What Is SculpSure?

enough to reduce the appearance of stubborn fat in problem areas. In these cases, a different treatment approach is necessary if patients want real and long-lasting results. SculpSure is a convenient body contouring option that can be performed over one’s lunch break in typically less than 30 minutes. Patients can get in and out of the office quickly and immediately return to work, school or shopping after their SculpSure session. SculpSure relies on the power of apoptosis or laser-induced fat cell death. 

Laser heat gently warms the fat cells until they collapse. The body then discards them as waste via the lymphatic system. As time passes, the body will reveal lasting improvement in areas that were previously marred by pockets of stubborn fat. In clinical studies, SculpSure has been shown to help patients lose up to 25% of fat cells in the treatment zone. Thankfully, these discarded fat cells will not regenerate. However, SculpSure treatment should always be combined with a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

How Does SculpSure Work?

Pockets of fat are composed of many tiny fat cells. The number of cells stored in the body typically remains constant throughout adult life. Fat cells increase and decrease in size based on weight gain or loss. When diet and exercise shrink fat cells to an optimal size and fat is still visibly present, SculpSure in Denver may present a viable solution. By gently heating fat cells to a temperature of 42-47 degrees Celsius, SculpSure damages the structural integrity of fat cells and they are destroyed. For countless patients, SculpSure has been the non-invasive treatment option that solved their stubborn fat problem.

What Can I Expect After My SculpSure Session?

One of the greatest advantages of SculpSure is that there is no downtime. Patients can quickly and easily resume their normal activities and schedules. Side effects tend to be restricted to a feeling of soreness in the treatment zone that is on par with muscle exhaustion after an intense workout at the gym.

To support the healing process, you can gently massage the treatment areas and exercise the same day to help the body flush out the broken-down fatty tissue. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids when you get home and continue to hydrate properly in the coming weeks and months.

What Can I Expect From My Recovery?

Most patients feel a tingling sensation throughout their procedure. This sensation is well tolerated because the SculpSure device includes a cooling plate. Most patients describe a level of discomfort that is somewhere between 3 and 4 on a 10-point scale. The energy level is typically slowly increased based on the patient's comfort level. One of the great things about SculpSure is that this level of discomfort is reduced to 0 after the procedure is over. No recovery period or activity restrictions are necessary. Patients may leave the office and return to their normal routine after their SculpSure technician clears them.

SculpSure FAQs

Will I be able to fly after SculpSure?

Yes. You can get on a plane right away. However, since you may experience some mild soreness in the treatment areas after SculpSure, a longer flight might be uncomfortable.

Can I drink alcohol after SculpSure?

Yes. You can have a cocktail the same day after receiving treatment with SculptSure.

Is SculpSure painful?

No, SculpSure is not painful. Mild soreness is common in the treatment areas after your session, but this is similar to post-workout muscle fatigue and should die down within a few hours or by the end of the day. The discomfort won’t be enough to prohibit you from resuming your normal activities right away.

What about sun exposure after SculptSure? Is it safe?

Yes. SculpSure’s laser energy penetrates the skin at least half an inch below the epidermis, so sunbathing after your session is permissible. However, to be on the safer side, Dr. Weber advises postponing this activity for 7 days before and after treatment.

Who makes the best candidate for SculpSure?

Adult patients who have not been able to get rid of stubborn fat through traditional means such as diet and exercise may be excellent candidates for SculpSure in Lone Tree. The procedure is generally limited to patients with no serious medical conditions.

A positive outlook and realistic expectations are a requirement for candidacy. SculpSure is a fat loss solution – NOT a weight loss treatment. Patients who are overweight or obese are encouraged to talk to Dr. Weber about getting their weight to a target level before undergoing the procedure.
