How many people have had an appendix burst after SculpSure?
Sculpsure
Sep 27, 2017
Sculpsure is associated with discomfort and, ideally, patients should get into the fat destruction zone of discomfort including sensations like pinching, pressure or cramping. Sculpsure hand-pieces can be adjusted individually to provide relief in areas that seem more sensitive. Some patients do also form nodules (lumps) after the procedure which usually resolve with massage and increased fluid intake.

I would like professional unbiased opinion on the SculpSure procedure.
Stubborn fat
Sep 25, 2017
SculpSure is a great option for people with small areas of stubborn fat especially the abdomen and flanks. Each treatment can get rid of up to 24% (average 18%) of fat.

About 9 weeks ago I had a Sculpsure treatment on the flanks but I am concerned as I still cannot see
Fat destruction zone
Sep 23, 2017
Thank you for sharing your question. Sculpsure works very well for the flanks. For best results, it is recommended that your pain level should get into zone 4 which is the fat destruction zone and can feel like pinching, prickling or pressure. It is also suggested that two treatments are used for better results and to wait 12 weeks before assessing results. Hope this information helps you.
