Yes, arnica, lasers (ProYellow, Excel V, VBeam and microneedling/prp will improve red marks. Keep in mind, with Sculpsure, a combination of treatments is needed. I recommend combining Sculpsure with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. We currently use a fire and ice treatment with Coolsculpting and Vanquish for good results in fat removal. However, a VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results with fat removal, contouring and definition. Cost will vary. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Remember to massage the treated area for at least 5 minutes several times a day.
Mild inflammation is expected after sculpsure especially if there are stretch marks in the area treated. Also small lumps or tenderness is common initially. Be sure to gently massage the area daily and stay well hydrated. Arnica should be fine to apply to the area after 2-3 days and usually will reduce any bruising. Discuss the redness with your provider to ensure that a small amount of pinching with the frames is avoided- this likely could have resulted in the redness that you describe.
SculpSure is an FDA approved laser that permanently destroys up to 25% of fat cells in the treated area. To determine if you may have loose skin after the treatment, it is best to consult with a Board Ceritified Plastic Surgeon who can assess the quality of your skin. Strech marks are...
While rare, it is normal to develop nodules after SculpSure treatment. They are clumps of dead fat cells that can go away with massage and drinking lots of water. Since yours have not resolved with massage after 6 months, a fat dissolving treatment such as Cellutone is advised.
Thank you for your question. SculpSure is a body contouring procedure that is meant to create a slimmer appearance. You can review other treatments to break down scar tissue damage. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,
