I was told SculpSure treatments break down scar tissue damage. Could this help?

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.

SculpSure treatments are designed to target fat cells and have no effect on improving scar tissue. There are alternative treatments available to address scar tissue so I would consult with a specialist for recommendations.

SculpSure is a laser treatment that specifically targets fat cells. Meaning, the laser is set to a frequency that kills fat cells. Scar tissue, at least on a microscopic level, looks very different from fat cells, and so the laser setting is not meant to affect it. 
So, basically, I would not recommend SculpSure as a way to address scar tissue damage. You may want to consult with a surgeon, who can offer you alternate solutions.
Good luck!

in the word no. SculpSure targets fat cells with a laser and skin including scar tissue on the skin is indivisible/trans parent to the laser. The heating action of the laser passes through the skin and will not alter scar tissue. What you were told perhaps was misinterpreted at best, or  untrue.

Thanks for your question.  Whoever told you that SculpSure would break down scar tissue is lying.  It's a 1060nm laser that has a high affinity for fat.  We would use the 755nm PicoSure, 1540nm Icon or a 10600nm Fractional Co2 laser for tummy tuck scars.  As wavelength goes up, so does intensity and down time.  Find a doctor's office that has several options.  Best of luck.

Sculpsure will absolutely NOT breakdown scar tissue. It will decrease fat which may be around the scar tissue but don't expect it to change the scar tissue. david berman md
