The average cost of Sculpsure at this time is $1500 for 4 paddles. Each paddle is about the size of an iPhone 5. The 4 paddles can be arranged in various combinations. The treatment takes 25 mins for each 4 paddles. Typically 4 paddles are used for the abdomen and 2-3 paddles for each flank. Obviously a small person will need less paddles in any given area than a large person. As of today, Sculpsure got 100% thumbs up on Real Self. As the news about this amazing technology gets out and the demand increases, the price may go up. Remember Sculpsure is not really a good technique for people who have very large amounts of fat in many body areas. It is excellent for people with BMIs of 25 or less for those stubborn areas that do not respond well to diet and exercise. Good luck, Dr. Sternschein.
Sculpsure is FDA approved for treatment of the abdomen and flanks. However, as with many devices and medications, physicians are allowed to use them for "off label" indications as long as the doctor and patient agree this is appropriate and safe. I have no problem treating the inner and outer thighs with Sculptsure as long as your skin is soft and there was enought fat to allow good contact with the paddles. Studies are currentlly underway to obtain FDA approval specifically for these areas. I expect approval will be granted in the future for not only thighs but also the back and arms.
