I am reading many reviews here, and most are saying they did not have pain with this treatment. I had my first treatment to the abdomen 2 days ago, and it was extremely painful. I would compare the feeling to labor pain. I felt very sick and was ready to pass out the pain was so intense. I have minimal weight to lose 15 to 20 lbs. Wondering how this process only targets fat cells and does not disturb internal organs, and why I had so much pain from the process.

Answer: SculpSure only targets the subcutaneous fat cells SculpSure uses a diode laser which generate optical radiation (1060 nm) that specifically targets the subcutaneous adipocytes (fat cells). It penetrates less than 1 cm beneath your skin and not deep enough to reach any internal organs. Regarding your pain... we have treated many patients (including myself) and it definitely should not be painful. Everyone has different tolerance to heat that's why this device has different energy setting to adjust (from 0.9 to 1.4 W/cm2), with the default setting at 1.1. Furthermore, there are 4 applicators per treatment and the energy level can actually be adjusted individually to further customized to each specific area. One thing is that your practitioner has to "un-link" before the treatment started, otherwise, all the 4 applicators would have to be adjusted together (as with the current firmware). If adjusting to the lowest setting is still not comfortable enough for you, you can ask him/her to press the "advance-to-cool" button, which will then cool you down immediately and last for 40 secs. I used this function twice and both my patients tolerated well and finished the treatment successfully. Hope this helps!
