Would Sculpsure for my arms and triceps be a good option? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I am seriously considering sculpsure for my arms/triceps but I have a question ... are the plates suppose to go vertical or horizontal? Which will give you better results for the saggy part of your arm? Thank you.

In my opinion, when treating the arms with SculpSure, the applicator should be placed along the length of the arm.  So, if your arm were hanging down, it would be placed vertically.

with the amount of skin sagging and fat you have, non invasive options will not be helpful. Id suggest liposuction +/- skin removal.

my whole practice is doing lipo+skin removal,or at least liposuction with internal heating (which is not the gold standard for skin tightening with body contouring).

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best.  Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring.  Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods.  The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring.  This is known as a Brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face.  Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra.  If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty).  Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.  Dr. Emer.

Sculpsure is a fantastic option for anyone that has stubborn fat that they would like to get rid of. Ideal areas include the arms. After a thorough consultation with one of our providers, patients will have a treatment plan to follow for an ideal outcome. The best results are accompanied by a good diet and regular exercise.
We tell patients that each treatment area is about the size of four smartphones. The fun part of this is really figuring the configuration for each patient. Of course, every patient's body will be differently sized meaning that each formation of the handpieces will be different.

Hi thank you for your question. The placing of the plates will depend upon where you have the most fat tissue and the desired treatment area. It is possible you may need more than one session of sculpsure to cover the whole upper arm as the machine comes with 4 applicators and 2 on each side may not cover the whole desired area. Sculpsure is an excellent treatment to destroy fat cells and although there can sometimes be a side effect of skin tightening as well, you may want to consider skin tightening treatments afterwards such as Thermismooth. Best of luck!

Hello,
Depends what you expect out of the treatment.
Before you invest in having sculpsure, may want to find out what you would get. IN most circumstances the results may not be as significant as you may desire.
Liposuction under local anesthesia may be another option to improve the arms.

you want to have maximum contact between the plates and the fatty area being treated. for your tricep area, you are going to want to have the plates horizontally. you can also consider Smartlipo which is going to be a single treatment but does require a 2-3 mm incision. Remember for Warm Sculpsure, you need to plan 2 treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart.
