In 25 minutes, this completely non-invasive, laser-based body contouring procedure is designed to destroy stubborn fat cells. Using controlled hyperthermic technology, the fat cells undergo temperature injury from the targeted laser energy, which passes 1060-nm diode laser light through the skin and elevates adipose tissue (fat) to a temperature between 108 and 117 degrees Fahrenheit, the optimal temperature for fat cell destruction.
While the laser is delivering heat to the fat cells, the skin is kept cool and protected by the sapphire surface of the laser delivery system. SculpSure safely treats all skin types from very fair to very dark, without risk of hypo or hyperpigmentation. Once the fat cells die, the immune system clears the body of the dead cells, thereby shrinking the treatment area.
SculpSure’s unique applicators can be arranged to create custom placement, to best treat the patient’s requested areas of concern. While lying down, the applicators are on top of the skin, as energy penetrates into the fat tissue. Clinical studies examining before and after ultrasound measurements found up to a 24% average reduction of adipose tissue after a single treatment. Some patients report a tingling or burning sensation during the procedure, so we monitor and communicate closely with the patient throughout the treatment to adjust and ensure patient comfort. Right afterward, our patients can return to their normal daily activities.
