I got SculpSure done yesterday and experienced a LOT of pain. I was crying during it. They said they had never seen this reaction before. The only thing I can think is I just started my period yesterday as well. Do you think they did something wrong? I want to make sure it will still work. It’s still very tender today too.
Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. It is not typical to experience that level of pain and discomfort, however, you should continue to work closely with your board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical team to identify your healing progress and work through your healing instructions.

Answer: SculpSure - Non Invasive however everyone tolerates pain differently SculpSure is a non invasive procedure that uses lasers to heat fat and destroy it. Hence, the sensation of heat can be uncomfortable depending on your pain tolerance. This in combination with your period (a time of heightened sensation) could explain why you experienced so much pain. I suggest following up with the physician who performed the SculpSure if any pain continues. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: SculpSure very painful I would say for most people that have a SculpSure treatment, the procedure has some discomfort but should not be painful. The energy settings can be adjusted for each patient so that the pain level should not be high. I am not certain what level you were treated on. Some people do have some tenderness for the first few days.

Answer: Pain with SculpSure Thank you for your question. Pain during SculpSure can vary quite a bit, but in general is usually tolerated without tears. Sometimes a slight repositioning of the frames or reduction in frequency can drastically improve patient comfort. In general, I have found most of my patients have less pain during the second treatment and sometimes need a higher frequency to get to a zone score of 4. Make sure you follow all the post procedure instructions for massage and hydration.

Answer: Pain can be normal, but some types of pain are not. Having treated many patients with Sculpsure, I have noticed quite a spectrum of how people respond to the procedure. I believe the variety stems from individual pain thresholds. Some people find it quite tolerable and nearly painless; however, the majority of patients experience moderate discomfort. In my clinic, about 5-10% of patients do find it significantly painful - even with proper applicator placement. If the applicator is placed to close to a bony prominence, this can cause significant pain and the applicator should be adjusted (or shouldn't have been placed there in the first place).
