Many people struggle with stubborn fat deposits that resist even the most rigorous diets and exercise routines, leaving them frustrated and seeking solutions. These persistent problem areas, whether on the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, can feel particularly discouraging because they often don’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods. This can lead to a cycle of ineffective attempts and mounting dissatisfaction with the lack of results.
At Shaheen Vascular, Dr. Shaheen uses innovative procedures and treatments to help each of our patients in Mountain View and San Jose, CA, achieve the desired outcome. If you are looking for a solution to the stubborn fat situated around your midsection, love handles, and pockets of fat located in other areas of your body, Dr. Shaheen may recommend SculpSure. SculpSure offers a non-invasive, FDA-approved option that effectively targets and reduces these stubborn fat areas.
What Is SculpSure?
SculpSure is an FDA-approved, non-invasive body contouring treatment that melts away fat using lasers. This innovative treatment targets fat cells and permanently destroys them during a 25-minute session, without damaging the surrounding tissue. SculpSure treats stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs. The destroyed fat cells are then naturally eliminated from the body over time, resulting in a slimmer appearance.
Benefits of SculpSure
No Recovery Time
SculpSure treatments require no downtime, allowing you to immediately return to your daily activities. This feature makes them perfect for people with hectic schedules.
Non-Invasive Treatment
SculpSure is a completely non-invasive fat reduction treatment, eliminating the risks associated with surgical procedures. It uses laser technology to safely target and reduce fat cells.
Treatment Takes Just 25 Minutes
Each SculpSure treatment takes just 25 minutes to complete, making it a quick and efficient option for fat reduction. This short duration fits easily into a lunch break or a spare half hour in your day.
Destroys Up to 24% of Fat Cells in a Problem Area Per Session
SculpSure can eliminate up to 24% of treated fat cells in one session, significantly reducing fat in targeted areas. This effectiveness helps you achieve noticeable results faster.
Results in 6-12 Weeks
The full benefits of SculpSure appear within six to 12 weeks as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells. This gradual improvement allows for a natural-looking reduction in fat.
What to Anticipate: How Does the SculpSure Treatment Work?
Treatment Process
SculpSure uses lasers to target and destroy pockets of fat beneath the skin’s surface. During the treatment, the laser device is strapped to a targeted area of fat while the patient is treated in a relaxed and reclined position.
Unlike other fat-loss treatments that cause discomfort from freezing or suction, SculpSure is non-invasive and does not sting, pinch, or burn. Patients may experience a deep warmth or tingling sensation, but this is typically well-tolerated.
During the treatment, fat cells are heated beyond repair, and over time the body will break them down and remove them. SculpSure treatment is different from traditional dietary fat loss, during which the fat cells shrink, but their quantity remains the same. When using SculpSure, the actual number of fat cells is decreased, which results in a more permanent fat-loss effect. The treatment lasts approximately 25 minutes and requires no downtime.
Recovery and Aftercare
After receiving treatment, patients are free to continue their daily routine. Some patients may experience mild tenderness, swelling, or redness in the treated area post-treatment. These symptoms are typically mild and resolve independently within a few days.
To enhance recovery, increase hydration, gently massage the treated areas, avoid high heat sources like saunas, and maintain light to moderate physical activity. For best results, multiple sessions of SculpSure treatments are typically recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions About SculpSure
How Many SculpSure Treatments Are Needed for Visible Results?
The number of SculpSure treatments needed varies based on the individual’s specific fat reduction goals and the characteristics of the targeted fat. Most people see significant results after one session, but some may benefit from multiple treatments.
How Long Do the Results of SculpSure Last?
The results of SculpSure are intended to be permanent because the fat cells destroyed during the treatment are eliminated from the body and cannot regenerate. However, adhering to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is important to maintain optimal results. Any remaining fat cells in the treated area can still enlarge with significant weight gain.
What Is the Difference Between SculpSure and Treatments Like CoolSculpting®?
SculpSure and CoolSculpting offer non-invasive fat reduction using different technologies; SculpSure heats and destroys fat cells with lasers, while CoolSculpting freezes them through cryolipolysis. SculpSure treatments are quicker, around 25 minutes, and can target multiple areas simultaneously with less discomfort. CoolSculpting sessions take longer, up to an hour per area, and may cause some discomfort due to the freezing process.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for SculpSure?
SculpSure is ideal for people who are in good health overall but still struggling to eliminate pockets of stubborn fat located around the flanks and abdomen. The treatment is most effective for patients who follow a healthy diet and exercise plan but can still stand to lose some weight. SculpSure is not recommended for people who fall under the category of medically obese.
