A double chin, also known as a submental fullness, is a physical feature that many people would like to eliminate since it is often viewed as an unappealing characteristic. Many things can lead to a double chin including genetics, weight, diet, and age.

SculpSure® is a remarkable procedure that enables individuals to achieve a slimmer appearance with face sculpting. It limits the need for invasive surgery and lengthy recovery time. With this procedure, patients can achieve a younger, improved look.

What is SculpSure?

SculpSure is an FDA-approved procedure. It is a non-invasive facial contouring system that effectively improves the appearance of a double chin. It helps to highlight facial lines while creating a slender facial appeal.

How Beneficial is SculpSure to Treat a Double Chin?

SculpSure offers laser face sculpting, which destroys fat cells with the use of heat. It does not affect the surface of the skin but, instead, combats unwanted fat cells underneath the skin. These cells are destroyed and are purged from the body by the lymphatic system. The benefit of using this method is that it permanently dissolves fat cells from the targeted area. It is also virtually painless.

At the onset of the treatment, individuals will feel a cooling sensation, which will persist throughout the procedure and is implemented to keep the skin cool and relaxed. Patients will then experience alternating feelings of tingling or slight heat. Individuals who choose to go forward with this procedure can expect to see results within 6 – 12 weeks.

What is the Duration of Face Contouring with SculpSure?

For double chin removal, participants will find the SculpSure neck treatment very advantageous. It requires only a small amount of time to eliminate fat cells. The treatment lasts about 25 minutes per session. Although the duration is short, some individuals may need more than one treatment for stubborn fat cells. However, customized treatment plans will be arranged to ensure that each patient receives the care and results they desire.

What is the Recovery Time for the Procedure?

After the procedure has been performed, participants can expect to return to their daily activities. There is no downtime with this treatment, so you won’t have to plan for ample recovery.

What Other Areas Can Benefit from SculpSure?

SculpSure is a body contouring technology that can be used for various parts of the body, not just the chin. It can be used in the abdominal area, thighs, legs, and other areas where unwanted fat cells accumulate.

General FAQ’s:
What is PicoSure Pro?

PicoSure Pro is the first picosecond aesthetic laser platform designed for various cosmetic treatments, including tattoo removal, acne scar treatment, removal of pigmented lesions, and wrinkle reduction. This advanced laser technology delivers extremely short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second to target and break down pigment without damaging surrounding skin, promoting a more youthful and even skin appearance.

Why Choose PicoSure Pro Laser Treatment?

Considering your options for skin rejuvenation is crucial. Traditional treatments like face-lifts, fillers, and injectables often involve significant downtime, risks, and side effects. PicoSure Pro laser treatment offers a non-surgical, less invasive alternative that can effectively address your aesthetic concerns. Consult with our experienced practitioners to see if PicoSure Pro is the right choice for you.

Pigment FAQ’s:
What causes unwanted pigment?

Melanin is responsible for our skin color. Pigmented lesions, such as sunspots, age spots, and brown patches, occur when melanin is concentrated in specific areas of the skin. Sun exposure is a common cause, though some people may have pigmented lesions from birth or due to hormonal changes.

What types of pigmented lesions can PicoSure Pro remove?

PicoSure Pro effectively treats a variety of unwanted pigments, including age spots, freckles, and brown patches. During a consultation, your practitioner will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve clearer, pigment-free skin.

How many treatment sessions will it take?

Most pigmented lesions can be significantly improved with just a few treatments. However, larger, darker, and deeper lesions may require additional sessions. Your practitioner will discuss your specific treatment plan and expectations during your consultation.

What does the treatment feel like?

Patients generally find PicoSure Pro treatments tolerable and often do not need numbing agents. The laser's pulses are often described as feeling like a quick snap from a thin rubber band.

What type of post-treatment care is necessary?

After treatment, the area may be slightly tender. It’s important to keep the area clean and avoid irritation. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Scar Treatment FAQ’s:
How does laser scar treatment work?

PicoSure Pro laser scar treatment uses ultra-short pulses of light to penetrate deeply into the skin’s layers, targeting the underlying structure. The body's natural healing process then removes the older, damaged tissue and replaces it with new collagen and elastin, leading to healthier, smoother skin.

What types of scars can be treated?

PicoSure Pro is FDA-cleared and Health Canada approved for treating acne scars on any part of the body, including the face.

Am I a good candidate for this treatment?

PicoSure Pro laser scar treatment is suitable for many skin types, from light to darker tones. A consultation with one of our practitioner’s can determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

How long does it take?

Treatment sessions can be as brief as 15 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

What does the treatment feel like?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PicoSure Pro scar treatments. Your practitioner will discuss options to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

How many treatments will I need?

Noticeable improvements in acne scars can begin after two treatments, with optimal results typically seen after a series of three to five sessions.

How quickly will I recover?

Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after the treatment.

Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site. Treated pigmentation may whiten initially, darken over the next 24 hours, and then gradually fade.

Wrinkle Treatment FAQ’s:
How does it work?

PicoSure Pro targets the three layers of skin affected by aging: surface pigment, mid-dermal wrinkles, and deeper dermal laxity. The body’s natural healing process removes damaged tissue and regenerates it with fresh collagen and elastin, essential for youthful-looking skin.

Am I a good candidate for this procedure?

If you have fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth, or other areas of your body such as the face, hands, and arms, you may be a good candidate for PicoSure Pro treatments.

How long does it take?

Sessions can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

What does the treatment feel like?

Your provider will offer options to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Treatment sensations vary, so it’s best to discuss your concerns with your provider.

How many treatments will I need?

A series of three to four treatments is usually recommended. Treatment intervals range from two to four weeks, but may extend up to eight weeks for darker skin types. Each patient’s needs will be assessed before starting treatment.

How quickly will I recover?

Side effects like temporary redness and swelling usually resolve within an hour but can occasionally last up to 24 hours.

Are there any side effects?

Potential side effects include temporary pigmentation changes, mild redness, swelling, and rare risks of scarring or infection. Following your practitioner's aftercare instructions will help minimize these risks.

General FAQ’s:
How does PicoSure Pro laser tattoo removal work?

PicoSure Pro laser energy targets the tattoo ink, breaking it down into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in the gradual fading of the tattoo.

What does laser tattoo removal feel like?

The sensation of PicoSure Pro laser tattoo removal is often likened to the feeling of getting a tattoo, though the process is much quicker. Your practitioner will discuss comfort options tailored to your needs.

How many treatments will tattoo removal require?

The number of treatments needed for tattoo removal varies based on factors such as ink type, tattoo size, location on the body, the laser used, and your lifestyle habits. During your consultation, a practitioner will assess your tattoo and create a customized treatment plan to achieve optimal results.

How often will I need treatments?

Typically, it takes 4-8 weeks for the body to process and absorb the ink particles after each session. However, individual responses can vary. Adhering to the recommended post-treatment care can enhance results and minimize any potential side effects.

How will my skin look after the laser treatment?

Immediately following treatment, you may notice slight whitening or "frosting" of the skin, which will subside quickly. Mild swelling and redness are also common. Your practitioner will provide guidance on how to keep the treated area moisturized.

My tattoo was treated with a laser in the past and didn’t clear, why would I try again now?

Before the advent of PicoSure Pro, Q-Switched lasers were the standard for tattoo removal, using thermal energy to break down ink particles. PicoSure Pro uses ultra-short pulses to shatter ink into minuscule, dust-like particles, which are more easily absorbed and eliminated by the body. This technology has shown great success in removing stubborn blue and green inks, as well as previously treated tattoos that were difficult to clear.

Can I lighten the tattoo to have another one put on top?

Yes, tattoos can be lightened in preparation for a cover-up. Your practitioner may suggest waiting six weeks between your final treatment and getting your new tattoo.

How much does tattoo removal cost?

The cost of PicoSure Pro laser tattoo removal depends on various factors, including the size of the tattoo and the number of sessions required. Since tattoo removal is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance. After your consultation, your practitioner will provide an estimate for the treatment series.
