What Can I Expect From My First SculpSure Treatment?

What Can I Expect From My First SculpSure Treatment?

If you’re looking for an effective body contouring treatment that can be performed in just 25 minutes, then it’s time to introduce yourself to SculpSure – the latest fat reduction procedure available at Illuminate Plastic Surgery in Palo Alto, CA!*

SculpSure is the first FDA-approved laser treatment for fat reduction in the flanks and abdomen. The treatment uses powerful laser energy to quickly heat up fat cells in the treatment area, which are eventually destroyed and eliminated by the body.* If you are bothered by stubborn fat deposits, this approach targets them directly.

Despite the heating involved with the procedure, patients feel no discomfort, excessive warmth, or itching.* That makes SculpSure one of the fastest and most comfortable non-invasive body contouring treatments available on the market today.*

What To Expect From Your Treatment

During your SculpSure consultation with Illuminate Plastic Surgery founder Dr. David Boudreault, you’ll be walked through what you can expect from this procedure. Most patients who are candidates for SculpSure will receive treatment the same day as their initial evaluation for an efficient, streamlined visit.

The SculpSure treatment typically involves the following steps:

  • The procedure’s framework will be placed on the abdomen or flanks, depending on what area you’d like to treat;
  • Laser applicators will be applied to the area within the framework;
  • During the first five minutes of the treatment, the laser will be heated up to optimal temperatures; and
  • The lasers will go through a cycle of heating and cooling, which aids in destroying the fat cells.

All in all, the SculpSure treatment takes about 25 minutes to perform. Patients can expect up to a 24% reduction in fat.* Dr. Boudreault can work with you to determine how many SculpSure treatments you’ll need to see ideal results.
