1. Is it normal &/or a good sign to see indentations at applicator site? 2. if applicators were placed 1 inch below the area of concern, will there be "feathering" to reach that area? 3. is it possible to predict at 3 weeks whether I chose the optimal procedure? as opposed to lipo, which i don't want due to recovery, risks, cost. I am having a hard time remaining optimistic. 4. Can you describe why it takes 6-12 weeks for results to show? what is the process of necrosis? Thank you!

Answer: Sculpsure of thigh area First it is common for the frames to leave a faint imprint due to the pillowing effect that is needed to have a good application of the laser. This is not permanent but may be visible for a few days. The laser does have a feathering effect of about 3 cm so that areas surrounding the frames will also have destruction of fat cells. This provides a more uniform result. The effect of the Sculpsure laser on fat cells requires time to injure then destroy the affected cells follow3ed by the body's lymphatic or drainage system to clear the inflammation and fluid. The e4nd result if a loss of fat up to 24 % in the targeted area. This requires time and the expected results should be evident after at least 6 weeks and full results from both sessions at 12 weeks. You will not see much at 3 weeks and likely will not see much when you return for your second session but should have great results when you follow with after photos at 12 weeks. Good Luck!!
