What to Expect with SculpSure Treatment
Treatment typically takes less than half an hour. You can expect to feel a cooling sensation when it begins. Cooling will be on to keep the skin comfortable throughout the entire procedure. The laser will cycle on and off, raising the temperature of the fat cells and destroying them. Most patients feel a tingling sensation or deep warmth intermittently throughout treatment. The procedure is virtually painless and well tolerated, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
How Does SculpSure Work?
SculpSure is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that uses a light-based laser to destroy fat cells, even in difficult-to-sculpt areas such as the stomach and inner thighs. The laser-guided system directs laser energy into the treatment areas, heating the fat cells under the skin without affecting the skin’s surface or surrounding tissue.
When the fat cells are heated, their structural integrity is destroyed, which causes them to break away from the surrounding tissues. The body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymph system over a 3-month period following the procedure.
Results are visible in as early as 6 weeks, with optimal results typically seen at approximately 12 weeks. Body contouring results are long-lasting, as fat cells treated with SculpSure are permanently destroyed and will not regenerate.

How Many SculpSure Treatments Are Needed?
SculpSure is a highly-effective, non-invasive fat reduction procedure. Most patients will see results in as little as one treatment. More treatments may be needed to achieve your personal aesthetic goals. If more than one treatment is recommended, treatments will be performed 6 weeks apart.
