Serving patients in Avon, Farmington, and Greater Hartford, CT
You’ve worked hard with diet and exercise, but sometimes there’s still that last struggle with stubborn fat around the belly, love handles, thighs, or under the chin. Even with a healthy lifestyle, certain areas simply don’t respond, no matter how committed you are to your routine. That’s where a non-surgical laser treatment like SculpSure can make a difference.
At Youthful Images in Avon, CT, Dr. Patrick Felice and his team provide SculpSure treatment in a state-of-the-art environment that prioritizes comfort, safety, and results. As one of the most comprehensive aesthetic centers in Connecticut, we’re proud to offer non-invasive body contouring alongside our other popular procedures, such as Botox and laser hair removal. Every treatment is performed under the guidance of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Patrick Felice, ensuring that your customized plan is completely safe and designed for optimal results.
SculpSure is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses light-based technology to heat and destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Once those fat cells are disrupted, the body naturally eliminates them through normal metabolic processes. Because the destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, the reduction is permanent, provided you maintain a healthy diet and stable weight.
This procedure is completely safe and FDA cleared for use on the abdomen, love handles, thighs, back, and under the chin. Most patients find the process comfortable, often describing the sensation as alternating waves of warmth and cooling. Unlike surgery, there are no incisions, no scars, and no recovery time.
Patients choose SculpSure because it’s quick, effective, and fits easily into daily life. It helps rid the body of stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise and improves the overall appearance of the treated area.
Benefits include:
SculpSure can be performed on several areas where fat tends to linger. Each treatment area is carefully planned so that results look balanced and natural.
The belly is one of the most common areas where fat cells resist diet and exercise. SculpSure helps reduce fat in this central area, creating a smoother, flatter appearance.
Love handles can change the way clothing fits and affect overall body shape. A SculpSure session can slim this treated area, making the waistline more defined.
Bulges on the back are a common concern for both men and women. SculpSure targets these fat deposits to create a smoother appearance.
The thighs often store fat that doesn’t respond to exercise. SculpSure can treat both the inner and outer thighs, improving the contour and balance of the legs.
A double chin can affect confidence, even in patients at a healthy weight. SculpSure’s small applicator helps treat this area, refining the jawline without surgery.
The best candidates are patients who are already near their target weight but want to address stubborn fat deposits. SculpSure is not a weight-loss solution, but rather a way to fine-tune body shape. Ideal candidates should be in good general health and be committed to maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Sculpsure is not intended to be a weight loss treatment, and it is important to have realistic expectations for treatment.
This procedure is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or have significant skin laxity. During your consultation, Dr. Felice will review your health history to confirm if SculpSure is right for you.
SculpSure treatment is versatile and can help patients with several concerns related to stubborn fat.
Perfect for areas where fat lingers despite exercise and diet.
Helps create smoother contours and enhances the natural shape of the body.
Your first visit to Youthful Images starts with a detailed consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Felice and his team will review your concerns, assess the treatment area, and create a customized plan. You’ll learn about the process, the duration of each session, and what kind of results to expect.
No special preparation is needed, though staying hydrated and continuing a healthy diet and exercise routine can enhance results.
A typical procedure lasts about 25 minutes per treated area. After placing the applicator on the skin, the device delivers light-based energy that creates a warming sensation. The process is generally well tolerated, with most patients describing a deep warmth followed by periods of cooling. No anesthesia or numbing cream is required. Once the session is complete, you can return to work, exercise, or other activities immediately.
Most patients notice changes within six weeks as the body eliminates disrupted fat cells, with full results visible at around 12 weeks. Because the destroyed fat cells are gone permanently, the reduction is lasting.
There’s no downtime, but some patients experience temporary tingling, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area. These side effects fade quickly. Maintaining results comes down to a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise and a balanced diet will help prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.
The cost of SculpSure treatment varies depending on the treatment area, number of sessions, and the customized plan recommended by the doctor. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost breakdown and discuss what’s included, such as the procedure itself and follow-up appointments. Since every patient has unique goals, prices may vary.

Most patients say the procedure is generally well-tolerated. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a deep heat sensation as the applicator cycles, but it doesn’t hurt enough to require anesthesia.
Results appear gradually as the body naturally eliminates disrupted fat cells. Most patients begin to notice changes around 6 weeks, with optimal results at 12 weeks.
Destroyed fat cells are gone for good, so the results are permanent. That said, remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain, so maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine is key to long-term success.
There is no required downtime. Patients typically return to work, exercise, or daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur but fades quickly.
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area and your goals. Some patients achieve noticeable results after just one session, while others choose multiple sessions to enhance their appearance.
SculpSure is safe for a wide range of skin types. Because it’s a non-invasive laser treatment that targets fat cells without affecting the skin, most patients are candidates regardless of skin tone.
