Does SculpSure make it more difficult for your body to naturally lose fat and shed additional weight?

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is intended to help you with your weight loss goals. SculpSure is meant to assist you in your healthy lifestyle because SculpSure can target the fat in the problem areas like the flanks and abdomen. The treatment can be treated to ensure that you reach your goals. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

SculpSure will not impede weight loss, but it should never be used as a weight loss treatment.  SculpSure was designed to contour problematic areas of fat that do not yield with traditional dieting or exercise. It provides a nice non-surgical option for patients who cannot afford the downtime associated with surgery.  On average patients will lose up to 25% of body fat in the treated areas while the heat emitted from the laser can work to firm and taut the skin.  If you are interested in the procedure, I recommend you have a consultation with a practice who is fully qualified and trained in this procedure.

Sculpsure is a noninvasive laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health.The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12. There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of her patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatmentSince I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results. I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals.

Non surgical body contouring with devices like Sculpsure do not make it any harder for you to lose weight if anything it helps my patients get motivated to lose more weight and to give them enhanced results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Having a SculpSure treatment should not make it more difficult to lose fat and weight after the procedure.  A single SculpSure treatment session will normally cause about 24% of the fat cells in the treated area to be destroyed over time.  Body metabolism should not be affected by the procedure as well.  If the skin of the abdomen (stomach) is not loose before the treatment, it should not become loose or flabby after the procedure.  

No. Sculpture will not adversely affect your body's ability to lose weight. Nor does it affect your metabolism. However, some patients find that it does help their motivation to go on and lose more weight. Having said all of that, it is not a weight loss technique. It is about body contouring. Hope this helps. 

Hello and thank you for your question. I have treated many patients and studied and participated in multiple studies. Sculpsure does not affect your body's ability to loose weight.  I have noticed and many of my patients have reported so that they tend to loose more weight after their sculpsure treatment because it provides them an additional boost after they see their body change for the better in very resistant areas. You are encouraged to continue your regular exercise routine and stay hydrated.It will not interfere with your results as all, but rather improve them.  If you are worried about loose skin, it is very unlikely to be caused by a non invasive method like SculpSure, but the real answer depends on your current stomach and the skin quality. You still should get an expert consultation and discuss your goals. Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani

SculpSure is not a weight-loss procedure. It is only meant for stubborn pockets of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise. If you are overweight, you should try to get as close to your ideal weight as possible before turning to SculpSure to give your shape final touches. 
SculpSure removes fat in about 25 minutes. Once the fat cells have been eliminated, they will not regenerate. Reshaping your body with SculpSure will have no effect on further weight loss. In fact, getting the shape you want should inspire you to maintain or even improve on it through a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a good candidate for body contouring with SculpSure.

Thank you for your question. No,
SculpSure will not make it more difficult for your body to lose fat and shed
additional weight. Also, SculpSure is more of a body contouring procedure and
should not be viewed as a weight loss system. SculpSure works for excess
fat or stubborn areas of fat. There is no way of telling exactly how many
pounds each patient will lose after each treatment. Patients that are normal to
overweight will see the best results over patients that are obese. Additionally
SculpSure helps promote collagen or elastin production for tighter skin when
the fat cells are heated up with the laser. There are no affects to your
metabolism. If you are interested, I recommend consulting with a qualified
physician for a full consultation. Good Luck!

SculpSure reduces fat on average 25% in the targeted areas, there is no weight loss.  This non surgical body contouring method works best on people at or near their ideal body weight.  It does not and will not affect current or any future weight loss efforts.
