SculpSure

SculpSure is the first FDA-approved non-invasive laser treatment that is helping many men and women get rid of stubborn fat. This groundbreaking technology harnesses the power of light-based energy for lipolysis of the abdomen and flanks. The SculpSure treatment takes just 25 minutes and can permanently destroy up to 24% of treated fat cells. Typically one treatment is all that is needed to achieve the desired results and there is no downtime for recovery afterwards. Ideal candidates are in good health with an area that has been resistant to diet and exercise.

The SculpSure treatment is described as painless with the sensation of tingling. Results from SculpSure can be seen as soon as 6 weeks after the treatment while final results can be seen after 12 weeks. To learn more about SculpSure and find out if it may be right for you, contact our office to schedule your consultation today.

We are pleased to announce SculpSure has received 510K clearance to market from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of the back, inner thighs, and outer thighs. As SculpSure is already FDA-cleared for the treatment of the abdomen and flanks, the product can now treat 5 different body areas.
