If you’re searching for how much body sculpting costs in the Portland and Vancouver metro area, you’re really asking two things: what you’ll pay per session and what you get for that investment. At SunsUp Tan & Wellness Spa, body sculpting is a non-invasive light treatment that helps reduce stubborn fat in specific areas while you relax, not while you count every calorie.
How Much Is a Body Sculpting Session?
A single Body Sculpting treatment at SunsUp Tan & Wellness Spa is $250 per session. This price is for the light-based body sculpting portion of the visit.
To complete each treatment, you’ll also do an infrared calorie-burning service right after your sculpting session. You can choose between:
- Self-Service Infrared Body Wrap – $90 per session
- Calorie Burning Body Pod – $60 per session
In practical terms, most clients spend about $310–$340 per visit, depending on which infrared option they choose along with body sculpting.
Typical Program Cost
Most people see the best results with a 4-week course of 8 sessions, done twice per week. Using single-session pricing only, a typical program looks like this:
- 8 Body Sculpting sessions at $250 each → $2,000 total
- 8 Calorie Burning Body Pod sessions at $60 each → $480 total
If you choose the Body Pod as your infrared option, that’s about $2,480 for an 8-session course at standard single-session pricing. Choosing the Infrared Body Wrap instead of the pod will increase the total, since wraps are $90 per visit.
How Points and Memberships Make Body Sculpting Cheaper
SunsUp uses a Club Points system that lets you purchase points in bulk and then redeem them for services. Body sculpting and the infrared services each have a point value:
| Service | Single-Session Price | Club Points |
| Body Sculpting | $250 | 160 points |
| Self-Service Infrared Body Wrap | $90 | 60 points |
| Calorie Burning Body Pod | $60 | 40 points |
When you buy Club Points Packages, the cost per point drops.
Club Points Packages (One-Time Purchases)
Here are the main points packages and how they work:
- Elite Level – $180 for 240 points (120 bonus) → about $0.75 per point
- Premier Level – $140 for 180 points → about $0.78 per point
- Executive Level – $100 for 120 points → about $0.83 per point
- VIP Level – $60 for 60 points → about $1 per point
Because Body Sculpting costs 160 points, using an Elite Level package can bring the effective price of one sculpting session down to roughly $120 instead of $250 (160 points x $0.75 per point). Other point levels bring the price somewhere between about $125 and $160 per session, depending on which package you buy.
In other words, buying points in bulk can cut the cost of each body sculpting session by 30–50% compared to paying the single-session price every time.
Monthly Club Memberships
There are also Club Memberships that include a set number of points each month, plus unlimited UV tanning and, at some levels, other services like red light therapy and spray tanning.
- Owners Club – $200 per month → 200 points, plus unlimited UV tanning, red light therapy, and spray tanning
- Elite Club – $140 per month → 120 points, plus unlimited UV tanning in any bed
- Premier Club – $90 per month → 60 points, plus unlimited UV tanning in VIP, Super VIP, or Bronze beds
- Executive Club – $60 per month → 40 points, plus unlimited UV tanning in VIP or Super VIP beds
- VIP Club – $30 per month → 20 points, plus unlimited UV tanning in VIP beds
Because body sculpting is 160 points per treatment, memberships are most useful when you plan to combine sculpting with other services or when you want the unlimited UV, red light therapy, or spray tan benefits. For pure price reduction on sculpting sessions, the points packages usually give the lowest effective per-session cost, while memberships add ongoing perks.
What You Get for the Price: How Body Sculpting Works
SunsUp’s body sculpting treatment uses 635 nm light pads placed directly on the skin over your target areas, such as the stomach, hips, thighs, or arms. The light helps fat cells temporarily release stored contents so your body can process them, similar to what happens when you reach the “fat-burning” phase of a good cardio workout.
The treatment is non-invasive and designed to be comfortable. There are no needles and no surgical incisions, and you can return to normal activities right after your session.
What a Typical Visit Looks Like
Each appointment combines sculpting and infrared therapy:
- Body Sculpting light treatment – about 20 minutes with paddles applied to chosen areas
- Infrared follow-up – a session in the Calorie Burning Body Pod or Self-Service Infrared Body Wrap to support calorie burn and circulation
Altogether, plan for roughly 60–90 minutes per visit. Most clients describe it as warm, relaxing, and closer to a spa experience than a medical procedure.
Is Body Sculpting a Weight Loss Treatment?
Body sculpting is best thought of as an inch-loss and contouring treatment, not as a main tool for significant weight loss.
It’s ideal if you:
- Are close to your goal weight but have stubborn areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise
- Prefer non-surgical options and minimal downtime
- Are willing to pair treatments with basic healthy habits to support your results
For large amounts of weight loss, a broader plan built around food, movement, and possibly medical support is still needed. Body sculpting is there to fine-tune your shape once you’re already doing that work.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
Most clients start with a 4-week course of 8 treatments, done twice per week. This schedule gives your body time to respond to the light while keeping momentum from session to session.
After the initial course, many people move to 2–4 maintenance sessions per month to keep their results, especially if they’re using memberships or points packages.
During your consultation, a consultant will take measurements, review your goals, and recommend a plan so you understand both how many sessions you’re likely to need and what that will cost under different pricing options.
Body Sculpting Results: What You Can Expect
With consistent sessions and follow-through on the post-treatment guidance, many clients notice:
- Inch loss around the stomach, hips, thighs, or arms
- Better-fitting clothes and a more defined midsection
- Smoother-looking areas that previously felt puffy or soft
Before-and-after photos and measurements help track changes over your 4-week course and beyond.
How Much Is Body Sculpting vs. Invasive Procedures?
Non-invasive body sculpting is often chosen by people who want visible changes without surgery. While surgical body contouring can create more dramatic one-time results, it also comes with higher costs, downtime, and medical risk.
| Feature | Non-Invasive Body Sculpting | Invasive Procedures (e.g., Liposuction) |
| Surgery Required | No | Yes |
| Downtime | Little to none | Often 1–2 weeks or more |
| Comfort | Warm, relaxing, spa-like sessions | May include discomfort, bruising, swelling |
| Risk Level | Lower risk for most healthy adults | Higher risk due to anesthesia and surgery |
| Results Timeline | Inch loss over several weeks with repeated sessions | More dramatic change after healing period |
| Cost | Approx. $2,480+ for an 8-session course at single-session pricing, often less with points packages | Usually several thousand dollars per area |
| Best For | Toning, inch loss, and stubborn fat spots | Large-volume fat removal in a single procedure |
FAQ
How much is body sculpting at SunsUp Tan & Wellness Spa?
A single body sculpting session is $250, and each visit also includes an infrared service priced at $60–$90. With a typical 8-session course, most people investing at single-session pricing spend around $2,480 or more, but bulk points packages can lower the per-session sculpting cost to about $120–$160.

Is body sculpting covered by insurance?
Body sculpting is a cosmetic and wellness treatment, so it is typically not covered by insurance. That’s why SunsUp offers multiple ways to manage the cost, including points, packages, and memberships.
How do I find out exactly what my body sculpting plan will cost?
The simplest way is to book a consultation at a SunsUp Tan & Wellness Spa location in the Portland or Vancouver metro area. You’ll review your goals, get recommendations for the number of sessions, and see how different pricing options—single sessions, points packages, and memberships—change your total investment.
