Sculpsure - If I see results quickly, will I still see future improvement after 6 weeks? (Photos)

Thank you for your question. Results from SculpSure are typically seen at 6 weeks with the final result being at 12 weeks. At the 6 week mark if you want a second treatment you can receive it at that point. That's great that your already seeing results but you can still have more to go! Keep up with the diet and exercising!

Thank you for your question.

Sculpsure is a noninvasive 1060nm diode laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.
The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. 
The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health.
The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It is protective since it alternates heating and cooling. 
It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. 
If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12. 

If you notice lumps after (which I've never seen) I would recommend massage. You should also alert your surgeon.

There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.

Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of our patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatment

Since I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. 
I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results. 

I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.

Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals. 

Take care,

Thank you for your question. It is great to hear that you have experienced results within 2 weeks - that type of great timeline is common. You are very likely to continue to see improvement as you move closer to the 6-12 week post op recovery mark. Always consult in person with a board certified facial plastic surgeon and please keep your surgeon updated as to your progress.

Best wishes,

SculpSure typically takes 6 to 12 weeks to see results. Although it is gradual so it is not surprising that you are seeing results at 10 days. Keeping up a healthy diet and workout regimen helps to maintain and further your result. 

Although CynoSure (makers of SculpSure) does not make those claims, I have seen patients get results much faster than the 6-12 weeks reported in the company's literature.  Based on the science of tissue injury and healing, I would expect you to continue to see improvement over this time-course, even though you are already seeing some results this quickly.  Make sure not to gain any weight, however, as this can confound your results.  It looks to me like you will be among the very happy SculpSure patients - yay!!

It is possible to see some improvement a few weeks after a SculpSure treatment, but I would say it takes 3-4 months to see the full results.  Since your procedure was done approximately a month ago, I would say it is likely you will still see some improvement with more time.  

It can take anywhere from 3-13 weeks to see your SculpSure results so you may see some further improvement. And you should not expect to see any weight loss. But you will see a change in the shape of your body. Hope this helps. You look terrific.

Some patients do reports seeing results early; however the optimal results are seen at 12 weeks. I would expect you to see continued improvement!

Full results from a SculpSure treatment take approximately 6 to 12 weeks, but you will see gradual improvements along the way as you are now. Continue with your healthy lifestyle for optimal results!

Hello Cathy8743,Yes! You will continue to see results up to 12 weeks. Sounds like you are doing everything right. Keep it up and your before and after pics look great!Best to you, Dr Faraz
