The procedure works by applying multiple laser applicators over the area of unwanted fat. These applicators emit laser energy to heat up the fat to a level that kills fat cells. The skin is simultaneously cooled to keep the treatment comfortable and protect the skin from thermal injury. Laser energy is used to target and heat fat cells under the skin without affecting the skin's surface. SculpSure® raises the temperature of fat cells damaging their structural integrity. Contact Cooling™ stays on throughout the treatment, which keeps the skin safe and comfortable. The damaged fat cells are removed naturally from your body through your lymphatic system. Once the fat cells are removed from your body, they cannot regrow.

At the beginning of the treatment you will feel a slight warming sensation. Contact Cooling™ stays on throughout the treatment, which helps keep the skin safe and comfortable.

2 minutes into the treatment you will start to feel peaks of warmth followed by cooling.

4 minutes into the treatment you will feel deep warmth and tingling. Some clients feel a sensation of pressure or prickling — this is okay! The warmth builds to peaks of deep heating. This lets you know that you are in the fat destruction zone!

During the remaining 21 minutes you will feel continuous cycles of deep heat as well as cooling sensations throughout your treatment.

1. Your skin should be free of creams or lotions.

2. If you have thick hair in the treatment area, shave or trim before the treatment.

3. Wear plain black undergarments, this provides a consistent look in your before-and-after photos.

4. Have a light meal and drink three glasses of water.

5. Preparing for a big event? Make sure you book your first treatment three months prior for optimal results.

Since there is no downtime, you can get back to your normal routine right away.  For the best results, we suggest the following:

Gently massage the area twice a day for 5-10 minutes until any tissue tenderness is resolved.

Be sure to drink water — ideally 8 or more glasses each day. 

Any exercise, even light cardio or low-impact workouts like walking or stretching, helps the damaged fat cells move through the lymphatic system.

Maintaining your weight and healthy eating will allow you to fully appreciate the benefits of your treatment. 

The fat cells that die as a result of a SculpSure® treatment will never return. To ensure the results are long-term, patients should follow a healthy diet and exercise regime.

You may experience mild redness, tenderness, swelling or tissue firmness in the treatment area. Tenderness may last two weeks or longer.
