Thanks to technological advancements in cosmetic treatments, there are now a number of procedures that any woman or man can undergo without surgery. And one of the latest innovations in non-invasive cosmetic technologies is SculpSure; a non-surgical fat reduction treatment.
Here’s a rundown of what SculpSure is all about:
1. SculpSure in a nutshell
SculpSure is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that eliminates stubborn fats on the belly area, flanks (love handles), back, thighs, and under the chin. It is a laser-assisted fat reduction treatment that targets fat cells from the patient’s trouble spots; heating these cells up to a point where they are no longer viable.
2. It isn’t painful
SculpSure is a non-surgical procedure so patients won’t feel any type of pain typically associated with invasive treatments. Before heat is directed towards the target area/s, cooling plates are applied on the skin to make sure that the surface of the skin stays at a comfortable temperature. At most, patients will feel a warm tingling sensation.
Additionally, SculpSure is actually the only non-surgical, laser-assisted permanent fat reduction procedure cleared by the FDA.
3. There’s no downtime or recovery period
Since SculpSure is a non-invasive procedure that can be done in under an hour, there is no recovery period or downtime. What this simply means is that after the procedure, you can immediately go back to your usual routine.
4. Number of treatments is on a case-to-case basis
As with any other non-invasive cosmetic procedures, the number of treatments or the extent of the treatment plan largely depends on the specific condition of the patient. With SculpSure for instance, the number of treatments you will need depends on the areas to be treated, the amount of fat to be removed, and the size of the area/s. It is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. To achieve optimal results, your doctor will need to evaluate the area/s for treatment and discuss with you your treatment goals.
5. Eliminated fats won’t return
The fat cells that were destroyed and naturally eliminated by your body won’t return. In other words, you won’t ‘regain’ the stubborn fats back. However, there is a chance that you will have fat buildup in the treated areas again if you don’t follow a healthy diet and lifestyle after your treatment.
SculpSure isn’t a weight-loss treatment but rather, a ‘fat loss’ procedure, which simply means that it removes the fats that diet and exercise have been unable to get rid of. And one of the best ways to maintain the results of your SculpSure treatment if you complement it with a healthy lifestyle.
