Q: When will I start seeing visible results?

The energy delivered by Trusculpt triggers the body’s immune system to break down fat cells. This process takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months. You may begin to see results of your treatment anytime during that period, or even later.

Q: What happens during the treatment?

Your doctor will apply the Trusculpt hand piece to your skin and will deliver targeted pulses of appropriately calibrated RF energy. Each pulse will last on average 4 minutes. After completion, the hand piece will move to an adjacent area to begin a new pulse. The actual treatment will typically last between 15 minutes and an hour, depending on the number of pulses applied.

Q: What does it feel like?

The Radio Frequency energy will heat deep layers of the skin. However, most patients find the resulting discomfort very tolerable. Your doctor can adjust the temperature depending upon your comfort level. Typically no pain medication, topical anesthetics, gels, or active cooling will be needed.

Q: Is Trusculpt safe? Is it painful? Is there any side effects?

The Trusculpt system is designed to provide a safe and comfortable procedure. Generally, there is no downtime after the treatment. Although, some patients may experience some mild discomfort.

Your doctor will discuss what to expect during and after treatment during your consultation, and will answer any questions you may have.
