I want to do my love handles with SculpSure and was quoted $2,700 for 2 treatments of the area. Advice?

Question

Each area having 4, 25 minute sessions total. Something about using the smaller square pieces because they stick to the skin better than using the 4 piece. So I would be there for approx 1 hour to do front of love handles then back side of them. Does this price seem high, and does it make sense to break up the treatment in 2 sections instead of using the 4 paddles at once on each side? I am in Temecula California for pricing reference.

Thank you for your question. Make sure you always work with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

If you are having 4 panels used on each side, for a total of 8, I would not consider $2700 a high price for SculpSure treatment to the love handles.  The method used to position the panels and in what manner, is determined by the physician treating you.

Each full SculpSure treatment includes 4 applicators to be placed on your skin in a 25 min session. That is why you were told it would take approximately an hour to fully treat both the right (RT) and left (LT) flanks. 
Most patients do get a better contact with the applicators placed with 2 cartridges each on the RT and LT in the front aspect of the flanks (for session 1 lying on your back), then turning over and placing 2 cartridges each on the RT and LT on the back/posterior aspect of the flanks (for session 2 lying on your stomach). Placing 4 cartridges on the RT in session 1, then placing 4 cartridges on the LT in session 2 is possible, but requires the patient to lie on their side (which is typically prone to minor movement and possible intermittent fluctuations in contact during the procedure). In general, the anterior then posterior approach (as described above), just works best in our experience. 
The price you were quoted is dependent upon your local area and typically varies with how many treatments you may need or want. An in-person consultation is required to examine you and determine what you may need to get the results you are seeking to achieve. Ask about bundled or volume pricing.

Our non-special retail pricing is $1500 per 4 applicators with repeat treatments being 50% off. We generally charge $290-$375 per frame/applicator.

We are located in West Palm Beach Florida for pricing reference. We charge on Average $1400 for 4 applicators and the second treatment would be $1200. The applicator placement is dependant on where we can obtain full contact of the 4 corners of each applicator. So if you are very curvy and on the thin side that may be why your technician decided to use that placement pattern. You can always ask why she chose to do the placement of the applicators that way. I am sure she would be happy to explain it to you!
