I was lying on my stomach with a setting up to 1.3. In this position it felt quite warm. Due to the problems, she reconnected the pads and performed the remainder of the treatment sitting upright at 1.4. It didn't feel that warm in this position, although the belt was tight. I'm concerned about the interruption of service (wasn't 25 minutes straight) and the change to the upright position which she said was not recommended. Does the machine provide info that everything is connected properly?
Answer: SculpSure change in position during treatment is completely normal Hi, you have definitely been treated properly and handled quite high settings, actually the highest on the machine. Change in the position does not affect the outcome of your result as long as during the treatment you felt that "deep warmth" followed by cooling sensation. The machine is pretty smart in terms of the duration of time needed to achieve the desired result and during clinical trials, all these minor adjustments are calculated into the successful treatment formula. You did great and your provider did everything right as well. Hope this helps. Best. Dr.Avaliani

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. If you notice lumps after (which I've never seen) I would recommend massage. You should also alert your surgeon. No compression garment required. 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 our 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 treatment Since 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. Take care, Dr Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. The slight interruption should not influence your results. The procedure itself is very simple. A technician clips the device into place on the areas to be treated, and the laser begins to disrupt the subcutaneous fat cells, heating them, and prompting the body to dispose of them. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Answer: Sculpsure Results--Add Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra versus Coolsculpting/Vanquish versus VASER, ThermiRF, ultrasound As long as the applicator had contact, you had an adequate treatment. Keep in mind it will take several months for your final results and with Sculpsure a combination of treatments is needed. I recommend combining Sculpsure with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. We currently use a fire and ice treatment with Coolsculpting and Vanquish for good results in fat removal. However, a VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results with fat removal, contouring and definition. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Sculpsure results The change in position should not adversely affect your results and you were definitely on a high enough setting so I don't think there should be any issue. Keep in mind, however, that it often takes 2 treatments to get your ideal results.
