TruBody is a comprehensive and customizable procedure to for body remodeling to reach your ideal shape. With two platforms, iD and Flex, TruBody can reduce small and medium pockets of fat, tighten the skin, and tone muscles. TruSculpt iD is ideal for fat reduction in stubborn areas like the abdomen, inner thighs, flanks, or even under the bra and under the chin. For muscle toning, TruSculpt Flex has different modes for your ideal muscle definition. It can strengthen your body without adding bulk.
The TruSculpt iD® device is a monopolar Radio Frequency system in which electric current flows between a single electrode and a grounding point. Up to six temperature-controlled handpieces maintain the skin’s temperature between 43°C and 44°C for deep volumetric heating of the tissue, killing the underlying fat cells with RF without damaging the skin. The fat cells are destroyed and flushed out of the body naturally. While TruSculpt is a CoolSculpting alternative, it goes beyond fat loss by reducing the appearance of cellulite and tightening the targeted area’s skin for smooth, slim, firm contours.
TruSculpt Flex can tone and build a wide range of muscle groups including abs, butt, thighs, calves and arms, to name a few, to increase and sculpt muscle mass. It can also be used therapeutically to rebuild muscle after, for example, an injury. During a TruSculpt Flex body shaper treatment, similar to strength training, muscle fibers undergo trauma or microscopic tears and then the cells attempt to repair the damage, resulting in an increase in muscle strength and definition. This repair process begins after each treatment and triggers cell repair, form new blood capillaries, restore muscle fibres and manage muscle mass toning. This platform is extremely versatile; we can personalize the treatment for different fitness levels, body shapes and goals.
Areas treated for fat slim gradually as fat cells are destroyed and flushed away and new collagen develops for proper skin tightening. Most clients start to see visible results after just one fat loss treatment, with maximum results seen after 12 weeks. The number of body sculpting treatments you need for permanent fat loss will depend, of course, on how much fat you’re starting with. Clinical studies found an average of 24 % fat loss six to twelve weeks after one treatment. Additional treatments can be done after 12 weeks, if needed.
As for muscles, beyond the aesthetic appeal, patients can see increased power or improvement in sports performance. Flex can treat up to eight muscle areas at the same time during a 45-minute session. During the TruSculpt Flex treatment, a healthy adult could perform the equivalent of up to 54,000 sit-ups. It may take 4 to 16 weeks before the differences in muscle definition, size and strength are noticeable.
Most patients generally undergo 4 to 6 Flex treatments to reach their body remodelling goals.
The TruBody procedure includes the TruSculpt iD and TruSculpt Flex platforms to best remodel your body.
TruSculpt iD offers unique handpiece and placement location versatility and customized 15-minute protocols to treat a full abdomen or multiple body areas simultaneously. TruSculpt iD has six handpieces that operate in units of two; you can use two handpieces or four or all six depending on the size of the area you want to treat. Once you are comfortably reclined and the skin is cleansed, the handpieces are placed over the areas of unwanted fat. Next, RF energy is released at controlled 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 will rise but remain comfortable. It’s effective, safe, and the results are even and consistent.
Post-procedure, the treatment area will be warm and flushed for less than one hour. While you may experience mild sensitivity to the touch for a few days, you can still return to normal activities right away.
As for the body sculpting TruSculpt Flex treatment, patients experience a slight sensation of contraction in the targeted muscles and, as the intensity increases, muscle contraction intensifies but remains quite comfortable depending on how one wishes to push the treatments for optimal results.
The goal is to administer treatments at the highest possible intensity for each treatment mode that could be tolerated with minimal to moderate discomfort. Similar to iD, TruSculpt Flex consists of 16 handpieces allowing treatment of up to 8 muscle areas in one session.
TruSculpt Flex is a non-invasive body remodeling treatment that requires no recovery time and patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. After the procedure, although rare, patients can have some tingling in the treated areas for a few hours and/or mild soreness or tenderness in the muscles for up to 3 days.
Because TruBody is a customized and tailored body remodeling treatment to meet individual needs, most adult men and women are good candidates. Who doesn’t have unwanted fat? This procedure is versatile and effective to treat a wide range of patients who may not be a candidate for other body sculpting procedures due to their location, skin type and laxity, and fat thickness.
TruBody remodeling for muscle toning and building can be used for treatment for aesthetic purposes, but also for other candidates. Athletes looking to improve their performance through strength conditioning can benefit. Those in rehabilitation post injury or surgery looking to recover their muscular integrity and improve their function or simply to avoid detrimental muscle atrophy can do so via TruSculpt Flex. Finally, patients who experienced muscle mass loss either through deconditioning or because of the aging process with progressive muscle atrophy.
With that said, non-invasive body sculpting is not a complete weight loss solution; it is a body remodeling procedure. To optimize results we encourage patients to eat well and exercise.
Most adults are good candidates. Those looking for a butt lift, stronger legs, or even a slimmer looking neck cam benefit. Candidates are healthy women and men who want to improve the appearance of any of the following areas:
- Abdomen (stomach)
- Love handles
- Hips
- Knees
- Inner and outer thighs
- Under the chin and along the jawline
- Upper arms
- Back and bra line
- Glutes
- Cellulite and uneven texture around the butt
TruSculpt iD is especially effective in removing stubborn fat and is also very useful for helping women recover their silhouette post pregnancy.
While TruSculpt is not a weight loss tool, people who are overweight have achieved satisfying fat loss results with a series of treatments.
Cutera, the manufacturers of TruSculpt, describes the treatment as being like “a hot stone massage”. Some redness and sensitivity post-treatment can happen, but you can still jump right back into your normal routine immediately after you leave the doctor’s office.
If you have preexisting health conditions, or are using something like a pacemaker, TruSculpt may not be safe for you. 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.
Depending on the treatment you receive that is tailored to your ideal body, you may need maintenance. The fat removal treatment with TruSculpt iD is a permanent removal of fat cells. Diet and exercise to maintain your body is all that is needed; once the fat is removed, it is gone for good. For TruSculpt Flex treatments, patients may want to go on a maintenance program with a once a month or once every two months treatment depending on their objectives. Our muscles need to be stimulated on a consistent basis to maintain their integrity, shape and function. Thus, maintenance is needed.
