Cynosure SculpSure — Laser Fat Reduction
The Cynosure SculpSure utilizes a 1060nm diode laser to safely heat and destroy subcutaneous fat cells in a 25-minute hands-free session. Unlike cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) which uses suction and cold, SculpSure's flat applicators deliver hyperthermic energy, destroying up to 24% of treated fat while providing mild skin tightening benefits. It is highly effective for patients with "non-pinchable" fat. New systems retail $80,000-$120,000. Pre-owned trade $15,000-$35,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
SculpSure vs CoolSculpting?
SculpSure uses heat (1060nm laser); CoolSculpting uses cold (cryolipolysis). SculpSure takes 25 minutes; CoolSculpting takes 35-45 mins. SculpSure uses flat applicators that don't require suction, meaning no post-treatment bruising and no risk of PAH (Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia).
Does SculpSure tighten skin?
Because it relies on deep thermal heating (raising the fat layer to 42-47°C), many practitioners report mild to moderate skin tightening as a secondary benefit due to collagen stimulation. CoolSculpting provides zero skin tightening.
