I-Lipo vs. SculpSure
If your diet and exercise attempts aren’t working, you still have several options to get rid of unwanted fat. Most people are familiar with liposuction, which is a surgical procedure to remove fat. Now, however, non-surgical ways are available to reduce fat faster and with less pain and a shorter recovery time.
Two of the non-surgical methods are i-Lipo and SculpSure. These body contouring treatments give you results without needles and without recovery time. Only SculpSure can provide you with permanent and safe body contouring for those stubborn fat pockets you can’t seem to lose. This method helps to achieve some skin tightening benefits as well.
How Does the SculpSure Procedure for Fat Removal Work?
SculpSure is an FDA-approved, light-based treatment. Using a 1,060-nanometer laser, the SculpSure technology breaks down stored fat in your body without hurting the surrounding tissues. SculpSure is a non-invasive treatment, and you will not need general anesthesia to go through this procedure. Most patients experience little or no discomfort.
The SculpSure procedure is as follows:
- Laser energy targets fat deposits under the skin’s surface.
- The heat from the laser heats and damages the structure of the fat cells underneath, killing them. This process is how the heat destroys the excess fat cells.
- Your body gets rid of the damaged cells over time.
- The fat cells are gone, and they cannot regrow, helping to eliminate fat cells permanently.
With Dr. Brantner, you can see results in as little as six weeks. You’ll reach your final results in about 12 weeks, though better results can be seen with multiple treatments.
The treatment takes less than a half-hour, and you will be one step closer to reaching your goals. You also don’t have to change your daily routine once you finish treatment, and can resume normal activities immediately.
Every individual is different. Some patients need a couple of SculpSure treatments per area, depending on their body and goals. You can come in for your next treatment after six weeks, with many patients returning for follow-up sessions.
Who Can Use SculpSure for Laser Liposuction and Fat Reduction?
Anyone who wants to target fat cells in their body or face can use this procedure. SculpSure technology effectively decreases fat in common treatment areas, including:
- Flanks
- Neck and Chin area
- Upper arms
- Upper and lower back
- Stomach / Abdomen
- Thighs, including inner and outer thighs
SculpSure is ideal for people in overall good health who struggle with stubborn fat areas. This procedure can speed up your efforts with toning and fitness, helping you maintain a healthy weight. It’s particularly effective for smaller areas of excess fat that resist diet and exercise. It is not recommended during pregnancy.
Also, if you want to choose a plastic surgeon for this procedure, make sure you check out their Ilipo before and after images before you make any decision. Contact the office of Dr. Jim Brantner to discuss your candidacy for SculpSure. It’s time to finally take care of those troubled areas.
SculpSure vs. I-Lipo for Non-Surgical Body Contouring
Unlike SculpSure, other non-invasive fat loss procedures do not eliminate fat cells. For example, i-Lipo uses low-level laser tech to shrink fat cells. These shrunken cells can expand again because they aren’t removed from the body.
When you get i-Lipo or a similar procedure, a doctor will instruct you to pair it with diet and exercise. To truly achieve results this way, you need to completely change your lifestyle. The results are not as permanent as those from laser liposuction techniques that destroy the cells.
Compared to i-Lipo, the benefits of SculpSure include:
- Shorter procedure. SculpSure only takes 25 minutes. With i-Lipo, you will need at least three hour-long treatments over a two-week period.
- No Need to Diet. You do not have to make lifestyle changes after SculpSure. However, we do encourage eating balanced foods and living actively for your health.
- No downtime. With SculpSure, patients typically return to their regular activities right away. Unlike with i-Lipo, you do not need to take supplemental medications and diuretics.
SculpSure feels like a warm tingle for the duration of the treatment while maintaining a comfortable skin temperature. It is a virtually pain-free procedure, and it will be over in no time. Clinical studies show its effectiveness for fat reduction.
Is Fat Loss Different from Weight Loss?
As an adult, you will have the same number of fat cells for the rest of your life. With weight loss, your fat cells decrease in size. However, they are still there, and they can easily increase again based on your current amount of fat storage.
Some people struggle to lose weight in certain areas of their body even with strict weight-loss regimens. The SculpSure procedure ensures fat loss by permanently destroying these cells, a key difference from just losing weight.

Dr. Brantner is a highly skilled surgeon. I am so happy that I decided to go to him. After being in a car accident my nasal bones and surrounding bones had to be reconstructed. The first surgeon who worked on me did a terrible job and had zero bedside manner. That is when I sought out Dr. Branner, he not only did an amazing job fixing everything the first Doctor messed up, he also made it look better than it did originally. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
