truSculpt

How it works

truSculpt, from Cutera, is a body contouring device that uses monopolar radiofrequency. Energy passes into the subcutaneous layer and heats fat tissue to a controlled temperature, which may lead to a gradual reduction in treated fat over the following weeks. Applicators of different shapes treat areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It is not a weight-loss method.

Good to know

• Heating is deep but the skin surface usually looks normal, apart from warmth or light pinkness.
• Tenderness or a bruised feeling may appear for a few days.
• Changes develop slowly over weeks, so the visit itself brings no immediate difference.
• Candidates should be near a stable weight and have realistic expectations about modest changes.

What a truSculpt session means for your travel days

Sessions on the body can take a while, but there is no wound to protect. Wear loose clothes and keep your plans light for the rest of the day.

A series might be proposed. For a short trip, ask what one session may achieve and whether the plan could continue elsewhere, or if it makes more sense to wait.
