Body sculpting works by apoptosis, liposuction by removal of the cells. In both cases the body cannot regenerate new fat cells. However, if there is weight gain due to excessive calories, the body will find a place to store the fat. That may mean you will gain fat in other areas or that the remaining fat cells in the area treated could expand. To prevent this, it is best to be at a stable weight for a few months before treatment.

Hello: I was reading online that it is possible for the fat cells that have been destroyed by these two technologies to come back if a person gains weight (and I hear this is also the case for liposuction). I read that the body can make new fat cells in the treated areas and other areas of the body if a persons calorie intake is high. Therefore, results are only permanent if a person maintains a healthy eating habit and a stable body weight. Is this true?? Thank you !

Can fat come back after SculpSure or CoolSculpting?

SculpSure

After your procedure, your body clears away the destroyed fat cells. This process may take some time. It can take 6-12 weeks to see full results, and you might need several procedures to achieve your desired goal.
*Individual results may vary

How long does SculpSure take to see results?

Thank you very much for your question. Sculpsure will cause destruction of the fat cells by a process called apoptosis, which is natural and usually takes about 6-8 weeks a majority of the healing to take place. Much of the reasoning behind dimpling would be if the laser was placed too close to the belly button, dehydration, or placed over an area of a tattoo.&nbsp; As long as the laser was not improperly placed over the skin, these dimples should resolve within 8-12 weeks as the skin and the underlying fat around the area migrates to fill in where the treatment occurred.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello, I’ve read that one of the side effects of SculpSure is dimpling. I had my 2nd round of SculpSure done a couple days ago (9 month interval). It was performed at the highest setting. I have a small depression on my lower left abdomen where I was treated along with mild swelling around it. I’m wondering if you generally would expect the dimple to become increasingly pronounced as the swelling subsides and if dimples caused by SculpSure are permanent. I have no skin laxity. Thanks

Had my 2nd round of SculpSure and have a depression on my left abdomen. Are dimples caused by SculpSure permanent?
