One of the first things that patients often ask about SculpSure is whether or not it can help them lose weight. And the short answer to that is ‘no.’ SculpSure is a non-surgical procedure that removes stubborn fats around the abdomen/midsection, flanks, inner thighs, back, flanks, and under the chin. The ideal candidate is someone who is already of their ideal weight and has a generally active and healthy lifestyle. To put it another way, it’s a non-surgical cosmetic treatment patient can take to complement their healthy lifestyle. It’s not a weight-loss treatment.
Here are a few more truths about SculpSure:
Truth 1 – Fat cells that have been “killed” through SculpSure and that which the body naturally expelled will not return or regenerate. There is no risk for the same fat cells that have been eliminated from the target areas to ever return.
Truth 2 – SculpSure is a quick and relatively painless procedure, save for minor discomfort on the treatment areas for some patients. Since the procedure uses laser light to kill fat cells, cooling plates will be attached for comfort. The procedure usually takes only about 25 minutes.
Truth 3 – While results are permanent, it’s actually up to the patient whether or not they will regain the lost weight in the same areas. Because while it’s true that the eliminated fat cells won’t return, there is still the risk of regaining all that lost weight back through an unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, or other unhealthy habits.
Truth 4 – You will not see immediate results but it doesn’t mean that your SculpSure treatment failed. The body needs time to naturally expel the targeted fat cell. You will see noticeable results by the sixth week following treatment. Optimal results are achieved 12 weeks after treatment.
This little bit of fact about SculpSure is one of the things that patients appreciate the most because the “weight loss” isn’t dramatically noticeable in one go. It takes several weeks to become visibly noticeable, which means that people won’t know you’ve had anything done since the fat loss was gradual; much like how it happens when you exercise and diet to lose weight. A slow and gradual process.
