What is LifeSculpt and how can it help
me?
LifeSculpt™ body
sculpting is a revolutionary treatment that uses
"fat-melting" laser wavelength technology powered by a
system called SlimLipo™. Via a few tiny incisions, this
patented laser gently "melts" fat for quick and
permanent removal from your body. Its superior
minimally-invasive technology means you'll achieve a slimmer look with minimal downtime.
What results can I expect?
You can expect to
eliminate small, localized areas of fat - almost
anywhere on the body - which are resistant to diet and
exercise. Results may vary, and are not guaranteed —
consult with a LifeSculpt physician to see if you are a
good candidate for LifeSculpt.
Which parts of my body can be treated?
You can treat fat on
almost any area of your body with LifeSculpt laser body
sculpting, but common areas for treatment include the
stomach, back (bra bulge), buttocks, chin, neck, love
handles, thighs and upper arms. For more information,

What Can LifeSculpt Do For Me?
Is this for men, too?
Yes. LifeSculpt can be
used to eliminate stubborn, fatty areas for men, too. As
with women, men can target almost anywhere on the body
but one of the more common areas is
the chest
How fast is the LifeSculpt procedure?
Depending on the area
being treated, this body sculpting treatment may take as
little as an hour. Larger trouble spots may take more
time. During your pre-procedure consultation, your
LifeSculpt physician will perform an evaluation and go
over any questions with you.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically, one treatment
is enough for a given area.
What does the process feel like?
You may be pleasantly
surprised by how little discomfort you'll feel. Patients
often say they feel slight warmth in the area. Our
state-of-the-art system features technology that has
been carefully designed to ease unnecessary trauma to
the body.
How long is the recovery?
Typically, the recovery
time is a fraction of that of traditional liposuction.
Many patients resume activity immediately following the
procedure, and may go back to work the very next day.
You may see slight bruising at the small incision sites,
which may take up to a few weeks to completely resolve.
Compression garments may also be required for a short
period of time. Ask your LifeSculpt physician about
post-procedure instructions and what you should expect
during your recovery period.
Is it done in an office setting or an operating room?
It depends upon your
physician's preference. LifeSculpt is often performed on
an outpatient basis in an office-based setting but may
also be done in a surgical facility or hospital setting.
Can I use LifeSculpt laser body sculpting if I've
already had liposuction?
Since traditional
liposuction can often result in skin irregularities,
these patients are often good candidates for LifeSculpt.
Laser body sculpting can gently "melt" remaining
unwanted fat, smooth out dents and dimples, and further
tighten healthy skin.
How do I know if this is right for me?
Every patient is
different. The best way to know if LifeSculpt is right
for you is to consult a local LifeSculpt physician.
How safe is the LifeSculpt treatment?
All surgical treatments
carry risks. Your LifeSculpt physician will review the
risks associated with this procedure with you, and
determine if LifeSculpt is right for you.
Is LifeSculpt appropriate for heavier patients?
LifeSculpt may be
performed on heavier patients. Patients with significant
weight may need to complete a weight loss program before
being treated with LifeSculpt. Your LifeSculpt physician
will determine if you are a good candidate for
LifeSculpt.
