I've always had a stubborn tummy area and when I heard about Sculpture it seemed too good to be true. I had to try it, I had my upper and lower belly done in the same day. The treatment itself was painless, just a slight heating and cooling, I went quite high in temperature as I felt that I could stand the heat and did quite well.
I felt great afterwards and even went to do my Pilates class the next day. For the following 2 weeks, there was a slight discomfort when I wore tighter trousers and I did not massage my belly area too much like we were advised to because it felt tender.
I did get a couple of nodules (again normal) that felt hard but once I was able to massage these areas they started to disperse.
By my 3rd week, I already felt like there was a slight difference, it was strange to feel my tummy area and not have the roll of fat hanging over my trousers.
Even though the full effect is not visible till about the 12 week mark, I know already that theres a difference, I'm in my 4th week now.
I would recommend Molly and David Boudreault from Illuminate anytime. They made me feel so comfortable and made sure I was always feeling ok. I felt like I was on a social outing, only with me strapped to a machine!
Cant wait for the full effect to take place.

Great, thank you for posting! Do you have any pics you can share? It would be great to see your progress over the next few weeks!

How long did your procedure take?

I don't know if you're thinking about having any other procedures done in the future, but if you are, you can post your review and even your pics right in the doctor's office with your iPhone via the RealSelf app. You can download it here.

Can wait to see your results! Keep us posted!

Hi. I was wondering if you are still happy with your procedure. I am thinking of having it done. I'm the same age and live on the Peninsula as well. Thanks so much!

You weren't big to begin with, but it looks to me as if you're a bit smaller/smoother, there (in these pics)!

Did you see further results as more time has passed?
August 9, 2016
It has stayed the same after 12 weeks, most people have 2 sessions in one area, mine has been one and I'm quite happy with it. No diets or extra exercises gave me result seen above.
