Can the sculpsure procedure be done off-label on the upper arms? If so, how many applicators would need to be applied for someone who has about 1.5 inches of pinchable upper arm fat?

Answer: SculpSure for arms SculpSure could be performed on the arms, but you are correct in that it would be considered an off-label use. Everyone is different, so it is difficult without an exam to determine how many applicators you might need to treat your arms. I would say for most people, one per side could be sufficient and would be surprised if someone needed more than two per side.

Answer: Sculpsure for arms - YES but depends on the size! We have successfully used Sculpsure for arms (non FDA approved indication) but results vary. A thorough evaluation to ensure that there is enough fat to evoke a reaction to laser and strategic placement of adapters is necessary to achieve optimal results. Typically a series of 2-3 treatments is necessary followed by at least 3 months of wait before judging results! Hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr B
