Sculpsure being touted as causing little discomfort, etc. But most patients/reviewers say it's actually quite painful during treatment. What can doctors/patients do, if anything, to lessen the pain during treatment? And are certain areas more sensitive to Sculpsure pain than others? Thanks.
Answer: Pain Control with SculpSure There is no pain associated with SculpSure treatment and on average the user discomfort is a 3 out 10. There is mild discomfort but after 4 minutes into it, every one can tolerate it given that it's only 25 minutes and for a great outcome. I did not have a single patient who required any pain medication pre or post treatment. Please remember that by reading a lot of stories about the treatment, your anxiety level may be increased, which also contributes to higher discomfort level during the treatment. Individual responses vary greatly. Some patients feel it while others simply fall asleep or read a book during the treatment. I suggest you come to a provider that will explain the treatment, what to expect and the discomfort management tools, etc. Wear comfortable or loose clothing and bring something that will help to keep you distracted. Please do not have this treatment when you are hang over or super tired or close to your period. Good luck and enjoy your body contouring treatment. Best.Dr.Avaliani

Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. Our patients do not find discomfort with the SculpSure laser. In fact, many patients cite a pleasant feeling with the procedure because it emits a warm sensation. The SculpSure laser offers a range of settings that can be adjusted based upon the patient's experience. Always consul with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Pain tolerated with SculpSure for fat reduction SculpSure uses externally applied laser to heat the fat below the skin to kill fat cells. As the heat increases, a cool cycle is created by the device and the heat is slowly increased as tolerated. The physician/operator has the control to diminish the energy for those who find it uncomfortable.

Answer: #sculpsure/#Body Contouring/ #Hi Definition Procedures Thank you for your question.Sculpsure is a noninvasive 1060nm diode laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health.The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It is protective since it alternates heating and cooling. It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12.

Answer: Sculpsure, Vanquish, Ultrashape, CoolSculpting Non Invasive Fat Removal / Body Contouring Treatments -- Pain During Treatment? I rarely have patients with too much pain from Sculpsure. SculpSure has adjustable settings which can be adjusted to the patient's tolerance level. Coolsculpting has more pain but is still tolerable. Vanquish should be combined with both to give better outcomes along with z wave/cellutone. Ultrashape has no pain but takes a number of treatments for any results. Please see a body contouring expert for a consultation to see what you are a candidate for. Best, Dr. Emer
