How it works
truFlex uses a unique Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) technology with electrical muscle stimulation to deliver up to 54,000 muscle contractions per session and simultaneously target eight different areas.
The treatment options include:
This mode is designed to slowly build a tolerance to muscle contractions by creating a slow, twisting motion that warms up and stretches the muscles. It’s best suited to individuals recovering from injuries or with a low fitness level.
Tone mode replicates exercises that increase core strength and muscle endurance, contracting the muscles to exhaustion and then relaxing them. Individuals who are fit and frequently exercise may start with this mode first before progressing to the next mode.
This intense mode is designed to break down and rebuild muscle fibres to increase muscle mass using fast, concentrated successive contractions.
Suitable modes and the treatment progression will depend on your tolerance level to the muscle contractions, and our highly trained staff will make sure your discomfort is monitored and minimised.
Clinical studies have shown that truFlex patients can experience a 30% increase in muscle mass. These remarkable results may be achieved in as little as four treatments, but additional treatments might be required to achieve the personalised results you desire. Treatments should be performed twice weekly to experience optimal results.

Ideal candidates for truFlex
Healthy individuals can benefit from truFlex treatments and will see the best results with this treatment. It can also be used therapeutically for individuals suffering from back or knee issues caused by injury or chronic pain. It’s an ideal treatment for building your core or muscles and can help you become more physically active.
Our provider will discuss if you are a candidate based on your health and medical history during your consultation.
What to expect
Before treatment, it is recommended that you shave any hair present from the treatment areas, ensure you’re well-hydrated, and avoid intense physical exercise for 12 hours before your session.
To start the treatment, your clinician will place sticky gel pads over the selected muscle areas and apply electrodes to the pads. As the treatment begins, you will feel gentle muscle contraction sensations that slowly increase in intensity, depending on your selected treatment mode. Patients generally report mild to moderate discomfort during truFlex treatment, which is monitored to ensure you are as comfortable as possible during the session.
truFlex is non-invasive, requires no recovery time, and you’ll be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Things to consider
It’s essential to have a consultation with our staff so that they can assess if you’re suitable for truFlex as certain conditions may prevent you from treatment, including:
- Electrical device implants such as pacemakers and defibrillators
- Epilepsy
- Hernia present in the treatment area
- Cardiac arrhythmias
After your truFlex treatment, it’s normal to experience the following:
- Random muscle contractions
- Slight temporary pinkness of the skin
- Temporary tingling or numbing sensation for a few hours in the treated areas
- Minor muscle fatigue or soreness for up to three days – like the feeling of having had a long-overdue intense workout
- Increased hunger due to heightened metabolic rate – be aware of this and prevent overeating
- Thirst – drink lots of water
- Frequent urination or bowel movements
These are normal post-treatment experiences for individuals and should last a few days, but if any of these symptoms persist or further issues arise, please contact our clinic.
