ScuplSure Body Contouring Specialist
Body contouring with SculpSure® or Ultherapy® removes stubborn pockets of fat and cellulite without surgery. The Skin and Laser Center team uses these non-invasive techniques to help men and women in Victorville and Redlands, CA, look and feel slimmer, sleeker, and more toned.
What is body contouring?
Body contouring treatments help remove stubborn deposits of fat and cellulite that don’t respond to exercise or diet alone. Treatments are intended to help patients achieve a tighter, more toned, less flabby appearance, with most treatments focused on problem areas like the belly and flanks. Body contouring is very popular among patients who have lost a considerable amount of weight and want to refine their results, as well as anyone who wants to look slimmer and sleeker.
What non-surgical techniques are available?
SculpSure is a non-invasive treatment developed to “break up” fat deposits in the belly and flanks. Cleared by the FDA, SculpSure uses a technique called laser lipolysis (sometimes called laser liposuction) to break down the walls of fat cells so that they can be eliminated naturally by the body. The SculpSure system allows the targeted delivery of fat-destroying energy for exact results.
Or if you specifically want to target your face, brow line, neck, chin, or chest, Ultherapy’s modern non-invasive system can help. Ultherapy stimulates collagen production with ultrasound energy, which allows your skin to lift and tighten naturally.
These body contouring techniques eliminate the need for invasive surgery. You can avoid the risks, discomfort, and prolonged recovery time associated with surgical procedures like SculpSure and Ultherapy.
What happens during treatment?
All body contouring treatment methods use a particular handheld device that emits precise levels of laser energy directly to the layers of tissue where stubborn fat is found -- or where collagen improvement is needed. The handpiece is passed over the problem area during treatment, achieving consistent results. All systems are designed to keep the skin cool and comfortable throughout treatment. You can have multiple areas treated during a single session. Most sessions can be completed during your lunch hour since you don’t have to go under anesthesia or sedation.
When will I see the results?
Results of SculpSure and Ultherapy treatments typically become visible in about six weeks after treatment, with maximum results becoming visible at about three months.
Can body contouring help me lose weight?
Body contouring is not intended for weight loss and is not a substitute for diet and exercise or more aggressive fat removal procedures, like liposuction. While SculpSure or Ultherapy may result in a very small amount of weight loss, the procedure is intended to refine areas of the body where stubborn deposits obscure curves. This improves the appearance of lean muscle, so patients look more toned and fit.
