truSculpt 3D is a new, nonsurgical radio frequency device designed to sculpt and contour the body.
Ideal patients typically have a BMI of less than 30. Dr. Kurtzman can discuss with you whether you are a good candidate for truSculpt 3D.
The length of your procedure will depend on which areas you are having treated. As a gauge, it usually takes about 1 hour to treat the abdomen and both flanks (love handles).
You should see results after one treatment, although some patients choose to have a second treatment for final tweaks or to treat additional areas.
Patients tell us that the procedure feels like a hot stone massage. Your provider will gently glide the handpiece over the treatment area and the temperature of the skin will rise but should remain comfortable for the duration of the treatment.
No. This is a noninvasive procedure and you will be able to resume your normal activities right after the treatment. You may feel some tenderness in the treatment area right after the treatment but that will go away within a day or two.
You will not experience any side effects except for the slight tenderness mentioned above.
Right after the treatment, your body will start to break down and flush out the remnants of the fat cells that have been treated, which begins the reduction in the treated area’s circumference. Every body is different, but most people see noticeable results 6 to 8 weeks after being treated.
