Period has been late since SculpSure treatment 2 weeks ago, is this normal?

Question

I had my first SculpSure treatment 2 weeks ago, and now my period has been late for 10 days. Is it a normal thing? What should I do?

Jeffrey Ridha, MD · Answer

The Sculpsure laser focuses energy at a superficial level, approximately 1 cm below the skin surface. As such, it should have no effect on menstruation, or the timing or duration of periods. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

The sculpture laser machine only affects the fat under the skin. It does not penetrate the abdominal wall. The uterus is deep in the abdomen and therefore, sculpture will not affect your periods.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Sculpsure won't cause your period to be late. If it continues to be late, I recommend following up with your gynecologist. Best, Dr. Emer

A SculpSure treatment would not affect the timing of your period, so I would definitely look into other possibilities for the lateness of your period.  I would recommend contacting your gynecologist to be evaluated.

SculpSure should not affect our period.  The SculpSure laser does not penetrate more than a couple centimeters into your skin and cannot reach your uterus or any organs.
What you are reporting is purely coincidental.

SculpSure should not affect your period in any way. If you are concerned, I would contact your SculpSure provider or your Obgyn.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Your SculpSure treatment should not affect your menstrual cycle in any way. I would suggest you look into other causes such as stress, a change in diet or a potential pregnancy. Hope this helps --

There is no association between SculpSure treatments and menstrual cycles.  You should consider other causes of late periods and check with your family doctor or gynecologist if concerned.

Jeffrey K. Scott, MD · Answer

The SculptSure treatment has absolutely no effect on your menstrual cycle. I suggest you consider the other causes of a delayed cycle.
