What is
SculpSure®

“Sculpsure® helped me lose my stubborn fat in my stomach and back without surgery!”

SculpSure® is a breakthrough technology that reduces fat without surgery. Treated areas help reduce stubborn fat in problem areas such as the abdomen, love-handles, back and thighs.

Even with diet and exercise, most people have areas of stubborn fat that appear impossible to lose. SculpSure® body contouring treatments are designed to specifically target and effectively reduce fat cells safely in just 25 minutes, while preserving the skin’s surface integrity. There is no recovery time following treatment, enabling patients to resume daily activities immediately.

Each 25 minute treatment can destroy up to 24% of treated fat cells without surgery* or downtime.

How Does
SculpSure® treatment Work?

Each session can be completed in less than 25 minutes, making this an ideal “Lunch Break” procedure!

Advanced Body Contouring Technology

The 1060 nm wavelength’s specific affinity for adipose tissue, along with minimal absorption in the dermis, enables SculpSure® to efficiently target areas of stubborn fat in just 25 minutes. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the disrupted fat cells, with results potentially visible as early as 6 to 8 weeks, with final results generally noticeable within 12 weeks.

Controlled Hyperthermic Fat Reduction

  • Elevates adipose tissue temperature between 42°C and 47°C
  • No damage to dermal tissue
  • Incorporates Contact Cooling™ for enhanced patient comfort

Frequently Asked Questions
Sculpsure®

K

What is the difference between Sculpsure® and Coolsculpting®?

At Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa we offer and prefer SculpSure® as opposed to CoolSculpting® due to its demonstrably superior results and fewer side effects. Furthermore, CoolSculpting® carries a risk of developing paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, a condition where the treated fat may potentially return up to 1-2% thicker than it was prior to the treatment.

How many Sculpsure® treatments will I need?

The number of SculpSure® treatments required to achieve visible results can differ based on individual patient factors. Typically, it is recommended that patients undergo a minimum of two SculpSure® sessions. These sessions should ideally be scheduled approximately 6 weeks apart. This interval allows for the body to naturally process and eliminate the disrupted fat cells from the initial treatment, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of subsequent sessions. It is important to note that the final number of treatments may depend on the patient's specific goals, the area being treated, and their body's unique response to the treatment. A personalized treatment plan will be developed during the initial consultation to ensure optimal results.

Does Sculpsure hurt?

What is the downtime for Sculpsure®?

When will I see my results after Sculpsure?

Results from your SculpSure® treatments are usually seen within 6 to 12 weeks following your treatment, with most patients seeing their final results by the 12-week mark. It's important to note that individual results may vary depending on the number of treatments.
