SculpSure uses a 1060nm laser to heat fat cells beneath the skin to a temperature that damages them without harming the skin above. Over the following weeks the body clears those cells naturally. It is FDA-cleared for the abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs and the area under the chin.
SculpSure or Coolsculpting?
We offer both. Coolsculpting freezes fat; SculpSure heats it. SculpSure treatments are shorter (25 minutes), the applicators are flat so they can treat areas that are hard to pinch, and there is no suction, so bruising is rare. Coolsculpting can treat larger pinchable bulges in one session. Dr. Darvish will recommend one or the other based on where the fat is and how your body carries it, not on which machine is free that day.
What to expect
During. Flat applicators are strapped over the area. You will feel cycles of warmth and cooling for 25 minutes. Most patients read or answer email.
After. Nothing to recover from. Some tenderness for a few days, like a tough workout. Results appear over six to twelve weeks, with most patients seeing about a 24 percent reduction in treated fat per session.
A comprehensive approach
Body contouring works best with a plan. Your consultation covers SculpSure, Coolsculpting and BodyFX for skin tightening together, so you get one coordinated recommendation and a total cost before anything is booked.
Frequently asked questions
Is the fat reduction permanent?
Yes. Treated fat cells are cleared by the body and do not come back. Remaining cells can still grow with weight gain, so results hold best with a stable weight.
How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need one or two sessions spaced about six weeks apart. Dr. Darvish will tell you at your consultation.
Does it hurt?
You feel deep warmth that cycles with cooling. It is uncomfortable for some, painful for few, and over in 25 minutes.
Is there downtime?
No. You can go straight back to work or the gym.
Who is a good candidate?
Someone near a healthy weight with specific stubborn areas. It is not a weight loss treatment. For that, see our weight loss program.
