SculpSure®: The Surgery-Free Solution to Stubborn Fat Deposits That Works
Even the most nutrition-conscious and active people can struggle with stubborn areas of fat on their bodies. If that situation rings a bell for you, you might wonder if cosmetic surgery is your only option for eliminating those pockets of excess fat.
Thankfully, technological developments now provide nonsurgical options for removing fat, meaning no incisions and no downtime. One of these options is SculpSure®.
At Enrich Health and Wellness in Boerne, Texas, Maria Cole, APRN, FNP-C, and our team offer this cutting-edge treatment to help patients lose stubborn fat and boost their self-confidence.
In this blog, we review what you need to know about this cosmetic procedure.
Explaining SculpSure
SculpSure is a type of procedure known as lipolysis, a metabolic process of fat removal. This particular cosmetic treatment uses lasers to “melt” stubborn fat deposits.
Without damaging the outer layer of skin, the laser gently heats the fat cells and shrinks them so your body can flush them out of your system. The fat cells are gone for good and unable to regenerate.
This noninvasive treatment can help men and women and is effective on almost any body type. Note, however, that SculpSure isn’t a weight loss tool and works best on those patients with a BMI under 30.
What areas can SculpSure target?
SculpSure can address stubborn fat deposits in the following areas:
- Belly
- Love handles
- Inner and outer thighs
- Back
- Upper arms
At Enrich Health and Wellness, we also offer SculpSure submental treatments to target the area underneath your chin.
What to expect when you see us for SculpSure
Before starting a SculpSure session, we sit down with you to review your medical history and any medications you’re taking. We also discuss your goals and how many sessions it might take to get the look you want.
During the procedure, your provider wraps the SculpSure device around the targeted area like a belt. The laser then applies heat sufficient to melt fat but not damage surrounding tissue. The temperature can range from 107°F to 116°F.
The device alternates between applying the laser and delivering a cooling effect. The procedure takes about 25 minutes, so feel free to relax while we melt away your unwanted fat. You can read a book, look at your phone, or even take a nap.
After each session, you can immediately get back to your routine. SculpSure is a perfect treatment to schedule over your lunch break.
You should see about a 25% reduction in fat after your first session. However, it takes up to 12 weeks to see optimal results.
