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.

SculpSure has been available for 1.5 years now and most likely was first available in New York as many New York physicians are true pioneers of advanced technology.   It has been approved for treatment of fat in the stomach and love handles region, but it can definitely be used in many other body areas as long as you are a candidate, have soft pinchable fat and have realistic expectations.

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.
