Regardless of overall health and body makeup, many people struggle with body fat. Stubborn body fat is particularly common around the belly for people of a variety of body types. Exercise and diet are necessary components of a healthy lifestyle and weight loss, but unfortunately, diet and exercise cannot target specific areas for fat reduction. SculpSure fat removal is a non-invasive treatment that can target and reduce fat. It is a great solution for those looking to target a specific stubborn area for fat reduction or elimination.
What to Expect in a SculpSure Treatment
SculpSure is a noninvasive treatment that can target areas of fat for elimination. Rather than incisions or anesthesia, it uses lasers and can target multiple treatment areas at once. It has been approved by the FDA as a belly fat removal treatment and works best on patients with a BMI of less than 30 who are in reasonably good health.
Here is what you can expect from a SculpSure treatment:
1. During your treatment, you will be seated in a reclined position. Your health care clinician will mark the treatment areas on your body.
2. The SculpSure device is wrapped around you like a belt.
3. The device emits lasers that reach temperatures hot enough to kill fat cells under the skin but leave other tissues unharmed and intact. The device alternates between the heated laser and a cooling effect to ensure patient comfort. You might experience a minor pinching or tingling sensation.
The entire treatment lasts about a half hour, and patients can read, watch television or even nap during the process. Because it is a noninvasive procedure, there is no recovery time, making it possible to have a SculpSure procedure done during your lunch hour. In the weeks after you have the SculpSure procedure, your lymphatic system flushes out the dead fat cells naturally. If you need additional treatments to reach your goals and desired results, these can be done six weeks or more after the first treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate for SculpSure?
SculpSure is a great option for those looking to reduce belly fat, but it is not a substitute for weight loss. After the procedure, it is important to keep up a healthy diet and exercise routine to maintain fat reduction. SculpSure is not a good option for those with obesity.
The cost of SculpSure varies depending on the treatment area. The treatment can be used on the upper abdominal area, lower abdominal area, and flanks. The larger the targeted treatment area, the greater the cost. Because SculpSure is a cosmetic treatment, it is generally not covered by health insurance. Many offices offering the SculpSure treatment offer payment plans and incentives to help make payment more manageable.
If you are in relatively good health and suffer from stubborn body fat, talk to your doctor about SculpSure treatment. Because diet and exercise cannot target specific areas for fat loss, SculpSure is a great option for targeted fat elimination and reduction.
