Although Dr. Rezk was very friendly, the Sculpsure procedure that I had was not done on the specific area I requested. I asked for my outer thighs (with my right thigh being the most important), and specifically showed him exactly where on my legs that I wanted results. He didn't position the lasers directly on that location therefore there was not much improvement at all. Instead I had *slight* improvement on the back on my thigh were there wasn't much fat and I wasn't concerned about.At my final visit to take pictures, he admitted that he should have placed the lasers in the spot I requested (where they would wrap around to the area that needed the most treatment). He then went on to tell me that he would have to charge an additional $600 for another treatment to do anything more. It seems he needs more experience in using the SculpSure to truly help with specific treatment areas requested by the client/patient.
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.
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.

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. 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.
