Sculpt®

Sculpt uses Precision-GigaWave technology and is FDA-cleared for the reduction of cellulite. This wavelength is known to reach 55 to 60° Celsius in the subcutaneous layer (underneath the skin). This is the target zone for the fat and fibrous bands that create cellulite. This wavelength is known to target cellulite in a multimodal fashion:

• It dissolves the fibrous type 1 collagen bands that tether the skin to underlying tissues and create dimples
• It destroys surrounding fat cells that exaggerate the dimpling
• It tightens overlying skin to reduce the appearance of dimpling

CoolSculpting freezes fat cells in a process called cryolipolysis. Patients find the Sculpt treatments significantly more comfortable and more affordable. Additionally, there are fewer potential complications with Sculpt.

Sculpt uses Precision-GigaWave technology, which is 2.45GHz. This wavelength is part of the larger RF spectrum. 2.45 GHz is 80% more targeted to fat than RF technologies. With other devices that utilize radiofrequency waves, most of the energy is absorbed by the skin in an attempt to reach the fat below. Due to patient discomfort, such technologies are not able to reach high enough temperatures to make a significant difference in the fat.

Sculpt is well-tolerated and not painful as compared to other body contouring treatments. Patients often describe the treatment as feeling like a hot stone massage.

Sculpt is typically well-tolerated, and our team goes through rigorous trainings to ensure the safe use of these devices. Sculpt has minimal risks as compared to other body contouring technologies. There is no risk for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), like Coolsculpting, and much less risk for burning compared to other RF technologies.

The treatment quadrants for Sculpt are about 6in X 6in. You may treat up to 6 quadrants (treatment areas) at one appointment. We recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of quadrants treated. For more difficult cases it may take more. Some patients see a difference after only one treatment. Responses and results may vary.

Similar to other body contouring treatments, the time is dependent upon how many areas are treated. Each quadrant takes about 15 to 17 minutes to complete. For 6 quadrants, it may take 1.5 hours. Many providers opt to divide treatments if they are treating 6 quadrants.

There is no downtime with Sculpt™. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and jacuzzis for 24 hours, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. If treating 1 to 4 quadrants, patients should follow up in 4 to 6 weeks. If treating 5 or 6 quadrants, treatments should be spaced to every 6 to 8 weeks.

Although not required, we recommend professional lymphatic massage twice weekly for two weeks following treatment for faster visible results. For many patients, time and finances may not allow for this, and can instead perform self-massage daily for 5 to 10 minutes for the first 2 weeks. Patients should drink about 2 liters of water daily and maintain a moderate diet and exercise routine.
