SculpSure
"SculpSure enables targeted body shaping. The laser system destroys the fat cells under the skin and thus enables minimally invasive fat reduction in contrast to invasive liposuction. Suitable regions for treatment are the lower or upper abdomen, hips, the so-called love handles, inner sides of the upper arms and thighs. The laser system can be used year-round and does not entail any downtime for patients."
SculpSure Mode of action
The SculpSure uses a state-of-the-art, laser-based technology to apply thermal energy (heat) to the Fat cells. With the help of holding straps, 1-4 flexible applicators can be placed in different locations. Due to the penetration of the laser energy with the wavelength 1060nm, the fat cells are heated up to 42-47°C. In this temperature range, the fat cells are destroyed and the surrounding tissue is not damaged. In addition, the heating causes stimulation of collagen and elastin production. During the whole process, contact cooling provides pain reduction. The treatment is described as comfortable and usually well tolerated.
SculpSure Procedure
Before treatment In a consultation, we will determine what your goals are and which areas are to be treated. Sun exposure should be avoided for one week before the start of treatment. The skin must be free of lotions, creams and body oils. Hair must also be removed and the skin should not be damaged or irritated.
The treatment lasts 25 minutes. First, 1-4 applicators are attached to the areas to be treated with retaining straps. This allows the fat cells under the skin to be heated to 42-47°C and contact cooling reduces pain. An area of approx. 24 cm2 can be treated per zone. With a maximum of 4 applicators, a treatment area of 96 cm2 is therefore possible.
After treatment you can go about your normal everyday activities. Drinking enough fluids and light exercise will help to remove the broken down fat via the lymphatic system. We recommend drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water a day and going for a walk or resuming your normal exercise program. Massage the area twice a day for 5-10 minutes. Massages should be continued until your next treatment or for up to 12 weeks if you only have one treatment.
First results are visible after about 6 weeks. A fat cell reduction of 20 - 25% can be expected. A follow-up check should take place in the practice after 12 weeks.
