SculpSure vs. UltraShape Power. Which one is more effective in fat elimination, and which one is safer?

Question

SculpSure vs. UltraShape Power (the upgraded version of UltraShape), some honest suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Which one is better in terms of the final results (will be used to treat abdomen fat)? Which one is better in terms of the safety level (clinical trials results, historical data and long term safety issues ie. damage to nerves etc.)? As long as it is safe, comfort level during the treatment will not be my major concern Thank you so much for your invaluable time and help.

Hi Lainey. After evaluating multiple non-surgical fat reduction treatments over the years, I can tell you that in my opinion the most effective and consistent results are with Coolsculpting which uses cold temperatures to freeze and kill fat cells. However, keep in mind that these devices are all just tools which will lead to different results in different hands. More important that the device is the knowledge and experience of the physician performing the procedure. Make sure you see an experienced physician for an in-person consultation and examination to determine if any of these treatments are right for you. Best wishes.

We have utilized Sculpsure in our practice and have been pleased with the results.  There has been countless clinical studies with 1060 nm wavelength (Sculpsure) and we have even utilized it for submental fat (fat under the chin).  I have not worked with Ultrashape, but the difference is ultrashape utilizes ultrasound and sculpsure utilizes a laser wavelength.Sculpsure is a 25 min treatment and we recommend 2-3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart.   Both options can target fat, but do not have data on Ultrasound power to compare.  With any device it is important to know that body contouring is best served for the subcutaneous (pinchable) fat and will not be effective for the visceral fat (fat around organs),  It is also important to know that while we love body contouring for the extra areas of fat that are bothersome to patients, diet modifications and exercise are step one and then body contouring for the areas that cannot be minimized with diet and exercise.  Hope that helps!
