Answer: Sculpsure, Coolsculpting, Vanquish, Thermi Sculpsure is a noninvasive 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 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. 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 her 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 treatmentSince 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. Coolsculpting freezes the fat while sculpsure heats it.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.

Answer: Does sculpsure tighten the skin at all? Thank you for your question.SculpSure is currently FDA approved to treat the abdomen and flanks but can be used as off label on other parts of the body. SculpSure does not currently have FDA approval for use as a skin tightening device. No scientific study has been published regarding skin tightening although some may see some improvement of the skin in the areas treated. Each procedure can destroy up to 20-25% of fat cells in the treated area, with each additional treatment should reduce another 20-25%. Thank you

Answer: Does SculpSure tighten the skin? SculpSure does not currently have FDA approval for use as a skin tightening device. There are some physicians who feel that there may be some skin tightening with the treatments and it is something that may be studied in the future. At present, I would not have the treatment to specifically address skin tightening, but for fat reduction. Repeated sessions of SculpSure can be performed to obtain additional fat reduction. A single procedure can destroy up to 24% of fat cells in the treated area. Additional treatments will also destroy up to 24% of fat cells.

Answer: Sculpsure & Skin tightening Since SculpSure is a laser and therefore uses heat, the treatment is associated with some skin tightening. But it is primarily about fat loss. The 23% fat reduction is the total amount. I find that most patients need at least 2 treatments. Hope this helps.
