SculpSure for the inner thighs in London

Inner thighs that touch are among the areas Cynosure names for SculpSure, cleared in the US in 2017 with the outer thighs and the back. The maker's data gave a fat layer reduction of 8.0% for the inner thighs. The applicators are fitted over the inner side of each thigh on a belt, both legs in one 25-minute cycle, with normal activities straight away. Every treatment is led by Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Sculpsure Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, London, W1G 6HP, with the price in writing at a free consultation.

What it does on the inner thighs

The laser heats the fat layer on the inner thigh to the temperature at which fat cells break down, with contact cooling on the skin. The body clears the cells over the following weeks, so the thighs touch less by a fraction of the fat layer. It does not tighten loose skin on the inner thigh and it is not weight loss; for a thick, pinchable layer the doctor says at the consultation whether another route fits.

What the evidence covers

The 2017 clearance's data gave a fat layer reduction of 8.0% for the inner thighs and 7.2% for the outer thighs, the maker's figures, which we say plainly. The thighs and back page sets them out, and the knees page covers the inner knees below.

The session and after

The applicators fitted over each inner thigh, the cycle of 25 minutes, hot with cooling running throughout and the energy adjusted with you. Red and warm afterwards, then tenderness, swelling or a firm feeling for one to three weeks, with normal activities throughout. The result shows from about six weeks and is best at about twelve, when we photograph the area in our practice. The side effects page has the other risks.

Who it suits

In our practice, an adult close to the weight they want with a stubborn layer on the inner thighs, a BMI of 30 or less, and the patience for a result that shows over weeks. Your clinician checks your suitability at the consultation. The outer thighs page covers the saddlebags, and the full guide the rest.
