What is body sculpting?
Body sculpting is a nonsurgical in-office treatment to reduce unwanted fat. At Northern Virginia Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, the team chose the SculpSure® system from Cynosure because it offers impressive and reliable fat reduction without pain, injections, or downtime.
Body sculpting treats fat in the areas where it’s most stubborn, including:
- Belly
- Love handles (extra fat around the hips)
- Back
- Inner and outer thighs
- Submental area (double chin)
SculpSure body sculpting is the ideal solution for the pockets of fat that don’t go away despite your best efforts. Body sculpting effectively targets the unwanted fat cells and permanently destroys them for lasting results.
How does body sculpting work?
For SculpSure treatments, you’ll relax in a comfortable position. The team attaches a group of four applicators to your body, directly above your trouble spots. Then, the SculpSure system gradually raises the temperature of your body fat.
You might feel some deep heat, but it’s not painful. There’s no mechanical suction involved, so no worries about bruises, either. Heating your unwanted fat this way triggers fat cell disruption and destruction. The treated fat cells liquefy, and then you’ll flush the fat out over the coming weeks.
After your 25-minute treatment session, you can immediately resume your normal activities without restrictions.
Am I a candidate for body sculpting?
If you have unwanted fat and want to sculpt your body without surgery, SculpSure treatments can help. SculpSure is FDA-cleared for use in men and women with a body mass index (BMI) of 49 or lower.
When will I see results from body sculpting?
You can see the results of SculpSure treatments within six weeks, with optimal results within 12 weeks. In clinical studies, 100% of patients were happy with their SculpSure results.
How many body sculpting treatments do I need?
The number of treatments needed depends on the results you desire. Every SculpSure treatment reduces an average of 24% of your unwanted fat.
After you see your initial treatment results, you can decide whether you’d like further sculpting at that time. Most patients get ideal results with a short series of SculpSure treatments.
