Has anyone heard of sculpsure or sculpture? A friend of a friend did it and looks freaking sexy.

There are physicians in the US who are doing clinical trials, such as my friend in NY who you are likely referring to.  However, the long term data is not out yet and nobody knows the costs and number of treatments involved for improvement on the body.  This is a noninvasive diode laser for improvement in body shape.  We will see what comes of this and how it compares to ultrashape, coolsculpting, liposonix etc.  Best, Dr. Emer.

SculpSure is a special laser which works by heating the fat cells, causing them to die. It has been shown to reduce 25% of fat cells. Overtime the body is able to eliminate these dead fat cells through your lymphatics. The laser penetrates deep enough to reach the fat while not harming the skin. The treatment time per area is typically about 25 minutes. Results take about 6 weeks, as the body is slowly eliminating fat cells in the treatment area. We typically recommend patients receive 2 treatments 6 weeks apart for optimum results, but each patient is different. Another great perk about SculpSure is that there is absolutely no downtime after treatment. Most patients are extremely happy with their results because they get to avoid the down time associated with traditional liposuction. 
Be sure to reach out to a board certified plastic surgeon when deciding what treatment option is best for you so all of your expectations are met.

SculpSure Is a noninvasive fat reduction technology that has absolutely no downtime and a nearly perfect safety profile. It is an alternative to liposculpture and can be used to slim your profile and improve your contours.  The treatment involves placing an applicator on top of your skin which will pass the laser into the fat just about 1 inch under the skin. Each treatment destroys approximately 23% of the fat underneath the skin and can gradually reduce the area of concern. In general, patients need a few treatments and can see a nice benefit. I believe in offering this as  an option for fat reduction. It is not as immediate or definitive as liposculpture, but is a great alternative for someone who wants no downtime and 10 except a longer treatment course. I have seen results in as early as a couple of weeks, but in general we wait a full 12 weeks for the full/final result. I will space treatments anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks apart. As with any  aesthetic procedure, it's important to be seen by a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery and has extensive experience with the procedure. I wish you the best, Dr. Gabbay.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Sculpsure is available throughout the country and most cities.  I have it at my office located in Winter Park, Florida.  It is extremely effective, and painless procedure with treatment times that are much shorter the other devices.  Further, there are none of the side effects from other devices like coolsculpting which can leave areas of deformity, numbness and pain. It is a 1060nm laser and penetrates the skin to disrupts fat cells more specifically, rather than freezing a whole area.  I have seen excellent results so far with this laser. 

ddddoug Sculpsure is FDA approved and is available nationwide.  I have had both sculpsure and coolsculpting performed and offer both procedures in my world class medical spas in Sterling Heights and West Bloomfield, Michigan.  We offer both , at Accents Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spa,  as we are not cookie cutters and customize treatments to the individual.  We also offer skin tightening procedures as these procedures offer a non surgical reduction of fat but do little for skin tightening.Coolsculpting:35-60 minute procedure plus massage and set up time for one area22-25 % Fat reduction1-3 procedures per area for best resultsSculpsure:25 minutes per session that can treat multiple areas22% plus fat reduction1-2 proceduresMore comfortable procedure and post  op periodBoth are great .  Make sure you have an option and that the technicians are thoroughly trained.

Sculpsure has been out for a few months now and our practice was one of the first to get the machine so we have a lot of experience with it. Its all pretty easy and takes only 25 minutes for each area you want treated - way faster than the coolsculpting treatments and Way more comfortable!Most people don't experience more than some waves of warm and cold and love that they dont have any down time or recovery to deal with.

Thank you for your recent question! SculpSure is a new fantastic non-invasive body contouring technology. The launch for this technology just went live in New York last week. More and more offices are beginning to go live with their new device. SculpSure has gone live in other states as we have our machine here at Berks Plastic Surgery in Pa. I would recommend calling around your Tampa, Fl area to see if any office has it. Best of Luck!

SculpSure is a non-invasive laser fat loss device. The manufacturer has been very selective in which doctors are receiving the device. Our office was among the very first in the world to receive SculpSure. However, it may be some time before doctors in Tampa receive this technology.Flying is not a contraindication to this treatment, so it would be feasible for you to fly up to have the procedure done, if you were looking for treatment in the next few months.

SculpSure will be available in my practice in December, 2015. SculpSure allows a larger surface area to be treated than CoolSculpting for equivalent applicators, in 25 minutes instead of one hour, feathers the treatment instead of having demarcation.  There is no suction, no treatment pain, no painful post-treatment massage, no post op risk of numbness and nerve discomfort. The lower abdomen and flanks can be treated in an hour. Costs are about the same, about 1500 for the lower abdomen or flanks, depending on the number of applicators needed.

SculpSure is the newest FDA approved noninvasive fat reduction machine.  It is a laser based treatment and early results are very promising.  Many patients only require one 25 minute treatment for each area and see results within 6-12 weeks.  It is just now starting to appear in select practices such as mine around the country.

The Clevens Center is located in Melbourne, FL and offers the only SculpSure laser and capability within 100 miles.  SculpSure is an only FDA-approved laser treatment that has cornered the market. The SculpSure Applicator provides patients with the best results (melts 25% of your fat) and quickest recovery. In fact, there is no recovery time at all - you will not need a massage after your 25-minute in-office treatment. With the capability to work on all skin types, SculpSure is refined for patient comfort. The technique leverages controlled and targeted laser treatment to disrupt the adipose tissue without damaging the surrounding tissue and while providing a cooling contact on your skin for the entire 25 minutes. SculpSure has no numbness afterwards because their is minimal absorption in the dermis. The laser runs at a 1060nm wavelength for deep penetration into subcutaneous fat for its high affinity for adipose tissue.
