I had a sculpsure treatment on my inner thighs yesterday. I felt nothing at all during the procedure. Just wondering if this means the technician did sonething incorrectly. I have been reading about the procedure and most people say that inner thighs are excruciating. I felt nothing during procedure nor anything today. The belt was not strapped super tightly ...is it supposed to be? I don’t want to go in fir a second treatment if this is a fraud. Also, is sculpsure the best procedure for me?
Answer: Not Everyone Has Pain with SculpSure SculpSure has an indicator sound and light when it is not properly set/attached which would make it obvious to both your tech and you if it was set improperly. Sculpsure should be monitored and manipulated as necessary during your treatment and although there is not a great deal of work to be done by the surgeon/tech during a SculpSure treatment, the intensity levels should be adjusted until you are at the highest level you can tolerate. Not all people feel pain with this treatment so as long as you had the highest level possible, your results should be fine.

Answer: Sculpsure for the inner thighs Hello NYlady18!Thank you for your question and sharing your images. Typically you will have some sensation of warmth with the treatment. When you return for your second treatment, ask about the settings of your first treatment. The treatment can go up to 1.4, and perhaps you need a higher setting. It will be at least 6-12 weeks from the treatment before you will notice the results, so you need to give it some time to see if the treatment was effective. I hope this is helpful.All my best!

Answer: SculpSure- Inner Thighs Hello and thank you for your question and photos.Normally the inner thighs can be very sensitive. SculpSure would not function if it was attached incorrectly. The system would completely shut down. I would follow up with your provider to see what settings they had you at. A 0.9-1.4 would be the range your provider would keep you at during your treatment. Follow your after care instructions and full results are seen at 12 weeks.Best to you,

Answer: Sculpsure on inner thighs Hi there and thank you for your question. The inner thighs are often more sensitive than other areas treating with Sculpsure because of thinner skin and a lot of nerves in the area. Having said that, some patients are extremely tolerant of any treatments and this is the reason why there is so much disparity between what one person feels and another person feels during their treatment. I've had many patients who I thought would be sensitive to a particular area and they barely felt anything at all. Heat tolerance is so variable from person to person. That is why there are adjustments to be made during the treatment based on your described "zone". These settings should be adjusted by your practitioner during your Sculpsure treatment to get optimal fat cell rupture and destruction. Hope this helps and please do go back for your next treatment!

Answer: Sculpsure settings If you felt no deep heating cycles then it is possible that the settings were not increased appropriately after the warm up phase. Call and have the clinician review your chart. If you were increased to 1.4 and had no deep warming than you must have an amazing pain tolerance and the treatment should work. I also find that the more paddles I place together the better the result. In other words instead of placing 2 on each thigh, try 4 from the inner thigh towards the posterior thigh of each leg. As there is feathering beyond each paddle there may be synergy with 4 grouped together, although no study has been done comparing the 2 options. The FDA has approved the use of Sculpsure on the thighs, to counter the statement earlier.
