Q: Is there swelling and pain with SculpSure, and for how long?
Answered by Lisa GrissimSeptember 23, 2018
A: We have performed many SculpSure treatments in our office over the last 2 1/2 years. Pain with the treatments is highly variable depending on the area treated and the pain tolerance of the patient. We have had patients nap through the procedure and then had others find it difficult to complete. Post treatment, the area can be tender to touch for a short period of time. I believe the experience level of the technician contributes to how comfortable the procedure is.
There can be swelling in the area treated but it resolves rather quickly. Our experience with SculpSure has led us to recommend a minimum of 2 treatments in the treated area for optimal results.
SculpSure is a great treatment for the patient that desires body contouring without invasive measures.
