I was recently able to try out Laser Fat Reduction at Alabama Vein Center. I’ve always genetically had a bit of a lower belly, it unfortunately runs in my family no matter the amount of diet and exercise. So when the opportunity arose for me to review this service, I was all for it! If you’re not familiar with it, it’s basically an effective, noninvasive approach to body contouring. Laser fat reduction gives you the ability to look and feel your very best, without the risk of a surgical procedure. At Alabama Vein Center they perform this using SculpSureⓇ, a revolutionary laser fat reduction treatment. I received two treatments over the span of a few months and I can already see a difference, although it can take up to 10 weeks to see maximum results. The procedure itself was fairly painless. Basically they strap the device (pictured below) to the area of fat you want to target, mine clearly being my lower abdomen. The machine goes through cycles of heat and cooling to laser off those extra fat cells. My first treatment was a little more painful than the second, only because it was during my time of the month. I recommend getting this done between your cycles because the second procedure was a breeze in comparison. I’m extremely happy with the results and highly recommend trying it out for yourself. If you have any additional questions please feel free to message me or Alabama Vein Center!

Laser Fat Reduction Q & A:
What is laser fat reduction?
Laser fat reduction is a revolutionary approach to noninvasive body contouring. This treatment option allows you to smooth areas of bulging, stubborn fat without the risk of surgery.
Laser fat reduction uses laser-generated heat to destroy individual fat cells. As the treatment is applied to areas of fatty tissue, pockets of fat are broken up. Over time, the dead fat cells are disposed of naturally by the body’s lymphatic system, leaving behind a slimmer figure.
This method for fat reduction is not for large areas of fatty tissue, but rather smaller pockets of stubborn fat that can’t be diminished with a healthy diet and exercise.
Alabama Vein & Restorative Medspa is proud to offer SculpSureⓇ, a painless treatment that uses laser fat reduction technology to reshape your body.
What is SculpSure?
SculpSure is an effective, noninvasive body contouring procedure that uses safe, laser-generated heat technology to destroy fat cells, thereby breaking up pockets of fat.
SculpSure is FDA-cleared for the removal of excess fat from the:
Belly
Thighs
Love handles
Back
Chin
SculpSure works best for those who have a healthy lifestyle, and are at a healthy weight with areas of stubborn fat. It is not a treatment for obesity.
What does a SculpSure treatment entail?
Initially, you meet with the team at Alabama Vein & Restoration Medspa. Dr. Hunt does a thorough exam and helps you create realistic goals for what your body contouring may achieve.
SculpSure treatments are done right in the office. While you recline comfortably, a belt with the applicators secured to it is placed around the area with pockets of fat. You can treat just one area or several areas with the four applicators.
During your session, the device passes laser energy through your skin without harming it, and targets your fat cells. This process takes around 25 minutes, and is not painful. You have no recovery or downtime, and can resume your normal activities immediately.
Because the destroyed fatty tissue takes some time to be flushed out of your body, full effects of your body contouring session takes around 6-12 weeks. Only one treatment is needed; however, to meet your ideal goals, a series of treatments may be an option.
If you would like to enhance the shape of your body using SculpSure, call the office or request an appointment online today.
