Is it OK to do Sculpsure after Coolsculpting on the same area?

Question

Is it OK to do Sculpsure after Coolsculpting on the same area? How long should i wait after Coolsculpting? It's been 2 months and there's still more fat I'd like to remove. How many applicators does it take for thighs?

Nikesh K. Patel, MD · Answer

Sculpure can usually be done about 6 weeks after coolsculpting.  This allows the body to remove the injured and destroyed fat cells and for you to see your final results.  That is the same process required for Sculpsure so you can repeat Sculpsure after 6 weeks as well.Treating the thighs with Sculpsure can require several applicators depending upon the areas that you want treated.  Inner thighs take about 2-3 applicators per side and outer thighs are about the same.  It depends upon the shape of your thighs.  See a Sculpsure specialist to get the best information and evaluation.

CoolSculpting and SculpSure
both require 4-6 weeks between treatments over the same area. This is because
your body needs time to sweep away those damaged cells, to ensure your next treatment
is effective and safe. You can feel confident at 2 months after CoolSculpting,
to layer SculpSure over the same area.

Each person’s body parts measure different
sizes, so it would be hard to tell you how many applicators your thighs might
need for SculpSure, without measuring the area.

Thank you for your question, fattycrab. SculpSure is the superior treatment for vanquishing fat, and it can be applied to the same area after CoolSculpting. You may need one or two applicators attached to your thighs. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Having SculpSure after CoolSculpting to the same area should be fine.  Plan on waiting at least a few weeks (6-12) before the treatment.  Make sure you consult with your physician regarding the number of applicators.

It's best to wait a few weeks between treatments but otherwise fine to SculpSure the same areas that have been previously CoolSculpted.  Regarding how many applicators, it's best to consult with your surgeon to evaluate size of the area you were looking to treat. Good luck!

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It would be okay to have a SculpSure treatment after CoolSculpting but you would want to make sure that all of your numbness has resolved from the CoolSculpting treatment before having the SculpSure done.  An exam would be needed to determine how many SculpSure applicators would be needed to treat a specific area on a patient.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes as long as you wait at least 6 weeks for the same area. So you should be in the clear. If you were treating different areas, you could do one right after the other. Hope this helps.

Anna Avaliani, MD · Answer

It is definitely safe to have SculpSure after CoolSculpting provided that you wait at least a minimum of 6 weeks or more to treat the SAME area. You can treat DIFFERENT area almost immediately. If it has been 2 months, you should be safe to have an additional treatment.  In regards to how many applicators you will need , it will require a consultation and an appropriate treatment design for you. It can vary from 1 applicator to as many as 8 per area. Some o fly patients needed as little as 1 applicator while other needed 8. Please find an expert SculpSure provider in your area and discuss these questions during your consultation.  Good luck. Best, Dr.Avaliani

SculpSure can be used after CoolSculpting, liposuction, tummy tuck, Vanquish, Zerona, etc.  It is very good at "cleaning up" after other procedures.  Proceed with confidence.
