How it works
TruBody combines two different technologies, truSculpt and truFlex, to provide comprehensive body contouring and toning:
TruSculpt
TruSculpt is a non-invasive fat reduction technology that uses radiofrequency energy to target and destroy fat cells in the treated area. During treatment, a handheld device is placed on the skin, and radiofrequency energy is delivered to the underlying fat cells. This causes the fat cells to heat up and break apart, which are then naturally eliminated from the body over time.
TruFlex
TruFlex is a muscle sculpting technology that uses electrical muscle stimulation to contract and tone muscles in the targeted area. During the treatment, small electrodes are placed on the skin, and low-level electrical currents are delivered to the muscles, causing them to contract and relax. This helps to tone and strengthen the muscles in the treated area, resulting in a more defined and sculpted appearance.
Combining TruSculpt and TruFlex allows patients to target both muscles and fat in the same treatment session. This helps to achieve a more comprehensive body contouring and toning result, as the muscles become more defined and the fat layer becomes thinner.
Multiple treatment sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results, and the number of sessions required will vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and treatment goals.
The benefits
TruBody can offer the following benefits:
Ideal candidates for truBody
TruBody is a highly customisable treatment, making it suitable for most individuals. However, those who may benefit the most are those who have achieved their ideal weight but still have some stubborn fat and excess skin in certain areas. Patients who have a pacemaker, metal implants in the treated area, or are currently pregnant should not undergo this treatment. Additionally, those with significant skin laxity may find it more difficult to achieve their desired results as the treatment may only provide slight skin tightening. Although the treatment can be ideal for strengthening the core and muscles, leading to increased physical activity, truBody may also be used therapeutically for those with back or knee issues due to injury or chronic pain.
Ultimately, your suitability for the treatment will be determined based on your health and medical history during a consultation with our provider.
What to expect
Before your treatment begins, your provider will prepare the treatment area by cleansing and marking the area to be treated. They may apply a gel to the skin to help with the delivery of radiofrequency energy or attach electrodes for muscle sculpting.
The treatment can typically take around 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. During this time, you will either lie down or sit comfortably while the handheld device is placed on the treatment area. The device will deliver radiofrequency energy or electrical muscle stimulation, which may cause a warming or tingling sensation. Some patient’s describe the sensation as similar to a hot stone massage.
TruBody is non-invasive and does not require any downtime, allowing you to resume your daily routine as normal. Depending on your individual needs and goals, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended to achieve the best results.
Things to consider
After the procedure, you may feel warmth and notice flushing in the treated area, which typically lasts for around an hour. Mild touch sensitivity, light bruising, and fatigue may also be experienced for a few days, but you can resume your normal activities immediately. It’s essential to stay hydrated to help the body eliminate fat cells.
For the muscle contracting component of the treatment, you may experience random muscle contractions, muscle fatigue or soreness, increased hunger or frequent urination. These side effects are normal and should subside within a few days after treatment.
It’s worth noting that while truBody can enhance a healthy lifestyle, it should not be considered a substitute for a balanced diet and regular exercise routine.
