SculpSure Body Contouring in NYC

Non-surgical laser fat reduction for selected areas of stubborn fat. At Dermacare Medical in Manhattan, Dr. Yuriy Yagudin evaluates your goals and develops an individualized body-contouring plan.

About This Treatment

SculpSure uses a 1060-nm diode laser to heat targeted fat beneath the skin without incisions. It is designed for contouring localized fat deposits—not for weight loss. Common treatment areas include the abdomen and flanks; other cleared areas include the back and inner and outer thighs. Available treatment areas at our practice are confirmed during your consultation.

Individualized Evaluation

SculpSure is generally considered for people near their goal weight who want to address localized fat that persists despite diet and exercise. Dr. Yagudin assesses the thickness and distribution of fat, skin laxity, medical history and expectations before discussing SculpSure or an alternative.

What to Expect

During a typical body-area session, applicators are secured over the selected treatment area. The laser delivers cycles of warming and cooling, and a session usually lasts about 25 minutes per area. Patients may notice deep warmth, tingling or intermittent discomfort. Your physician will explain the specific treatment plan beforehand.

Results & Recovery

Most patients can return to ordinary activities soon after treatment. Temporary tenderness, swelling, redness, bruising or firmness can occur. Changes may become noticeable around six weeks, with fuller results commonly assessed around 12 weeks. Some patients choose more than one session. Individual outcomes vary, and maintaining a stable weight helps preserve contouring results.

Safety & Candidacy

Tell Dr. Yagudin about your medical conditions, implanted devices, prior procedures, medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any skin problems in the treatment area. SculpSure is not a treatment for obesity or significant loose skin. Temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising and firmness are possible; uncommon complications and alternatives will be reviewed during informed consent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments are needed?

Some patients see improvement after one session; others may benefit from additional treatments depending on the amount and distribution of fat and their goals. Your plan is individualized.

Is there downtime?

Most patients resume normal daily activities immediately or shortly afterward. Mild tenderness, swelling or firmness may persist temporarily.

How do I know if I am a candidate?

An examination helps determine whether your main concern is localized fat, loose skin or overall weight. SculpSure is intended for localized fat reduction rather than weight loss.
