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: 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).
