How it works
truSculpt uses innovative monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to selectively target the entire fat layer, therapeutically heating the fat using thermal energy to destroy the fat cells permanently. The damaged fat cells will pass through the body naturally over 12 weeks following the treatment.
truSculpt mainly targets stubborn excess fat present anywhere on the body but can also slightly reduce skin laxity, as the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) can stimulate collagen and elastin production to tighten the skin.
This versatile procedure can effectively treat many patients who may not be candidates for other body contouring procedures or who desire a non-surgical solution. It can be performed on all skin types and over tattoos and can treat multiple areas in just one 15-minute session, but additional treatments may be required to achieve the personalised results you desire. On average, a 24% reduction of fat can be achieved in just one treatment.
The benefits
The most apparent benefit to truSculpt is that it non-surgically targets stubborn excess fat and skin laxity present anywhere, creating a tightened, contoured effect on the body. The treatment can be completed in under 30 minutes without downtime so that regular activity can be resumed immediately afterwards. The treatment is also customised to your individual concerns and can treat hard-to-reach body areas of any size whilst handling a variety of tissue densities.
Ideal candidates for truSculpt
Because truSculpt is a customised and tailored treatment, most individuals are suitable candidates for this treatment. However, those who will benefit the most are individuals who have reached their ideal maintainable weight but still have some stubborn fat and excess skin around their bodies.
This treatment is not recommended for anyone who has a pacemaker, metal implants in the treated area, or is currently pregnant. Individuals with significant skin laxity also may not be suitable for the treatment as it may only tighten the skin slightly. A consultation with our highly qualified staff will help determine your suitability for the treatment.
What to expect
The chosen areas are marked out to prepare for the treatment, and sticky pads are placed in these areas for the truSculpt applicators to be positioned over the top. These applicators come in various sizes, including a handheld device, to thoroughly treat the targeted area. The applicators are then wrapped to ensure they remain secure during the session, after which the treatment will begin. The procedure is typically described as feeling like a hot stone massage. The applicators maintain a therapeutic temperature that will feel comfortably warm but heat the underlying fat layer to around 45 degrees to achieve programmed cell death.
Sessions typically last around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area size and the number of areas being targeted. Results may be visible after just one treatment, achieving maximum results after 12 weeks from your last session.
Things to consider
The treatment area will be warm and flushed for roughly one hour following your procedure. You may also experience mild touch sensitivity for a few days, as well as light bruising and fatigue, but you’ll be able to return to your normal activities immediately. It’s recommended that you maintain your hydration to help the fat cells eventually move through the body. It’s also important to note that while truSculpt can complement a healthy lifestyle, it’s not designed to replace a healthy diet and exercise routine.
