What is the truSculpt 3D?

It is a radio frequency device that is health Canada approved for the destruction of fat cells. The truSculpt permanently destroys fat cells with each treatment, on average a patient can expect up to 24 percent reduction in adipose cells. The truSculpt doesn’t shrink fat cells, it kills them.

How does this differ from other devices in the market?

There are many body sculpting machines on the market today. some use radio frequency, some freeze the fat, and some use ultrasonic energy. The truSculpt uses radio frequency energy to destroy fat cells. It is the only device in Prince George that does this. Some devices can tighten skin and require numerous treatments, and are not permanent. Some freeze the fat and can be very uncomfortable. The truSculpt warms up the tissue to a point that the cells suffer enough damage that they are destroyed. As well the truSculpt can be used to shape and contour your curves and unwanted fatty areas as it also promotes the production of collagen and elastin formation further benefiting the final results. You are not just stuck getting a single area treated. With the truSculpt you can go around curves or around hip bones. It truly is a unique and result proven device.

Can you describe the procedure?

The procedure is divided up into preparation and treatment. Once you have had a consult and decided on the treatment you wish and the area you are concerned about, we then prepare you for the treatment by marking the areas you are concerned about on your skin with a chalk marker. The treatment is broken up into 15 minute periods. You can have up to 2 hours at a time but most people settle for 1 hour. A body part can be treated in 15 minutes and most say it feels like a hot stone massage. We ask that you are well hydrated before the treatment as the truSculpts energy focuses on water containing tissue like adipose tissue. The wand is glided over the area of choice for 15 minutes and the treatment is complete. Once you are finished you can go back to work or swim or exercise as if nothing was done. There is no recovery period.

How long does it take to see results?

Everyone varies on this. This can be dependent on age and health. We usually see results within 4-8 weeks. However the body has to eliminate the fat cells and remodel the tissue. This usually has its max results in 12 weeks from the initial treatment. Only 1 treatment is needed to get the results of up to 24 percent fat loss. However some people choose to do more treatments after 8 -12 weeks if they wish to treat other areas.

Does the treatment actually work? Have you seen results in your spa?

Yes it does. We have had many many happy clients who have used our device. The before and after images on our website are available at any time for interested clients to see. The results vary but most find on average 24 percent fat loss in the area treated. truSculpt is one of the most consistent devices on the market today and I spent a long time researching it and its competitors before bringing it to Prince George. This coupled with our well trained nursing staff and the results are very consistent amongst our patients.

Is there an ideal person for this treatment?

Anyone can have this treatment as long as they are not pregnant. However the best results are from people looking to trim or reduce the appearance of certain areas of their bodies. We have had great results from arms, legs, chins, butts and abdominal treatments.

Is there anything else you would like to mention about the truSculpt 3D?

All consultations are free. There is no pressure to buy and all treatments are done by trained nurses. You can be assured that you are in good hands at Self Medical Spa.
