Non-surgical radiofrequency fat reduction for stubborn, diet-resistant fat.
Non-surgical radiofrequency fat reduction for stubborn, diet-resistant fat.
Even with consistent effort in the gym, some pockets of fat simply hold on. truSculpt iD — Cutera's radiofrequency fat-reduction platform, which we offer as truSculpt — is a non-surgical way to address them. Using monopolar radiofrequency energy, the device gently warms the deep fat layer to a temperature that prompts fat cells to break down. Over the following 6–12 weeks, your body naturally clears those cells, for a gradual, natural-looking refinement rather than an overnight change.
Each cycle is hands-free and takes about 15 minutes. truSculpt is FDA-cleared for non-invasive fat reduction of the abdomen, with an average of 24% fat reduction reported after a single session. Most people describe the sensation as a deep, warm massage, and return to normal activity the same day.
Because Vue is a surgeon-led practice, every truSculpt plan starts with an honest assessment from Dr. Swenson's team. truSculpt is a body-contouring tool, not a weight-loss program — it works best for healthy patients near their goal weight who want to smooth a specific area. If a different approach would serve you better, we'll tell you.
The fat cells cleared during treatment are eliminated for good. That said, the fat cells that remain can still enlarge, so a stable weight and healthy lifestyle protect your results over time.
Most patients find it very comfortable. The handpiece delivers steady, therapeutic warmth — many compare it to a hot-stone massage. There are no needles and no numbing, and your provider can adjust the intensity anytime.
truSculpt is designed to deliver visible results in as little as one 15-minute session per area. Depending on your goals, your provider may suggest one or two sessions — we'll map it out honestly at your consultation.
No. truSculpt reduces localized pockets of stubborn fat and refines your shape; it isn't a weight-loss program. It works best when you're already near your goal weight.
Your body clears the treated fat cells gradually, so results develop over roughly 6–12 weeks and continue to improve during that window.
There's essentially no downtime — mild warmth or brief redness may linger, and most people return to their day right away. Good candidates are healthy adults near their goal weight with a defined area of stubborn fat; we confirm candidacy at your consultation.
