What Is WarmSculpting® With SculpSure?
WarmSculpting is a safe, FDA-approved laser treatment that helps you get rid of stubborn fat in specific areas of your body. The technology uses heat energy from a special laser that can pass through your skin without causing harm. Once this heat reaches the fat cells beneath the surface, it breaks them down and destroys them.
It’s similar to melting butter on a hot pan: The heat changes the structure of the fat cells, making them easier for your body to remove. Over time, your body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells through your waste removal systems like the liver and lymphatic system. The best part is that these fat cells are gone for good – they won’t come back, so you can enjoy a slimmer, more contoured appearance without surgery.
This process is gentle enough that it doesn’t require any downtime. It's an excellent option for targeting those areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
What to Expect During the Procedure
When you arrive for your WarmSculpting session, we’ll make sure you’re comfortable before getting started. We’ll place the device directly on your skin, targeting the area you want to treat. As the session begins, you’ll feel a warm, tingling sensation as the laser’s heat energy works on the fat cells beneath your skin.
The procedure takes about 25 minutes per area, and most clients find it quite comfortable. Once finished, you can immediately return to your daily activities.
SculpSure Treatment Areas
SculpSure treats areas that often don’t respond well to conventional fat-loss efforts. These include the:
- Back
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Flanks
- Submental area (under the chin)
- Back fat/Bra fat
SculpSure isn’t intended for significant weight loss. It’s best used to target resistant fat once you have reached a healthy body weight.
Candidacy for WarmSculpting
WarmSculpting with SculpSure is ideal for men and women who are close to their goal body weight and shape but whose bodies are holding on to fat in certain areas. You may want to fine-tune your shape, but weight loss isn't your goal. You should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.Â
During your consultation, Dr. Riehm and her team will assess your goals and determine if WarmSculpting is the right option for you. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to enhance your body’s contours, WarmSculpting could be a great fit.
Myths and Facts About Body Sculpting

Fact: Body sculpting isn’t for weight loss. It targets areas of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. You should already be close to your target weight.
Myth:Â The results from body sculpting are only temporary.
Fact:Â The fat cells destroyed during a WarmSculpting session are permanently removed from your body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to avoid gaining fat in untreated areas.
Myth:Â Body sculpting is painful and requires a long recovery time.
Fact: WarmSculpting with SculpSure is a non-invasive procedure that most people find comfortable. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation during the treatment, but it’s generally well-tolerated. There’s no downtime required.

Fact:Â Body sculpting is effective for both men and women. Everyone can have areas of stubborn fat, and WarmSculpting is a great option for anyone looking to enhance their natural contours, regardless of gender.

Body Sculpting Q & A
When Will I See Results?
You may start noticing changes as early as six weeks after your session, with full results typically visible around 12 weeks. These results are long-lasting, giving you a slimmer and more contoured appearance.
How Many Sessions of WarmSculpting With SculpSure Will I Need?
The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your body contouring goals. You can treat multiple areas in one session.
SculpSure reduces up to 24% of fat cells in a treatment area in a given session. Dr. Riehm's team customizes a treatment plan for you to achieve the look you’re after.
How Can I Maintain My SculpSure Results?
You should continue healthy lifestyle habits to keep your body looking great. Even though the treated fat cells are gone for good, other fat cells in your body can still expand if you gain weight. A balanced diet, portion control, and regular physical activity will help you keep your newly contoured figure.
Does SculpSure Hurt?
SculpSure treatments require no anesthesia or topical numbing agents and should not feel painful. No incisions, blood loss, or needles are involved. Most people describe the treatment as feeling warm and tingly, and they tolerate it quite well.
What Is the Downtime Following SculpSure Treatments?
Unlike invasive body-contouring treatments, such as liposuction, SculpSure requires absolutely no downtime. You can go right back to your daily activities following a session. You can even schedule SculpSure sessions during your lunch break and return to work afterward.
How Is Fat Loss Different Than Weight Loss?
Weight loss refers to an overall reduction in body weight, which includes fat, muscle, water, and more. It’s often achieved through diet and exercise and affects the number on the scale.
Fat loss specifically targets excess fat cells that impact your body’s shape. Fat loss leads to a more toned and contoured appearance, even if your weight doesn’t change much.
