SculpSure® This treatment is offered in Carlsbad
Even with diet and exercise, most adults have stubborn areas of fat that seem impossible to get rid of. Now with SculpSure®, you can target these problem areas in just 25 minutes without surgery or downtime. This breakthrough non-invasive body contouring treats bothersome areas of fat, helping you achieve the shape you want.
At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, those who want to obtain a slimmer and sculpted appearance should consider getting the SculpSure® treatment. This way, they can attain the beautiful, long-lasting results they desire!
Candidates for SculpSure®
SculpSure® is ideal for people with trouble spots, particularly those that seem resistant to diet and exercise. For the most part, patients should be within 10 to 30 pounds of their weight goal and have a body mass index (BMI) of less than 30.
It’s important to keep in mind that SculpSure® is a body contouring treatment and not a weight loss option. This means that it will only address subcutaneous fat. For visceral fat, our providers can come up with a weight loss plan to help bring you near your target weight.
Patients should have good skin elasticity so that the skin can pop back into place. While SculpSure® can easily destroy fat cells, it can’t tighten the loose skin. This procedure offers realistic-looking results that smooth your contour.
While SculpSure® is a good option for those with excess fat pockets, not everyone is a good candidate. Individuals with certain health conditions or implanted devices should reconsider the treatment, as heat can cause skin sensitivity or affect the implant. While SculpSure® doesn’t involve radiation, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consider rescheduling the treatment until it is considered safe.
How SculpSure® Works
SculpSure® is a procedure that improves the appearance of the body by using heat to target and destroy fat cells in troublesome areas. The 1060 nm wavelength’s specific affinity for adipose tissue, coupled with minimal absorption in the dermis, allows SculpSure® to efficiently treat areas of troublesome fat in just 25 minutes. The procedure can destroy up to 25% of treated fat in problem areas, such as the abdomen and love handles.
Most patients feel a tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment, which is generally easily tolerated. The SculpSure® treatment alternates between warming and cooling technology, which keeps the skin from overheating. Most patients don’t need anesthesia, but our providers can adjust the settings to make things more comfortable for you.
Over time, the body naturally eliminates the disrupted fat cells with results seen as quickly as six weeks, and optimal results are usually seen in as few as 12 weeks.
SculpSure® Recovery
There is no downtime with SculpSure®, so you can have the treatment during your lunch hour and return to work immediately. You might feel some tenderness, redness, or mild swelling in the area, but those symptoms pass within a few hours. Most patients associate these symptoms with mild cramps or muscle soreness, similar to exercising.
Bruising is rare but can happen if you are prone to it. Bruises shouldn’t last more than a couple of days, depending on the size of the area treated. Firmness can also occur, but this is a normal effect of the fat cells breaking down under the skin. The symptoms should resolve within a few weeks, as the lymphatic system flushes out the damaged fat.
For best results, gently massage the target area twice a day for five to 10 minutes. This speeds up circulation and encourages the elimination of fat cells. Stay active as much as possible, but you should try to stay indoors or away from sun exposure. However, if you do go out, don’t forget to wear sunblock.
SculpSure® Results
Many patients start to see results as early as six weeks following treatment, as the body begins to eliminate the destroyed fat cells. Optimal results are usually seen at 12 weeks. Treated fat cells are destroyed during the treatment and will not regenerate.
Most people enjoy good results with as little as one treatment. However, you may want to have additional treatments based on your desired results. Ask your treatment provider about the best treatment plan for you.
To maintain results, it’s best to exercise regularly and follow a balanced diet. Keep in mind that an unhealthy lifestyle could lead to fat cells growing, different from the ones eliminated. Depending on your body and any changes you may notice, you may want to consider booking maintenance treatments every year or so. Our providers can help you maintain your shape so that you always look your best.

Is There an Age Limit for Getting SculpSure®?
There is no age limit for getting a SculpSure® treatment, but the procedure works best for patients between their 20s and 50s. Older individuals can lack the skin elasticity required to offer optimal results. However, this can be addressed by combining it with skin tightening procedures.
Can I Get Any Body Sculpting Treatments If I Already Had SculpSure®?
Yes, you can get other body sculpting treatments such as CoolSculpting® for excess fat removal or Fraxel® for skin tightening. It’s recommended that you wait a week or two before getting the treatment. Your skin needs time to heal.
Can I Get a SculpSure® Treatment If I Have a Tattoo in the Treated Area?
Normally, you can get a SculpSure® treatment if you have a tattoo in the target area. That said, caution is advised, as the heat of the laser can interact with the ink. Talk with our providers so they can determine a safe setting.
