SculpSure Edmonton

Q: What are the disadvantages of SculpSure?

SculpSure has a few potential drawbacks to consider: Results Take Time: You may need to wait up to 3-6 months to see the full results of your treatment. Multiple Sessions Required: Many people need 1-2 treatments sessions or more, spaced about two months apart, to achieve their desired outcome. Candidate Limitations: It’s most effective for individuals who are within 30 pounds of their ideal weight or have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. Surgical Comparison: Results from SculpSure are generally less dramatic than those achieved with surgical fat reduction methods, such as liposuction. While SculpSure is effective, it doesn't match the immediate and significant fat reduction provided by surgical procedures. Minor Discomfort: During treatment, you might experience a slight warming sensation, along with some pinching or tingling, though no numbing agent is required. Post-Treatment Sensitivity: After the fat reduction procedure, you could experience soreness, stiffness, or bruising in the treated areas. Massaging the area as advised by your practitioner can help with tissue firmness and overall comfort.

SculpSure is a non-invasive laser body contouring treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. The technology uses a 1060 nm wavelength laser that gradually heats targeted adipose tissue while the surface of the skin is kept comfortable with built-in Contact Cooling, supporting the elimination of treated fat cells through the body’s natural processes.

Book an Appointment

SculpSure can address stubborn pockets of fat that persist despite a balanced diet and regular exercise, on areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs and the submental area (under the chin). The treatment may be received on its own, or planned alongside complementary in-clinic options such as muscle-toning technologies, other non-surgical body contouring approaches or skin tightening protocols, depending on individual goals and body composition.

Because every patient’s body, goals and medical history are different, SculpSure at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether SculpSure is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personal Assessment

Before your laser treatment, you'll have a thorough consultation with our expert team. We'll talk about your goals and assess which areas you want to target. Based on this discussion, we'll develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve the best results. This personalized approach ensures that the non-surgical fat reduction treatment meets your specific needs and allows us to design a customized treatment plan that's perfectly suited to you.

Step 2

Baseline Photography

We’ll take photos of the treatment area for your patient file so that we can track your progress over time.

Step 3

Review and Consent

Our team will review your consent forms with you and answer any questions you may have.

Step 4

Treatment

Your expert technician will use laser energy throughout the entire treatment area, partnering it with Contact Cooling for your comfort. Depending on the treatment area, your appointment can take as little as 25 minutes! With no associated downtime, you can easily fit it into your lunch break and get back to your routine immediately.

Step 5

After Treatment

You may begin to notice initial results as early as 6 weeks after your SculpSure treatment. However, for the most significant and optimal results, it's important to wait until 12 weeks post-treatment. This timeline allows your body ample time to naturally eliminate the targeted fat cells and fully reveal the improvements in contour and shape.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

During your personal assessment, your expert will determine how many treatment sessions you may need to achieve the desired results and will discuss the spacing of appointments. If additional treatments are necessary, they will be recommended based on your progress.

Contraindications

We don’t offer SculpSure treatment to those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, nor to individuals with an abdominal hernia.
