Melt Away Unwanted Fat

SculpSure is a cutting-edge, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that contours your body by removing unwanted fat without the need for surgery or downtime. This FDA-approved procedure effectively targets stubborn fat cells in specific areas, resulting in a smoother and more sculpted appearance.

What Is SculpSure?

SculpSure is a cutting-edge, non-invasive fat reduction treatment designed to contour the body by eliminating unwanted fat without the need for surgery or downtime. This FDA-approved procedure uses advanced laser technology to target and destroy stubborn fat cells in specific areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and chin.

How It Works

SculpSure employs a process called selective photothermolysis, which involves laser energy to heat specific tissues while sparing the surrounding structures. The 1060 nm wavelength of the laser is selectively absorbed by fat cells, causing them to heat up and eventually break down. During a SculpSure treatment, the laser delivers controlled hyperthermia (heat) to the targeted fat cells.

This heat disrupts the structure of the fat cells, leading to a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death. The temperature in the treated area is carefully monitored and maintained between 42°C and 47°C to ensure effective fat cell destruction without damaging the surrounding tissues.

As the fat cells undergo apoptosis, they are gradually broken down and removed by the body’s natural metabolic processes. The immune system’s macrophages (a type of white blood cell) engulf and digest the dead fat cells, which are then transported to the lymphatic system and excreted from the body over the following weeks and months.

Is SculpSure Right for Me?

SculpSure might be the ideal solution for you if the following is true:

You have specific areas with noticeable bulges that you’d like to minimize.
You are at or near your ideal weight but have stubborn fat pockets that won't go away.
You prefer a non-surgical option that requires minimal downtime.

It’s important to note that SculpSure is not a weight-loss solution. Ideal candidates seek to reduce localized fat deposits rather than overall body weight.

During your consultation with an APDerm clinician, we will assess your areas of concern, discuss your goals, determine if SculpSure is the right treatment for you, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What to Expect From a SculpSure Treatment

Upon arrival for your SculpSure treatment, your clinician will mark the targeted treatment areas. Depending on your goals and the clinician’s recommendations, multiple areas can be treated in one session.

A cooling gel or pad may be applied to protect your skin and enhance comfort during the procedure.

The SculpSure applicators will be positioned on your body, and controlled laser energy will be delivered to heat the fat cells beneath the skin. A cooling mechanism will ensure that the surface remains comfortable. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation as the laser cycles on and off, but most patients find it easily tolerable. Each SculpSure session typically lasts about 25 minutes, making it a quick and convenient procedure.

SculpSure Aftercare

After the procedure, you can immediately return to your normal activities with no downtime required. Some patients might experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas, but these usually resolve within a few days.

Initial results may be seen as early as six weeks after the treatment, with the most noticeable improvements appearing around 12 weeks. The body will continue to remove the destroyed fat cells for up to six months, leading to a gradual and natural-looking reduction in fat.
