SculpSure Fat Reduction Specialist in Austin TX

SculpSure, the first FDA-approved laser specifically designed for fat reduction, has recently surged in popularity due to its ability to achieve astonishing results for a variety of body types and lifestyles. While there is a great amount of demand for this life-changing technology, it is not necessarily for everyone. The most important thing to realize with procedures like SculpSure is that laser fat recontouring is not a magic weight loss cure—it is intended for people who have localized areas of fat that they have not been able to get rid of with diet and exercise, despite their best efforts. The ideal candidate for laser reduction therapy is:

• Has stubborn fat deposits on the:
• abdomen
• inner or outer thigh
• buttocks
• upper arms
• under the chin, contributing to a “jowly” appearance
• Has subcutaneous fat (fat directly under the skin), versus visceral fat (deeper inside the body, often gathered around the vital organs)
• Is close to their ideal weight
• Has a BMI of 30 or less

While this treatment is suitable in many situations, it is not recommended for everyone, including people with:

• Significant deposits of visceral fat
• Significant skin scarring or unhealed wounds in the desired treatment area

The benefits of SculpSure include:

• Superior safety
• Fast and easy
• Permanent results
• Benefits all areas
• No downtime

SculpSure uses laser technology, specifically a hands-free heat laser belt that uses fixed wavelengths and heat to eliminate fat cells. In 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared SculpSure for its use in noninvasive lipolysis in the following areas: upper abdominal area; lower abdominal area; and flanks. This type of technology provides several benefits over other similar, non-invasive alternatives, as the heat it emits also tightens the skin, further combating a loose, saggy appearance. This is highly advantageous in many situations, which is why a good number of people, especially those with looser skin, opt for laser fat reduction treatments like SculpSure.

Laser lipo is actually a bit of a misnomer, as it does not involve any liposuction or suction of any kind at all. It gets this moniker from its incredibly popular predecessor, liposuction, as well as from its modern use of laser technology to achieve results. Laser lipo uses lasers to heat up fat cells, damaging their structural integrity and inducing apoptosis, or cell death. Once these fat cells die, they never return, unless permitted to by an unhealthy lifestyle. SculpSure is a type of laser fat removal procedure and is therefore considered a type of laser lipo.

The SculpSure device, which works by heating up fat cells until they are ready to be eliminated from the body, targets fat cells in the body or face to achieve a more slender, contoured appearance. SculpSure technology effectively decreases fat in the:

• Flanks
• Chin area
• Upper arms
• Upper and lower back
• Stomach
• Thighs

The process is as follows:

• Laser energy targets fat deposits under the surface of the skin
• The heat damages the structure of the fat cells, killing them
• The body gets rid of the damaged cells over time
• The fat cells are gone, and they cannot regrow
