Lose weight fast vs non-invasive smart “liposuction”

Surgery, like liposuction, can give you definitive results with body contouring, but is quite invasive, risky, requires significant downtime and does not fix the laxity of the skin overlying the fat that has been taken out. 

TruSculpt iD provides a safe, effective, non-invasive fat removal for body contouring, in which unwanted excess fat pockets or bulges are removed while, at the same time, addressing gradual skin tightening. 

The TruSculpt iD system is a monopolar Radio Frequency technology in which electric current flows between a handpiece and a grounding point. Up to six temperature-controlled handpieces maintain the skin surface temperature between 43°C and 44°C while inducing deep volumetric heating of the tissue, destroying the underlying fat cells without damaging the skin. The fat cells are eliminated naturally  by passing through the lymphatic system of the body.

Contrary to CoolSculpting, TruSculpt iD not only eliminates fat deposits, but goes beyond by tightening the overlying skin for smooth, slim, firm contours. 

Here are some distinguishing features of TruSculpt iD:

• Unique approach to firm up the skin overlying fat lumps
• Sculpt challenging areas for fat loss
• Multiple treatment zones at the same time for permanent fat destruction
• Well tolerated with no anesthesia needed
• Even and smooth results
• Fast with no downtime

Treated areas slim down gradually as fat cells are eliminated and disposed naturally and new collagen is synthesized to tighten the skin. Most patients start to see significant results after just one fat loss treatment, with maximum results setting in after 12 weeks. The number of body sculpting treatments you need for permanent fat destruction will depend primarily on how much fat you’re starting with. Clinical studies report an average of 24 % fat loss 6-12 weeks after just one treatment. Subsequent treatments can be performed after 12 weeks, if needed.

TruSculpt iD’s non invasive fat removal technology has the distinct advantage of destroying fat lumps, while also tightening the overlying skin. Thus, it can produce body sculpting and smoothing effects, in addition to fat loss.

On average, most patients need 1-2 treatments to reach their fat removal goals.

TruSculpt iD  provides a unique set of handpieces and placement location versatility. It only takes 15-minutes to treat a full abdomen or multiple body areas simultaneously. TruSculpt iD consists of six handpieces that function in units of two; you can use 2 handpieces or 4 or all 6 depending on the size of the area you want to treat. Once you are comfortably lying down and the skin is prepped, the handpieces are placed over the areas of unwanted fat. Next, radio frequency energy is deployed at controlled temperature levels for 15 minutes. 

When the radiofrequency waves are activated, you will feel a warming sensation. This is the feeling of your fat cells absorbing the heat energy which feels like a hot stone massage(i.e. the feeling of fat melting). During this body sculpting treatment, the temperature of your skin and the underlying fat will rise but remain comfortable. It’s safe, effective and the results are even and consistent. 

Post-procedure, the area treated will feel warm and flushed for less than one hour. While you may experience some mild sensitivity to the touch for a 1-2 days, you’ll be able to immediately return to normal activities and exercise. 

Pretty much, all of us have have some fat lumps to remove, even those if us who exercise regularly and eat properly.

Because truSculpt iD is a customized and tailored body sculpting treatment to meet individual needs, most adult men and women are good candidates.  This procedure is versatile and effective to treat a wide range of patients who may not be a candidate for other contouring procedures due to treatment location, skin type, fat thickness and presence of skin laxity.

With that said, non-invasive body sculpting is not a weight loss solution for obese men who are not regularly exercising and eating well. It is for targeting ‘stubborn’ fat – the kind that no amount of healthy exercise and dieting will fix.

The makers of TruSculpt iD describe this body contouring treatment as being like “a hot stone massage”, however, a little redness and sensitivity in the area post-treatment can happen, however, you can jump right back into your normal routine, including exercise, immediately after you leave the doctor’s office.

If you have preexisting health conditions, or are using something like a pacemaker, TruSculpt iD may not be safe for you.

There is no maintenance needed after TruSculpt iD treatments other than looking after yourself with a proper diet and exercise regimen, in the sense that the fat lumps treated are destroyed and gone for good.

TruSculpt iD vs CoolSculpting:

The TruSculpt iD treatment is similar in some ways to CoolSculpting, which freezes fat cells to destroy them, in terms of the results and ideal candidates. Both treatments claim total fat reduction of about 25 percent in the treatment areas, so they’re likely both better choices for areas that have more fat.

Both machines are used as liposuction alternatives. However, they differ in multiple ways:

1. The technology used to destroy the fat cells.
2. The patient’s experience while being treated.
3. The tightening of the overlying skin.
4. The number of areas treated at the same time.
5. The placement of the hand pieces.

TruSculpt iD uses radio frequency technology to heat and kill the fat cells under the skin’s surface, while still keeping the skin’s top layer at a warm temperature. In general, the sensation is warm, but not burning hot. It is closer to so-called “laser lipo” in that way.

CoolSculpting uses a fat freezing technology to get rid of the body fat. The sensation is of a deep cold.

Both fat loss technologies require a period of time after treatment sessions for the fat cells to be removed from the body (around 12 weeks). And, both cause permanent destruction and removal of the fat cells that have been targeted.

The other big difference is in the practical application of the machines on the body during treatment sessions. CoolSculpting requires that fat be placed between two panels. This can be awkward for curved areas, or small and hard-to-reach areas. It can also be impossible if the fat is not squeezable. And, some argue the results are thus less even and smooth, since the machine can’t glide across the contours of the body.

Body sculpting using TruSculpt iD can be done in just 15 minutes with multiple treatment areas at the same time. CoolSculpting, however, can take up to 45 minutes per area per session, multiplied by each area where you want to lose fat.

However, the biggest difference is that CoolSculpting does not tighten the overlying skin. What good is it to invest in getting rid of a lump of fat if the overlying skin is not tightened?
