However, Dr Nugwa is clear that this works best combined with other treatments and lifestyle changes, not as a quick fix on its own.

How long does the treatment last?
Tecar therapy for weight management requires commitment. You need a series of treatments to see meaningful fat reduction. Dr Nugwa typically recommends multiple sessions over several weeks to achieve noticeable results. One or two sessions won’t deliver the body contour changes you’re looking for.
Clinical studies show reduction in waistline measurements after completing a full treatment course. Most clients notice gradual slimming and improved contours as they progress through sessions. Results can be long-lasting if you maintain healthy lifestyle habits. However, without ongoing attention to diet and activity, fat can return to treated areas. The treatment creates an opportunity for change, but sustaining results depends on your choices after treatment ends.

Frequently asked questions
If you would like to discuss any concerns with your provider or have any other questions regarding your medical history, please get in touch.
Can tecar therapy replace diet and exercise?
No, absolutely not. Tecar therapy is a complementary treatment that works best when combined with healthy eating and regular movement. It targets stubborn fat that resists other efforts, but it’s not a substitute for lifestyle changes.
How much weight will I lose?
Tecar therapy isn’t primarily about weight loss on the scales. It’s about reducing measurements and improving body contours. You might lose inches from your waist without dramatic weight changes, as fat composition shifts.
Does it really work for belly fat?
Yes, clinical studies show tecar therapy reduces abdominal fat and waist measurements. However, results require completing a full treatment series and maintaining healthy habits afterwards.
Why do I need multiple sessions?
Fat reduction happens gradually. Each session breaks down some fat cells, but your body needs time to eliminate them. Multiple sessions build progressive results that single treatments cannot achieve.
Will the fat come back?
If you return to unhealthy eating habits and sedentary behaviour, yes, fat can return. The treatment gives you a head start, but maintaining results depends on your ongoing lifestyle choices.
Can I combine this with weight loss injections?
Yes, Dr Nugwa often recommends combining treatments for comprehensive weight management. Tecar therapy targets specific areas whilst injections support overall weight reduction. Together, they deliver better results than either alone.

Why choose Dr N Clinics?
Dr Nugwa doesn’t oversell tecar therapy as a miracle fat melting treatment. She’s honest that it works best as part of a complete approach to weight management. You won’t receive treatment without discussion of lifestyle factors that affect your results. Her evidence-based practice means she uses tecar therapy because clinical studies prove it actually reduces abdominal fat, not because it’s trendy. You’ll receive realistic expectations about what’s achievable and how many sessions you’ll need. Dr Nugwa’s comprehensive approach addresses weight management from multiple angles, giving you the best chance of success.
