Why choose Sculpsure over CoolSculpting?
SculpSure represents the latest technology in non-invasive body contouring. Cleared by the FDA in 2016, SculpSure has rivaled CoolSculpting in the non-surgical fat reduction industry in several ways:
CoolSculpting Cost vs. SculpSure Cost: SculpSure provides similar results as CoolSculpting, but at a more affordable price per treatment.
Treatment Areas: SculpSure can treat up to four different treatment areas at one time. In contrast, CoolSculpting can treat only one treat one area at a time. This make comprehensive body contouring with CoolSculpting a far more extensive, expensive and time demanding process compared to achieving a total body transformation with SculpSure.
Treatment Times: In addition to treating more areas at one time, SculpSure’s advanced technology provides shorter treatment times compared to CoolSculpting. With fast, 25-minute treatments, it is no wonder SculpSure is nicknamed the “lunch time lipo.”
CoolSculpting Side Effects vs. SculpSure Side Effects: SculpSure’s flat applicators do not require suction, unlike CoolSculpting, which uses a vacuum mechanism to attach the applicator to the treatment area. Bypassing this suction also eliminates many of the side effects associated with CoolSculpting, such as tenderness, redness, bruising, and swelling at the treatment site.
CoolSculpting Pain vs. SculpSure Pain: Flat applicators also make SculpSure a painless treatment. This stands in sharp contrast to CoolSculpting that can be painful for many patients who complain about the suction and sensation of extreme cold at the treatment site during the fat freezing procedure.
Downtime and Recovery: CoolSculpting is a more invasive technique for eliminating stubborn fat cells, and therefore requires a longer recovery compared to SculpSure. CoolSculpting side effects can persist for up to 2 weeks following the fat freezing treatment. In comparison, SculpSure requires no downtime or recovery and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after their laser fat reduction treatment.
