I gained close to 60 pounds when I was pregnant with my son. Granted, that was seven years ago. BUT, my lower abdomen has never been the same. I think I always had a bit of a pooch but over the years it’s gotten worse. I’m pretty certain my abdominal muscles never fully closed and I had a c-section to make matters worse. So last week I decided to try SculpSure.

Keeping It Real.

I want to preface this post with the fact that I only post THE BEST photos on my blog and social media channels. My Instagram feed is 100% the highlight reel. Every time I take photos for the blog, I shoot a minimum of 100 pictures and those get narrowed down to about 4 or 5. After eight years of taking my own photos, I know my angles. I know how to suck in my stomach, how to stand, and most importantly, how to dress to camouflage my flaws. So you guys never see the images of me with my bad posture or stomach pooching out.

Last week I decided to visit Dr. Nanos at Kind Health Group (located in Encinitas, CA) to get a SculpSure treatment. First of all, their new office is so adorable. They call the front office “the living room” and it looks and feels just as cozy as it sounds. All of the treatment rooms are bright and airy. Air diffusers fill the rooms with a calming citrus scent. And they even made sure my favorite tunes were playing while I had my treatment. Guess who was singing along to WHAM, Michael Jackson and even Hall & Oats? Ha! Dr. Nanos & her team were all amazing…making sure I was comfortable and answering all of my questions. I felt like I was having a spa day hanging with my girlfriends!

For maximum results, we decided to treat two areas…my stomach and my flanks (love handles). The SculpSure machine has four panels that attach with a belt. They can be configured different ways to target your problem areas and each area/treatment takes 25 minutes.

We did my stomach first and I’m not going to lie…it was pretty uncomfortable. The top portion hurt worse than the lower portion and it felt like my stomach was super tense…almost like my stomach was twisted in knots. The best way I can explain it was intense hunger pangs or maybe even what I imagine a contraction would feel like (remember I had a c-section so never experienced contractions).

Obviously it wasn’t too bad though because I am grinning ear to ear in the pic below when we moved the panels to my love handles. It really didn’t hurt at all on my backside…just a few stinging sensations but completely tolerable. And I’m pretty sure they had it at the highest level of intensity.

How SculpSure Works

Targeted laser energy heats fat cells under the skin without affecting the skins surface. SculpSure raises the temperature of fat cells damaging their structural integrity. Over the next three months, the damaged fat cells are processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. Fat cells are permanently removed and will not regenerate. Results can be seen as soon as six weeks, and optimal results are typically seen at twelve weeks. Click here to learn more.

Results can be seen after just one treatment, but I’ve already scheduled my second treatment for the first week in June. I will be posting my before and after photos at that time so be sure and check back. And if you have any questions at all, please leave them in the comments and I will be sure to get back to you!

P.S. Get 20% off one area or 35% off two or more areas on your first SculpSure treatment just by mentioning “The Stylish Housewife” when you book!
