What you can expect:
» The suction pressure may cause sensations of deep pulling, tugging and pinching. You may experience:
stinging, tingling, aching or cramping as the treatment begins. These sensations generally subside as the area becomes numb.
The treated area may look or feel stiff after the procedure and transient blanching (temporary
whitening of the skin) may occur. You may feel a sense of nausea or dizziness as your body naturally
warms and sensation returns to your treatment area. These are all normal reactions that typically
resolve within minutes.
» Bruising, swelling, and tenderness can occur in the treated area and it may appear red for a few hours
after the applicator is removed.
» You may feel a dulling of sensation in the treated area that can last for several weeks after your
procedure. Other changes – including deep itching, tingling, numbness, tenderness to the touch, pain in
the treated area, strong cramping, muscle spasms, aching and/or soreness – also have been reported
after a ThermaSculpt treatment.
» Patient experiences will differ. Some patients may experience a delayed onset of the previously
mentioned occurrences.
Contact us immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.
» You may start to see changes as early as three weeks after ThermaSculpt, and you will experience the
most dramatic results after one to three months. Your body will continue naturally to process the
injured fat cells from your body for approximately four months after your procedure.
» You may decide that additional treatments are needed to reach your desired outcome.
» In rare cases, patients have experienced vasovagal symptoms during the treatment, and reported
freeze burn, darker skin color, hardness, discrete nodules or enlargement of the treatment area. Surgical
intervention may be required to correct the enlargement. I understand that these and other unknown
side effects may also occur.
