Had my 2nd round of SculpSure and have a depression on my left abdomen. Are dimples caused by SculpSure permanent?

Assuming that the device was properly placed, dimpling is uncommon. Theoretically it could be due to exaggerated fat destruction in that area. Cynosure, the makers of SculpSure, have not provided data either documenting the variability in treatment results or the scientific basis for them.

Thank you very much for your question. Sculpsure will cause destruction of the fat cells by a process called apoptosis, which is natural and usually takes about 6-8 weeks a majority of the healing to take place. Much of the reasoning behind dimpling would be if the laser was placed too close to the belly button, dehydration, or placed over an area of a tattoo.  As long as the laser was not improperly placed over the skin, these dimples should resolve within 8-12 weeks as the skin and the underlying fat around the area migrates to fill in where the treatment occurred.
