Does excess belly make you feel self-conscious? Maybe you’re struggling with stubborn fat, sagging skin, or stretch marks. Which, in all honesty, can be frustrating, especially when you eat healthy and exercise but that fat just won’t budge.

That’s where abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, can help you. This surgery can address all those concerns. It can remove excess fat, tighten up loose skin, and even minimize the appearance of stretch marks in your abdominal area.

What is truSculpt iD Fat Loss?

truSculpt iD is a revolutionary non-invasive body contouring treatment that reduces stubborn fat and improves body shape. With its monopolar radiofrequency technology, truSculpt iD precisely targets and eliminates fat cells. This treatment is perfect for anyone looking to shape up or reduce fat from different parts of the body without surgery or extensive downtime.

How truSculpt iD Works

truSculpt iD harnesses the power of monopolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat and destroy fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. This targeted heat prompts fat cells to undergo apoptosis (cell death), a natural process where your body clears away the destroyed cells over the course of about 12 weeks.

But truSculpt iD does more than just zap away fat cells – it also helps tighten and firm your skin in the treated areas. So not only will you see a reduction in fat, but you’ll also enjoy a more sculpted and toned appearance. It’s like giving your body a makeover from the inside out.

Benefits of truSculpt iD

From its versatility to its efficiency and comfort, truSculpt iD offers a range of benefits that fit perfectly with your needs and lifestyle, including:

truSculpt iD is a non-surgical procedure, meaning there are no cuts, no need for anesthesia, and you won't need much time to recover afterward.

truSculpt iD is a non-surgical procedure, meaning there are no cuts, no need for anesthesia, and you won't need much time to recover afterward.

Your truSculpt iD session can be tailored to your needs. Plus, it can target multiple areas all at once, saving you time.

Most people find truSculpt iD pretty comfortable. It's like getting a warm massage with hot stones.

Each treatment doesn't take long – just around 15 minutes for each area. So, it's perfect if you're always on the go.

Once those fat cells are gone, they're gone for good. That means you'll enjoy long-lasting results without worrying about the fat coming back.

What about Other Fat Loss Treatments?

There are other non-invasive fat-reducing treatments like Coolsculpting. This procedure uses cryolipolysis technology to freeze and get rid of stubborn fat cells. It’s great for targeting specific areas with pinchable fat. The best part is, that this procedure involves no surgery or downtime. You might start seeing some changes as early as three weeks, and in about two to three months, you’ll see the full results. CoolSculpting is a popular choice for those seeking a safe and effective way to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.

Maximizing Results with truSculpt

To make the most out of your truSculpt iD treatment, here are some helpful tips to consider:

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

Eat a balanced diet filled with fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Try to limit sugary snacks, processed foods, and unhealthy fats.
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Engage in Regular Physical Activity

Mix up your exercise routine with cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises.
Aim for around 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, along with some muscle-strengthening workouts.

Consider Lymphatic Massage

Post-treatment lymphatic massages can support your body in flushing out those fat cells.
Schedule regular sessions with a licensed massage therapist to aid in your body's detoxification and healing process.

Set Accurate Expectations

Remember, truSculpt iD isn't a weight loss solution but a way to shape and contour stubborn areas.
Results can vary, and it may take a few sessions to see your desired outcome. Discuss your goals with our board-certified plastic Surgeon, Dr. James and his team of aestheticians about your goals to ensure you're both on the same page.

Accurate Results and Expectation Setting

It’s crucial to grasp what TruSculpt iD can realistically achieve. While it’s excellent for reducing fat, it’s not a replacement for shedding pounds overall. The best candidates are typically those who are close to their desired weight but struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge despite diet and exercise efforts.

Chatting with our aesthetician is key to forming a plan that matches your expectations. By evaluating your body and understanding your goals, they’ll craft a personalized strategy and provide a clear timeline for achieving your desired outcome.

Procedure Summary

The procedure typically involves the following steps:

Consultation

During your initial consultation, talk to our aesthetician and tell them about what you want to achieve and which areas you’d like to treat.

Preparation

Before the treatment begins, our aesthetician will clean and prep the treating area. The aesthetician will then apply patches for the radio frequency and draw a guide on your body to place the truSculpt applicators correctly.

Application

The truSculpt applicators are placed on the targeted areas. They are then covered with clear plastic wraps to hold them in place

Treatment

When the treatment begins, it feels like a warm massage. The applicators heat up, but it’s generally comfortable. Some people even compare it to a mini-workout because of the way it contracts the fat underneath.

Duration

Each session lasts about 15 minutes per area.  If you’re treating a larger area, it might take a bit longer.

Post-Treatment

After the session, you can get dressed and go about your day without any downtime.
