Blast the fat away with TruSculpt 3D, just in time for swimsuit season
By Dr. Stefanie Christian, Timeless Laser & Skin Care
Timeless Laser and Skin Care has added TruSculpt 3D non-surgical body sculpting to its full line of aesthetic services.
TruSculpt 3D is the upgraded platform of TruSculpt and uses radio frequency to heat fat cells to cause intentional fat cell destruction. Fat cells are eliminated, which results in reduced fat circumference by an average of 24 percent in just one treatment—with minimal discomfort and a high degree of patient satisfaction. While eliminating fat, TruSculpt 3D also improves skin tone in the treatment area, thus providing both body sculpting and skin tightening.
Eighty-seven percent of women admit to being unhappy with some part of their body, and both men and women report the abdomen and love handles as the areas that bother them the most. Over the past five years, there has been increasing interest in body sculpting treatments. However, the previous technologies have all fallen short because they were limited by either the structure of the fat or by patient discomfort.
Fat cells can be destroyed by either heating or cooling them more than six degrees Celsius and maintaining that temperature for given period of time.
The most popular cooling technology, CoolSculpting, sucks the fat into a hand-piece. This treatment requires the fat to be soft and does not work for patients who have thick, fibrous fat, such as the outer thighs and certain abdominal fat. It does not work if there is too much fat or not enough fat to fill the hand piece.
TruSculpt 3D has solved this problem and can be used almost anywhere on the body where there is fat. The most common areas are the abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs and on the back. Once patients see how easy it is, they frequently add smaller areas, like bra fat, knees and arms.
The TruSculpt 3D is better than any prior radio frequency body sculpting technology because it has a different frequency that allows the fat to be heated more effectively than skin. As a result, the skin stays cooler and more comfortable than with previous heat-based technologies.
The TruSculpt 3D also has a very advanced internal temperature monitoring, which keeps the temperature uniform. This means the TruSculpt 3D gets a more effective response. More than 80 percent of study patients had a greater than 20 percent reduction in the fat thickness, as measured by ultrasound and photography.
While none of the previous body sculpting treatments made laxity worse in the treated area, TruSculpt 3D actually improves skin tone in the treatment area. It can be considered a fat reduction treatment as well as a tightening treatment for skin laxity.
With the TruSculpt 3D, we can now offer an effective body contouring treatment that can be used on almost any part of the body that has fat. The treatment has no downtime, so it can be done with complete privacy and no interruption to your schedule.
Most people only need one treatment, and the treatments are very tolerable with minimal discomfort. Patients see an average 24 percent reduction in fat circumference with the added benefit of tightening of the overlying skin.
