Does Sculpsure affect fertility?

Question

I'm looking into Sculpsure for my abdomen. I'm a 32 year old woman and haven't had any kids yet. Is there any risk of damage to my reproductive organs from the laser?

Mark Karolak, DO, FAOCO · Answer

The SculpSure laser targets
fat cells for heating, and leaves other tissues in their normal, healthy
temperature range. So not only does the SculpSure laser not penetrate into deep
enough layers to reach organs, but it wouldn’t affect them if it did.

Thank you for your question, Coco1224. SculpSure does not pose any risk of damage to your reproductive organs from the laser. In fact, SculpSure is the only FDA-approved laser to provide the quickest and most effective treatment in melting 25% of unwanted subcutaneous fat in 25-minute in-office treatments. SculpSure has been proven safe through clinical studies per the requirements of achieving FDA approval. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. Sculpsure is a safe, effective, non-invasive, laser-based treatment for circumferential fat reduction. Since the laser only effects the superficial fat layer there is no risk or damage to internal organs. Good luck.

Brian K. Reedy, MD · Answer

Wonderful question! Although SculpSure is wonderful for destroying the unwanted fat cells, the laser cannot penetrate deep enough, leaving your organs unaffected.

Daniel Careaga, MD · Answer

The laser targets fat in the layer between your skin and muscles (subcutaneous).  It cannot penetrate deeper so there are no effects to your organs.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

The laser light emitted during the SculpSure treatment of the abdomen would not penetrate deep enough to have any affect on the reproductive organs.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

No. SculpSure will not affect your ability to get pregnant. The laser specifically targets fat and does not penetrate deep enough to reach your organs. Hope this helps.

Bruce E. Katz, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. No, SculpSure does not affect fertility. The
energy of the SculpSure laser does not go beyond your subcutaneous layer. The
subcutaneous layer is the layer right beneath the skin. The laser does not
penetrate deep enough to damage or affect your organs.

Julio Clavijo-Alvarez, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

Thanks for sharing your question. I can
appreciate your concern.Sculpsure is based on LASER technology. Light that targets fat only in the case of this procedure. Damage of internal organs from the surface can only be done with radiation therapies. An energy that is different from LASER. You should be safe.

Wishing you the best in your journey
