The American ‘need for speed’ trend in cosmetic procedures hits Australian shores

The latest fat reduction laser treatment to arrive in Australia, also known as ‘body contouring’ – which is setting a new trend in speedy cosmetic procedures for time poor consumers – is now available at a boutique clinic in Melbourne.

Leading beauty and anti-ageing skin clinic, Ozmedica, is now offering SculpSure – and is one of only three clinics in Melbourne to provide this non-invasive lipolysis, state-of-the-art technology.

SculpSure is the world’s first FDA approved, TGA listed non-invasive fat reduction alternative to other extreme and costly fat-reduction procedures.  The SculpSure treatment targets stubborn fat in problem areas and is capable of destroying 24% of treated fat cells without surgery.

Ozmedica Clinician, Amelia Trayhurn, says that convenience and recovery time are often areas of concern amongst patients undergoing cosmetic procedures but SculpSure is setting a new trend in speed.


“We’re really excited and privileged to be one of only three clinics in Melbourne to offer SculpSure.  This revolutionary treatment is a great and effective non-surgical fat reduction alternative– undergoing surgery for fat reduction treatment is not for everyone.  However, with SculpSure, people now have the option to choose a treatment that has no recovery time and is very quick.  People can have the treatment on their lunch break and return to work immediately after!


“The procedure lasts for 25 minutes and can destroy up to 24% of treated fat cells and the great thing is, people can see results after only one treatment,” added Amelia.


Amelia says it’s very important that patients understand that SculpSure is a not a weight-loss treatment and won’t deliver miracles overnight.

“When people make the decision to undergo a fat reduction treatment, it’s not a decision that’s taken lightly and is often the result of a patient feeling unhappy with their body, that has culminated over a number of months.  It’s only natural that patients want to see miracle results overnight but we always stress that there’s a difference between weight loss and fat reduction – SculpSure will reduce stubborn fat and aid weight loss when other factors such as a healthy diet and exercise are incorporated into the journey.”


The treatment works by placing up to four flat, non-suction applicators on the skin, that utilise controlled, light based technology which targets and permanently destroys stubborn fat cells.  Most patients can expect to feel a tingling sensation intermittently throughout the treatment, which is generally well tolerated.

As well as SculpSure, Ozmedica also offers an array of beauty and anti-ageing skin treatments, including; acne treatment, chemical peels, dermasweep, microdermabrasion and skin rejuvenation, amongst others.
