TruSculpt Flex is a device that administers multidirectional electrical currents to stimulate contractions in muscular groups using three treatment mode options, covering the largest treatment area in the body sculpting/bodybuilding industry.
During traditional strength training, the brain sends a signal to the nervous system and motor neurons to contract skeletal muscle voluntarily. During a TruSculpt Flex treatment, the process bypasses the brain, and instead, the device sends an electrical signal to the handpiece pads which are placed directly above the muscles that you want to stimulate.
After the age of 30, inactive individuals can lose as much as 3-8% muscle mass per decade. This happens when the protein in muscle breaks down faster than it is being built through the process of protein synthesis. Bodybuilding through strength and resistance training is traditionally the most effective method to avoid or reverse this process. A new approach to achieve amazing results in bodybuilding can be accomplished with TruSculpt Flex.
During a truSculpt flex bodybuilding treatment, similar to strength training, muscle fibers undergo trauma or microscopic tears, and then cells attempt to repair the damage which results in increasing muscle size, strength and definition. This repair process, known as hypertrophy, begins after each treatment and involves releasing hormones, such as testosterone and growth hormone, to activate cell recovery, form new blood capillaries, repair muscle fibers, and manage the gain in muscle mass.
Here are some distinguishing features of TruSculpt Flex:
- Fast – Up to eight areas can be treated in each 45-minute session.
- Safe – The unique truControl technology provides safe and consistent results through targeted, selective, and customizable delivery with less energy needed.
- Effective – Three treatment mode options are available to customize the results to each patient’s goals (prep, tone and sculpt).
- Muscle thickness increase – Clinical studies have shown an average of 30% increase in muscle mass.
- Versatile – Best of all, we can personalize the bodybuilding treatment for different fitness levels, body shapes and goals.
If you want to reshape or redesign your body contour for aesthetic reasons, TruSculpt Flex can easily help you do that; and if you want to increase your strength or improve your athletic performances, TruSculpt Flex can also help you do that.
TruSculpt Flex is the only body shaper machine in the world where up to eight muscle areas can be treated at the same time in one 45-minute session. Remarkable results can be achieved with as little as 4-6 treatments. Additional treatments may be required to achieve the personalized body sculpting results you desire.
A fit adult could perform up to 100 crunches on his own before reaching a point of exhaustion because of lactic acid build-up. However, due to the aerobic nature of a TruSculpt flex treatment, lactic acid build-up does not occur. Therefore, during a 45-minute TruSculpt Flex bodybuilding treatment, a fit adult could perform the equivalent of up to 54,000 crunches which is a feat that no human being can achieve on his own.
Building muscle is not an instant process. There may be immediate swelling of the muscles after a TruSculpt Flex session, as well as changes at a microscopic level. However, observable results take time. The body needs to repair, build and increase muscle size over several weeks. It can take 4-16 weeks to see marked visible differences in the definition, size and strength of muscles. Some individuals may see results sooner than others and there are many reasons for that. Age, sex, diet, previous exercise experience or current fitness level, physiological potential/genetics, amount of adipose tissue on top of the muscle, and proper rest are some of the factors that contribute to how rapidly the muscles will respond.
As the bodybuilding treatment begins, patients feel a gentle contraction sensation in the muscles targeted and, as the intensity gradually increases, the muscle contraction intensifies but remains fairly comfortable depending on how you would like to push the body sculpting treatments for optimal results.
The goal is for treatments to be given at the highest intensity setting for each treatment mode that could be tolerated with minimal to moderate discomfort.
TruSculpt Flex includes 16 handpieces to allow up to 8 muscle areas to be treated simultaneously. The device is pre-programmed with three treatment modes, Prep, Tone and Sculpt, that offer five different contraction sequences to simulate a traditional workout at an accelerated intensity and an increase to the basal metabolic rate. Moreover, TruSculpt Flex can make muscles twist and turn providing different types of torsional contractions by changing the polarity of the electrodes in real-time. This simulation continually confuses and challenges the muscle at an intensity and duration that is beyond the level that can be achieved by any human being during regular bodybuilding exercise.
TruSculpt Flex is a non-invasive body shaper device that requires no recovery time, and patients are able to immediately return to normal activities after the treatment. Post-procedure, patients may notice tingling in the areas treated for up to a few hours and/or slight muscle soreness or tenderness for 24-72 hours.
Here are the 4 main categories of people that can benefit from truSculpt flex treatments:
- Men and women who are looking to improve or reshape their body contour by building, toning and sculpting their muscle mass.
- Men and women who are looking to improve their athletic performances through strength conditioning with more power output and more resistance.
- Men and women who are in rehabilitation post injury or surgery looking to recover their muscle tone and improve their function or simply to avoid detrimental muscle atrophy.
- Men and women who have lost their muscle tone and mass either through deconditioning or because of the aging process with progressive muscle atrophy.
During your consultation, our doctor will discuss with you if you are a good candidate based on your health, medical history and objectives. Our doctor will design a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals whether your purpose to build muscle is to improve aesthetically your physique or to improve your athletic performances. Our doctor will also follow you until you have reached your goals.
TruSculpt Flex can be used to treat most main skeletal muscles of the body. Whether you want to develop a 6 pack, sculpt your arms or develop big biceps and triceps or enhance your butt … TruSculpt Flex can do it all.
The indications are for increasing strength and toning of the abdominal muscles and obliques as well as the muscles of the buttocks( gluteus maximus and medius) and hamstrings. Off label treatments have been performed successfully on other muscle groups such as the: biceps, triceps, deltoids, quadriceps and calves muscles amongst others.
Since with TruSculpt Flex you can treat 8 muscle areas during the same bodybuilding treatment session, you can really apply yourself to redesign your body and finally get the body shape you have always dreamed of.
TruSculpt Flex is non-invasive, requires no recovery time, and patients are able to immediately return to normal activities after the treatment. Post-procedure, patients may notice tingling in the areas treated for up to a few hours and/or slight muscle soreness or tenderness for 24-72 hours. Other than occasional transient erythema (redness of the skin), self-resolving within several hours, there are no unexpected or serious treatment side effects.
Contraindications to the TruSculpt Flex include cardiac pacemaker, known myocardial arrhythmia, swollen, infected, or inflamed skin, or active cancer. Additionally, patients are excluded if they have any metal implant in the area to be treated; skin abnormality; history of seizure disorder or epilepsy, or pregnancy.
Our muscles need to be stimulated on a consistent basis to maintain their integrity, shape and function.
After your initial 4-6 treatments which should be sufficient to reach your bodybuilding goals, you can go on a maintenance program with a once a month or once every two months treatment depending on your objectives.

TruSculpt Flex vs EMSCULPT
The mechanisms of TruSculpt flex are similar to those used by EMSCULPT, with both technologies inducing muscle contractions through external stimulations. However, TruSculpt Flex has the distinct advantage of specificity, flexibility and power. While technologies like EMSCULPT use electromagnetic stimulation to build muscle, the TruSculpt Flex device utilizes electrical stimulation, which can be delivered to specific muscles by the placement of individual handpieces. In contrast, the EMSCULPT machine does not offer a controlled, focal stimulus and subsequently cannot provide equally accurate or targeted treatment or results. Additionally, with the ability to address up to eight areas simultaneously, TruSculpt flex offers enhanced body coverage, compared to the maximum of two muscle areas covered by EMSCULPT’s electromagnetic stimulation. Finally, TruSculpt Flex is 3,5 times more powerful than EMSCULPT allowing you to continuously improve rather than reaching too quickly a plateau.
