We recommend wearing loose clothing that you don’t care about such as yoga pants, sports bra etc. If you do get glycerin on your clothing, it easily washes out.
Health and contraindications
  • Please shave excess body hair in the area to be treated. You will be charged $75 if we must shave you.
  • Please let us know if you have a pacemaker.

  • The chance of success with Trusculpt is less if you have had treatment for fat reduction (Liposuction, Kybella, Coolsculpt, Vasershape, etc.)
  • Multiple treatments may be required to get the desired result.
  • This treatment cannot be performed if you have ever had gold treatment.
What to expect
  • Areas of fat are treated in 15-minute increments with slow heating of the fat. Treatment time depends on how many areas and the size of the area to be treated.
  • The skin must get to a final temperature of 44.5 degrees C for 15 minutes for disruption of fat.
  • The slow heating lets your body get used to the heat and makes the treatment very warm but comfortable.
  • The last minutes at the top temperature gets very hot, we use comfort measures and cooling in other body locations. Most patients get through it easily.
  • All patients who undergo treatment will be photographed.
  • The small handpiece, which is mostly for the jawline and neck, is done as a 3-treatment package.
Results
  • Results begin to appear at 6-8 weeks, but full results can take up to 12 weeks.
  • 2-4 treatments may be necessary depending on size and area.
  • If more than one treatment is recommended, we usually wait at least 6 weeks between treatments for the large handpiece and 4 weeks between treatments for the small handpiece.
