What is it like to TruSculpt your body?
Trusculpt ID is a revolutionary FDA approved fat burning device that came onto the market in 2018. The device utilizes radiofrequency energy to raise the internal temperature of fat cells for a specific time period required to kill fat. Sounds like science-fiction, right? So what is it like to Trusculpt iD your body at SLK? The Consultation At our clinic, every truSculpt iD treatment begins with a detailed consultation. It is vital to have a consultation to discuss and visualize your treatment concerns in order to build your custom contouring treatment. Every patient is unique and has different needs which is why there is not a one treatment fits all approach. In the consultation, a medical provider will map out your best treatment plan and amount of sessions required to meet discussed goals. The Treatment A patient can either be treated the same day as the consultation or come back on another day for treatment. The appointment begins with photographs of the treatment area in order to track progress. The Trusculpt iD device is then applied to the patient according to the agreed upon treatment plan developed during the consultation after the photos are taken. Treatment begins once the device is applied to the body. The treatment from start to finish lasts approximately 15 minutes to one hour. Trusculpt iD treatments are commonly described as feeling like a hot stone massage or the sensation of entering a hot bath. The temperature is gradually increased over the first five minutes then maintained for the last ten. Overall the treatment from start to finish is very comfortable. When Will I See Results? It takes 12 weeks to see final results after a single treatment, though some patients start to notice a change around six to eight weeks. The body relies predominantly on the lymphatic system to remove the dead fat cells naturally and this process takes up to 12 weeks. SLK Clinic recommends layering two to four treatments in order to achieve best results. TRUSCULPT ID BEFORE/AFTER PHOTOS Are There Any Side Effects? Trusculpt iD is very unique in that any side effects experienced are very minimal and very transient. A patient treated with Trusculpt may experience mild redness, tenderness, and some swelling. However, any of these side effects experienced are very mild and typically resolve within a few hours to days.
Does Trusculpt ID Really Work?
TRUSCULPT: DOES IT REALLY PRODUCE RESULTS? What if we told you there was a way to permanently kill up to 24% of fat cells in a non-invasive way that requires no downtime? Does this sound too good to be true? Fortunately this type of non-invasive fat removal is completely accessible at SLK Clinic with Trusculpt ID. How Does Trusculpt iD Work? The Trusculpt iD device utilizes radiofrequency waves that penetrate sections of fat down to the muscle layer. This optimized energy delivery system provides selective apoptosis (cell death) of the subcutaneous adipose (fat) tissue while sparing the skin cells. Cell death is accomplished through increasing the internal temperature of treated fat cells to 109.4F for a precise amount of time. Increasing internal fat cell temperature is achieved through the interaction between radiofrequency waves and water molecules within fat cells. Water molecules in fat cells are excited by radiofrequency energy. When water molecules are excited, they vibrate very quickly. This water molecule vibration translates into friction and friction results in heat. Heat steadily increases within the fat cells the longer the water molecules are excited by the energy. It treats the entire fat layer, resulting in clinically proven results averaging 24% fat reduction with each treatment. Fat cells cannot survive 10 minutes at 109.4F, thus they permanently die. After treatment, the body naturally metabolizes and removes the dead fat cells through the lymphatic system over a period of 12 weeks. These cells are irreversibly damaged and will not return. How Many Treatments Are Required? For best results a patient should be treated approximately three times per treatment area. Significantly noticeable results are best seen when treatments are layered since up to 24% of fat cells can be killed per treatment. Many patients see results as early as six weeks and will continue to see improvement up to 12 weeks. Are My Results Permanent? Yes, results are permanent. The fat cells permanently killed by Trusculpt iD are naturally removed by the body. The histology studies have shown inflammation and fat necrosis from beneath the skin layer down to 1.5cm in depth. These studies are complemented by clinical studies which show an average of 24% fat reduction in the treatment area measured by ultrasound. However, it is important to note the remaining cells can become larger in size with an unhealthy diet or lack or exercise. (However they will shrink again if you return back to a healthy lifestyle).

An Intro To Trusculpt ID From A Nurse Practitioner
TRUSCULPT ID: THE SOLUTION FOR STUBBORN FAT WHAT CAUSES STUBBORN POCKETS OF FAT? There seems to be a common theme when it comes to weight loss and that is the dreaded trouble spots that always come back, no matter how much your exercise, or how long you diet. As metabolism slows down with age, certain pockets of fat become even more resistant. Everyone has an individual way that they put on weight. This is largely pre-determined by one’s genetics. Some people struggle with abdominal fat whereas others tend to gain weight around their hips and thighs. Sometimes a combination of hormones and genetics makes it very difficult to lose weight in certain areas. Common trouble spots include under the chin, lower abdominal, flanks (love handles), and inner thighs. Unfortunately, there is no way to reduce these fat pockets for good, unless the fat cells are permanently destroyed so that they can no longer try to store energy in the form of fat. WHAT IS TRUSCULPT ID? truSculpt iD is the most effective non-invasive fat burning device on the market. It was approved by the FDA in 2018 for its ability to induce lipolysis (kill fat cells). Trusculpt ID utilizes radiofrequency waves to penetrate thick sections of fat and heat them to a specific target temperature. The fat cells must stay at this target temperature for at least 10 minutes to achieve permanent cell death. The body then metabolizes and removes the dead fat cells over a period of 12 weeks. A patient can expect to see 24-29% of fat removed in a treated area per treatment. The radiofrequency heat also has the effect of collagen remodeling and skin tightening. The skin tightening effect can be very beneficial in areas such as under the chin, back of the arms and abdomen. HOW MANY TREATMENTS OF TRUSCULPT ID ARE REQUIRED? The average treated area will require three treatments for best results. However, required treatments will vary based on the size of the patient and the area treated. For example, the abdomen or inner thighs may require more treatments than beneath the chin. A larger area of fat typically requires more than three treatments. IS TRUSCULPT ID PAINFUL? truSculpt iD kills the targeted fat pocket by gradually heating the area until a specific temperature is achieved. Once the temperature is achieved, it is maintained for ten minutes. The gradual heating process can feel like a hot stone massage but is not painful. A patient can expect some mild redness, tenderness, and swelling after the procedure. These results are completely normal and are to be expected. Any redness typically resolves within one day. Tenderness and swelling are normal for a few days after the procedure and will resolve within a week. AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR TRUSCULPT ID? Anyone that is living a healthy lifestyle and exercises regularly is a good candidate for truSculpt iD. The only patient contraindications for treatment are pregnancy, significant metal implants in the treatment area, and implanted electrical devices such as an insulin pump or a cardiac pacemaker.

LIPOSUCTION. Many plastic surgeons will tend to recommend this corrective option first, especially because surgery is their specialty. However, liposuction requires incisions and stitches that result in scars, which is not ideal when all you really want is just for your skin to look normal again. 2. KYBELLA. Even though a fat lump may look small, Kybella can use between 5 and 15 vials to treat even the tiniest of fat pockets, making it even more expensive than liposuction. (Kybella typically costs between $300 and $600 a vial). So although Kybella placement is very precise, this will probably run you the most amount of money. For this reason, we only recommend this method for extremely tiny defects. 3. TRUSCULPT ID. Trusculpt iD, released in 2018, is the newest generation of Trusculpt which has been around since the early 2010s. This new device is fully customizable to the shape and size of the fat defect you would like to remove. It also lays or glides on top of the skin, so there is not the risk of variability like you have with a suction-cup based device. It can target an area as small as half the size of your credit card, resulting in a more precisely measured treatment zone. The best part is there is no scarring, incisions, pain, or downtime.

What Causes Uneven Results From Coolsculpting?
UNEVEN COOLSCULPTING SIDE EFFECTS Uneven results from fat-freezing devices like Coolsculpting are not uncommon. You may have experienced it personally, or seen reviewers on Realself lamenting their negative experience. Why does this happen? Sometimes it could be user error, however, even the most experienced Coolsculpting providers have witnessed the unsightly dents and bumps that can arise from Coolsculpting. Read below to learn about the 2 main reasons for these uneven side effects: 1. Coolsculpting is vacuum-based making it an inexact science. It is virtually impossible to precisely control whether the skin sucked into the Coolsculpting cup gets gets pulled from the right, left, up, or down. Coolsculpting uses a vacuum to pull the skin away from the body in less than a second. Once the skin is vacuumed into the cup, its position cannot be moved or adjusted without stopping the machine and starting over again. 2. Coolsculpting suction cups come in only 3 fixed sizes despite the fact that no two bodies are exactly alike. This makes it extremely difficult to treat areas like the inner thigh, for example. If the length of the inner thigh fat does not exactly match the length of any of the cups, the patient is at risk for uneven removal of fat. Coolsculpting cups come in 3 sizes: CoolAdvantage Plus, CoolAdvantage, and CoolAdvantage Petite. Although Coolsculpting is truly effective at removing fat, it does have its cons, as described above. However, the beauty of aesthetic dermatology is that the industry is booming and technology is always improving. Coolsculpting was FDA-approved in 2010, which is a long time ago in tech-based fields such as aesthetics. (Can you imagine still using the cell phone you had in 2010?) Since then, the FDA has approved new fat-removal technology, Trusculpt iD, which lays flat on the skin, eliminating the problem of unpredictable vacuum effects. The smooth, flat panels of Trusculpt iD can be placed wherever desired on the skin, and their position can be adjusted down to the millimeter. Trusculpt panels can also be reduced or expanded to match the size of the skin needing to be treated. All in all, this device allows us at SLK to make our patients much happier than they would be with Coolsculpting.
