Sculpsure or Velashape for tummy area? I'm deciding on a laser treatment to get rid of fat around tummy and upper/inner arm area

Question

I'm very active and work out and lift every day. I just can't get rid of the fat in upper and tower tummy area or arms no matter how much I tone. Can someone advise what the better option would be for this? My dr office offers Sculpsure but a friend recommended Velashape to cover more area around tummy that I I believe Sculpsure would require additional treatments. There is a huge price difference so I just want to understand the facts as there was no comparison available when I googled It.

For my younger fit patients we do a lot of non invasive treatments. We often combine SculpSure with Vanquish and Venus Legacy to get further improvement. However, if you truly want a full body contouring results with fat loss, skin tightening and sculpting you can get a VASER HI DEF 4D body shaping procedure which would transform your body rather than just a small amount of fat removal.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Your situation is similar to most patients of SculpSure. The subcutaneous fat in the belly and flanks areas are very difficult to eliminate even through diet and exercise specifically engineered to target the area. SculpSure is the only FDA-approved non-invasive treatment for eliminating up to 25% of the subcutaneous fat in the belly and flanks. Always consult in person with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Best wishes,

SculpSure is more about getting rid of excess fat, not cellulite. So, the right procedure is going to depend on your needs. If you haven't already, book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined in person and discuss your best options. Even if something is less expensive, it is going to more expensive in the long run if it doesn't address your needs, right? Best of luck.

Hello - we've had great results with sculpsure - extremely effective, no downtime, short painless treatments.  I am recommending sculpsure especially to those who only have small hard to reach regions of cellulite.

Jeffrey K. Scott, MD · Answer

I would recommend SculptSure as a means of permanently destroying fat cells within the upper and lower abdomen. I also suggest you plan on 2 or more treatments to each of these sites over time to obtain a more dramatic result. Inner arms are more difficult to treat with SculptSure due to the proximity of the major nerves traveling down the inner arm region.
