Sculpsure
If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to reduce stubborn bulges of fat, SculpSureTM may be the perfect solution for you. Dr. Paul J. Frank is one of the few physicians in New York City to offer this one of a kind technology. SculpSure is one of the latest and most advanced fat reduction treatments, using laser technology to treat fat cells in the targeted area by exposing them to very high temperatures. Once the fat cells are treated, the body gradually disposes of them, providing noticeable results in just 6 to 12 weeks following treatment.*
How SculpSure Works
SculpSure has four applicators, allowing Dr. Paul J. Frank to treat up to four zones at a time. Once the laser is turned on, it will actively heat the underlying fat for 25 minutes. The temperatures used are high enough to target fat cells, but not so hot that they cause pain or damage skin in the treatment area. Most of our New York patients do not report pain during SculpSure treatments.* If you experience any discomfort, we will adjust the applicators until you are comfortable.
Once the treatment is done, you can resume normal activities immediately. The side effect associated with SculpSure is mild tenderness for a day in the treated area.* While you won’t notice any immediate change, your body will be busy working to decrease fat cells. You’ll begin to notice fat reduction in the treatment area within 6 weeks and final results should be seen within 12 weeks*. In addition to fat reduction, the heating process of SculpSure stimulates an increase in collagen production in the skin, increasing lift and firmness in the treated area.*
SculpSure Treatment Areas
SculpSure was designed to reduce fat around the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), and lower back. It can also be used for fat reduction on the buttocks, thighs, and upper arms. SculpSure is gaining popularity among women who want to treat post-pregnancy bulges on their abdomen and return to their more youthful shape.
Sculpsure Before & After
Ideal Candidates
You may be an ideal candidate for SculpSure if you are close to your ideal weight and cannot reduce unwanted body fat through diet changes or exercise alone. SculpSure is not a weight loss solution nor should it be used to replace a healthy diet. In addition, patients who have open sores, infections, or scars in the targeted area may not be able to undergo this treatment.
SculpSure vs. CoolSculpting
Dr. Paul J. Frank also offers CoolSculpting, a treatment closely related to SculpSure, to his NYC patients. Both innovative treatments are designed to effectively target and reduce stubborn fat cells for a slimmer physique. Either treatment is not necessarily better than the other. Different patients may respond better to either device, and they can be used in conjunction with each other to achieve optimal results. The table below highlights the main differences between these two highly effective treatments.
SCUPSURE | COOLSCULPTING | |
Total Treatment time | 25 minutes | 35 minutes |
Temperature for fat cell destruction | Very high | Very cold to freeze fat cells |
Required treatment area | The device is held to the surface of skin and can treat almost any part of the body | The skin within the treatment area must be lax enough to be held between two panels |
Discomfort during treatment | Mild to moderate | Some patients find the cold sensation mildy uncomfortable only initially |
Results | 6 - 12 weeks | 6 - 10 weeks |
Collagen production | Increased collagen production | change in collagen production for select patients |
