The spa matched a cheap price I saw on a coupon site so I booked a Sculpsure fat reduction service. They were nice over the phone and I was super excited as I was paying CASH and thought it would be easier that way. After I filled out the paperwork no verbal instructions were given to me that might give me a heads up on what the treatment would be like. So I was strapped on a table and a device was tightly wrapped onto my lower abdomen. ( I didnt have much fat but just a persistent roll under me bellybutton I never managed to get rid of.) I brought my ipad figuring the treatment would go by quickly in the 25 minute procedure. Well, was I in for a shocker! The very FIRST PULSE it sent into my abdomen felt like I was in LABOR! The escalation was like an arc of pain as the heat and laser fired off. I was shocked as my feet curled and fists clenched in agony. By the second ZAP I screamed to " get this off of me now!" The tech said " you'll get used to it relax." I am no baby but the PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE! I said NO GET ME OFF THIS TABLE NOW! It had only been 2.5 minutes of treatment at that point as I had set my phone timer. I said I want my money back! The tech scoffed and said I have to get my manager and he came in. He said " theres no REFUND once we turn the laser on." I said " oh no you are giving me my money back or I will get an attorney my family member is a lawyer. He balked and I kept insisting and finally I said okay keep $100- ! He refunded my $600- and I left. im not criticizing the staff but be prepared for EXTREME PAIN I liken to having HOT COALS DUMPED ON YOU. Im not sure everyone feels pain like this but its not uncommon.

Everyone feels different during SculpSure. I fell asleep during my sessions on my abdomen. Some state it's a bit more uncomfortable depending how much fat you have. I laid on a table but wasn't strapped down. Also there is a setting on the machine that could be adjusted for intensity. You can read my review and see my results. Good luck.

I meant to say the paddles are placed in an adapter thats clicks on the straps they wrap around you. Is this what you meant when you said you were strapped down?

That very surprising to hear! Would you say that you have a low pain tolerance in general? I've just complete level my 3rd session yesterday, all of which they were able to keep the heat at the highest setting for the entire 25 min. I don't think it was nearly as painful as you've described. Don't get me wrong you DO feel it, but in my personal experience, I dont think think the pain level was any higher than a 3....on a scale of 1-10. I think this is one of those procedures that solely depends on your tolerance. Sorry it didn't work out for you:( I hope you're able to find an alternative that you're happy with.
