Everything You Need to Know About SculpSure for Stubborn Fat

October 03, 20253 min read

No matter how much we exercise or watch our diet, some areas of fat just won’t budge. These stubborn fat deposits are often found in the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, or under the chin. If you’re looking for a non-invasive solution to tackle these problem areas, SculpSure may be the answer.

This blog will walk you through everything you need to know about SculpSure, including how it works, what results to expect, and why it’s one of the most popular treatments for body contouring without surgery.


What is SculpSure?

SculpSure is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical laser treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat in targeted areas. Using 1060 nm diode laser technology, it safely destroys fat cells without harming the skin or surrounding tissues.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Abdomen

  • Love handles (flanks)

  • Thighs

  • Back

  • Under the chin (double chin)

  • Arms


How Does SculpSure Work?

SculpSure works by using controlled laser energy to heat fat cells beneath the skin:

  1. Laser Penetration – The 1060 nm laser penetrates beneath the skin’s surface, specifically targeting fat cells.

  2. Heating Fat Cells – The fat cells are heated to 42–47°C, damaging their structure.

  3. Cell Death (Apoptosis) – The damaged fat cells undergo natural cell death.

  4. Natural Elimination – Over the next 6–12 weeks, the body’s lymphatic system eliminates these dead fat cells.

  5. Permanent Reduction – Once destroyed, fat cells are gone for good.

Why Choose SculpSure for Stubborn Fat?

Unlike diet and exercise, which only shrink fat cells, SculpSure eliminates them permanently.

Benefits of SculpSure include:

  • Non-invasive – No surgery, no anesthesia

  • Quick treatment – Each session lasts about 25 minutes

  • No downtime – Resume normal activities immediately

  • Multiple areas treated at once

  • Permanent results – Once fat cells are gone, they don’t return


SculpSure Results: Before and After

  • Results can be seen as early as 6 weeks post-treatment

  • Full results appear at around 12 weeks

  • Clinical studies show an average of 24% fat reduction in treated areas


Is SculpSure Safe?

Yes. SculpSure is FDA-cleared, clinically tested, and considered safe for most patients. The treatment may cause mild warmth, redness, or tenderness, but side effects are temporary.


Who is an Ideal Candidate?

SculpSure works best for people who:

  • Have a BMI under 30

  • Struggle with localized fat deposits

  • Want a non-surgical fat reduction option

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle but need help with specific areas


SculpSure vs. CoolSculpting

Both treatments permanently destroy fat cells, but the science differs:

  • SculpSure: Uses heat (laser energy) to damage fat cells.

  • CoolSculpting: Uses cold (cryolipolysis) to freeze fat cells.

Many patients prefer SculpSure for its faster sessions (25 minutes) and ability to treat multiple areas simultaneously.


Cost of SculpSure for Stubborn Fat

The cost of SculpSure depends on the area treated, the number of sessions, and your clinic location. On average:

  • Per session: $1,200 – $1,800

  • Package pricing: Clinics often offer discounts for multiple treatments.
