If Sculpsure melts fat in the cells. Does it mean the cells can reabsorb fatty later and the tummy will bounce back? Thank you for your answer doctors.
Answer: What is SculpSure doing? SculpSure uses heat from the laser to target the nucleus of the fat cell causing enough damage to result in cell death and eventual reabsorption of fat and shrinkage of the fatty tissue layer. Interestingly, there was a very good research study published several years ago out of Japan, in which a fat transfer was performed in mice. The fat cells, termed "adipocytes" had their DNA labelled with one tag and the stem cells accompanying the fat had their DNA tagged with a different molecule. Several months later, the fat grafts were analyzed and the adipocytes were noted to only contain DNA that was tagged with the stem-cell DNA tags! This is very strong evidence that, at least in mice, fat cells can be regenerated from stem cells - these were human fat cells, by the way - which goes against everything we have understood (that we do not generate new fat cells). In all of my liposuction cases (thousands) I have had one patient who, after putting on a modest amount of weight after lipo, regained fat in the area we liposuctioned - twice! So, although it is most common that people will put on weight more in areas that were not treated, it is not guaranteed and the same thing would hold true for SculpSure-treated areas.

Answer: #sculpsure/#Body Contouring/ #Hi Definition Prcoedures 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 Thank you for your question. SculpSure physically destroys unwanted fat. Its ability to eliminate fat has enabled SculpSure to be a much more effective treatment in all clinical studies than its competitors, including CoolSculpting. I suggest that you next consult in person with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Sculpsure Even with diet and exercise, most people have stubborn pockets of fat that seem impossible to lose. SculpSure targets and permanently destroys these fat cells without surgery, downtime, redness or pain. SculpSure is the newest non-surgical 25 minute procedure that uses light-based technology to permanently destroy up to 24% of fat per treatment. Each treatment goes deeper into the fat layer for additive results. The laser uses heat at high temperatures to destroy fat and most patients do not experience pain during the treatment and the applicators can be adjusted if any discomfort is felt.

Answer: SculpSure results permanent Yes, SculpSure melts fat, but those fat cells are eliminated by the body and they don't come back. So, the results are permanent. Having said that, if you gain weight following your procedure, your remaining fat cells will still get bigger. There will simply be fewer of them. Hope this helps.
