Destroy stubborn fat cells with a focused laser — in just 25 minutes. No surgery. No suction. No downtime. Permanent results in the areas that diet and exercise won't budge.
You eat clean. You hit the gym. Maybe you've even dropped weight on GLP-1. And yet the love handles, the lower belly pooch, the bra fat — they're still there.
That's because adult fat cells don't disappear when you lose weight. They just shrink. The pockets that frustrate you have more fat cells than the areas around them — which is exactly why they stay stubborn no matter what you do.
Sculpsure is a laser specifically designed to permanently destroy those fat cells so they can't refill again. Twenty-five minutes per session. Up to four areas at once. Then your body's lymphatic system gradually flushes them out over the following weeks.

The 1060nm laser heats fat cells past their survival point. Destroyed cells are gone — they can't refill.
Fastest non-invasive fat reduction on the market. Treats 4 areas simultaneously — fits a lunch break.
No incisions. No bruising. No suction. Walk in, get treated, return to your day. No recovery period at all.
The science is precise: heat fat cells past the point of survival without touching skin, muscle, or surrounding tissue.
1060nm wavelength passes through skin and targets fat cells specifically
Built-in contact cooling keeps skin comfortable during the 25-minute session
Internal fat-cell temperature crosses the threshold for permanent destruction
Over 6–12 weeks, your body naturally flushes the destroyed fat — gradual visible loss
Most non-invasive fat reduction works by freezing fat (CoolSculpting) or by injection (Kybella). Sculpsure uses heat — specifically a 1060nm diode laser tuned to the exact wavelength that fat cells absorb but skin doesn't.
That selectivity is what makes Sculpsure unique. The laser passes straight through your skin (which is protected by built-in cooling) and heats only the fat layer underneath. Within 25 minutes, fat cells in the treated area reach a temperature they can't survive.
Over the next 6–12 weeks, your body recognizes those cells as damaged and the lymphatic system flushes them. The result builds gradually — and stays.
Two leading non-invasive fat reduction treatments. Here's where they actually differ.
The most popular non-invasive fat reduction targets.
Lower belly pooch + upper abdomen fat. Top requested area at Halo.
The stubborn pockets above the hip on both sides. Hand-free design treats both sides at once.
The roll above the bra strap. Surprisingly common request. Two applicators cover both sides.
Inner thigh fat and outer "saddlebags." Hard to address with diet alone.
Under-chin fat. Alternative to Kybella injections. See our Double Chin page →
Treat up to 4 areas in one 25-minute session — e.g., abdomen + both flanks. Most efficient option.
About 40 minutes total. The treatment itself is 25 minutes.
Dr. B examines + builds your plan
Up to 4 hands-free applicators on target areas
Warming/cooling cycles · relax or read
No downtime · resume activity immediately
Sculpsure isn't an overnight fix — it's a 6-to-12 week reveal as your body flushes destroyed fat cells.
Treated areas feel warm, slightly tender · no swelling or bruising · resume normal activity
Some patients feel firmness in treated area · this is destroyed fat starting to clear · invisible externally
Treated area starts looking smaller · clothes fit slightly better · clear difference vs photos
~24% fat reduction in treated area complete · this is your "before/after" reveal · result is permanent
Most patients add a second session at the 12-week mark for compounding ~40% total reduction
Most patients see best results with a series of 2–3 treatments per area, spaced 6–12 weeks apart.
"Did the GLP-1 program with Dr. B, lost 30lbs over six months. But my love handles were still hanging on. Two Sculpsure sessions on the flanks and they finally flattened. The combination of GLP-1 + Sculpsure for stubborn fat was the missing piece I'd been looking for."
"Considered liposuction for years but couldn't justify the recovery time. Tried Sculpsure on my upper abdomen as a test. Three sessions over six months and the difference is honestly comparable to lipo — without ever taking a day off work. Wish I'd done it sooner."
The honest answers Dr. B would give you in the room.
Most patients describe it as alternating warm and cool sensations — uncomfortable at moments but not painful. The applicator cycles between heating the fat layer and cooling the skin surface every few minutes throughout the 25-minute session. No anesthesia needed.
Mild soreness afterward feels similar to a heavy workout in the treated area, lasting 3–7 days.
One session produces ~24% fat reduction in the treated area. Most Halo patients do 2–3 sessions per area spaced 6–12 weeks apart, which compounds to 40–60% total reduction. Patients with significant fat or who want maximum results may benefit from 4+ sessions.
Yes — destroyed fat cells don't come back. Adult bodies don't regenerate fat cells in any significant amount. However, the remaining fat cells in the treated area can still expand if you gain weight, so maintaining your current weight protects the result.
Similar results (~20–25% fat reduction either way). The main differences: Sculpsure is faster (25 min vs 35–60 min), treats more areas simultaneously (up to 4 vs 1–2), and uses laser heat instead of freezing. CoolSculpting has more clinical data and is better-known. Sculpsure tends to feel more comfortable to patients who dislike intense cold sensation.
For under-chin fat, both work. Kybella is an injection that dissolves fat over 4–6 weeks per session and typically needs 2–4 sessions. Sculpsure uses the laser applicator under the chin for 25 minutes per session. Dr. B will recommend based on your specific chin anatomy — see our Double Chin page for a full comparison.
Lipo removes more fat per session and is faster to "final result." But lipo is surgical — anesthesia, incisions, 1–2 weeks of recovery, bruising, compression garments. Sculpsure is non-surgical with zero downtime but takes 6–12 weeks per session to reveal results and may need multiple sessions. The right choice depends on how much you're removing and how much downtime you can tolerate.
Sculpsure works best for patients within 30 lbs of their goal weight who have localized pockets of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise. It's not a weight loss treatment — for significant weight loss, see our GLP-1 Weight Loss page. Many patients combine both treatments.
Sculpsure destroys fat but doesn't tighten skin. For patients with significant skin laxity in the treated area, we often pair Sculpsure with RF Microneedling to tighten the overlying skin. Dr. B will assess your skin tone during the consult.
Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with skin infections in the treatment area, patients with certain autoimmune conditions, or anyone with unrealistic expectations about fat loss (Sculpsure is for stubborn pockets, not significant weight loss). Dr. B reviews your full medical history before treatment.
