SculpSure in NYC

SculpSure is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that permanently reduces stubborn fat using targeted laser technology. Ideal for areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin, SculpSure delivers noticeable fat reduction without surgery, needles, or downtime. If you’re looking for SculpSure in NYC, Dr. Robert Schwarcz performs this treatment personally at our Manhattan office, combining cutting-edge technology with a natural aesthetic approach for smooth, sculpted results.

What Is SculpSure?

SculpSure is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses laser energy to heat and destroy fat cells beneath the skin. Over time, your body naturally eliminates these damaged cells, leading to a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

It is most commonly used on:

• Abdomen

• Love handles (flanks)

• Back

• Thighs

• Submental area (under the chin)

Unlike invasive procedures, SculpSure requires no incisions, anesthesia, or extended recovery time.

Who Is a Candidate for SculpSure?

You may be a great candidate for SculpSure in New York City if you:

• Have areas of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise

• Are close to your ideal weight but want more contour or definition

• Want a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime

• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

SculpSure is ideal for patients seeking targeted fat reduction, not weight loss.

Who May Not Be a Candidate?

SculpSure may not be right for individuals who:

• Are significantly overweight or seeking full-body fat reduction

• Have active skin conditions or infections in the treatment area

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have unrealistic expectations about results

Dr. Schwarcz will evaluate your goals and body composition during your consultation to determine if SculpSure is the best approach.

Planning Your Treatment

Planning for SculpSure is easy and requires minimal preparation. Before your appointment:

• Stay well hydrated to help with lymphatic drainage after treatment

• Avoid sunburn or irritation in the target area

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment

Dr. Schwarcz will assess your treatment zones and develop a custom contouring plan tailored to your body and goals.

What to Expect During Treatment

SculpSure is performed in-office and takes about 25 minutes per treatment area. Most patients choose to treat more than one area per session.

Here’s what to expect:

• Before Treatment: The area is marked and a special applicator is secured to your skin.

• During Treatment: You’ll feel cycles of deep warmth and cooling as the laser energy targets fat cells. Most patients find this sensation very tolerable.

• After Treatment: There is no required downtime—you can return to work or daily activities immediately.

SculpSure’s laser energy damages the fat cells, which are then flushed out by your lymphatic system over several weeks.

Recovery

There’s virtually no downtime after SculpSure, but you may experience:

• Mild tenderness or swelling in the treated area

• A slight firm or lumpy texture as fat cells begin to break down

• Improved definition in as little as 6 weeks, with full results in about 12 weeks

Gentle massage of the area and staying active can help encourage lymphatic drainage and improve outcomes.

Results

SculpSure can reduce up to 24% of fat cells in the treated area after one session. Most patients begin to notice visible slimming after about 6 weeks, with continued improvement over 12 weeks.

Results are:

• Permanent (as long as you maintain a stable weight)

• Natural-looking

• Even and smooth, without the lumps or irregularities sometimes seen in older fat-reduction methods

Many patients choose to do a series of treatments to maximize results in larger or more resistant areas.

Complementary Procedures

To boost your results, you may consider combining SculpSure with:

• AccuTite: For subtle skin tightening in areas where fat has been reduced

• Morpheus8: To firm and rejuvenate the overlying skin

Our team will help you design a customized plan that fits your aesthetic goals.

Alternatives

If SculpSure isn’t the right fit for your goals, alternatives include:

• Liposuction: A surgical procedure to remove larger volumes of fat for more dramatic results

• Morpheus8: If your primary concern is skin laxity rather than fat

• Lifestyle adjustments: Including fitness and nutrition support to enhance results

SculpSure is a great option for those not ready for surgery or those who want a non-invasive complement to an existing routine.
