SculpSure

It typically takes 12 weeks to see the full results of the SculpSure treatment. The flanks are a good area to treat and typically take 2 applicators on each side for best results. It is normal that you did not experience any side effects, as there should be no discomfort or irritation after the procedure. For many patients, a second treatment is necessary to get the desired results.&nbsp;

I am wondering if there is a possibility that the machine was not working properly during the treatment, as I hardly felt anything and had no side effects. Or maybe Sculpsure does not work well on that area. As I have spent a considerable amount of money for four modules I do want to get results. Your kind advice on this matter is much appreciated. Thanks Karine

About 9 weeks ago I had a Sculpsure treatment on the flanks but I am concerned as I still cannot see any fat loss? (photo)

The Sculpsure procedure takes 25 minutes with no downtime opposed to 60 minutes for CoolSculpting with at least a month of recovery time. The CoolSculpting procedure also requires at least an inch of “suction-able” fat for the treatment to be safe and effective. I suggest consulting with your doctor about the best option for you.&nbsp;

I eat healthily, exercise, and my stomach is still pretty flat. But, I have been noticing changes in my stomach specifically, though I haven't gained weight: my stomach is less toned, muscle definition is fading, and recently a little "pooch" is emerging. I am also noticing the skin getting a little bumpy in mid abdomen, above belly button, maybe cellulite? Don't have it elsewhere so not sure. More exercise hasn't helped, and I'm wondering which procedure can best address these changes. Thanks!

Is SculpSure or CoolSculpting right for me? A fit 37 y/o, BMI=21 with fading muscle definition and maybe a little cellulite.

SculpSure is intended to be a body contouring procedure and recommended treatment areas include the upper and lower abdomen, left and right love handle, inner and outer thigh, arms, and back. Consult with your doctor before using SculpSure on your ankles.&nbsp;

I've been told CoolScuplting is not effective for this area. What about SculpSure?

Patients with a history of HIV may require additional evaluation before proceeding with SculpSure. It is likely the SculpSure laser is safe to use with HIV positive patients, however I recommend consulting with your doctor before getting the treatment.&nbsp;

The SculpSure treatment kills 20-25% of the fat cells in the treated area and once a fat cell is killed, it will never regenerate. When those cells are gone, they do not come back. This means the treatment will last forever as long as it is maintained with a healthy diet and exercise. Because some fat cells will remain, it is possible to gain weight in the treated area if you don’t eat healthy and get regular exercise. The remaining fat cells could increase in size, diminishing the look of the SculpSure results.&nbsp;

Hello I'm a fit 22?years old I have a little fat on top of my abs and I'm considering sculpsure but would like to know are the results long lasting ?

How long does SculpSure last?

While it is possible for a patient to have redness, swelling, sensitivity, or some irritation or tenderness at the treatment site, most patients don’t have any discomfort at all. There is no down time following the procedure, meaning patients can resume all normal activities immediately after the procedure with no discomfort. Keep in mind you are not likely to see results until after 12 weeks. For many patients, multiple treatments are needed to achieve the desired results. People with a higher BMI may require more treatments than individuals with average or lower BMI’s.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi, im 26 years old , 5'5 125pds, did sculpsure last Wednesday on my flanks and I only felt a intense heating sensation on my right side(more fat there), now wondering if it worked cus i felt nothing afterwards and I Still feel nothing. Some say you feel sore or bumps but nope. Was I a bad candidate?It was very expensive and I would be incredibly distraught if it didn't work because I saved for this treatment. Also one side wasn't feeling as much discomfort when doing the treatment, weird?

No soreness or anything after SculpSure?

The fat cells that are killed during the SculpSure treatment will not regenerate. Once they are killed, they are gone for good. However, because SculpSure destroys 20-25% of the fat cells in the treatment area, some fat cells remain. It is possible to gain back weight after the treatment, but this is because the fat cells that were not destroyed can increase in size, not because the treated fat cells grew back. It is important to incorporate a healthy diet and exercise in order to maintain the results the treatment provided. An unhealthy diet and little to no exercise will lead to weight gain, which can occur in the treated area.&nbsp;

(1) When you gain weight after 3-4 treatments of SculpSure are you less likely to gain in the area where you had the treatments or do the remaining cells still grow? For example if normally you carry 5lbs on your stomach when you do SculpSure though you have lost up to/approx 72% of cells; do the remaining cells fill up to the 5lbs you would normally carry in that area? Or do they max out at a couple of pounds and then the remaining pounds gained distribute elsewhere?

How does any weight gain post SculpSure procedure distribute to your body?

Patients typically start to see the results of their SculpSure treatment as soon as 6 weeks, with the full effect to be achieved at 12 weeks. I suggest allowing the full 3 months to pass before following up with your doctor about your results. For an average-sized area, multiple treatments may be necessary, which may increase the time it takes to see full results. It is important to refer back to photos and measurements to see the change that occurred because patients often do not notice the gradual changes in their own bodies. Also, remember that individual results may vary. Some patients may see results sooner than others.&nbsp;

I had my second treatment of SculpSure two weeks ago. I haven't seen no difference.

There is no risk of developing cancer from SculpSure. &nbsp;As the other doctors mentioned, the laser frequencies used is not the type of radiation that is associated with cancer.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, lasers are often used to treat certain types of&nbsp;cancer.

Please explain. Heating cells change the DNA?

Is there any risk in SculpSure causing cancer?

The guideline from the clinical studies&nbsp;is to get the 2nd treatment no earlier than 6 weeks after the first treatment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our rule of thumb is to do the follow-on treatments 8 weeks or later.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;like to explain it like this. &nbsp;The SculpSure laser will target the fat cells.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the dead fat cells are still there (because you haven't given the body enough time to flush it), then the laser&nbsp;will be less effective to&nbsp;target new healthy fat cells because the dead fat cells will also be absorbing some of the laser energy.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the reason why you can't do 2 sessions back-to-back.&nbsp;&nbsp;6-8 weeks is generally enough time for most people to flush the dead cells...hence this is the recommendation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course, your mileage may vary because each body is different.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are not anxious and can wait the 12 weeks, there is no harm to waiting.

I had Sculpsure 4 weeks ago on my outer thighs. 2 treatments were recommended with 1 applicator to each thigh per treatment. I am 5'4" 110lbs so quite lean. I was going to wait to see if I see any difference before paying for the second treatment. Do results differ if you get the 2nd treatment at 6 weeks or 12+ weeks after the 1st?

Does timing between 1st and 2nd treatments for SculpSure make a difference in terms of better results?
