WESTFORD, Mass., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- If your
clothes could talk, what would they say? Is that little black dress
a little too little or are last year's go-to pants now relegated to
the back of the closet? Everyone has at least one piece of clothing
in their closet they look at longingly, hoping to wear someday.
However even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, fat in
certain areas, such as the abdomen and love handles, can be
particularly difficult to eliminate. In fact, 89% of Americans
report feeling bothered by excess weight on their
bodies.1 But now there's SculpSure, a breakthrough
technology that reduces stubborn fat in problem areas for a more
slender, sculpted figure, in just 25 minutes.

Developed by Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYNO), the leader in
laser and light-based aesthetic treatments, SculpSure is a safe and
effective non-invasive treatment which eliminates up to 24% of
treated fat2 in a 25-minute procedure with no downtime,
so patients can return to their normal activities immediately. And
this innovation couldn't come at a better time, since nonsurgical
fat reduction procedures are one of the fastest growing categories
in the aesthetics market, with a 42% increase in procedures
performed from 2013 to 2014.3
"Based on the expertise gained through the development of
products such as SmartLipo™ and Cellulaze™, we're thrilled to
introduce SculpSure, an entirely new approach to non-invasive body
contouring for men and women," says Cynosure Chairman and
CEO, Michael Davin. "Most people have areas of stubborn fat
that seem impossible to get rid of and SculpSure can help these
patients achieve the noticeable results they're looking for with a
treatment that fits into their busy lifestyles."
SculpSure's patented, breakthrough technology utilizes a
selective wavelength laser that precisely targets fat cells under
the skin. The laser raises the temperature of body fat to disrupt
and destroy those subcutaneous fat cells, which are then naturally
eliminated over time and do not return. The SculpSure device is
also designed for maximum versatility, offering physicians the
ability to customize treatment to each patient's desired
results.
FDA cleared and clinically tested on over 100 patients,
SculpSure works on all skin types and is intended for patients who
are struggling with stubborn fat in common trouble spots.
Multi-site testing yielded over 90% patient satisfaction, with
results seen as quickly as 6 weeks and optimal results usually seen
in 12 weeks.
"To be able to achieve this level of body sculpting without
surgery or recovery time is a real game changer for the category,"
says Dr. Lawrence Bass, board
certified plastic surgeon and a lead investigator in SculpSure
clinical trials. "SculpSure is also comfortable and well-tolerated,
with most patients feeling nothing more than a deep warming
sensation."
