Does SculpSure damage muscle? Can it be used for the upper back?

FitButFlab
How deep does the laser reach? Can it damage muscle? How about passing through muscle if not damaging it? I would like to treat my upper back since I tend to store my stubborn fat there. But since the FDA has only approved for abs & flanks, I'd be worried that it would reach my breast fat & destroy what little I have. I'm the skinny-fat type, no matter how much weight lifting & cardio I do.
