Non-invasive muscle sculpting that strengthens, tones, and firms — no gym required.

truFlex (Cutera's truSculpt flex) is a non-invasive muscle-sculpting treatment that does something creams and cardio can't: it targets the muscle directly. Using Cutera's Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) technology, truFlex delivers controlled electrical impulses that trigger deep, involuntary contractions — replicating the crunch, squat, and twisting motions of an intense workout, more completely than you could on your own.
It's FDA-cleared to improve abdominal tone and strengthen the abdominal muscles, and to strengthen, tone, and firm the buttocks and thighs. A typical plan is a short series of sessions over about two weeks, with no downtime — most people return to their day immediately. You'll feel the contractions working, and mild soreness afterward is normal, much like after a hard training session.
Because Vue is surgeon-led, we'll be honest about what truFlex is and isn't. It is not a fat-reduction or weight-loss treatment — it builds on the healthy, active foundation you already have. For patients who also want to address stubborn fat, truFlex pairs with truSculpt iD in a combined protocol Cutera calls truBody.
Yes — your muscles genuinely contract. truFlex uses Multi-Directional Stimulation to create deep, repeated contractions, and it's normal to feel tenderness for a few hours to a couple of days afterward, just like after a hard workout. The difference is you're lying comfortably the whole time.
A standard plan is a short series — commonly four sessions over about two weeks — to give the muscle time to respond and build. We'll map out your exact plan at your consultation.
Muscle tone is maintained the way it's built: many patients keep their results with periodic maintenance sessions plus their own healthy activity and nutrition. truFlex complements a healthy lifestyle rather than replacing it.
No. truFlex is a muscle treatment — it strengthens, tones, and firms the underlying muscle. If fat reduction is your goal, that's a different technology (truSculpt iD).
Yes. truFlex pairs with truSculpt iD, which targets fat, in a combined protocol Cutera calls truBody. Many patients want both muscle toning and fat reduction, and truBody addresses them together.
No downtime. truFlex is non-invasive, so most patients return to normal activity right away. The main thing to expect is temporary muscle soreness in the treated area.
