QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How does SculpSure work?
SculpSure uses advanced laser technology to emit light energy that passes through the skin to target the fat cells below. It’s not designed for overall weight loss, and it doesn’t liquefy fat as other laser methods do.
Rather, the laser energy focuses on fat cells and damages them to the point that they eventually die. Your body then expels the residual cell matter naturally within a few weeks. It’s an FDA-approved treatment method that the qualified aestheticians at Pure Lux use to reshape your body by removing pockets of fat that are resistant to exercise and diet.
What is the difference between SculpSure & Cool Sculpting?
Treatment Time
SculpSure : 25 minutes per area
Cool Sculpting : 35-60 minutes per area
Patient Selection
SculpSure : Treatments are customized for a variety of shapes and sizes
Cool Sculpting : Treatments are limited by how much fat can be suctioned into the applicator.
Comfort
SculpSure : Contact cooling technology keeps the skin comfortable during the treatment. SculpSure is a well tolerated treatment.
Cool Sculpting : Suction based applicators freeze and numb the treatment area. Post treatment massage is required which can be uncomfortable.
Safety Profile
SculpSure : Side effects are mild and temporary in nature, with the most common being tenderness
Cool Sculpting : Common side effects are numbness, bruising and itching. More adverse events reported include a delayed onset pain, hernias and paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (thickening and expanding of fat cells in the treated area which require liposuction to fix)
Results
SculpSure : The feather of heat provides a natural looking result.
Cool Sculpting : Due to technology, unevenness in the treatment area has been reported.
Patient Satisfaction
SculpSure : Clinical Studies have shown 83% to 100% satisfaction

What is the procedure like?
It’s a noninvasive, in-office procedure that requires about 30 minutes to complete. Your Pure Lux expert places a template over the area being treated. The laser device snaps onto the template and rests on top of your skin.
The SculpSure solution to fat loss requires no incisions or anesthesia. Patients sometimes note slight warmth or tingling at the start of the session, but it’s otherwise painless. There’s no downtime or recovery time with SculpSure. Patients can return to normal activities immediately following the session.
Is it safe?
SculpSure is an FDA-approved device that’s safe and quite effective when used by trained skin care experts like the team at Pure Lux. As the light energy from the laser penetrates the skin to heat fat cells, the device chills your skin. This prevents the risk of burning or blistering sometimes associated with other laser treatments.
There are no incisions and no risk of infection. There can be mild bruising, but nothing extreme associated with the SculpSure method. Major deep bruising is often a problem associated with traditional liposuction and other laser liposuction methods. It’s not recommended for individuals with scarring, skin rashes, or open sores at the treatment site during procedure.
How long before I notice change?
Because it takes time for the weakened fat cells to die, it takes 4-6 weeks before you start seeing results following a SculpSure session. Improvement continues for up to six months following the procedure. The SculpSure device is equipped with multiple heads, which enables your aesthetician to treat multiple areas at once.
