It works best on patients who are overall happy with their size, but have problem areas that don\u2019t go away with diet and exercise. We all have areas where our body likes to store and display even the smallest amount of excess fat. Common problem areas are the abdomen, flanks (love handles), outer thighs, inner thighs, bra roll etc.\u00a0 SculpSure is FDA approved for treatment of the abdomen and flanks, but can be used \u201coff label\u201d for other stubborn areas too.<\/p>\n<p>Four applicators can be used during one 25 minute session and can be placed to target your problem areas. If you need more that 4 applicators to cover you areas of concern a second round can be done immediately after the first set is removed. The applicators are placed flat on the skin so you do not have to pinch the tissue between plates like cryolipolysis (Coolsculpting) requires. This allows us to customize the treatments and eliminates bruising and nerve pain that can be seen with cryolipolysis.<\/p>\n<p>Most patients find the procedure comfortable or only mildly uncomfortable. The laser delivers energy that feels like alternating hot and cold. There is no downtime after the procedure and no pain after the procedure. You may have some mild swelling and tenderness.<\/p>\n<p>Some patients start seeing results in 2 weeks, but it takes 12 weeks for you body to absorb all of the fat that has been targeted. The fat loss is permanent.\u00a0 Once you see your results from the treatment, if you want further fat reduction in that area, it can be retreated a few weeks later.\u00a0 You decide when your results are enough. On average patients see a reduction of the area treated by 24% for each treatment<\/p>\n<p>All skin types can be treated. The treatment is safe for darker skin.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you have stubborn fat that you want to get rid of, don\u2019t have the time for recovery from liposuction, or don\u2019t want to risk the possibility\u00a0 of prolonged nerve pain that can result from cryolipolysis, SculpSure is a great alternative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please join us on <\/strong><strong>Thursday, November 17th, <\/strong><strong>for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>our One-Day <\/strong><strong>SculpSure\u00ae <\/strong><strong>VIP Special Event from\u00a0<\/strong><strong>3:30-6:30pm at\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Plastic Surgery Associates of Valdosta!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Call us today at <\/strong><strong>229.242.3002 <\/strong><strong>to reserve your SculpSure\u00ae consultation appointment on Thursday, November 17th with Dr. Sonya Merriman\u00a0<\/strong><strong>&amp;\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Pam Chaney, R.N.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ~We will be offering VIP special pricing &amp; giveaways as well as sweets, treats &amp; cocktails!~<\/strong><br \/>\nSonya Merriman, M.D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isn\u2019t it time to love your shape?
