Winter offers an ideal window for body contouring because of how the treatment timeline aligns with when most people want to see results: summer.
SculpSure® destroys fat cells through controlled laser energy, but your body needs time to process and naturally eliminate those cells. Starting treatments in winter gives your body the months it needs to reveal your final results when the weather warms up.
At Eze Health Center in Waldorf, Maryland, Chinyere Eze, MS, PA-C, and our team help patients plan their body contouring timeline to match their goals and schedules. Here’s what you need to know about creating that summer body this winter.
Each SculpSure session takes about 25 minutes per treatment area. The laser heats and damages fat cells, which your lymphatic system then removes over the following weeks.
Most patients need 1-3 sessions per area, spaced six weeks apart. You start noticing changes around six weeks after treatment, with optimal results appearing at 12 weeks.
If you start SculpSure treatments in January, you could see visible results by April. Beginning in February or March still gives you substantial improvement before summer activities begin.
We evaluate several factors before recommending body contouring treatments, including:
This assessment helps determine whether SculpSure aligns with your goals and whether starting this winter makes sense for you.
SculpSure permanently destroys the fat cells it targets, meaning they don’t come back. But your remaining fat cells can still expand after treatment, and weight gain can show up in your untreated areas.
Most patients find that maintaining their body contouring results requires the same approach they used during weight loss:
Weight fluctuations of more than 10 pounds can change how your body looks after contouring. Small increases might not be obvious at first, but your body stores fat according to your genetic patterns.
Starting body contouring treatments now means that you can see your summer body develop as the weather improves. The process fits naturally into winter routines, and the timeline gives your body adequate time to eliminate destroyed fat cells by the time you’re ready to head to the beach.
At Eze Health Center, we create treatment plans based on your individual circumstances and the timeline that works for your goals. Call 240-219-6889 to schedule a consultation, or send us a message online.
