truSculpt iD is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment used to reduce localized fat without surgery.
At Luminary Health, truSculpt-certified professionals develop individualized plans and perform treatment based on your body-contouring goals.
truSculpt iD may be appropriate if you want to reduce localized fat that persists despite diet and exercise. Treatment areas include the abdomen and flanks, commonly called love handles. Other areas may be considered with provider approval.
truSculpt iD uses monopolar radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat to fat beneath the skin. This heat damages some of the fat cells in the treated area, causing them to die. Over the following weeks, the body breaks down and clears the damaged cells, gradually reducing the fat layer in the treated area.
Before and after 1st truSculpt treatment.
The device monitors skin temperature and adjusts its energy output to limit surface heating. Cutera describes skin temperatures of about 43–45°C while the fat beneath reaches approximately 46–48°C. This controlled difference is intended to damage fat cells while protecting the skin, although burns remain a possible complication.
The fat cells destroyed by treatment are permanently removed. Remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the result.
Treatment can take as little as 15 minutes per area. Most people can return to their usual activities afterwards, following their provider’s advice.
Results are commonly assessed around 12 weeks after treatment. The timing and degree of improvement vary from person to person.
Additional sessions may be appropriate, depending on the area being treated and individual response.
To explore whether truSculpt iD is appropriate, request a consultation with the Luminary Health team to discuss your body-contouring goals.
