SculpSure is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive fat reduction body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, and under the chin. Unlike surgical liposuction, SculpSure uses laser technology to destroy fat cells without downtime or incisions.
How Does SculpSure Work?
SculpSure uses laser energy to heat fat cells beneath the skin. The heat damages the structure of the fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates over the course of several weeks. Each treatment takes about 25 minutes per area, and up to 24% of treated fat cells can be permanently destroyed in a single session.
Quick facts:
Treatment time: 25 minutes per area
No anesthesia or incisions
Little to no downtime
Results visible in 6–12 weeks
What Areas Can Be Treated with SculpSure?
SculpSure is FDA-cleared for use on:
Abdomen
Flanks (love handles)
Back
Inner and outer thighs
Under the chin (submental area)
Upper arms (off-label use, consult your provider)
Who is a Good Candidate for SculpSure?

Best for:
Healthy adults with a BMI under 30
Individuals with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise
Those seeking a non-surgical fat reduction solution
Not ideal for:
People looking for overall weight loss

What Does SculpSure Feel Like?
During treatment, you’ll feel a warming sensation alternating with bursts of cooling. Most patients describe it as tolerable, with minimal discomfort. You can return to your daily routine immediately after treatment.
When Will I See Results?
Results typically appear between 6 to 12 weeks post-treatment as your body flushes out the destroyed fat cells. Some patients may require multiple sessions for optimal results, depending on their goals.
