I just had Sculpsure done yesterday. They told me after that bc I was doing so well, they increased the setting to 1.4. Do I want the frequency to be as high as I can tolerate? Will that give me a better result? I have another treatment set up for two days shy of 6 weeks and wonder if I should try to push for higher. Also, everywhere I read it says wait at least 6 weeks to see any results. So is there no changes at all until 6 weeks or is it a gradual process up until 6 weeks with the final results at 12 weeks?

Answer: Sculpsure settings 1.4 is the highest setting and there is some data to show that 1.3-1.4 gives the best results, however, my patients that can only tolerate lower settings still report loss of fat in the treated area. The area may be retreated as soon as 4 weeks as long as no nodules are present but it still takes 12 weeks to see full results.

Answer: Sculpsure frequency Sculpsure is a laser treatment with many variables. According to the developers' testing, the best results are obtained with the highest setting you can tolerate without undo discomfort.. Since the laser is designed to be absorbed by the wavelength of fat, higher power does not necessarily produce better results even though it seems like it should. The above criterion indicates the wavelength for maximum absorption for an individual. Treatments can be done as little as 4 weeks apart, but 6 weeks is the more common recommendation. You should see results (gradually) by 6 weeks, but it takes 12 weeks for essentially the full effect. Slight improvements in contour can continue for several months. Consult with a plastic surgeon who not only knows how to do the treatments but who also understands the physics behind the treatment. This is likely where you will get the best advice.
