Question: Are there any new technologies for fat reduction?

Answer: It is interesting to watch technology as it continues to evolve. Many of my patients are up to date with what is trending in aesthetic technology. There is a new exciting technology that melts and tightens skin simultaneous without downtime. Coolsculpting has been a good fat reduction treatment for many of my patients. It is a way to noninvasively destroy fat cells by freezing fat. However it takes about one hour per area and, depending on the patient, could take up to four or six hours in a day! Also, the cost of Coolsculpting is pretty much equivalent to liposuction.

A newer technology has just been FDA-approved for the same application of destroying fat cells non-invasively, but it uses heat. Its called SculpSure by Cynosure. SculpSure is a laser device that uses the same wavelength as Smart Lipo.

It targets fat cells and destroys them without any incisions. Unlike Coolsculpting, Sculpsure takes less time, the treatment areas are much larger and there is no downtime. One treatment takes only 25 minutes and there have been no reported side effects.

The treatments applicators are placed on the skin and a balance of laser wavelength with cold is projected to the fat layer, making it hot enough to achieve the right temperatures to destroy fat cells, but cold enough to be comfortable. The destroyed cells are disposed of by the bodys lymphatic system.

The results are seen in six to eight weeks and most people require just one treatment. Another game-changing advantage: The laser tightens skin. So in summary, Sculpsure is less expensive, takes less time and tightens skin very effectively.
