The Difference

Treatments are completed by a machine that is equipped with 4 applicators, which can treat a combination of treatments around the stomach. Some patients find that SculpSure treatments are uncomfortable.
HotSculpting treatments are very well tolerated, and patients can expect to feel the sensation of heat in the treatment area, similar that of a hot stone massage. Most people do not require any pain remedies when receiving HotSculpting treatments.
Side Effects

Indications
