SculpSure

Even with the best diet and exercise plan, getting the right shape and curves can be challenging. Healthy eating doesn’t control where the fat loss occurs, and fitness is limited by the muscle-sculpting that you can achieve. Many people don’t want to wait for the results of diet and exercise because this process can take months or years to achieve the desired results. The good news is that cosmetic treatments, such as SculpSure, can speed up this process. This body contouring treatment is non-invasive and FDA-approved, offering effective solutions to destroy those stubborn fat cells and feel more confident about your body shape.

Yes Doctor’s Plastic Surgery Procedure SculpSure

What is a SculpSure Procedure?

Body contouring is a relatively new treatment since the technology has only been around for a few decades. Researchers are finding better ways to target specific areas of the body in order to target fat cells and speed up the process to achieve improved shape and curves. SculpSure uses laser technology that reaches under the skin to target the most stubborn fat cells and destroy them. This technology is FDA-approved and recommended to help patients who want to achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance. The treatment can be targeted to the most stubborn areas, including the thighs, stomach, back, butt, and double chin. During this procedure, the device is targeted in the desired treatment area. It sends laser energy into the skin so the fat cells are heated and damaged. The treatment doesn’t harm any of the surrounding tissues. You won’t see immediate results after this treatment because it takes time for the body to eliminate the destroyed fat cells. In the days and weeks after the laser treatment, these damaged fat cells are naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system, resulting in a reduction of fat in that targeted area. Most people see results from the treatment within 6 – 12 weeks as the body gradually releases the stored fat over time. Multiple treatments can be done to target different areas of the body if you want to reduce fat in several locations.

During the treatment, you might experience a tingling or warming sensation. But there is no need for pain management or anesthesia. SculpSure is an excellent alternative to more invasive cosmetic surgeries, such as liposuction and tummy tucks. The good news is that you don’t need any recovery time after the treatment. SculpSure can be a “lunchtime treatment” because you can return to your normal daily activities immediately after the appointment. The treatment only takes about 25 minutes, and it is relatively painless. You can schedule a separate consultation in advance. Or many patients have their consultation and initial treatment during the same appointment. An experienced cosmetic doctor will discuss your medical history and all applicable information to determine if this treatment fits your unique goals. Additionally, it’s important to discuss potential results so you can maintain the right expectations from this treatment and all other cosmetic services. Since it is a non-invasive treatment, there are minimal side effects after SculpSure. Some people experience mild redness, discomfort, or swelling, but these symptoms go away within a few days. This treatment is a safe and effective solution for people who want to improve their overall appearance and boost the results of diet and exercise.

Types of SculpSure

  • Which SculpSure Procedure is Right for You?

    SculpSure is a dynamic treatment that can be used on different parts of the body. The best thing you can do is talk to your cosmetic surgeon about your preferences and goals, then design a custom treatment plan to help you achieve your desired shape. The technology is the same, regardless of how SculpSure is being used. But different applicators target different areas. For example, it’s necessary to use a smaller applicator on the chin or upper arm area compared to the applicator that would be used for the thighs or stomach. Additionally, treatment time and use of the technology will vary depending on the amount of fat you want to eliminate and the size/location of the treatment area. This treatment is best for people who are trying to get rid of the last few stubborn pounds. It is not designed for significant weight loss. So, your doctor might recommend a diet and exercise program (or other weight loss treatments), then SculpSure as a way to finish the sculpting and fat loss to optimize the results from a healthy lifestyle. SculpSure is best used when there are stubborn pockets of fat that are difficult to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. Sometimes, spots on the body are stubborn to normal weight loss treatments.

  • SculpSure for Stomach Fat

    Abdominal fat is one of the most common concerns when people are losing weight. SculpSure is an effective way to target the extra around your midsection, including front abdominal fat, as well as “muffin tops” on the sides. Pairing SculpSure with a good exercise routine is a great way to shape the stomach area. For example, SculpSure helps to reduce abdominal fat. Then exercise and strength training are beneficial to build the muscle below. Instead of scheduling a tummy tuck or liposuction for the stomach, consider using SculpSure as a way to shape and improve the overall appearance of your abdominal area.

  • SculpSure for Upper Arms

    When excess fat on the upper arms makes your arms look flabby and loose, SculpSure is a great option to reduce the fat so the muscle tone can show through. Even if you are consistent about weight lifting and other muscle-building activities, it can be hard to see the results when there is a layer of fat over the arm muscles. SculpSure technology targets fat cells on the upper arms to destroy the fat so it can be eliminated from the body, leaving strong, thinner arms behind. Smaller SculpSure applicators are perfect for targeting the fat on the upper arms, as well as areas surrounding the arms, such as near the armpits.

  • SculpSure for Thighs

    If you have an hourglass shape, then reduce the fat that ends up on the thighs. Both the inner and outer thighs can be targeted, helping to improve your thigh gap and also reducing the appearance of “saddle bags” on the outer sides of the thighs. Each thigh requires about 25 minutes during the treatment, and many people choose multiple treatments over time. This treatment allows patients to keep their curves and thin their thighs at the same time to achieve the ideal proportions. SculpSure is an alternative to liposuction. Some patients choose to alternate between SculpSure and CoolSculpting on the thighs.

  • SculpSure Under the Chin

    A little bit of fat accumulation under the chin can make someone look like they have a double chin. This submental area can be treated with SculpSure to eliminate fat, which tightens up the area underneath the chin. If you see pictures of yourself and notice that you have a double chin, this treatment might be a great solution. Many people choose SculpSure as an alternative to chin surgery because you can shape the jawline and chin without the need to go under the knife. There is no downtime after a SculpSure chin treatment. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.

Why SculpSure?

Why should you consider SculpSure? There are many benefits available from this non-invasive treatment. Not only is it possible to target the most stubborn areas of fat on the body, but you can also optimize the weight-loss results you achieve through diet and exercise. This form of fat reduction is safe and effective. Plus, it gives you peace of mind to know that the technology is approved by the FDA. It has been tested for efficacy and found to be a safe treatment for fat elimination. One of the most common reasons people choose SculpSure is that they don’t want surgery. This method allows you to destroy fat cells without the need to make any incisions or have surgery. You can get the desired results without the potential risks or side effects after surgery. Plus, many people like the option to avoid anesthesia. The treatment is relatively painless and easy to use on different body parts. It’s a convenient way to boost your weight loss results; each appointment only requires about 25 minutes. Even though there aren’t immediate results after the treatment, the longer-term results are undeniable. SculpSure slims down the targeted area helping to tone and sculpt the body.

What are Concerns for SculpSure?

Should you expect any side effects from using SculpSure technology? The good news is that this treatment is considered “non-invasive” because there is no need for any incisions or surgical points on the body. But there are potential side effects that might occur. These possible side effects are minimal and uncommon. Most people walk away from SculpSure appointments feeling just fine. As you consider these treatments, it’s smart to talk to your cosmetic surgeon to understand the possible results that you might be able to achieve – as well as any potential side effects that could occur. Your doctor will evaluate your health history and any medical concerns, then recommend the best ways to target the stubborn fat areas you would like to treat. One potential concern is that this non-invasive treatment might not deliver the dramatic results that can be achieved through surgery. A cosmetic surgical procedure might be a better option if you are looking for fast and major results. So, you need to consider your goals and expectations. Then, pick the ideal body sculpting treatment to match your unique needs. An experienced cosmetic surgeon can offer recommendations to help you design the ideal treatment plan.

  • Limited Fat Burning Results

    Noticeable fat reduction is possible using SculpSure technology. But some patients have expectations for dramatic fat loss and then feel disappointed when the results don’t turn out as they were hoping. It’s important to have realistic expectations before and after your SculpSure treatments. SculpSure is not as fast and dramatic as liposuction or other forms of cosmetic surgery. But the results can be effective over time. The best solution is to talk to your doctor about the limitations of this treatment. If necessary, your cosmetic surgeon might recommend a combination of treatments to help you achieve the ideal shape and contouring that you desire.
  • Temporary Side Effects

    It’s possible that you might experience a few side effects during and after the treatment. Potential side effects might include swelling and redness on the skin in the treatment area. Sometimes, people find that the treatment area is a little tender and sensitive. If you have side effects, you can expect these side effects to subside after a few days. The side effects are temporary and minimal. There are rare reports of patients experiencing moderate or severe side effects after SculpSure treatments. In order to minimize potential side effects, make sure you are working with an experienced cosmetic doctor who has experience with this technology. The right application of the equipment is key to avoiding complications and side effects.
  • Maintenance Might Be Required

    This treatment targets current fat cells, but you might need repeat treatments in the future if you gain weight again. Even though you can get long-lasting results by targeting the current fat cells, SculpSure doesn’t prevent you from gaining fat in that area again in the future. Once you achieve the desired results, you might choose to maintain a SculpSure treatment schedule occasionally in the future to keep these results. Be realistic about the results and keep in mind that the best long-term solutions come from a combination of SculpSure treatments as well as diet and lifestyle changes to keep the weight off in the future.

Most people require a minimum of 2 treatment sessions, spaced apart with at least several weeks between the appointments. If you want more noticeable results, you might choose more than two appointments. Keep in mind that SculpSure is not a weight loss treatment.

Since SculpSure is a non-invasive treatment, no recovery time is needed after your appointment. Many patients are happy to hear they don’t need to schedule downtime.

Some patients have minimal side effects after the SculpSure treatment, such as redness on the skin, swelling, and a bit of discomfort. But these side effects will go away within a few days. Even though you can return to your normal activities, it’s common for providers to recommend that patients avoid anything that might cause irritation to the treatment area during the first 24 hours. For example, stay away from excessive sweating, strenuous workouts, hot baths, saunas, etc.
Once the fat cells are destroyed and gone after your SculpSure treatment, those specific cells won’t be coming back. But remember that this treatment doesn’t prevent you from gaining weight again in the future. Fat cells don’t regenerate after treatment, but lifestyle choices can increase the likelihood of gaining weight again. If you want to maintain the best results from your SculpSure treatments, then make sure that you are consistent with diet and exercise. The combination of healthy lifestyle choices and this technology is a great way to shape the body and keep it sculpted in the future. Also, some people choose to maintain SculpSure appointments in the future to target any areas that might need a little extra attention.
