True or False: Understanding Nonsurgical Fat Reduction with SculpSure®
The summer season is a time when people really want to look and feel their best. And there are more available paths than ever before for people wanting to improve their body contour. Here at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we offer SculpSure® Nonsurgical Fat Reduction, an FDA-approved method to successfully reduce excess fat that diet and exercise may not be able to address. To help explain this safe and remarkable cosmetic treatment and its benefits for patients, we wanted to address a few true and false statements about nonsurgical fat reduction with SculpSure®.
SculpSure® Can Be Used for More Than Just Body Contouring
This is true. In fact, one of the most common uses for SculpSure® Nonsurgical Fat Reduction is addressing submental fat in the neck area that causes the appearance of a “double chin.” One of the things our patients love most about SculpSure® treatments is their ability to actually treat multiple areas at once. For example, a neck treatment to reduce a double chin can happen simultaneously with a treatment to reduce fat under the arm area or abdominal fat. It’s completely up to the patient and their specific needs.
A SculpSure® Treatment Works The Same Way as Liposuction Surgery
This is false. It’s true that the goals of SculpSure® Nonsurgical Fat Reduction and liposuction are to remove stubborn fat from a wide variety of areas around the body, but they do so in very different ways. Unlike liposuction that requires suctioning fat out of the body under sedation, SculpSure® fat reduction utilizes precise wavelengths of laser energy that are directed into the layers of fat just beneath the skin. This controlled warming effect is able to heat up and ultimately break up underlying fat cells, while using surface cooling to help keep the treated area safe and comfortable.
Results Will Take Time to Become Apparent
The final results of a course of SculpSure® nonsurgical fat reduction treatments will be more than worth the wait, but it’s true that patients will need to be patient before seeing their final results. In most cases, more than one treatment session may be required in order to achieve the ideal fat removal results. The body needs time to effectively break up and expel these fat cells, so in most cases, it can take up to six weeks after their last treatment session before their final SculpSure® results have emerged.
SculpSure® Fat Reduction is FDA-approved, safe, and highly effective for helping people treat unwanted fat in areas all over the body.
