I saw Dr. Ngo for SculpSure treatments in the fall because of asymmetrical fat distribution on my belly that has plagued me since I was a teenager. I had pretty much lost hope that anything was going to help even it out as I had tried many different treatments and weight loss protocols over the years. Even when I've been leaner, the asymmetry was still obvious.
When Dr. Ngo and his technician told me about SculpSure, I felt excited about the prospect of doing a treatment that could destroy the fat in a noninvasive way (laser) and had a reputation for much more even results than with fat freezing treatments. I'm so grateful I did it!
After only two treatments (waiting approximately six weeks between sessions and about six more weeks afterward before I saw the full effect), my results are DRAMATIC. It's still not 100% even, but it's so much more even that I don't think anyone else would notice the asymmetry but me. My belly is overall leaner and the treated area blends in perfectly with the surrounding area- no lumps or uneven places at all.
As others have said, the treatment was totally tolerable, and they adjust the intensity to what is comfortable for you. I was able to go do a vigorous workout right after the treatment with no problems whatsoever. In fact, Dr. Ngo said that exercise after the procedure could be beneficial, as moving the lymph system would help to drain the dead fat cells from the treated area.
Dr. Ngo and his SculpSure technician are an amazing team. They made sure I was well informed and comfortable the whole time.
As as holistic health practitioner myself, I so appreciate Dr. Ngo's overall integrative, functional, and holistic approach to medicine, and have referred clients of mine to see him when they needed to see an MD and/or had physical issues that were beyond my scope of practice. I am so grateful for Smart Medicine SF, and highly recommend them!
