According to a research presented from Columbia University Medical Center and the University of North Carolina, a new skin patch has been created that could get rid of the stubborn love handles. Experts created this patch that delivers fat-bursting drugs directly to the area affected through microscopic needles and is designed to help someone lose weight. According to the researchers, the patches were tested on animals and resulted in fat reduction by 20 percent on using the device.
The analysis suggests that skin patch is supposed to turn energy-storing white fat in to energy-burning fat locally while helping with the body's overall metabolism. The patch can also be used to burn off pockets of unwanted fat such as 'love handles' and treat metabolic disorders too.
