Say Goodbye to Stubborn Fat With SculpSure® Body Contouring 

If you're eating right and exercising but still can't shake those stubborn pockets of fat, you're not alone. At Bayview General Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we understand how frustrating it is to deal with diet-resistant areas like the abdomen and love handles. 

That's why Dr. Richard Blanchar and our team offer SculpSure® Body Contouring, a state-of-the-art, noninvasive laser treatment that permanently destroys targeted fat cells. This FDA-cleared treatment reduces unwanted fat on the belly, flanks (aka love handles), back, inner and outer thighs, and under the chin. The advanced technology helps improve body contours in specific areas without surgery, anesthesia, or required downtime.

How does SculpSure body contouring work?

SculpSure body contouring targets stubborn fat by using a 1060-nm diode laser to heat and permanently destroy subcutaneous fat cells beneath your skin. 

The laser safely raises the temperature of fat cells to about 47°C, triggering a natural process called apoptosis, which is the biological term for controlled cell death. While the laser heats the fat beneath the skin, the device's built-in cooling plates protect your skin, keeping you comfortable throughout the session. Over the next several weeks, your body's lymphatic system naturally processes and removes these damaged cells. 

What makes SculpSure a viable nonsurgical solution?

The ideal candidate for SculpSure is within 30 pounds of their ideal weight, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 for SculpSure body treatments and 49 or less for submental fat (aka a double chin).

SculpSure may be an option for people who want targeted fat reduction without surgery. Each treatment generally takes about 25 minutes, and most people can return to normal activities afterward. 

Unlike surgical liposuction, this outpatient procedure requires no incisions, needles, or anesthesia. You can schedule a session during your lunch break and return to your normal daily activities immediately. It's also safe and effective for most skin types and colors, making it a highly versatile option.

While the treated fat cells are permanently gone, maintaining a stable weight is key to keeping your results. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy habits can help support longer-lasting contouring results. 

If stubborn fat areas continue to bother you despite healthy habits, SculpSure may be worth discussing. Our team is here to guide you through every step of your body sculpting journey.
