Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is SculpSure right for me?

    SculpSure is ideal for those trouble spots and bulges that seem resistant to diet and exercise, such as the belly, love handles, back, inner and outer thighs, and under the chin.



  • How many treatments will I need?

    Every patient is unique. Your provider will evaluate your body during your consultation and develop a customized treatment plan to meet your desired goals. We recommend a minimum of two treatments per area for visible results. Ask your provider about a treatment plan that is right for you.



  • What should I expect during the treatment?

    Most patients feel a tingling and deep heating sensation intermittently throughout the treatment. Once the treatment is complete you may experience mild tenderness or redness, but you will be able to resume your usual activities immediately.



  • When will I see results?

    Patients may start to see results as early as six weeks following treatment as the body gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Optimal results are typically seen at 12 weeks with two treatments.



  • How long will the results last?

    Treated fat cells are destroyed during the treatment and will not regenerate. However, if you gain weight, the remaining fat cells may enlarge.



  • How long before I can resume normal activities?

    There is no downtime with SculpSure, so you can have the treatment during your lunch hour and return to work immediately. In fact, mild exercise is recommended after the treatment to improve lymphatic circulation.



  • What is the difference between fat loss and weight loss?

    The number of fat cells stored in our bodies typically remain constant throughout adult life. As we lose weight, the size of fat cells become smaller but do not decrease in number.



    Even with diet and exercise, many people have difficulty losing weight in these trouble areas. After the SculpSure treatment, targeted fat cells are permanently destroyed and will not return.



  • What areas of the body does SculpSure treat?

    Treatment with SculpSure is delivered via four laser heads that are attached to a configurable contouring frame. The four frames can be positioned in different patterns and on different areas of the body to deliver treatment. This allows SculpSure to be used almost anywhere on the body. Some of the most popular areas for treatment include:


    • Abdomen
    • Flanks
    • Hips
    • Thighs
    • Upper arms
    • Lower back

  • How is SculpSure different from other body contouring procedures like CoolSculpting?

    What makes SculpSure stand out from the others is the mechanism by which it destroys fat. The device uses diode laser technology to kill fat cells beneath the skin.


    During a treatment session, laser energy is rapidly transmitted through the skin and into the fatty layer below. As the fatty layer absorbs the laser energy, fat cells are destroyed.


    Because the laser specifically targets the fatty layer, skin and tissue in the area are not affected during the treatment, making it one of the safest fat reduction treatments available today.


    As an added benefit, side effects are minimal and the recovery is very quick. We will be happy to explain by phone or during your complimentary consultation the advantages of SculpSure.



  • Is SculpSure painful?

    If you’ve ever undergone a non-invasive procedure, you know that non-invasive is not synonymous with non-painful! SculpSure does involve a degree of discomfort due to the heat that is transmitted by the laser.


    Some of our patients experience very little discomfort during treatment, while others find it more uncomfortable. It all depends on how much fat you have in the area, the number of nerve endings, and your individual pain threshold. Many patients report heat, cramping, or pinching sensations during the treatment, but we are present at all times to make adjustments as necessary to ensure your comfort.


    If you are more sensitive, we can aim for a lower temperature during your session.



  • How many sessions are needed?

    Many patients are satisfied with their results after only one session of SculpSure. At WestCoast Lipo, we advise patients to wait 3-4 months after their initial session, to allow fat cells to be washed out of their body and see complete results in the area that was targeted. At that point, if you want an additional fat reduction, we will evaluate the area and explain what an additional session can achieve.



A Non-Invasive Body Contouring Treatment

Bringing the science of light to the art of body contouring, SculpSure is the world’s first light-based, non-surgical body sculpting device to help treat those areas of bothersome fat that diet and exercise just can’t seem to touch. SculpSure allows you to achieve the shape you want with a 25-minute procedure that requires no downtime and no surgery.


Many patients see results as early as six weeks following treatment as the body begins to evacuate the destroyed fat cells, with optimal results usually seen at 12 weeks.


When you put in the hard work to change your diet and exercise habits and finally achieve your target weight, stubborn fat on your belly or love handles sometimes remains. Fortunately, WestCoast Lipo offers the revolutionary FDA Approved SculpSure laser body contouring treatments to permanently remove fat from stubborn areas. Call or schedule a consultation today to find out if SculpSure is right for you.

What You Can Expect

When the treatment starts, initially you will feel a cooling sensation. This helps keep the skin comfortable during treatment. The cooling will be on the entire treatment, while the laser cycles on and off, raising the temperature of the fat cells. Most patients feel a deep warmth and/or tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment which is generally well-tolerated.


SculpSure works by passing 1,060-nm diode laser light through the skin to achieve target temperatures of 42 to 47 degrees Celsius.


With SculpSure’s four separate applicator heads, multiple areas can be treated at once. Or the pattern can be arranged depending on where the patient needs it. There is no downtime. Most patients report feeling a little tender for a week or so.


If you’re tired of battling stubborn body fat and are ready for this life-changing transformation, SculpSure may be the ideal solution for you. This revolutionary treatment uses laser energy to destroy fat below the skin’s surface.


Unlike liposuction, SculpSure requires no incisions or anesthesia and patients can resume normal activities immediately. SculpSure was approved by the FDA in 2015 and has quickly become one of the most requested fat reduction treatments in our office.

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.

Ideal SculpSure 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

Both SculpSure and CoolSculpt are innovative treatments designed to effectively target and reduce stubborn fat cells for a slimmer physique. Neither treatment is specifically better than the other one. Different patients may respond better to either treatment, and they can even be used in conjunction with each other to achieve optimal results.

Why Choose SculpSure

Since its approval in late 2015, SculpSure has rapidly grown in popularity and is now one of the most requested fat-reduction treatments in the country. SculpSure can treat twice the amount of treatment area in half the time of CoolSculpting.


  • Because of this efficiency and improved results, SculpSure is quickly becoming a more popular treatment option for non-surgical fat reduction. Here are some of the reasons why our patients love SculpSure:
    Noticeable fat reduction results in the targeted area in less than 12 weeks
  • Provides a natural appearance with smooth contours and no dimpling
  • Treats twice the surface area in half the time
  • Little to downtime afterward and no unsightly bruising
  • Fast treatment sessions


If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to reduce stubborn bulges of fat, SculpSure may be the perfect solution for you. WestCoast Lipo is proud to be one of the few clinics in San Diego to offer SculpSure, regular liposuction, and SmartLipo™ laser/liposuction.


SculpSure is one of the latest and most advanced nonsurgical 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.
