I am 36, 5'4", 125 pounds and Asian American.
My body type is genetically predisposed to my having a short torso; where a difference in 10 pounds dramatically collects around my waistline. I'm an omnivore and recently went on the ketogenic diet. Despite a regimented workout, (30 min stair master/4 days + 4-day split), my midsection remains soft, and I'd always been that way. I'd been doing research on skin tightening/fat removal and wanted to slim my short mid-section, short of doing liposuction.
I came across New Skin and Body Aesthetics and met with RN Susan for my consult to address my issues. She suggested a combo treatment for my abdomen and back flanks area. She was friendly, informative, and patiently answered all of my questions. She gave a thorough walkthrough of the procedure and of the office; it's beautiful, serene, and clean. The staff is very friendly, warm and supportive.
I am currently midway through my treatment, so I will definitely update with before and after pics.
I opted to do Sculpsure first (since it was mentioned that it would be more painful in my back flanks area) then finish up with my Exilis Ultra 360 treatments for the combo.
She outfitted me with the apparatus and made sure that the plates had full contact with the area and checked to make I was comfortable. Another machine was brought in to cool the area during the procedure. That was the best part! It blew ice cold air while Sculpsure worked and didn't impede in the process in anyway.
The procedure itself was pretty straightforward - find the proper size plates for the area, create full contact, and cooling during the 25 min procedure (with constant feedback). However, due to the back flanks having more nerves and much more vascular in nature, I thought I could handle the pain that accompanied the warming cycle. It was very difficult for me. Everyone has a different threshold for pain; hormones, hydration, etc. make a huge difference as well.
I've been doing some light cardio after the session and massaging the area and remaining hydrated. After my first session, I've noticed a huge difference in how I fit in my jeans! I'm excited to see final results in 12 weeks! I'm glad I chose this method instead of going under the knife and highly recommend anyone to try it. Just be wary of your pain tolerance and remember "no pain, no gain!"

So glad it was a successful procedure for you. Do you have before and after pics? I am thinking about getting it done here in Miami.

I’m reading your review and I’m agreeing with you on the pain level of Sculptsure on the flanks. I had my first session last week, and I’m pretty tolerant of pain. But, PHEWWW, the first time blast of the heat was like..... Wowsa!! I, too, felt like my pants were fitting more comfortable. Can’t wait for session #2! Congrats to you!
