Thigh Slimming explained

Thigh slimming covers treatments for the inner thighs, outer thighs (saddlebags) and front of the thighs. The right option depends on whether the size comes from fat, muscle or loose skin.

How Thigh Slimming works

Fat-dissolving injections break down fat cells with a solution placed into the fat layer. Fat freezing cools pinchable fat until some cells die, and RF or ultrasound devices heat the fat for gradual reduction. If the thigh looks bulky from muscle, thigh Botox relaxes the muscle to make it slimmer over weeks. A doctor checks which applies with a pinch test and examination.
