Can Sculpsure treatment be used for inner and outer thighs?

Absolutely! In fact, for this particular treatment area,
SculpSure is the only non-invasive fat reduction treatment we recommend. Here’s
why:

1. SculpSure allows for
adjustment to the individual’s body type: The curvature of a thigh varies
greatly among individuals, so many other technologies have difficulty providing
their treatment with the necessary flexibility. SculpSure’s 4 treatment panels
allow the provider to increase or decrease the curvature of the treatment to
match your individual anatomy.

2. SculpSure’s laser may provide
a tightening effect for skin after treatment

3. SculpSure is more comfortable
during treatment than LipoSonix and CoolSulpting. Other treatments like Exillis
and Zerona don’t provide the same fat reduction results (i.e. fewer fat cells
removed).

Currently,
SculpSure has only received FDA-clearance for use in the abdomen and flanks (or
love handles). However, SculpSure is currently in clinical trials for
FDA-clearance for the inner and outer thighs, and is likely to receive that
approval, as preliminary results and anecdotal evidence from many physicians show
a similar safety and effectiveness profile as the stomach and love handles. Our
patients have had great results for inner and outer thigh treatment with
SculpSure.

SculpSure is a great option for both inner and outer thighs. Depending on the amount of excess fat, the number of applicators may vary for treatment. Typically patients required 2-4 applicators per site, and we recommend 2-3 treatments for you to see optimal results. Its a great choice for those stubborn areas that exercise and diet just aren't able to reach.

Sculpsure can definitely be done on the inner and outer thighs.  Its best to have a personal consultation to determine what's best for you.

Great question.  Sculpture can definitely be used for treatment of inner and outer thighs as well as many other areas like under butt, above knee, on the side of the knee, on lower legs, arms, bra rolls, etc.  It's an outstanding laser that can be customized to each body type to deliver great results. Now,  all those areas are considered " off label". Meaning the FDA only did clinical studies on treatment for abdomen and love handles, so they have data available to show and prove its efficacy. In my practice, I treat all of the areas listed above with great results and patient satisfaction.  Please find a SculpSure expert provider in your area in order to gain full benefit of this treatment as results do depend on the treatment design and appropriate settings,, not the machine.  Good luck.

Yes, SculpSure can be used to treat fatty deposits of the inner
and outer thighs.  However, it is
important to note that it is not FDA approved for those locations (current FDA
approval is for Abdomen and flak) and as such I would strongly encourage you to
seek out board-certified experts in dermatology or plastic surgery for any such
treatments.  

Sculpsure works by causing fat cells to die from exposure to the laser energy that creates heat. If the inner thighs have a moderate layer of excess fat, or the outer thighs, Sculpsure will work just as well there as on the abdomen and flanks.

Sculpsure can be used in these areas but are off label.  Sculpsure has been approved by the fda for the abdomen and flanks so far.  It can be used by your doctor in an 'of label' fashion in any area he/she deems appropriate much like Botox was used all over the face when it was first introduced even though the FDA only approved it for the glabellar lines or 11's.

Thank you for your question.Currently Sculpsure is only approved by the FDA for the abdomen and flanks. But that does not mean it cant be used in other areas.  Just as Botox was first only FDA approved for the glabella but is used in different areas. This is called an off label use.  So yes it can be used in the inner and outer thigh although it is not FDA approved as of yet.Thank you

I appreciate your question.Sculpsure is a great treatment and adjunct for stubborn fat areasAlthough it is only FDA cleared for abdomen and flanks, it can be used on other areas that have fat.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thank you for your recent question! SculpSure is currently only FDA approved for abdomen and flanks, however this does not mean you can't treat the inner or outer thighs.  As long as you have fat there and the templates can be positioned well you will be ok to have this area treated.  Best of Luck!
