If you are frustrated with the shape of your body and have not been able to achieve the look you want with diet and exercise alone, then truSculpt iD may be right for you. Call Timeless Plastic Surgery in Sugar Land, TX to learn more.

Ideal candidates for truSculpt iD are men and women who:

• Have a body mass of 38 or lower
• Have stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to exercise
• Are not pregnant or trying to get pregnant
• Do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or internal defibrillator

The truSculpt iD body sculpting procedure utilizes a multi-dimensional approach to effectively and safely reducing fat cells. Once you are seated comfortably in one of our private treatment rooms, the handheld device will be glided along the target area(s). truSculpt iD uses specific wavelengths (radio frequency technology) to heat and reduce fat cells. There is no discomfort associated with this procedure and most patients report it feels similar to that of a therapeutic hot stone massage. truSculpt iD can treat up to four different areas in one session. Treatments usually take 15 – 30 minutes per target area.

You may experience a little tenderness, redness, or mild irritation afterward, but these symptoms will subside gradually. truSculpt iD does not disrupt or harm the skin as it specifically targets fat cells. It focuses on dimension, definition, and depth to tighten the skin and reduce fat cells. The results often decrease circumference by 1 – 3 inches and diminish fat cells by 25 – 35% in just one treatment. Multiple sessions may be performed at 6 – 8-week intervals, but Dr. Chang can provide more specific recommendations during a consult.

How much does it cost?
The expense of truSculpt iD varies based upon the number of sessions recommended and the quantity of fat that you wish to have removed. At your consultation, we'll discuss your cosmetic goals to decipher the most appropriate course of action to achieve those results. We'll also speak with you regarding any out-of-pocket expenses.

How does truSculpt iD work?
truSculpt iD uses a controlled temperature system to destroy fat cells in predetermined body parts for treatment. Basically, it heats the cells to reduce their size. The cells are broken up by your body and flushed out naturally, resulting in a diminished circumference.

Is truSculpt iD safe?
truSculpt iD is a noninvasive, topical procedure where the apparatus is applied to your skin’s surface. With this procedure, there's no need for a healing period. You might notice some minor swelling and discoloration immediately following the session, but that usually subsides in about one week.

How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required to attain your desired outcome will be determined during your consultation. For many patients, just one treatment is sufficient, while others might require more therapy sessions depending on the quantity of fat being addressed. The number of sessions depends on your aesthetic objectives and if you have larger layers of fat in target sections.

Can the fat cells grow back?
While the fat cells will not regrow, brand new fat cells could form. In addition, weight gain can greatly influence your results. So in order to keep your desired effects, it's necessary to stick to a proper diet plan and workout regimen.

There is no such thing as the perfect body and each of us has things we wish to change, such as specific areas of fat that will not respond to exercise and a healthy diet. Due to technological advances, it is no longer necessary to decide between dealing with the undesired fat and undergoing liposuction. Timeless Plastic Surgery is excited to offer Houston, TX men and women truSculpt iD procedures to minimize sections of difficult fat without invasive procedures for a smaller, tauter body.
