About SculpSure®

Overview

SculpSure is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses laser technology to target and reduce stubborn fat cells. The procedure involves applying applicators that emit laser energy to the treatment area. The laser energy heats the fat cells, damaging their structural integrity without harming the surrounding tissues. Over time, the lymphatic system naturally eliminates the damaged fat cells from the body.

Advantages

Compared to other non-invasive fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting, SculpSure offers faster treatment sessions and the ability to treat multiple areas simultaneously. However, SculpSure may have a slight advantage in terms of skin-tightening effects.

Pros
  • Non-invasive: SculpSure is a non-surgical procedure requiring no incisions or anesthesia. This reduces the risks associated with surgery and allows quicker recovery.
  • Quick treatment sessions: Each SculpSure session typically takes only 25 minutes, making it convenient for individuals with busy schedules. Multiple areas can be treated simultaneously, further reducing the overall treatment time.
  • Minimal discomfort: While some patients may experience a warm or tingling sensation during the procedure, SculpSure is generally well-tolerated and does not cause significant pain. Most people can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
  • Effective fat reduction: SculpSure has been clinically proven to reduce stubborn fat cells by up to 24% in treated areas. The results are noticeable, and multiple sessions can be performed for further improvement.
  • Versatility: SculpSure can be used to target fat deposits in various areas of the body, including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), back, thighs, and under the chin. This versatility allows for personalized treatment plans to address specific problem areas.
Cons
  • Limited skin tightening: While SculpSure primarily focuses on fat reduction, it does not provide significant skin tightening effects. Individuals with loose or sagging skin may require additional treatments or alternative procedures to achieve optimal results.
  • Multiple sessions: While some patients may see noticeable results after a SculpSure session, most individuals require multiple treatments to achieve their desired outcome. Typically, a series of two or three sessions, spaced several weeks apart, is recommended.
  • Not suitable for significant weight loss: SculpSure is designed for individuals with small pockets of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss solution for individuals with obesity or those seeking dramatic fat reduction.
  • Potential side effects: Although rare, some individuals may experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area. These usually resolve on their own within a few days to weeks.
What to Expect

During the treatment, the applicators deliver continuous cooling to keep the skin comfortable and protect it from excessive heat. This ensures a safe and controlled heating of the fat cells. The laser energy targets the fatty tissue beneath the skin, leaving the surface layer unaffected.

The SculpSure treatment typically takes around 25 minutes per targeted area. Multiple areas can be treated in a single session. Results are not immediate, as it takes time for the body to eliminate the damaged fat cells. Most individuals start to see noticeable improvements within 6 to 12 weeks after the treatment, with optimal results appearing around 12 weeks post-treatment.

SculpSure is intended for reducing fat in specific areas and is not a weight loss solution. It works best on individuals with a healthy lifestyle and relatively stable weight who seek to address localized pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise.

Recovery

The results of SculpSure can be long-lasting, but it’s important to note that the procedure does not prevent future weight gain or fat accumulation in treated areas. With that said, if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight after your SculpSure treatment, the results can last for several years.

SculpSure works by destroying fat cells in targeted areas. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they are naturally processed and eliminated from the body over time. Since fat cells do not regenerate, the treated areas will have fewer fat cells, leading to a more sculpted appearance.

The longevity of SculpSure results can depend on factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices, and overall health. Your provider may recommend regular follow-up treatments to enhance and maintain the desired outcome.

Results

The number of treatments needed with SculpSure can vary depending on individual goals and the specific treatment area. Generally, multiple sessions are recommended to achieve optimal results. Most patients undergo two to three treatments spaced about 2 to 12 weeks apart. 

SculpSure does not provide immediate fat reduction. After the treatment, the body needs time to naturally eliminate the targeted fat cells. Results typically become noticeable around 6 to 12 weeks after the final treatment. However, some individuals may see changes as early as four weeks post-treatment.

Having realistic expectations and understanding that individual results may vary is important. Some individuals may require additional treatments or may experience more gradual changes.

Safety Profile

Good candidates for SculpSure

  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less: SculpSure is not designed for significant weight loss but for individuals already close to their ideal weight with localized pockets of fat.
  • Have specific areas of unwanted fat: SculpSure is effective for targeting fat in the abdomen, flanks (love handles), hips, thighs, back, etc.
  • Have good skin elasticity: The treatment works best when the skin can contract and tighten after fat reduction. 
  • Are in good overall health: Candidates should be free from any underlying medical conditions that may interfere with the treatment or healing.
  • Have realistic expectations: While it can effectively reduce fat in targeted areas, it may not result in dramatic changes or significant weight loss. It is best suited for individuals already close to their desired weight and looking for subtle body contouring improvements.

It is always recommended to consult with a qualified medical professional or licensed SculpSure provider to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
