What is truSculpt iD?
truSculpt iD is an FDA-cleared nonsurgical body contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to destroy fat cells. It can sculpt and contour your body without injections, incisions, or surgery.
truSculpt iD Treatment Areas
Treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Submental area (under the chin)
truSculpt iD may also be effective in other parts of the body. If you have unwanted fat in a specific area not mentioned here, ask your Cedar Grove Aesthetics specialist about the treatment possibilities. We're glad to tailor a body sculpting plan for your needs.
How Does truSculpt iD Work?
truSculpt iD uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat and destroy fat cells selectively. At a certain temperature, the fat cells undergo apoptosis (cellular death.) Your body flushes the fat out through its lymphatic system over time.
trusculpt iD uses proprietary treatment applicators that deliver RF energy directly into the fat while keeping the skin's surface cool and comfortable. The devices also feature real-time temperature monitoring, ensuring the treatment is safe and effective.
Depending on the treatment area, your specialist either moves a handheld device in circles or you lie flat while they affix the device to your abdomen. The treatment usually takes 15-60 minutes, varying with the size of the treatment area and how many places you're treating.
What to Expect and How to Prepare for truSculpt iD
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation to determine the best course of treatment. Your specialist discusses your goals and assesses the areas of concern.
- Hydrate: Drink lots of water before the treatment. This helps to improve lymphatic drainage and flush out toxins from the body.
- Avoid Certain Medications: Avoid taking any medications that thin your blood, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least a week before the treatment, based on Dr. Rudd's recommendations.
- Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least a day ahead of your treatment. These substances can dehydrate the body and make the skin more sensitive.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the treatment appointment that allows easy access to the treated areas.
- Don't Apply Lotion or Creams: Avoid applying lotions, creams, or oils to the treated areas on the day of the appointment. The skin should be clean and dry.
- Have Realistic Expectations: Understand that trusculpt iD is a noninvasive treatment that works gradually.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is truSculpt iD?
truSculpt iD allows you to target stubborn fat pockets and shape your body in sessions lasting as little as 15 minutes. This treatment uses precise, gentle heat to damage targeted fat cells in areas like the belly, flanks, thighs, and upper arms. It can also treat the dreaded double chin. truSculpt iD is noninvasive, with little or no discomfort and no downtime needed.
Am I a candidate for truSculpt iD?
truSculpt iD can improve shape and definition in various trouble spots on the body, so almost anyone with stubborn fat deposits can benefit. Unfortunately, patients with pacemakers or other internal metal or electronic devices aren't candidates. Patients with epilepsy and active cancer may not qualify. Your Cedar Grove Aesthetics specialist discusses the treatment suitability for your needs based on current health, medical history, and personal goals.
How much fat can truSculpt iD remove?
Clinical studies prove that truSculpt iD patients lose up to 24% of their unwanted fat. Additional sessions can further streamline your body to reach your goals.
Are truSculpt iD results permanent, or will fat return?
The fat cells are gone for good. The results can last long if you maintain your weight with healthy habits. However, new fat can grow if you gain weight again.
How does truSculpt iD compare to liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat with a tube under the skin, so it's effective, but it is a surgical procedure with significant downtime. Meanwhile, truSculpt iD uses gentle heat to break down fat cells naturally. The noninvasive treatment means no surgery, scars, or long recovery. It's a great choice if you want results without downtime.
What areas can truSculpt iD treat most effectively?
This treatment works well on areas where fat often lingers, like the stomach, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin. It adapts to different shapes and sizes, making it a flexible choice for treating multiple areas in one session.
Is truSculpt iD safe for treating stubborn belly fat or love handles?
truSculpt iD is safe and FDA-cleared for reducing belly fat and love handles. Many people see improvements in these common problems, especially when diet and exercise haven't helped enough.
How does truSculpt iD work for small areas?
We can choose from several truSculpt iD treatment applicators, including two handheld options and an additional applicator that fits directly onto the body. The handheld applicators are smaller and often ideal for narrower treatment spots like the submental area and above the knees.
Can truSculpt iD help with body contouring after weight loss?
Absolutely. After weight loss, some people still have pockets of fat they'd like to smooth out. truSculpt iD helps refine your shape by targeting those areas and can even improve skin texture at the same time.
Does truSculpt iD tighten skin as well as reduce fat?
Yes, it can help tighten the skin too. RF heat promotes collagen growth, making your skin feel firmer and smoother. It's a bonus benefit along with fat reduction.
How long are truSculpt iD treatments?
Treatments are 15 minutes to one hour on average.
How many treatments will I need?
You'll see visible results in just one session. Additional treatments can help fine-tune your results.
What does truSculpt iD feel like?
Patients usually describe treatments as warm but tolerable. Our specialists can adjust the heat level for your comfort.
Is there any downtime after truSculpt iD?
truSculpt treatments are noninvasive, require no recovery time, and allow you to return to normal activities immediately.
Can I have truSculpt iD after pregnancy or childbirth?
You can usually begin treatments a few months after giving birth once your doctor says it's safe. truSculpt iD is ideal for moms who want help slimming down after a baby while avoiding surgery or long healing times.
Can I combine truSculpt iD with other aesthetic treatments?
Many patients combine truSculpt iD with treatments like skin tightening, facials, or injectables. At Cedar Grove Aesthetics, we'll create a custom plan to meet your needs and ensure everything works safely together.
