SculpSure hurt! Could this be caused by not enough fat in the treatment area?

June 21, 2018
Asked By:nymimi in New York, NY

Had my flanks done (two panels on each side). Set at 1.10, it was almost unbearable. I tried going up to 1.20 and it made me nauseated, so I dropped back down to 1.10. I gave birth without an epidural so I‘m really surprised at the pain. After, it felt as though the back of the actual hipbones were bruised. Dr said I had perfect pillows of fat in each panel. Was there enough fat? Would a .90 setting be as effective? Scared for next treatment!
