SculpSure®

SculpSure® for Fat Reduction and Body Sculpting


Unveil a leaner, more sculpted body through SculpSure®! As the first FDA-approved treatment for customizable, non-invasive lipolysis of the flanks and the abdomen, SculpSure is a cutting-edge, comfortable treatment that uses controlled, light-based technology to trim away stubborn fat. This effective non-invasive, non-surgical procedure is a great option for those interested in body sculpting and body contouring.

SculpSure uses what’s called controlled hyperthermic fat reduction, a unique, state-of-the-art technology that heats tissues enough to disrupt fat cells but not enough to damage dermal tissue. Plus, the treatment’s Contact Cooling keeps patients comfortable throughout each short, 25-minute procedure.

While most patients see optimal results in as little as 12 weeks with SculpSure, some will even see changes in six weeks. As the body eliminates its disrupted fat cells, it leaves behind a leaner, more sculpted appearance in its place.

What Can I Expect from SculpSure Treatments?

At your SculpSure appointment, your dermatology provider will start by discussing your body contouring goals and assessing the areas you wish to treat. The session begins with the application of a cooling gel to the targeted areas to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The SculpSure device will then be placed on your skin, where it will deliver controlled laser energy to target and eliminate fat cells.

The treatment typically takes about 25 minutes per area, and you may feel a warming sensation or mild discomfort as the device works. This discomfort is generally well-managed by the device's built-in cooling system. After the treatment, you may experience some mild redness or tenderness in the treated area, but these effects usually subside quickly, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
