Even with a healthy lifestyle, some areas of fat can be difficult to change. The abdomen, flanks, and thighs often hold on to stubborn fat despite good habits, not because of lack of effort but because of how our bodies are built. Fat cells are designed to store energy and are sometimes the last to respond to diet and exercise.
SculpSure is a modern, non-surgical solution that helps your body restore balance. It is the first Health Canada–approved laser treatment for non-surgical fat reduction. Using precise light and heat, SculpSure permanently destroys fat cells and enhances your body’s natural contours without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time.
How SculpSure Works
SculpSure uses a 1060 nm wavelength laser to heat fat cells beneath the skin while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. Once the fat cells reach a specific temperature, their membranes break down, and the body gradually eliminates them through its natural metabolic process.
During the session, you will feel alternating waves of warmth and cooling that keep the skin comfortable. Most patients describe it as a gentle and tolerable sensation.
What makes SculpSure unique is that it does not simply shrink fat cells. It eliminates them permanently. Once these cells are destroyed and removed by the body, they do not return. Over time, the treated area becomes smoother, firmer, and more refined.
What to Expect
A SculpSure session lasts about 25 minutes per area, making it an easy treatment to fit into your schedule.
What to expect during and after treatment:
- How it feels: Gentle warmth and cooling throughout the session.
- Sessions required: Usually 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on your goals.
- Results: Gradual and natural improvements, visible around 6 weeks, with optimal results at 12 weeks.
- Effectiveness: Fat thickness reduced by an average of 21 to 24 percent in the treated area.
- Common areas: Abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs, and under the chin.
Since destroyed fat cells are permanently removed, results last over time when supported by a healthy lifestyle.
SculpSure vs. CoolSculpting
Both treatments permanently remove fat cells without surgery, but they use different forms of energy to achieve it.
- SculpSure (Laser Lipolysis): Uses controlled heat to melt and destroy fat cells. Treatments last about 25 minutes per area and feel warm but comfortable. Results appear gradually over 6 to 12 weeks, with an average fat reduction of 21 to 24 percent.
- CoolSculpting (Cryolipolysis): Uses controlled cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. Each session lasts about 35 to 60 minutes per area and feels cold at first, then numb. Results develop over 8 to 12 weeks, with an average fat reduction of 20 to 25 percent.
Each method offers proven, lasting results, but not every clinic provides both technologies. The right approach depends on your body, your goals, and how your skin responds to treatment.
Booking a consultation at your nearest Dermapure clinic is the best way to determine which option is most suited to your needs and to design a personalized plan for natural, lasting fat reduction.
