Maybe buttoning up your jeans has been a little tricky these days as fat deposits settle in around your waist and ignore your dieting and exercise efforts. Or, perhaps your thighs are starting to chafe just a little bit and you’re not pleased with that development.
Since it’s the holiday season, we want to make the case for putting yourself on your gift list list. More specifically, we propose that you give yourself the gift of fat reduction with our innovative SculpSure® system.
At Los Gatos Dermatology, our team wants you to feel great in the skin you’re in. Under the direction of board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Bruce Saal, we offer a wide range of state-of-the-art cosmetic tools, including our SculpSure technology, which can make quick work of stubborn pockets of fat.
In fact, SculpSure boasts a 90% patient satisfaction rating and this approach to body shaping is becoming increasingly popular — there were nearly 750,000 noninvasive fat reduction procedures performed in the United States in 2023, which represents a nearly 10% jump over 2022.
How you store and lose fat is largely dictated by factors that are far out of your control, such as genetics and gender. So, if your mother carried more fat around her hips in the form of saddlebags, the odds are good that you will, too. Or, if you’re male, you’re more likely to carry fat in your belly, whereas women carry it in their bellies, buttocks, and hips.
What can also work against your ability to reduce certain pockets of fat is that there’s really no such thing as spot reduction. For example, if you’re looking to get rid of belly fat through abdominal exercises, this approach will only be marginally successful.
The ab exercises are great and will fire up your fat-burning system, but this system chooses where it sheds to fat. So, those ab exercises might reduce fat elsewhere in your body as your body holds on to the abdominal fat. The bottom line is that spot reduction of fat through targeted exercise really isn’t possible.
With SculpSure, we circumvent gender, genetics, and biology by targeting the fat directly. You choose your treatment areas and we direct a heating energy into them that destroys the fat cells.
Unlike other fat reduction approaches, such as liposuction, SculpSure is noninvasive and there's no downtime afterward. When you come in, we make you comfortable and position the SculpSure devices over your treatment areas. From there, you just lie back as the energy travels harmlessly through skin to target the fat cells below.
In most cases, treatments are just 25 minutes each and we typically recommend a series of SculpSure sessions for best results. Speaking of results, they will be gradual as your body flushes out the destroyed fat cells over the next few months.
Since SculpSure is noninvasive, we can use this fat reduction technology on most areas of your body, including your:
SculpSure is even FDA-cleared to treat fat under your chin.
So, if you’d like to give yourself the gift of body contouring with SculpSure this year, simply contact our office in Los Gatos, California, today to set up your fat reduction appointments today.
