SculpSure

Non Surgical Fat Reduction

Some fat pockets do not respond to diet and exercise. You can train hard, eat well, and still see stubborn areas that soften your shape. SculpSure is a non surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce unwanted fat in targeted areas. It is built for people who want a slimmer look without surgery and without downtime that disrupts work or daily life.

At DeRosa Plastic Surgery, we evaluate your goals and your anatomy before we recommend any fat reduction treatment. Some patients are better served by laser based fat reduction. Others need liposuction to reach the result they want. We serve Metro Detroit from our West Bloomfield office, and many SculpSure patients come from nearby communities within about five miles, including Orchard Lake, Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake, and Bloomfield Township.

Schedule a SculpSure consultation

What is SculpSure?

SculpSure is a non invasive laser based fat reduction treatment that targets unwanted fat cells in specific areas. The applicators deliver controlled heat to the fat layer while the surface skin is protected. Over time, your body clears the treated fat cells. You do not see immediate change on day one. You see gradual improvement as the body processes the treated area.

SculpSure is not a weight loss procedure. It is a body contouring treatment for stubborn pockets. The best candidates are close to their goal weight and want help with specific areas that resist diet and exercise.

What areas can SculpSure treat?

SculpSure is commonly used on targeted body areas where fat tends to hold. Your candidacy depends on pinch thickness and how the fat sits on your body. During your consultation, we examine the area and confirm that SculpSure is a match.

Common treatment areas

  • Abdomen and lower belly.
  • Flanks, also called love handles.
  • Back and bra line area.
  • Inner and outer thighs in select patients.
  • Under the chin in select cases, depending on anatomy.

Common goals

  • Less bulge in fitted clothing.
  • A smoother waistline.
  • More definition at the midsection.
  • Better shape without surgery.
  • Results that look natural over time.

SculpSure vs liposuction

SculpSure and liposuction both reduce fat, but the speed and degree of change differ. Liposuction removes fat directly in a procedure. SculpSure reduces fat gradually over time through a non surgical series plan. If you want a more dramatic change, liposuction can be the better match. If you want a non invasive option and you are comfortable with gradual results, SculpSure can be the better match.

If you are also researching surgical options for the abdomen, review:
Liposuction
and
Tummy Tuck.

SculpSure vs KYBELLA

Some patients ask about double chin options. KYBELLA is an injectable treatment used to reduce fat under the chin. SculpSure uses laser heat to target fat. Your best option depends on the area, the fat pattern, and skin quality.

What to expect during a SculpSure treatment

SculpSure treatments are performed in office. We place the applicators on the planned areas and begin the session. Patients often describe cycles of warming and cooling. You can feel heat, tingling, or mild cramping sensations. Comfort varies by person and treatment area. We guide you through what is normal and what to report during the session.

Downtime and aftercare

Many patients return to normal routines quickly. You can have temporary soreness, swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising. Some patients notice firmness or numbness in the treated area for a short period. We provide aftercare instructions to help you recover smoothly.

Common aftercare guidance

  • Return to normal activity as instructed.
  • Expect mild soreness like a workout in some cases.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain stable weight for best contour.
  • Follow any guidance on massage if recommended.
  • Call the office if you have concerns that feel unusual.

When will you see results?

SculpSure results build gradually. Many patients start to notice change over the weeks that follow treatment as the body clears the targeted fat cells. Your final result depends on your starting anatomy, the areas treated, and whether you complete the plan recommended for you.

How many treatments do you need?

Some patients reach their goal after one treatment session per area. Other patients benefit from more than one treatment. The answer depends on how much reduction you want and how thick the fat layer is in the targeted area. We give you a realistic plan during your consultation so there are no surprises.

Who is a good candidate?

SculpSure works best for patients who are close to their goal weight and want reduction in stubborn pockets. It is not designed for weight loss. It also does not tighten large amounts of loose skin. If skin laxity is your main concern, another plan may fit better.

You may be a strong candidate if

  • You have pinchable fat in a specific target area.
  • You want a non surgical treatment option.
  • You accept gradual improvement, not instant change.
  • You can maintain stable weight during the series.
  • You want to avoid incisions and anesthesia.

Combine SculpSure with skin tightening and body procedures

Some patients have two goals. They want less fat, and they want better skin tightness. The right plan may combine treatments, or it may shift toward surgery if laxity is significant. If you want surgical contouring, review:
Arm Lift,
Thigh Lift,
Lower Body Lift.

Safety and risks

Non invasive does not mean risk free. Side effects can include soreness, swelling, bruising, numbness, and skin sensitivity. Proper candidacy and correct applicator placement matter. Your consultation includes a direct review of risks and what to expect based on your anatomy and goals.

I had an excellent experience and highly recommend DeRosa Plastic Surgery. I chose Dr. DeRosa to perform the breast reduction I'd wanted for 25 years and have been thrilled with the results! It's exactly what I'd hoped for, except it has also been truly life-changing. Dr. DeRosa's team was positive, caring, helpful, and took their time making sure I understood everything. I had pretty bad day-of jitters and struggled at the post-op appointment to get my drainage tubes out, and the staff was so compassionate. I recommend Dr. DeRosa both for her skill and precision but also because her office and staff are lovely, warm, and caring.

I am so happy with my first experience! They used the Pico laser to treat the dark spots on my face and remove a small tattoo. One more treatment to go! The doctor and staff love what they do and create a great environment... helps when you might be a little nervous!

Without a doubt I knew at my initial consult, Dr Amy DeRosa was my person I would place my trust in. Approachable, so very knowledgeable, an all around advocate for women, and kind! There was no hesitation to move forward with her in charge. Additionally, each individual who cared for me prior to surgery was just as comforting, so very capable and again kind. I felt safe. I would never leave out the office staff. Top notch. So very helpful, responsive and once again kind! I would recommend this office without hesitation!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. DeRosa and her entire team. From my very first interaction, everyone has been incredibly empathetic, caring, and kind. You can truly tell that they are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about helping their patients feel their best. I recently had my explant surgery and lift, and I am so happy that I made the decision to move forward with this procedure. I am only one week post-op and already feeling great. The support, compassion, and professionalism I have received throughout this process have made such a positive difference. Dr. DeRosa and her entire team made me feel comfortable, listened to, and cared for every step of the way. I am so grateful for their expertise and the way they treat their patients like real people, not just another procedure. Thank you, Dr. DeRosa and your amazing team, for making this experience such a positive one. I am so happy I chose you!

Best Decision I Could Have Made Haven’t posted yet to their google review but lmk what you think. Dr. DeRosa, Tim, and the entire team were absolutely incredible throughout my breast explant journey. From my very first emotional phone call, Tim reassured me that what I was experiencing wasn’t “in my head,” even after multiple doctors and specialists couldn’t explain my severe joint pain and inflammation. Meeting Dr. DeRosa was a turning point—she is not only highly knowledgeable but also kind, genuine, and deeply empathetic. Knowing she had personal experience made me feel even more confident in my decision. Surgery day went smoothly, and the results were life-changing. I immediately noticed I could breathe better, and the inflammation I had been suffering from disappeared. I felt like myself again with minimal discomfort. At my follow-ups, I continued to receive the same level of care and compassion. Learning that one implant had been leaking only confirmed I made the right choice. Now at 8 weeks post-op, I feel amazing and love how I look. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. DeRosa, Tim, and the entire team. If you’re considering a surgeon in Michigan, I highly recommend them—truly the best decision I could have made.

Dr. DeRosa and her entire staff were absolutely amazing! From calming my nerves, to making sure everything was taken care of, to answering every single question I had; Dr. DeRosa and her staff were top notch! It took me over 15 years to finally take the leap and get the surgery! I cannot speak highly enough of my decision and the staff that helped to make my dreams come true!

Such a great team, a very caring Doctor and I am so glad to have this behind me. Would highly recommend Dr. Amy DeRosa and her staff if you are wanting your breast implants removed.
