Number of SculpSure treatments. Is four treatments in the same area too many?

If you are requiring 4 treatments in an area, are you a better candidate for liposuction.  It would be difficult to answer this question without a personal consultation to determine your needs.

Thank you for your question. It is important to consider if you are reaching or getting closer to your aesthetic goals with each treatment. You and your board certified facial plastic surgeon should work closely to creating and executing a treatment plan tailored to you to reach your goals.
Best wishes,

Generally, 3 treatments are required for the best results. Sometimes only 1 or 2 treatments can make a significant improvement. I would wait at least 6 months following your last sculpsure procedure before doing a 4th. Fat destruction and body contouring can take several months before seeing the best results.

SculpSure treatments are commonly repeated to the same area to obtain improved results.  There is not a limit to the number of treatments that can be performed to an area, so 4 treatments would not be considered too many.  

Four treatments is not too many for SculpSure. In theory, you can continue to treat the area until you are satisfied with your results. However, I do recommend after 3 treatments on the same area you wait one year before retreating. 

Not at all! The real question here is, are you seeing an improvement and how much more fat do you need to eliminate to reach your goal? If you are seeing improvement, but are still not at your goal shape, then keep treating! There is no harm in having many treatments as long as you still have fat to remove and your treatments are spaced at least 6 weeks apart. SculpSure's motto is "treat to complete." Keep going until you achieve the shape you desire.

Hello Cg7734,
The number of treatments depends on the patient. There is no harm in treating the same area multiple times to achieve the body sculpting you desire. 
Best to you!

Thank you for your question.  SculpSure is a great way to reduce unwanted fat but it may take multiple uses for certain patients. As long as you are treating the same area every 6-8 weeks apart than you can continue treatments until you see the results you want.  Our patients generally start with two sessions and many are satisfied with that. Please discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon for the best treatment for your specific needs. 

In theory a person could have as many treatments with SculpSure in the same area of the body as they would like.  They should be spaced at least six weeks apart, but I generally prefer 10-12 weeks.  In practice, if the clinical situation would suggest that it would take more than two SculpSure treatments in the same region to achieve the desired result, then a more cost-effective treatment option would probably include other techniques including liposuction and other surgical approaches.

You can have the same area treated as many times as it takes to get the results that you desire. You do, however, want to schedule your treatments 6-8 weeks apart and keep in mind that it may take anywhere from 8-13 weeks to see your final results. Best of luck.
