To start a SculpSure™ treatment, the device is clipped into place on the areas to be treated, and the laser begins to disrupt the subcutaneous fat cells, heating them and prompting the body to dispose of them. Each treated area takes only 25 minutes per treatment. There is no anesthesia needed as there are no incisions, injections or pain involved with the procedure. Most patients feel a tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment, which is generally well tolerated. While the laser does heat the subcutaneous fat, the device counteracts this by using Contact Cooling™ technology to prevent damage to the skin and keep the patient comfortable. Patients do experience the warming of the laser, but typically find that the cooling of the skin is enough to keep the treatment from becoming uncomfortable.
