Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
SculpSure versus CoolSculpting for menopausal abdomen weight gain.
SculpSure can help
Aug 21, 2018
SculpSure definitely can help reduce some of the unwanted fat. However, I would highly recommend a consultation with a provider skilled in the services. That is the only way to get a direct assessment of your body and your individual needs.
Is this the best way for me to lose weight? Is there a plan for monthly payment?
Weight Loss
Jun 5, 2018
SculpSure is great way to non-surgically get rid of areas of fat. But, it is not a “weight loss” device. The ideal candidate is someone who is at or near their ideal weight, but still has regions of excess fat that will not go away with diet and exercise.
For the initial weight loss, there are several dietary strategies. It would be best if you worked with a local clinician who could give you more specific advice on the best plan for you.

You should always be working on a healthful diet and maintaining regular exercise. However, SculpSure can definitely help reduce some of the fat. The ideal candidate is someone who has a BMI less than 30. There are several technologies available to help reduce fat, from surgical approaches such as liposuction, to the nonsurgical treatments including CoolSculpting, Vanquish and SculpSure. In my experience SculpSure is the best option for nonsurgical treatment.
Got SculpSure done today but barely felt anything during and after. Will this affect the results I get
Little or no discomfort

During the sustain (or maintenance) portion of your treatment, the laser goes through a series of 30 second cycles. A gradual warming period, then a cooling period. It is typical to only feel some intensity toward the end of each warming period.
Your question serves as a great illustration as to how everybody is different. Even for the same patient, the sensation of the treatment varies from region to region. As has been noted, as long as your don’t have any loss of…
9 days post SculpSure, still very swollen and tender. Is that normal?
More time is needed
May 21, 2018
Sorry to hear you are still having tenderness. In my experience it is not terribly uncommon to still have some level of discomfort or soreness in the area extending 1 – 2 weeks. It should be improving over time. If it does not, especially if you notice worsening of the tenderness, please contact the provider who did the treatment for evaluation. Continue to massage the area, stay well-hydrated, and try to get your regular exercise.
Although some of my patients…
