We are led to believe that fat loss is simply a question of enough exercise and the right diet. Yet so many of us stick to a good exercise regime and a healthy eating plan and still can’t get rid of stubborn fat around the tummy, thighs and hips. Why?
There is nothing like having a big event on the calendar to set the panic-diet bells ringing.

“SculpSure is the world’s first FDA-cleared laser treatment for non-invasive lipolysis of the flanks and abdomen. It’s a state-of-the-art, controlled light-based technology, ideal for patients looking to get rid of stubborn fat… You’ll initially feel some heat, and then a cooling, but it isn’t uncomfortable and you can even work while you’re attached to the machine.”
“[Patients] are asking for new, faster, less invasive procedures. Enter SculpSure, which uses laser technology to destroy fat cells in targeted areas—think belly fat or love handles…”
