Spring and warmer weather are on the way. If you’ve set a goal to be ready for swimsuit season around springtime, but haven’t yet achieved your ideal physique, treatments are available to help you get there.
Even if you’re particularly nutrition-conscious and fairly active, having a perfectly toned body can be difficult. Thankfully, several cosmetic treatments address stubborn pockets of fat that won’t respond to diet and exercise.
One of those is SculpSure®, which our team, led by Maria Cole, APRN, FNP-C, offers at Enrich Health and Wellness in Boerne, Texas. In this month’s blog, we discuss how this treatment can help you feel confident in your skin this spring and summer.
SculpSure is an example of lipolysis, a metabolic process for fat removal. We use heat from lasers to “melt” pockets of fat while protecting the surrounding tissues.
During the treatment, lasers precisely and gently heat the targeted fat deposits, causing them to shrink. Your body then flushes out the destroyed fat cells, which are gone for good.
This innovative, noninvasive treatment can benefit men and women of all body types. However, note that SculpSure isn’t a weight loss tool. It isn’t suitable for those with a body mass index (BMI) over 30.
Before we begin SculpSure, our team sits down with you for a consultation. We discuss your medical history, any medications you take that may impact the procedure, and your body goals. Depending on the results you want, you may need more than one session.
If you’re a good candidate for SculpSure, we schedule your first session.
When you come in for treatment, our team wraps the device around the targeted area like a belt. We heat the device to a temperature hot enough to melt fat but not so hot that it damages other tissues. The device alternates between heating and cooling to prevent overheating.
The entire SculpSure procedure takes about 25 minutes, and you can resume your usual activities immediately afterward. Expect to see results as soon as six weeks, but it may take up to 12 weeks to notice full results.
If you’re in relatively good health and at or near your goal body weight, SculpSure can help you eliminate those last few stubborn pounds. SculpSure can eliminate fat in several places, including your belly, thighs, arms, back, and chin.
