truSculpt

How it works

truSculpt is a body contouring device made by Cutera that uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat the subcutaneous fat layer. The heat is intended to damage some fat cells, which the body then clears gradually. Treatment is delivered through applicators that are held on the skin for set periods. Results vary, and it is not a weight-loss method.

Good to know

• Ask which area and applicator are planned and how many sessions are suggested.
• Clarify how temperature and skin comfort are monitored.
• Discuss realistic expectations and the importance of stable body weight.
• Warmth, redness, and tenderness are common; burns, nodules, and uneven contour are uncommon but possible.

Checking a truSculpt treatment before you book

Body contouring claims can be dramatic, so ask the doctor how change is measured and what a typical outcome looks like for someone in your situation. Photographs and measurements before and after are one way to track progress.

Confirm whether the quote lists the number of sessions and areas, and whether touch-ups are included. This helps you compare against a clinic recommending a different plan.
