Which is the best non invasive permanent fat reduction procedure for thighs?

Since most of the doctors answering these types of questions have a SculpSure device, you are going to get biased answers possibly. SculpSure is relatively new, and I am reluctant to make any superiority claims, particularly since I have no experience with the other devices you mention, other than hearsay, which should not be relied upon.I feel that SculpSure is an outstanding advance in non-invasive body contouring because of comfort, convenience, repeatability and cost.  This is a treatment that only takes 25 minutes, and you do not have to be frozen like a popsicle, which can't feel that good.

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is revolutionary for its non-surgical, non-invasive treatment process that can reduce up to 25% of your difficult to lose subcutaneous fat in 25 minutes. There is absolutely no downtime associated with this procedure. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. 

Best wishes,

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 her 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,

It is difficult to make a specific recommendation without seeing a photograph of the area but there are preferred devices based on your area of treatment and having little fat on your inner thighs. The most effective treatments for inner thighs are Sculpsure and Coolsculpting. Sculpsure has the advantage of no downtime, faster treatment time, and ease of applicator placement in this area. Both procedures usually require 1-2 treatments per area. Please consult a board certified dermatologist of plastic surgeon experienced in these devices. 

Without photos it is impossible to give you the best opinion.  I suggest seeing an expert who uses and has all the devices.  Best, Dr. Emer.
