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. Plus, it can help you achieve that sculpted stomach you’ve been dreaming of.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.

To make the most out of your truSculpt iD treatment, here are some helpful tips to consider:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The procedure typically involves the following steps:
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.
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.
The truSculpt applicators are placed on the targeted areas. They are then covered with clear plastic wraps to hold them in place
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.
Each session lasts about 15 minutes per area. If you’re treating a larger area, it might take a bit longer.
After the session, you can get dressed and go about your day without any downtime.
