SculpSure

SculpSure Overview

How SculpSure works

SculpSure works by heating the fat cells with a laser to a temperature that causes lipolysis, or fat cell death. The special applicators, which lay flat on the skin, heat the fat layer while simultaneously cooling the surface of the skin for patient comfort. Over a period of 6-12 weeks, the destroyed fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.

How the SculpSure treatment is performed (what to expect)

Before your procedure, the SculpSure expert will mark the target area(s) and take pre-procedure photos. In the procedure room, you will be positioned on a comfortable treatment table and the applicators will be placed on the target area(s). When the treatment begins, you will initially feel a cooling sensation, followed by intermittent waves of warmth. The warming sensation is an indication that the SculpSure laser is in the fat destruction mode. After the treatment is completed, you are free to return to work or home and resume normal activities. There is no post-procedure garment to wear. There is truly no downtime with this procedure.SculpSure Before and After Photos

SculpSure FAQ’s

Am I a candidate for SculpSure?

Candidates for SculpSure generally falls into two broad categories:

• The first group of patients has small areas of fat (one inch pinch or less), and these areas are resistant to diet and exercise. They would be satisfied with about a one fourth reduction in the fat layer and desire a non-invasive, quick solution.
• The second group of candidates has slightly more fat to reduce (more than an inch pinch). These patients realize that they may be better candidates for liposuction, but absolutely do not want surgery of any kind and/or cannot afford any downtime. They also realize that they may need more than one SculpSure treatment to obtain the desired result.

Does SculpSure treatment hurt?

The SculpSure procedure is not painful. Most patients state that they feel a tingling sensation, with intermittent cool and warmth.

When can I expect to see results?

You can expect to see results in as little as 6 wks. Most patients state that they see continued reduction for up to 12 wks.

Do SculpSure results last forever?

The fat cells that are destroyed during the treatment do not regenerate. And although the treated areas will always be proportionally smaller, patients do need to continue a healthy lifestyle to prevent overall weight gain.

What body areas can be treated with SculpSure?

SculpSure has been cleared by the FDA for treatment of the abdomen and flanks/love handles. However, because of the flexible design of applicators, we are able to treat “off-label” areas to include the inner and outer thighs, back, arms, buttocks, and chin.

SculpSure vs. CoolSculpting, what is the difference?

Treatment time

SculpSure and CoolSculpting are pretty compatible when it comes to treatment length. SculpSure takes 25 minutes per treatment and the new CoolSculpting device takes about 35 minutes on most areas.

Treatment tolerability

SculpSure and CoolSculpting are both comfortable, non-invasive treatments. Many patients report little to no discomfort.

Effectiveness

Both SculpSure and CoolSculpting have been proven to reduce the fat layer. In clinical trials, both have shown to reduce the amount of fat by 20-25%.

Naturalness of results

SculpSure has applicators that lay flat and disperse heat to blend the reduced area with the surrounding tissue. CoolSculpting’s applicators “suction” the area to bring the treatment area closer to the cold temperature.

Can I have SculpSure if I have already had Liposuction or CoolSculpting?

Yes, SculpSure can be used to treat residual fat in areas that have been treated before with other modalities.
