Developed paradoxical adipose hyperplasia after CoolScuplting on my stomach. Non-invasive procedure to help with his?

guero1026Apr 17, 2022

SculpSure has not been shown to cause PAH. It is difficult to tell what might be causing the issue you are having after your SculpSure treatments without examining you.

Yes it would if you were too close. The multiple applicators are spaced slightly apart but enough to blend the applicator areas. If you moved the paddles about an inch away it would be unlikely to be strong enough to affect the area under the nipple. Even if it did affect it peripherally, the...
