How far apart should SculpSure to the abs/flanks and Velashape 3 to the front and back of thighs be separated to be done safely?

Question

I had sculpsure to my abs and flanks 3 weeks ago and can do 3 more sessions spaced 6 weeks apart.I am interested in doing velashape 3 on the front and back of my thighs for cellulite.They are recommended 5 tx's.My question is how far apart do I need to space the two different tx's to be done safely?Also, what is the recommended frequency of the velashape 3 tx's?The clinic suggested 2-4 weeks apart, and recommended 4 weeks apart.That seemed like a prolonged period in between tx's to me.Thanks

Thank you for your question. Each treated area (i.e. abdomen or flanks) takes only 25 minutes per treatment. SculpSure is revolutionary for its non-surgical, non-invasive, treatment process where patients can expect to see fat reduction in treated areas in aobut 6-12 weeks after just one treatment. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Since the areas of the abdomen and flanks that you had treated with SculpSure are different than the thighs that you are going to have treated with Velashape, I think you could space them apart at any time you wished.  They could potentially even be treated the same day.  One treatment should not affect the other.

Consult with you surgeon or technician. Some surgeons will perform both on the same day. You just want to make sure that you was it 6 weeks between treatments. Best of luck.

Since the regions being treated with SculpSure and Velashape are different, I see no conflict in doing the two different procedures as close together as you would like.  Regarding the Velashape spacing between treatments, I would favor following the clinic's recommendations as they apparently have had the best results with those spacing parameters.

We do many sculpsure treatments with our skin tightening device that is also used for cellulite. We will often do a sculpsure treatment and tightening in the same session. The intervals on the body are 6 weeks apart. I hope this helps you to schedule your treatments better.
