Timing for second Sculpsure treatment. How long should i wait?

R
RitajwilsonMar 10, 2016

Super pleased with my first sculpsure treatment to the ab areas and the flanks. My provider advised me to get my 2nd treatment to the same area after 6 weeks. Everything I read says to wait 3-5 months. Are there any negatives to 6? If lingering original treated fat cells are left --I don't want to waist the Sculpsure laser light hitting those again. I want new cells to be disrupted and want to get the same great results as 1st treatment. Has the retreatment protocol has been revised to 6 weeks?

Feeling some lumps (which can be minimally tender to touch) in the subcutaneous fat layer 2-3 weeks after SculpSure is probably a good sign. It means that enough energy was delivered to the fat cells that they have been damaged and that the immune system is responding to that by breaking...
