How large is one SculpSure applicator?

I appreciate your question.Sculpsure comes with 4 applicators. The advantage is that they can be placed strategically where you need them to work. They also destroy fat about 2 inches around them.About 2.5 applicators = 1 coolsculpting.Most people use 2 applicators at a time for each love handleThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your question.  The applicators measure 6 x 4 cm's.  While it can be used in 4 different areas at once, typically they are used in one area such as the abdomen or 2 on each love handle.  Therefore, you can treat both love handles in 25 minutes.  This would take 2 hours to do with coolsculpting and without the pain and numbness seen with coolsculpting.  The abdomen can be treated in a single 25 minute session.  There is some variability depending on the patients size so it may take 50 minutes.  This is compared to coolsculpting taking anywhere from 4-6 hours.  (4-6 treatments 1 hour each session) 

Each applicator is 3.5 x 2 inches, or 5 x 9 cm  When you use the four array together, you treat an area 3.5 x 8 inches which nicely treats an upper or lower abdomen, or  both flanks. When both flanks are treated, two applicators are usually used on each side. The laser energy spreads out so the area of treatment blends into the untreated area, avoiding a step-off irregularity. You can see from the before and after pictures that the treatment is quite effective.

Sculpsure applicators are about the size of an iphone screen (the smaller ones) and there are four that can be used at one time.  They can be placed anywhere you can strap them on, and do not have to be next to each other.I've been performing Sculpsure treatments since they first came out and was one of the first to offer it in New Jersey so I can tell you that everyone varys in how many applicators they need to treat a area.Usually I find that most people need two applicators on each love handle to treat a targeted area.  Some however do need to have 3-4 if they have more fat to treat - but this doesn't seem too common.  The abdomen areas breaks down to 2 treatments of four applicators each.  Four applicators manage the lower abodomen and four manage the upper abdomen.  This can vary if you have someone with a short or tall torso however.  These are the most common areas but the bra roll, arms, lower back, and chest are all treated similarly with 2-4 applicators each side

Thank you for your question! The applicators are relatively small, about the size of an iphone5; this allows the treatment to be customized for each patient. It's best to have an in-person consultation with your surgeon to better determine the treatment plan best suited for your body shape. Some people may need two applicators, while others may need the full four. The best part about SculpSure is that each treatment is only 25 minutes long so even if you needed all four applicators, should you need to treat both love-handles, you'd still have your treatment completed within an hour!

Each panel is 24 cm squared, about the size of a playing card.
The panels are designed to be laid out across the treatment areas in customized
configurations, so that the treatment can fit a wide variety of body shapes and
sizes. For some people, 1 application would treat one side of their love
handles, and for others, all 4 applicators could be used on each side (across 2
treatment sessions).

It’s important to choose a provider with experience and specialized
training in SculpSure, in order to get the most effective treatments – saving
you time and money. Be sure to select a provider who offers many body
contouring options, including other non-invasive alternatives, and surgical
options. Physicians who specialize in body contouring and have multiple
treatment options available will be best-equipped to give you candid advice
about how to achieve your cosmetic goals, whether that includes SculpSure, or
not.

Each applicator is small, about the size of a small cell phone.  Generally, to treat the entire abdomen, all 4 applicators are needed.  Each anatomic area will be different based on size.  The nice thing is that each treatment (up to 4 applicators) takes only 25 minutes so multiple areas can be treated rather quickly.

You seem to be referring to the four flat Velcro pads. The SculpSure treatement is administered through its Applicator, pads that attached to your tummy and flanks. The SculpSure laser disrupts your deep adipose tissue with heat to destroy subcutaneous fat. Meanwhile,
the laser calms the surface of the skin laser with a comforting cooling contact.The SculpSure laser is the only FDA-approved non-invasive lioplysis device. Its unique technique is completed in a 25-minutes in-office treatment. SculpSure is a painless treatment for all skin types
(I-VI). SculpSure focuses on your abdomen and flanks.

The SculptSure applicator is larger and can do multiple areas at a time. Anyone that says one treatment is all you need is fooling you. All non invasive options need multiple treatments to get even close to the results of a liposuciton or body shaping procedure.  It all depends on your goals.  If yo u are looking for some improvement, possibly one treatment.  If you want more shape, definition and size reduction, then you'll need multiple treatments OR a liposuction procedure. Best, Dr. Emer.

Although each applicator is only 4 x 6 cm, when 4 applicators are put together it covers a wider area because the frames for the applicators take up some space between the applicators.  The heat generated by the laser is distributed evenly throughout the entire 4 applicator treatment area.  In addition, the heat spreads beyond the applicators and tapers off to zero heat at about 5 cm from the edge of the applicator.  This is why Sculpsure may leave the area smoother than Coolsculpt, which cuts off the area of frozen fat at the edge of the applicator.
I generally use a 3-4 applicator treatment for the upper abdomen, and a 3-4 applicator treatment for the lower abdomen.  Treatment of the flanks vary, depending on the size of the individual and the size of the area of the unwanted fat.  I use 2-4 applicators per flank, with the majority of people benefiting from 2-3 applicators per side.
