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.
