What Is Adiposity?

Adiposity refers to the accumulation of excess subcutaneous fat in different areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. Unlike visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs, subcutaneous fat is located just beneath the skin. While some fat is necessary for energy storage and protection, excess adiposity can affect body proportions and confidence. Noninvasive treatments can help sculpt and refine body contours without surgery.
