1. Consult your cosmetic surgeon
Before you have your first SculpSure fat-melting session, you must first consult your cosmetic surgeon. This is your opportunity to communicate your desired results with your doctor. Based on the information you provide; your doctor will determine the best way to achieve your goals.

2. Ensure you’re an ideal SculpSure candidate
The SculpSure fat melting procedure isn’t a weight-loss treatment. Only those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of below 30, or who are within 10 to 20 pounds of their optimal weight, make viable candidates for SculpSure. If you’re obese, you must shed the necessary weight before you can undergo the treatment.
Certain medical conditions can also disqualify you from a SculpSure fat-melting session. Share your medical history with your doctor so they can confirm if the procedure is safe for you.
3. Avoid specific medications
A few days before treatment, avoid taking blood thinners (such as the painkillers like aspirin and Ibuprofen), as these could increase the chance of the SculpSure fat melting procedure resulting in bruising. Don’t worry about experiencing discomfort during or after the procedure; your surgeon knows how to keep you comfortable.
4. Avoid creams and lotions
Don’t apply any lotions or creams to the areas the SculpSure fat melting treatment will target.
5. Avoid getting sunburnt
The SculpSure fat melting procedure uses a laser to heat fat cells to temperatures they can’t survive, so it’s a good idea to not be suffering from a case of sunburn, severe or otherwise, on the day of your session. Avoid sun exposure for at least a week before treatment.
