I just attempted to have my first Sculptsure treatment and had to have the doctor stop after 4 minutes. The pain was so intense. In the past, I have had coolsculpting and didn't have a problem. Did the dr. do something wrong?

Answer: SculpSure treatment should not be painful We have performed many SculpSure treatments by now and it should really just be "uncomfortable" at the most without being painful. If you are so painful within the first few minutes, there is a chance that the Dr. doing your treatment may have "clipped" your skin by accident while putting on the applicator. This can be the painful feeling you experienced. All he/she needs to do is to re-attach the applicator (maybe loosen up the straps a little so your skin won't get caught within the brackets). It is an excellent procedure and we have seen great results with it. Keep this in mind in case you would like to try it again. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Answer: Pain with Sculpsure--Try "Fire and Ice"--Coolsculpting/Vanquish, Vaser, ThermiRF There can be some discomfort with Sculpsure and it could be due to the settings used. I recommend a "Fire and Ice" treatment with Coolsculpting and Vanquish which will give you better results. VASER and ThermiRF are also an alternative. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
