truBody Frequently Asked Questions

• What is truBody?

  truBody is a comprehensive body contouring system that combines truSculpt and truFlex technologies to help you lose fat and gain muscle.

  

• What conditions can truBody treat?

  truBody can effectively address a variety of concerns, including:

  • Lower belly “pooch”

  • Hard-to-lose fat in the stomach area

  • "Muffin top" around the waistline (love handles)

  • Skin laxity in the abdomen

  • Double chin (submental fat)

  • Back fat

  • Excessive thigh fat

• What are the pros and cons of truBody?

  Pros: Studies show that truBody treatments can result in an average 24% reduction in fat and a 33% increase in muscle mass. The procedure is non-invasive, comes with no downtime, and has no serious side effects. truFlex’s intensity can be customized over time to match your fitness level, offering buildable, personalized muscle-sculpting results.

  Cons: Multiple sessions (typically 4-6) are often required for optimal results. The truBody system should be paired with a healthy lifestyle to maintain results, as the fat reduction process is not immediate and may take up to 12 weeks. Maintenance treatments may be necessary every 1-3 months to preserve muscle-building results. In cases of excessive loose skin, surgical intervention may be recommended.

• What happens during a truBody procedure?

  A typical truBody session takes about 60-90 minutes. It begins with a thorough consultation, history review, and photos. The session starts with a 15-minute truSculpt treatment, during which handpieces are placed on the target areas. The RF energy heats the fat cells, with most patients describing the sensation as similar to a hot-stone massage. Following truSculpt, truFlex is used to stimulate muscle contractions, building muscle mass and increasing your basal metabolic rate (BMR). You can resume normal activities immediately after the session.

• What are the side effects of truBody?

  There is no downtime following truBody treatment, but you may experience warmth and redness in the treated area for about an hour. Mild tingling and muscle soreness may occur, similar to the sensation after a strenuous workout, and should subside within 72 hours. Staying hydrated after your session is important to help your body process the eliminated fat cells.

• How long does it take to see truBody results?

  Results typically become visible 3-4 months post-treatment, as your body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells and your new muscle mass builds up. For the best results, a minimum of 1 truSculpt and 4 truFlex sessions is recommended.

• Is truBody permanent?

  truSculpt permanently destroys fat cells, so fat reduction results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight. However, remaining fat cells may expand if you gain weight. Regular strength training and a healthy diet can prolong the benefits of truFlex, though maintenance treatments may be required every 1-3 months to preserve muscle mass and strength.

• Can truSculpt tighten skin?

  Yes, truSculpt’s RF technology not only melts fat cells but also tightens the skin. Significant skin tightening is often noticed in the weeks and months following treatment. However, for large amounts of loose skin, surgical options may be necessary.

• Does truSculpt help with cellulite?

  Yes, truSculpt can reduce the appearance of cellulite through its combination of fat reduction and skin tightening effects.

• Where does the fat go after truBody treatment?

  The fat cells destroyed by truSculpt are eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over a 3-4 month period.
