Many people feel conflicted when they think of their current body weight. Feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable with your body weight is not an uncommon sensation. In certain cases, some people may feel that exercising and proper dieting alone is not getting them the results they seek. Sometimes an extra step may be necessary to aid in the weight loss process. Our laser technician, Sabrina now offers SculpSure, an innovative solution to sculpt and define the body.

What Can a SculpSure Treatment Be Used to Treat?

SculpSure FDA-approved laser treatment targets stubborn fat across multiple areas of the body. We utilize this precise body contouring procedure to sculpt the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, outer thighs, and upper arms. The versatile applicators allow our specialists to treat multiple locations simultaneously, delivering a comprehensive and cohesive sculpted appearance.

How Does SculpSure Work?

The energy provided by the laser is used to heat fat cells beneath the skin, without affecting the surface of the skin. Upon application, SculpSure raises the temperatures of the fat cells. The heat causes the fat cells to deteriorate, weakening them in structure. Over a period of approximately 3 months, the lymphatic system processes and erases the damaged and weakened fat cells.

Following this period, the fat cells are permanently destroyed and will not regenerate, leaving you with the improved look you’ve been longing for. Patients can see results as fast as 6 weeks. Optimal SculpSure results can be typically noticed around 12 weeks after the procedure.

What Are Some Benefits of SculpSure?

Massage the treated zones gently twice a day for a few weeks to encourage your body to clear the damaged fat cells. Drink abundant water to efficiently flush the unwanted fat cells from your system.

When Will I See Results From SculpSure?

Your body requires time to naturally process the dead fat cells. Most Boston SculpSure patients expect to see beautiful preliminary contouring within six weeks. You achieve your optimal results at the twelve-week mark as your internal systems finalize the complete removal of the fat.

How Long Do Results Last?

The advanced laser heat permanently eliminates the treated tissue. Once your body clears the destroyed fat cells, those specific structures are gone forever. Maintaining a stable body weight through diet and exercise ensures your beautifully contoured results remain permanent.

SculpSure vs. Liposuction

Liposuction	A plastic surgery operation that extracts fat manually.	Requires weeks of dedicated physical recovery.

Can SculpSure Be Combined With Other Treatments?
