Does the procedure hurt?
As the treatment begins, patients have a cooling treatment to help the skin tolerate the heat that follows. You may feel tingling and heat as the wand passes over the treatment areas, though most people tolerate the procedure well. It's completely safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The special frequency of the laser won't affect the top layers of skin.
How long does it take?
Each SculpSure session lasts about 25 minutes, and patients can go about their other activities immediately afterward. Expect to see the best results in about 3 months, at which time you can have additional treatments if needed. You may notice a change 6 weeks after the treatment as your body starts to shed the destroyed fat cells.
