Warm Sculpting Q & A
Why do I have stubborn fat?
You've tried diet and exercise, but stubborn pockets of fat remain. This is frustrating, common, and often due to factors beyond your control.
Your family history is one culprit. For example, your family may carry extra weight around the stomach. In other families, the thighs and hips may be the problem areas. While you can't change your body's hardwiring, you can fight back with WarmSculpting.
Is WarmSculpting the same as weight loss?
WarmSculpting isn't weight loss. Weight loss changes the size of fat cells — not the total number of fat cells stored in your body.
In fact, the number of fat cells in your body remains pretty constant throughout your adult life. When you lose weight, your fat cells shrink but don't go away.
In contrast, WarmSculpting treatment permanently destroys fat cells. After your treatment, the fat cells will not return.
How does WarmSculpting work?
The treatment is noninvasive, meaning the laser energy passes through your skin to target fatty deposits in your underlying tissue without incision.
Each 25-minutes treatment can destroy about 24% of fat cells in your target area, helping to free you from those stubborn accumulations of fat.
What areas does WarmSculpting treat?
The therapy targets some of the most common problem areas for fat, including:
- Thighs
- Belly
- Love handles
- Back
WarmSculpting is also effective at ridding you of fat under your chin.
What should I expect during a WarmSculpting treatment session?
Your provider at West Sacramento Urgent Care guides the treatment device over your problem area or areas. You feel a deep warmth and occasional tingling sensations. Most patients say the treatment is comfortable, not painful. Your session is short, just 25 minutes.
Afterward, you may have mild side effects, such as temporary tenderness, swelling, or firmness in your treatment area. However, there's no downtime with WarmSculpting. You can get back to work and all of your usual activities right away.
When will I see results from WarmSculpting?
It's common to see results as early as six weeks after treatment. During this period, your body is eliminating fat cells. You should see optimal results at 12 weeks, although results vary.
The majority of patients achieve the best results after a series of treatments. Talk to your provider at West Sacramento Urgent Care about the treatment plan that’s appropriate for you.
