The body then builds collagen, causing your skin tissue to thicken and fill in facial depressions. Sculptra™ treatment results can last for 2-4 years. *Individual results may vary.

SculpSure for Men
Just like women, many men follow a healthy diet and spend considerable amount of time at the gym to look and feel their best.
Often times, these guys may be at or near an ideal weight, but just can’t get rid of their love handles or a pocket of fat on their abdomen.
Fortunately, SculpSure is a non-invasive treatment that can target and reduce fat bulges throughout the body.
Most male patients have several trouble spots that can safely and effectively be reduced with zero downtime.
What Is SculpSure?
SculpSure is an FDA-approved device for the destruction of fat on the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and flanks.
It does not require incisions, sutures, or anesthesia and can be performed over a lunch break in a 25-minute session.
How Does SculpSure Work?
SculpSure applies heat to melt subcutaneous fat cells, which are naturally eliminated from the body over a period of 12 weeks.
Men are advised to shave the treatment area to allow a clear pathway for energy to be absorbed and avoid burns to the hair or skin.
What Areas to Men Most Commonly Treat?
Many men have diet and exercise resistant fat around their abdomen, love handles, and chest, which makes them excellent candidates for SculpSure.
As fat can accumulate around the waist with age, male patients are often eager to reduce the size of their abdomen with this body-contouring treatment.
Additionally, the love handles are another trouble spot for guys. One or two SculpSure sessions spaced four-to-six weeks apart can help them avoid the discomfort of a muffin top or spare tire.
Lastly, excess fat in the chest can cause self-consciousness, especially in bathing suits and certain clothes. While treatment of this area is considered off-label, it can be extremely effective in certain cases.
SculpSure Results
Clinical trials demonstrated up to 24 percent fat reduction after a SculpSure treatment, and results can be fully noted after 12 weeks. For optimal effects, some individuals may require one-to-two sessions.
