Excess fatty tissue in the upper arms can create an unsightly appearance, and cause restrictions in arm movement as well as limit their choice of clothes. For people who want to avoid cosmetic surgery and yet achieve enhanced upper arm contours, SculpSure laser-based non-invasive procedure can provide an effective solution.

SculpSure can successfully reduce stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the lower tummy, abdomen, flanks, hips, inner and outer thighs, and upper arms. Fantastic, judicious, and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides SculpSure procedure to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding cities and suburbs in this area of The Silver State.

Convenience and Comfort

Unlike plastic surgery or even several non-surgical procedures, SculpSure treatment takes very little time to achieve the desired aesthetic goals. Up to four laser applicators can be used at one time to address an area such as the upper arms. The treatment session can be completed in no more than 25 minutes.

SculpSure procedure causes no significant discomfort, and does not require even local or topical anesthetic. The patient can sit comfortably in a recliner and read a book, use the mobile phone, or just take a nap while the treatment provider addresses the targeted fatty tissue in the upper arms.

The treatment can be performed in the provider’s office. No specific downtime or recovery period is involved. A patient may even receive the upper arm fat reduction treatment during lunch hour from work, and simply go back to their workplace after the treatment session.

How does it Work?

The SculpSure applicators will release low level laser energy into the upper arm area, causing controlled heating in the targeted fat and subcutaneous tissue. The fat cells will be disrupted and will begin to melt at the raised temperatures. A unique in-built skin cooling system will help maintain the outer skin at a comfortable temperature while the fat cells are being treated.  

The disrupted fat cells will gradually exit from the body through the patient’s natural metabolic system, revealing slimmer upper arm contours in a few weeks. Up to 24 percent reduction in excess fat, measuring circumference and thickness, can be achieved in the upper arms with SculpSure treatment.

Results

SculpSure treatment may be completed in one to three sessions, depending on the amount of excess fat to be removed from the upper arms and the patient’s personal cosmetic goals. Each fat reduction session will be spaced about six weeks apart. The patient will experience noticeable results within a few weeks to a few months after the treatment.

Studies have shown that more than 90 percent of treated patients achieve satisfactory results with SculpSure body sculpting treatment. Results are more natural looking and sustainable as they develop gradually from within. SculpSure procedure also promotes the production of fresh collagen and elastin fibers in the upper arm area, leading to generation of youthful and healthy tissue over time.

The patient should maintain a healthy diet and active lifestyle to extend the results of SculpSure in the long run. Profound and astute cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for SculpSure upper arm fat reduction.

SculpSure is the world’s first non-invasive body contouring procedure cleared by the FDA for fat reduction in the flanks and abdomen. The procedure is ideally suited for people who want to avoid cosmetic surgery and yet achieve a slimmer and more sculpted body. During the initial consultation, the treatment provider will educate the patient about all aspects of SculpSure.

Some providers may like to present SculpSure body contouring before and after photographs before the patient. This will give a fair idea of the potential effectiveness of this treatment.

Fantastic, cutting edge, and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides SculpSure non-invasive body sculpting procedure to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities across the horizon.

What are SculpSure Before and After Pictures?

Before and after pictures in case of SculpSure non-invasive body contouring treatment refer to a pair or group of images belonging to a past patient who has received the same procedure with successful results. The images include pictures taken prior to the procedure and after the procedure at a time when all the treatment sessions are completed and full effects of body contouring have been established.

Just like any plastic surgery procedure, the provider will ensure in case of SculpSure that the photographs are obtained with the express consent of the patient and presented before new patients in an appropriate manner. The patient’s identity may be kept confidential as per the norm. The provider’s only goal in this exercise is to use these photos as an educational aid to explain to new patients about the aesthetic benefits of SculpSure.

Advantages

SculpSure is a laser-based non-surgical body contouring procedure. A new patient may have concerns about how successfully the procedure can help eliminate unwanted fat pockets in the abdomen and flanks, or whether it will meet their personal cosmetic goals.

Some patients may only need limited fat reduction, while others may require substantive fat removal in multiple sites. In each case, the patient will be better placed to make the right choices when they have access to SculpSure before and after photos. Experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and other areas of this part of southeast Nevada for SculpSure body contouring.

What really has changed the game is digital technology which will be mentioned down below as well briefly. It just needs to be emphasized that digital technology has changed the game and the plastic surgery industry has embraced it. You can see on the website of Dr. Richards all those before and after pictures of all those procedures which helps so many patients make salient decisions without getting anyone else involved.

In the age of social media and sharing, some things should still remain private.

Keeping Realistic Expectations

In any aesthetic procedure, the best patient satisfaction levels are often achieved in cases where the patient has a positive frame of mind, clear cosmetic goals and realistic expectations. Therefore, a treatment provider may prefer to provide SculpSure before and after photos at the very outset so that the patient knows exactly what the procedure can or cannot do for them.

SculpSure is not a weight loss procedure. Patients should review as many before and after photos as possible to gain a clear perspective. Patients with realistic expectations will be able to appreciate the final outcomes in a better way and feel happy about their new sculpted figure.

Website Photos

The treatment provider may choose to provide SculpSure before and after photos on their practice website which Dr. Richards does not have right now but any patient may be able to see them during the consultation. This way new patients can conveniently access the photos even before they are ready to visit the provider’s office for a SculpSure consultation but in this case, the patient may have to call in and see the before and after pictures during the consultation.

But with all those before and after pictures on the site, any patient can detect the caliber of Dr. Richard’s work.

SculpSure is an innovative laser-based procedure designed to improve body contours through fat reduction without cosmetic surgery. During the pre-op consultation, the treatment provider will discuss all aspects of the SculpSure technology and procedure, and will also inform the estimated costs to the patient.

The first concern of a responsible provider will be to help the patient make a well-considered decision. Cost is an important aspect for patients, particularly because SculpSure will not be covered by health insurance. Remarkable, sagacious, and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides SculpSure to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations in The Battle Born State.

Cost Comparison with Surgery

The cost of an FDA cleared SculpSure body sculpting procedure are likely to be considerably lower than that of liposuction plastic surgery. SculpSure involves no anesthesia, which means that the fee charges of anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist are avoided. Secondly, the procedure can be comfortably performed in the surgeon’s office, where as liposuction will involve the costs of a hospital or an accredited surgery center.  

Liposuction also typically involves post-treatment expenses, including medical tests, prescription drugs, compression garments, and post-operative visits to the surgeon’s office. All these expenses are mostly avoided in case of SculpSure. Patients can immediately return to their workplace, which can also have a cost saving impact for some working people.

Price Factors

The costs of an FDA cleared SculpSure procedure can marginally vary from one practice to another and even from one patient to another at the same practice. Where the practice is located will make a difference to the actual costs of the procedure.

Practices in main metropolitan areas and prime urban centers often have to bear higher real estate expenses and other overheads compared to a practice operating in a small town in an interior region. This will influence the costs of every procedure and service offered.

The kind of personalized care, facilities and services that a practice offers, and the expertise of the treatment provider can also have an impact on the price tag to some extent. A practice headed by a board certified plastic surgeon would typically invest in high quality standards and best practices and follow the latest safety protocols.

Extent of Treatment

Some patients may only need a single treatment session of SculpSure to achieve their limited body sculpting goals in one or two areas of the body. On the other hand, some patients may require multiple sessions over several months to achieve significant fat reduction in different areas of the body. The costs between two patients can differ on this basis.  

Sometimes the patient may choose to receive SculpSure procedure in conjunction with another non-surgical or surgical procedure. This could make them eligible for a rebate or a special package price.

Financing

Patients have an option to get the SculpSure procedure financed from professional medical care financing companies or other traditional sources. These professional third party financiers offer competitive interest rates, quick loan approvals and convenient monthly installments of up to 60 months for patients seeking cosmetic procedures. Amazing and dedicated cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and other suburbs and communities for SculpSure.

SculpSure is a laser-based fat reduction procedure designed for women and men who want to avoid cosmetic surgery procedures such as liposuction.

SculpSure is suitable for various body types, and eliminates fat tissue in multiple areas at once with an average treatment session of 25 minutes. The procedure involves no incisions, no anesthesia, and little to no discomfort or downtime.

SculpSure also holds the distinction of being the world’s first FDA cleared laser treatment for non-invasive lipolysis to get rid of stubborn fat deposits in the abdomen and flanks. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides SculpSure to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities across the landscape in this section of the southwest.

How does it Work?

SculpSure involves the use of a hands-free laser belt that delivers controlled heat energy using specific wavelengths to eliminate targeted fat cells. Upper and lower abdominal areas as well as flanks are most effectively treated for fat reduction with this procedure. People who want to avoid plastic surgery and have a body mass index of 30 or less may make ideal candidates for SculpSure if they need to enhance body contours.

The 1,060 nm wavelength works very well on the adipose tissue in affected sites. Combined with minimal absorption in the dermis, SculpSure efficiently treats areas of troublesome fat in a short procedure.

Once the unwanted fat cells are disrupted with this treatment, they will get naturally removed from the area over a few weeks. Results can be seen as early as six weeks, and optimal outcomes are established in about three months.

Procedure

During the SculpSure appointment, the patient will be seated in a comfortable, reclined position, while the treatment provider marks the areas of treatment. The SculpSure device will be wrapped around the targeted area of the body like a belt. The applicators in the device will deliver precisely controlled laser energy that is hot enough to kill fat cells under the skin, without harming the surrounding healthy tissue.

The device will alternate between delivering a heat laser and a cooling effect. A single treatment session will last for about 25 minutes. The patient can comfortably relax, read or take a nap while the procedure is in progress. Some patients may require multiple treatments, which can be scheduled in about six to 12 weeks when the results of the first treatment are firmed up.

Treatment Highlights

• Controlled hyperthermic fat reduction
• Consistency of adipose tissue temperature within a tolerable range
• No damage to dermal tissue
• Fat reduction up to 24 percent
• Proven results in multisite clinical trials
• Patient satisfaction rate of over 90 percent
• Comfortable and well-tolerated treatment
• Can be used on all skin types
• Contact Cooling for patient comfort

Recovery

SculpSure procedure involves practically no recovery period. Patients can feasibly have the treatment completely during their lunch hour from work, and simply return to their workplace immediately.

Awesome and poignant cosmetic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and other communities and cities in this part of the nation for SculpSure body sculpting treatment and various other cosmetic procedures.
