“Melt” Fat Away with SculpSure
When it comes to achieving the ideal body shape, diet and exercise may not always be enough. Stubborn pockets of fat can linger in certain areas, even with a healthy lifestyle. But you shouldn’t have to resort to surgical procedures if you’re looking to improve your body contour. That’s why SculpSure is an effective solution for many of our patients, enabling them to “melt” fat away over time.
SculpSure vs. Liposuction
Sculpsure is a lipolysis (fat-destroying) device that uses a non-ablative 1060-nm diode laser to get rid of stubborn pockets of fat. Unlike liposuction, it requires no surgery, no anesthesia, and no downtime. It is FDA-approved and proven to be a safe and effective method for reducing fat in problem areas such as the abdomen, waist, thighs, and love handles. Studies have also shown it to be effective in the treatment of submental fat (under-chin fat/double chin). (1)
At Southern Surgical Arts, we understand that every patient is unique, which is why we offer customizable treatment plans to meet individual needs and goals. Our experienced team of medical professionals will work with you to create a personalized plan that targets your specific problem areas.
How Does SculpSure Work?
During the treatment, a specialized device delivers laser energy into the targeted area. The laser heats up the fat cells, causing them to break down and be eliminated by the body’s natural processes over time.
Is SculpSure Painful?
Each session typically lasts 25 minutes, and most patients report feeling only a mild warming sensation during the treatment. In clinical trials, responses to the 1060 nm diode laser have been positive. In one study, 62% of patients described discomfort as mild, 38% described it as moderate, and nobody described it as severe. (2)
Our patients have reported high satisfaction rates with SculpSure, praising its effectiveness in reducing stubborn fat and improving body contours. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to achieve a more toned and sculpted physique, SculpSure may be the perfect solution for you.

Personal Consultation
Before undergoing SculpSure treatment, it is important to schedule a consultation with one of our team members to ensure it’s right for you. During this consultation, we will review your medical history and discuss your cosmetic concerns with you in detail. This will help us determine whether SculpSure is the right treatment for you and create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Preparation
- Prior to your treatment, it is important to avoid UV exposure. We advise staying out of the sun at least 7 days before your SculpSure procedure.
- Avoid wearing lotion, moisturizer, or other skin creams in the area of treatment on the day of your procedure.
- Stay hydrated and eat a small meal before your SculpSure treatment.
- Ensure that you have discussed all the necessary health information with us, including your current medications.
Procedure
The SculpSure device comprises a portable unit with four adjustable arms. These arms each have a flat surface at the end from which laser energy is released. Using a special belt to secure the device, each part can be locked into place, following the natural shape of your body.
During the SculpSure procedure, our experienced doctors use advanced laser technology to selectively target fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue. The laser energy heats up targeted fat cells, causing them to rupture and die off over time. Your body then eliminates these dead cells naturally, resulting in a slimmer, more toned appearance.
Recovery & Results
After your SculpSure treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area. These are common side effects that most patients see dissipate within a few hours. We advise you to massage the treatment area for 5-10 minutes each day in the coming weeks to encourage the removal of treated fat by your lymphatic system. It is also advisable to stay well-hydrated and take regular exercise.
We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for the first few days after your treatment to ensure proper healing. However, as no downtime is required, you can resume your regular activities immediately after your SculpSure treatment is complete! Once the swelling has subsided, you can expect to see fat-reducing results in as little as 4-6 weeks.
Cost of SculpSure in Chattanooga, TN
The cost of SculpSure varies depending on the number of areas treated and the number of sessions required to achieve optimal results. However, we always provide our patients with an accurate estimate for the price of their procedure during their personal consultation.

FAQ
Is SculpSure the same as liposuction?
No. SculpSure is a non-invasive laser-based body-contouring treatment that requires no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime. It uses heat to target and eliminate fat cells. On the other hand, liposuction requires small incisions in the treatment area for the insertion of a cannula and at least 1 week of downtime. How long will the treatment area be after SculpSure? In most cases, tenderness will subside after a few days. However, for some patients, it may persist for up to two weeks. Over-the-counter pain medications and cold compresses can help to relieve any discomfort. Are SculpSure and CoolSculpting the same? No. SculpSure is a laser-based treatment that uses heat energy to destroy fat cells. CoolSculpting, on the other hand, uses cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells.
What areas can SculpSure treat?
SculpSure is designed to target specific areas of the body where stubborn fat accumulates, such as the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, and double chin. Our experienced team at Southern Surgical Arts will work with you to identify your problem areas and create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
