Any appreciable results from SculpSure after 2-3 weeks? How bad is swelling at that point?

This is a great question.  
Sculpsure helps eliminate unwanted body fat and improve body contour. The procedure uses laser technology to remove fat cells on the abdomen and flanks. We can treat multiple zones of fat simultaneously in less than 30 minutes. You will see results in as little as six weeks and improvements continue over many months. There is no downtime but there can be some swelling, tenderness and firmness at the treatment site which usually resolves within 2 weeks. You may need to have a series of treatments for optimum results.
If you would like to learn more about the procedure I recommend an in person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training.

Thank you for your question. Most patients tend to see fat in 6-12 weeks after just on treatment. The body reduces the unwanted fat over time but successive treatments tend to shorten the time that patients can expect to see fat reduction. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

In my experience, there is minimal swelling after sculpture treatment. Some results my be seen in 2 to 3 weeks, but for the best results, at least 2 treatments are required. It can take up to 12 weeks to see the final results.

It will take 3-6 months for final results and with Sculpsure  and a combination of treatments is needed for best results. I recommend combining Sculpsure or coolsculpting with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. A VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results with fat removal and athletic definition but would require more downtime.  You can go to a beach vacation a week after coolscultping/sculpsure.  See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

I would not count on seeing any results 2-3 weeks after a SculpSure treatment.  It can take up to 3 months to see the full effect and most people need at least two treatment sessions to obtain the desired results.  I really have not seen anyone have noticeable swelling after the treatment, so I would say you should have no swelling 2-3 weeks after the procedure.  

Hope you enjoyed your vacation and are not considering SculpSure again.  Doing the procedure before the vacation would have been fine too...if you get results, you get results.  If not, you'll get it after the vacation.  
Realistically, results start to show in 6-8 weeks and it can take up to 12 weeks for the final results to set in.  Also remember that many people, even healthy and lean people, end up opting for 2-3 treatments to be even 'happier'.  
You will be ready for summer and your next vacation! :)

Ideally you won't start to see result until 6-12 weeks from your treatment and most patients desire 2 treatments. However, one of my employee's did notice some results on her abdomen after 1 week.  She was very diligent with drinking LOTS and LOTS of water and massaging the area 5-6 times a day for 5+minutes.  She also used our Vibrawave machine 3 times a week to increase lymphatic drainage.  
The results at 1 week were nothing in comparison to her treat to complete images taken 12 weeks after her second treatment, but were definitely noticable. 

Some patients see results in 3-6 weeks, but for most, it takes 8-13 weeks. Also, most patients require two treatments. However, the sooner you start, the sooner you'll see flatter abs. 

Each person responses differently. You may notice improvement at 2-3 weeks. We have had several patients noticing a difference in the way their clothes fit. It will take a full 12 weeks to see full results. Swelling after Sculpsure is very minimal, most patients do not complain of having any swelling at all. Hope this helps.

You may see some slight decrease after a few weeks but will not see optimal results for 6-12 weeks. But the sooner you start the sooner you will see results, so might as well start now !
