Will vitamins or herbal supplements interfere with Sculpsure?

Thank you for your question. While it is highly unlikely that medications, supplements or herbal medicines would interfere with SculpSure, it is very important that you discuss your health profile and any concerns with your board certified facial plastic surgeon during your in-person consultation.
Best wishes,

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. There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of her patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatmentSince I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results. I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals.

there are no over the counter treatments that would affect the results of sculpsure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In my opinion, vitamins or herbal supplements should not affect the results of a SculpSure treatment.  I would recommend following whatever instructions are given to you by the physician treating you however.  

I think that you should be fine with your vitamins and herbs. You simply want to avoid any anti-inflammatory medications for at least 7 days prior to your treatment. Hope this helps. 

Thanks for sharing your question. I can
appreciate your concern.There are no studies demonstrating the benefits, nor the complications of OTC medications and its effect on Sculpsure treatments. Although recommended, it is unlikely to decrease it's effects. Only gold salt treatments are prohibited due to their side effects.

Wishing you the best in your journey

The parent company of SculpSure, Cyanosure, has recommended discontinuation of OTC supplements for 2 weeks prior and after a SculpSure treatment.  I believe they are just being overly cautious because this is a new treatment modality and the possible interaction with different medicines/OTC supplements is not known.I personally have no problem with these supplements because this is a non invasive treatment that should not be affected by these supplements.Good Luck!

It is recommended by Cynosure, to avoid taking any anti-iflammatories 7 days prior to undergoing the SculpSure treatment and 7 days after. 

Thank you for your question. Sculpsure use your body's natural inflammatory response to remove the fat cell and fat after your treatment. Therefore, the company recommends you refrain from any anti-inflammatory medication or supplements to achieve the best results.

Most should be fine. However, those with tumeric have built in anti-inflammatory properties (such as Lifevantage's Protandim) similar to Motrin, celebrex etc. These might blunt the effects of cell death for the fat--very theoretical.
