The main difference between the two procedures is the type of lipolysis technology they use to dissolve and break up fat tissues. Sculpsure uses laser heat technology to melt away fat cells, while CoolSculpting freezes them away using its advanced cryolipolysis (or fat freezing) procedure. CoolSculpting: cryolipolysis (fat freezing)

SculpSure does indeed kill the fat cells so they never return. Other low level cold laser lipo procedures only shrink the cells – leaving them in place to fill up again, unless strict dieting and exercise is maintained.Apr 19, 2019
