SculpSure Laser Treatment in New York

Sculpt Your Body

Weight loss is difficult, especially as men and women age. Fat becomes stubborn and tends to form pouches on the abdomen, hips, and thighs, despite efforts to follow a healthy diet, exercise, and sleeping patterns. In 2015, the FDA approved SculpSure1, a laser treatment to eliminate fat without having to make an incision.

This non-invasive treatment relies on a technology that targets fat cells and delivers hyperthermic temperature to the area. SculpSure working by emitting extreme cold temperatures to shock fat cells because they are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than the surrounding tissue. Once the fat cell is shocked, it releases from your tissues and dies over the course of a few weeks.

How Does SculpSure Work?

At the same time, SculpSure’s2 application head sends heat into the skin so no adverse effect occurs from the cold temperatures. It also reduces the likelihood of the patient experiencing any pain from the treatment. After the fat cells are destroyed, the body naturally expels them and leaves the treated area flat, firm, and tighter than it was prior to treatment. The treatment lasts half an hour and typically requires only one session, and patients can see results as quickly as six weeks and optimal results in as few as twelve weeks. The last also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin – two proteins that help the body maintain a healthy and firm appearance. There is no downtime needed post-procedure. Patients can return right back to work and other activities following treatment.

SculpSure or Coolsculpting – What Works Best?

  1. SculpSure melts fat; Coolsculpting freezes fat cells and destroys them
  2. Coolsculpting has been FDA-approved for 7 years. SculpSure has been in the market since 2015. There are more clinical studies and patients who underwent Coolsculpting treatments and therefore it is considered the gold standard in non-surgical fat removal. The FDA approved Coolsculpting3 to treat multiple body areas, whereas SculpSure is only cleared for the abdomen, flanks, and fat under the chin.
  3. Both treatments are not painful; at the same time, expect some discomfort – 35 minutes for Coolsculpting with Dr. Rokhsar’s new Cooladvantage applicator, 25 minutes for SculpSure.
  4. SculpSure is too new to know if the effects remain in place in the years after treatment. Coolsculpting demonstrated that results are maintained for years after treatment.
