For the great majority of patients, SculpSure is not painful.&nbsp; It is generally very well tolerated by nearly every patient.&nbsp; However, every human being is a little different and rarely a SculpSure patient may be very sensitive to the heating of the fat. In these rare cases, the intensity of the laser beam should be reduced.&nbsp; The SculpSure laser allows for increasing or decreasing the laser intensity.&nbsp; Reducing the laser intensity should reduce the discomfort and make the procedure tolerable. Patients should confidently expect their SculpSure treatments to be safe, tolerable, effective, and relatively quick.&nbsp; In the rare case where a patient finds the procedure uncomfortable, the intensity of the laser should be reduced. Good luck to you. George Anterasian, MD

A reviewer on SculpSure said she found the heat cycles almost unbearable, and that it felt like someone was holding a fire under her arm! Why is no one talking about this???? Seems like this side effect exists, but no one is mentioning anything!???

Is SculpSure painful? Why is no one talking about this?

SculpSure will always be safer than liposuction because it is completely non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, has no cutting, no bruising, and no recovery.&nbsp; A completely non-invasive procedure will always be safer than an invasive procedure.&nbsp; Never-the-less, liposuction in skilled hands is also a very safe procedure. In our office, we always recommend a non-invasive procedure if we feel that it can give the desired result.&nbsp; If you are a good candidate for SculpSure,&nbsp; the non-invasive approach will help you to eliminate the small risk of fat embolism as well as the other risks associated with liposuction.&nbsp; Good luck to you. George Anterasian, MD

I am 6 months post tummy tuck and as per my doctor need touch up lipo however i am scared about the possible risk of fat embolism. I want to eliminate this risk altogether. Is it more safe for me to get non invasive fat reduction through SculpSure (Laser Fat Removal)

What is more safer to treat fat bulge after Tummy tuck? Sculpsure or Liposuction?

SculpSure is very safe 6 months after a tummy tuck.&nbsp; I do not think that the SculpSure applicator should be placed directly over the scar, but an experienced SculpSure doctor should be able to work around the scar. If you have bulges of fat after your tummy tuck and are otherwise a good candidate for SculpSure, the presence of a tummy tuck scar should not be a problem for you.&nbsp; I would expect you to have a very good result. Good luck to you. George Anterasian, MD

Is a SculpSure treatment safe 6 months post op tummy tuck? Will this treatment interfere with the tummy tuck scar?

It appears from your pictures that you are an excellent candidate for SculpSure.&nbsp; You are generally fit, are close to your ideal weight, and have a pocket of fat that you cannot get rid of in spite of a good exercise program. I recommend you make an appointment for a consultation with a skilled SculpSure physician to confirm that you are a good candidate.&nbsp; By the way, both SculpSure and Coolsculpting "work" when the procedures are done on appropriately selected patients.&nbsp; If you are confirmed to be a good candidate, I would expect you to have a very good result from your treatment. Good luck to you. George Anterasian, MD

I've been hitting the gym 2-4 days a week for 3 years. My body fat is in the 10-12 range and I can't loose this pouch on my lower abs. I'm confidant that I can loose it but I like the use of killin the fat so it stays gone. I was thinking of Sculpsure or cool sculpting but from the pictures I see it doesn't really look like it works

What would you recommend to remove the fat from my stomach? (photo)

Yes, he would have to shave his body hair.&nbsp; If left in place, the hair would interfere with the laser beam penetrating the skin and entering the fat.&nbsp; However, this hair should grow back fairly quickly.&nbsp; Shaving it is a minimal inconvenience. Good luck to your husband. George Anterasian, MD

My hubby would like to have Sculpsure after seeing my incredible results. Would he have to shave hair on his abdomen area to have this service done? Obviously, that was not an issue for me, but a sticking point for him.

Body hair and Sculpsure?



This is an excellent
question.&nbsp; Coolsculpting reduces fat by
freezing it for one hour and SculpSure reduces fat by heating it for 25
minutes.&nbsp; Both treatments reduce fat by
20-25% in the treated areas.
One of the advantages of
SculpSure is that patients do not experience the long-lasting numbness that
some Coolsculpting patients have had.&nbsp; In addition, because SculpSure heats the tissues there may be some
collagen stimulation and skin tightening with that treatment.&nbsp; Lastly, some patients following
CoolSculpting have had paradoxical growth of fat instead of fat reduction, and
this has not happened with SculpSure.
For all these reasons our office
usually prefers that a patient’s first treatment be done with SculpSure and not with
CoolSculpting.&nbsp; However,
there is a place for both treatments and I recommend going to an office that
has both devices so that during the consultation the best device is chosen for
each individual patient.
Good luck to you.

What is the difference in results for SculpSure Laser Fat Loss vs. Coolsculpting? Is one better than the other? I recently completed, one "round" of Coolsculpting of flank, abdomen, inner and outer thigh and back, spread out over an 18 month period due to cost. My weight has remained about the same over that time period and I have to say I'm not overly impressed with Coolsculpting. I see some slight changes but the biggest reduction has been in my wallet.

What is the difference in results for SculpSure Laser Fat Loss vs. Coolsculpting?

Your SculpSure treatment should
be straightforward. Your doctor should
examine you and determine which areas of fat will be treated.Then, the SculpSure applicators are placed
onto the skin and secured into position over the areas of fat that are undergoing
treatment.
Once the treatment is started,
you will feel a building of heat.The
sensation of heat is quite tolerable.In addition, SculpSure incorporates cooling of the skin surface in order
to protect the skin from excessive heating.The heating of the fat and the cooling of the skin occur cyclically
throughout the 25-minute treatment.Patients will feel this heating and cooling during their treatments but
the treatment is comfortable and quite easy to tolerate.The amount of heating can be adjusted in
order to ensure that the treatment remains comfortable at all times.SculpSure is a treatment that should be very
easy to tolerate.
Patients leave the office immediately
after the treatment ends and can resume all of their normal activities.There are no restrictions and there is absolutely
no downtime after a SculpSure treatment.Results become visible over the next two months.
SculpSure represents a
significant advance in the science of non-surgical body contouring and fat
reduction.It is a new procedure that patients can have confidence in.

What would you tell a person who is worried about potential pain both during and after the treatment.

What can be expected from the first SculpSure treatment?

The ideal SculpSure patient is a
healthy man or woman who is near their ideal body weight and who has bulges of fat that
cannot be reduced with diet and exercise.SculpSure in these patients can take away the fat bulges and improve the
contour and shape of the body.
For patients like these,
SculpSure is a great option because they will see results from a procedure that only takes 25 minutes and has
no downtime.&nbsp;&nbsp;George Anterasian, MD Santa Monica Laser and Skin Care Center

Who is the ideal candidate for Sculpsure?

Could I get my saddlebags and
love handles treated at the same time? 
Yes, you can have your saddlebags
and love handles treated at the same time, but it may require two
treatments.But, because the treatment
only takes 25 minutes, there is no problem with doing a second treatment on the
same day.
The SculpSure device has four
treatment applicators that are applied to the skin over the fat that is to be
treated.Most likely it will take 2
applicators for each love handle and two applicators for each saddlebag.So, in two SculpSure treatments on the same
day, you can have both areas treated!
I recommend you see an expert in
non-surgical body contouring who will customize a treatment for you based upon
the size of your saddlebags and love handles.
Good luck to you!

Can the saddle bags and love handles be treated at the same time?

SculpSure may be the best option
for you.The SculpSure applicators can
be placed precisely on top of your saddlebags.This allows a very accurate treatment to be delivered and should result
in a reduction in the size of the saddlebags.
However, CoolSculpting is another
good method for reducing saddlebags.I
recommend you see a doctor who has both devices so that in your consultation
the best option for you is selected.
Good luck to you!

Is SculpSure the best treatment option for trouble spots that won't go away with a healthy diet and exercise?

Is SculpSure the best treatment option for small saddle bags?
