Can I still get Sculpsure if I have two 8 inch titanium rods in my back from a fractured spine 20 years ago?

Yes, because the laser does not transmit, nor do the rods absorb any laser energy.  The 1060 wavelength laser penetrates deeply enough to kill the unwanted fat cells, but does not transmit heat anywhere else, so no problem.

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is intended to address subcutaneous fat and is not designed to dive deep enough to interrupt your titanium rods. It is very important that you rely on the in-person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy. Results are gradual as the body eliminates the unwanted fat over time.

Best wishes,

Sculpsure will not affect your spine, if there is nothing in the treatment area you are fine.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes you can have Sculpsure if you have metal rods in your back but I wouldn't recommend having Sculpsure on your back. Sculpsure is a laser based treatment that will focus on heating the fat a couple of centimeters below the skin in order to kil the day cells. It focuses on an area roughly the size of a smart phone screen for each pod used. So as long as the traent is not in close proximity to the rods the treaent will not affect them. 

Yes, a SculpSure treatment can be done to the abdomen (tummy) when there are titanium rods in the spine.  The heat produced by the laser will only penetrate to the fat layer beneath the skin of the abdomen and not reach anywhere near the spine.  

It should be fine for you to get SculpSure even with the titanium rods in your back. The laser penetrates only about an inch which affects the fat but not your muscles, organs or bones. Hope this helps. 

SculpSure is a laser which targets fat and is unaffected by metal implants in the body, however you should meet with a Board Certified Dermatologist in your area to ensure you are a candidate for the procedure. 

Hello - sculpsure only penetrates to the deep fascia, which is very superficial to the titanium rods in your skeleton.  Sculpsure should be completely safe for you.  You may also consider planking and swimming if you can do those things.  Good luck!

The laser energy in the Sculpsure treatments only penetrates perhaps an inch or so into the fat.Deeper rods or tissues will not be heated with the laser treatment.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can still get the SculpSure
procedure. It will not affect your spine. SculpSure uses a hyperthermic laser
fat removal system that directs laser energy into your desired areas. The laser
energy heats the fat cells and surrounding tissues which is only the
subcutaneous fat layer (upper layers of fat). The laser does not go deeper than
the subcutaneous layer, so it will not affect the rods in your spine.
