First In Austin, SculpSure Non-Invasive Fat Elimination

Historically, stubborn fat has been called that because of the simple fact that it is difficult to get rid of. The fat that stores in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and other areas doesn’t always respond to diet and exercise, at least not the level that most people can maintain. Eliminating localized fat used to involve fat-reducing surgery like liposuction. Today, we use innovative nonsurgical modalities like SculpSure.

Dr. Walden is continually at the forefront of medical progress. Her inclusion of SculpSure into our Austin practice is a testament to the value available in this procedure.

What Is SculpSure?

SculpSure Austin TX | Noninvasive Fat Elimination

SculpSure is a laser device developed by Cynosure for the noninvasive reduction of fat. Via applicator pads, the device targets fat cells with 1060 nanometer wavelengths of energy. This thermal resource is particularly effective at dismantling subcutaneous fat so the body can metabolize and eliminate these cells. In a 25-minute session, up to 24% of fat cells in the treatment area are heated to approximately 111 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature proven to damage the structural integrity of adipocytes.

Who Is a Good Candidate for SculpSure?

Anyone who has stubborn body fat in areas that they can’t seem to reduce with diet and exercise alone is a great candidate. Since it is a body contouring method, SculpSure works best for those who are look to tone areas rather than those seeking more drastic weight loss.

The SculpSure Procedure

A SculpSure treatment can last approximately 30 minutes (longer if multiple areas are treated). Patients are encouraged to dress comfortably for their appointment. Treatment may be performed immediately after the initial consultation. The provider will mark the desired treatment area and choose the most appropriate applicator pattern to achieve the best results. When the device is activated, the first sensation patients can expect is cooling against the skin. Throughout the process, sensations of deep warming and cooling occur in intervals. Some patients feel tingling or mild cramping. This indicates that energy is permeating fat cells, prompting their destruction.

When Will I See Results?

Many patients see results in as little as 1-2 months and often only need 1 treatment to notice the results.

Are multiple sculpsure treatments needed?

Noticeable improvement can be attained with a single SculpSure treatment (remembering that it takes approximately 6 weeks for fat cells to be eliminated). While this is possible, many patients decide to undergo up to several treatments to refine their shape even more.

Will SculpSure help me lose weight?

SculpSure is a body contouring procedure. While it does stimulate the natural destruction of fat cells, this technique does not result in noticeable weight loss. To be fair, neither does liposuction. These treatments are designed to improve physical appearance and have demonstrated a high capacity to do that. Patients who are interested in body sculpting are encouraged to undergo treatment once they have reached a satisfying weight that they intend to maintain.

Can multiple areas be treated at once?

SculpSure treatment can be conducted on more than one area in a single visit. However, each treatment area is addressed separately. Every area requires approximately 25 minutes. Please let our office know which areas you would like treated during your visit so we can accommodate this in our schedule.

Can SculpSure be combined with other treatments?

Yes. SculpSure can be combined with any number of procedures to improve appearance. After excess fat has been eliminated with this technique, some patients undergo emsculpt treatments to tone the muscles that are now more visible. During your consultation, talk with your provider about the ways in which you would like to refine your appearance. A personal treatment can be developed to help you achieve your desired outcome.

Sculpsure vs. coolsculpting

SculpSure

A procedure like Coolsculpting can take up to 4 hours to complete. Coolsculpting also typically has more discomfort during treatment and patients report some numbness or bruising post treatment. On average SculpSure is more cost efficient as well. This makes it a great choice when compared to Coolsculpting for anybody looking for non-invasive body fat treatments.
