CLAIM YOUR PROFILESculpSure does not penetrate past the peritoneum, it only targets the fat cells above the muscle. Therefore, it does not have an effect deep enough to have caused your appendicitis.

Yes, you can get SculpSure treatments while taking Ciprofloxacin. If you are concerned about photosensitivity with the medication, there is no contraindication to its use with SculpSure.
Physician
I do not believe that SculpSure treatments will have any effect on your fasting blood sugar levels.

Although Cynosure does set a minimum price for SculpSure treatments, ultimately the prices in your region will be determined by the supply and demand.

A hernia could possibly be reached by the depth of the laser thereby causing damage to the hernia. Of course, this is only an issue if you want to treat the area around the hernia.

Thank you for the question. Although MLT internal treatments are generally well-tolerated, the external treatment can be uncomfortable. However, a topical cream can be applied to the area prior to treatment to significantly reduce your discomfort. There's no reason to be alarmed by the "burning" smell. Guidelines for MLT treatments suggest subsequent sessions be scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart. I would recommend pushing your next session back rather than moving it forward. Best of luck! You made a great decision with the MonaLisa Touch.

You made the right choice by selecting a provider that uses the PicoSure laser for tattoo removal. Although no one can guarantee you how many sessions it will take to completely clear your tattoo, the PicoSure will likely clear it in half the number of treatments compared to Nano-speed lasers and with better overall results. Best of luck!

It will take several treatments to clear your tattoo. No one can tell you exactly how many. However, some technology will clear your tattoo in fewer treatments and without damage to the surrounding tissue. I encourage you to research the difference between Pico and Nano technology before making your final decision. With regard to price, most providers price tattoo removal based on the amount of time it will take per session. A good consultation will be able to give you an exact cost per session. I encourage you to find a provider in your area that offers tattoo removal with a PicoSure laser.

Even though small, the process of removal will still require more than one treatment. Most providers have a base price for tattoo removal, the minimum charge required to set up the laser for use. At my practice, that minimum charge allows for 15 minutes of treatment time. That is more than enough to treat these small tattoos. Those minimum charges typically range from $120 to $200. No one can tell you how many treatments it will take to clear your tattoo. However, some technology can clear it faster. When considering tattoo removal, research the difference between Pico and Nano technology. For example, even though we can't tell you how many treatments it will take, a Pico laser will typically clear it in half the number of treatments it will take with a Nano laser.

I had a hyperhidrosis treatment done at the Findlay Med Spa. Carmen and her staff did an awesome job during and after the procedure. I had absolutely no pain during and after the procedure, they were right on when they said the worst part was my arm pit hair growing back in. I would recommend to anyone thinking about having this done. I was constantly sweating without exerting any energy and would worry about people seeing big pit stains in my shirts, now I don't have to worry about that!
