Some areas of stubborn fat just won’t disappear, no matter how much we diet and exercise. For years, liposuction was the main way to remove them. truSculpt 3D® offers a non-surgical option.
The truSculpt 3D® advantage
- Results can be seen after one treatment
- Treat up to 4 problem areas in one 1-hour session
- No downtime
How truSculpt 3D® works
truSculpt 3D® uses a special tool to apply controlled monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to the fat under the skin. The RF energy heats the fatty (adipose) tissue until some of its cells break down. The body then slowly clears the damaged fat cells through the liver and lymphatic system, leading to a more contoured appearance.
For effective fat reduction, truSculpt 3D® offers more patient comfort than other RF devices. It operates at a different frequency that heats the fat more deeply and at a uniform temperature, focusing heat on the fat instead of the skin. The skin does not overheat, so patients avoid the burning sensation felt with other RF devices.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the truSculpt 3D® procedure take?
The entire treatment lasts about 30 minutes to one hour, and you can sit back and relax throughout. Most people find it comfortable; you may feel deep warmth, while the applicator keeps the skin surface cool.
What areas does truSculpt 3D® treat?
truSculpt® 3D reduces fat and improves the skin’s appearance on the backs of the arms, bra line, flanks, abdomen and thighs.
How many treatments do patients need before they see results?
It takes only one session to see noticeable fat reduction and body contouring. With one truSculpt 3D® treatment, patients should see over 20% fat reduction. Patients can schedule more treatments after the first, spaced at least 6 to 8 weeks apart.
Is the truSculpt 3D® procedure painful, and are there side effects?
Most people find it comfortable. Patients usually feel a warm sensation during treatment. Afterwards, patients may have mild irritation and redness, which gradually clears up.
Is there downtime after truSculpt 3D® treatment?
No. truSculpt 3D® is non-surgical, so you can resume your daily activities right away.
What is the difference between truSculpt 3D® and CoolSculpting®?
truSculpt 3D® uses heat to reduce fat and CoolSculpting uses cold.
Both are non-invasive procedures that target and destroy specific fat cells, which the body naturally expels. truSculpt 3D® uses radiofrequency technology to heat fat cells, while CoolSculpting freezes fat cells for fat reduction and body contouring.
