TRUSCULPT ID

everything you need to know

We are proud to offer truSculpt® iD, a revolutionary non-surgical, body-sculpting treatment that allows you to personalize your ideal body in as little as one 15-minute treatment. truSculpt iD is a safe and effective technology that is clinically proven to permanently eliminate fat cells in stubborn areas around your abdomen and flanks. With truSculpt iD, you can get the body definition you want, even in areas that have been resistant to diet and exercise.

HOW IT WORKS

  • truSculpt iD uses innovative Monopolar RF technology to selectively target fat and therapeutically heat it – until fat cells are eliminated by passing through the body naturally.

  • Average of 24% fat reduction is achieved in just one treatment.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER BODY SCULPTING PROCEDURES?

  • This procedure is versatile and effective to treat a wide range of patients who may not be a candidate for other contouring procedures due to treatment location, skin type, fat thickness and presence of skin laxity.

  • The treatment has minimal discomfort and has been compared to a hot stone massage.

  • There is no visible downtime after the procedure and normal activity can be resumed immediately.

  • The treatment time is dependent on the treatment size and how many areas are treated. Treatment time is typically 15 to 30 minutes to treat the abdomen and flanks.

  • Typically, only 1 treatment is needed. Maximum results are visible after 12 weeks. Additional treatments may be required to achieve the personalized results you desire

TruSculpt iD is a state-of-the-art, radiofrequency-energy based treatment that permanently reduces fat. This truly innovative system provides a non-invasive, comfortable heat treatment that is uniquely customizable and highly effective in permanently removing fat. A welcome benefit is that it also has the potential to induce skin tightening simultaneously. The truSculpt iD system is a great option for both men and women of any shape or body size.

PRE & POST TREATMENT

ONE MONTH BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT:

  • Discontinue sunless tanners in the area to be treated.

ON THE DAY OF YOUR TREATMENT:

  • The area to be treated and upper back need to be free of hair so that truSculpt iD pads have good contact with your skin. If you are unable to shave or remove hair from the upper back, we can do this at your appointment.

  • Do not apply creams, lotions or powders to the area to be treated and upper back; these areas should be clean and dry.

  • Do not apply any numbing medications. They are unnecessary and could compromise the safety and effectiveness of your treatment.

  • Drink plenty of fluids & eat prior to your appointment to optimize your treatment.

  • Jewelry/body piercings may need to be removed if under/near the treatment area. Please notify clinic of any changes to your health or medications since your last visit.

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT:

  • Redness and swelling may occur and typically resolve within a few hours to days.

  • Palpable nodules that are tender to touch or lumps in the treatment area may develop in the treated area up to 72 hours following treatment and typically resolve over several weeks. Gently massage the nodules for 2-5 minutes twice daily to hasten their resolution.

  • Apply Alastin TransForm twice daily to treatment areas to further enhance the effects of your treatment (optional).

  • Notify clinic if any of the following occur:

  • Blister, crusting or skin burns

  • Tenderness, redness or swelling persisting longer than a few days

  • Nodules that are tender or lumps in the treatment area that last longer than 4 weeks.

Fat cell destruction occurs slowly over the next 3 months. During this period, if you are able to avoid or minimize anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), aspirin, etc., you will optimize your results (optional). Those who need to take these still achieve excellent responses. (Consult your health care provider prior to discontinuing these medications.) A healthy diet further improves results.

Multiple treatments may be required to achieve your desired cosmetic goal.

TRUSCULPT ID VS COOLSCULPTING

  • CoolSculpting uses cooling to freeze and kill fat cells, TruSculpt uses heating to heat and kill fat cells

  • CoolSculpting cannot target a specific area, and fat reduction may be uneven, TruSculpt targets very specific areas of fat, and as such is also a contouring device (achieve specific and desired results instead of aiming in the dark, so to speak)

  • CoolSculpting is a 45 minute procedure and may require multiple treatments, TruSculpt is a single 15 minute procedure and eliminates up to 24% of fat

  • CoolSculpting is not painful, although there can be some discomfort or numbness days after the treatment, TruSculpt is also not painful, and you may only experience some redness for about 1 hour after the treatment

  • CoolSculpting doesn’t treat cellulite or the extra skin leftover if you achieve fat elimination, TruSculpt reduces cellulite and tightens the skin that’s left over from fat reduction

Which is Better: CoolSculpting or TruSculpt?

CoolSculpting is over 10 years old and the technology has not changed much in that time. TruSculpt, and specifically trusculpt at Venustas Immortalis, is the latest body contouring technology available on the market. TruSculpt technology is far superior, the benefits are much greater, and the patient satisfaction far exceeds that of CoolSculpting.
