Does SculpSure work on fat rolls around the waist?

R
Riley828Aug 8, 2017

I am only about 10 -15 lbs over weight but I have a roll of fat around waist. The rest of my body is considered small except for my waist. If I diet I lose from my waist but also from everywhere else. I am 66 and think this was caused by a lifetime of stress. How well would sculpsure work for me?

The best non invasive way to minimize submental fat is with sculpsure. Kybella treatments are painful with a lot of swelling and bruising and may take up to 3 treatments. Coolsculpting , in my opinion, does not achieve as good a result as the new sculpsure applicator for the neck. The best ...
