truSculpt

What is truSculpt?

The revolutionary, non-invasive, monopolar radio frequency body sculpting platform offers a personalized solution with an optimal experience and proven results in as little as one 15-minute, hands-free treatment.

truSculpt uses radio frequency to gently heat the fat for the proper amount of time to cause apoptosis or cell death. (This is exactly what CoolSculpting does by freezing the cells). The difference is that it is a square panel rather than a specifically shaped vacuum applicator.

​​​​​​​The panels can be applied in any manner and it works well if someone has a surgical scar, larger BMI, or loose tissue. Heating the dermis stimulates collagen formation so you allow more skin tightening with this procedure in some cases than you do with CoolSculpting. Because the applicators are small squares that simply come into contact with the skin rather than hold the skin in a vacuum, we are able to treat many different areas and shapes and over surgical scars.

On average, studies show an average of 24% fat reduction. Fat loss is permanent – the cells that are eliminated do not return, although you can still fill the remaining fat cells up!

What can truSculpt treat?

truSculpt can effectively treat several areas of the body such as abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, back and chin with more flexibility with patient size and shape.

This treatment is also safe to treat over tattoos and skin with darker pigmentation as well as skin with laxity.

What to Expect

truSculpt treatment involves the use of handheld devices that emit radiofrequency energy and provides no placement limitations. The treatment areas are covered with Tegaderm to protect the skin and 1 to 6 applicators will be applied.

The applicators alternatively cycle through at an increasingly faster rate as it gradually increases the temperature. Dr. Woon and the truSculpt machine constantly monitor the skin temperature. Each area of treatment only takes 15 minutes and you can have several areas treated in one day. The treatment feels like a hot stone treatment and just when you think it might be getting a little too hot the treatment is over.

After the treatment, most people have no discomfort at all but you can have some superficial soreness. Typically, normal activities can resume immediately. Some people may experience mild redness or swelling, but this typically subsides quickly.

You might begin to see results in 6 weeks but the majority of the fat loss occurs within 90 days, and studies show that half of the total fat loss occurs in the last month. You will come in for post treatment photos and to review if we have achieved your desired goal or determine if more treatment is recommended.

Recommended Treatment Duration

Each session typically lasts between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Treatment duration will vary depending on intended results and goals.

From Dr. Cybele Woon

“I love my CoolSculpting machines but also realized that one procedure does not fit all patients. Adding truSculpt has allowed me more flexibility to treat a much wider range of patients. I can treat people with a higher BMI, more atypical body shapes (with surgical scars) and the truSculpt applicators allow more flexible placement options and can produce a little more skin tightening in some areas than Coolsculpting. . A combination procedure is sometimes indicated, following a Coolsculpting session with truSculpt. It’s incredible for us to have these choices for noninvasive body sculpting!”
