Today, major surgical procedures dominate the popular mommy makeover market – in-demand treatments designed to restore or improve the appearance of a woman’s body to pre-pregnancy. Cutera has disrupted this trend with their revolutionary pairing of truSculpt® iD and truSculpt® flex, also known as truBody®; a non-invasive body contouring treatment pairing that goes beyond the mommy makeover to restore shape, symmetry and strength.

truSculpt iD is an innovative RF technology that provides customized treatments to permanently eliminate up to 24% of fat cells. In as little as 15 minutes, the truSculpt iD can penetrate deep to heat adipose tissue >45o C for permanent destruction of fat cells, while the skin surface temperature remains a comfortable average of 44° C.
According to Mira Kaga, MD, of the Kaga Institute in Township, N.J., the treatment is highly individualized and works in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. As she shared with us, “I like the truSculpt iD because we can tailor the therapy to the patient’s needs. I use it on the C-section pouch that is nearly impossible to work out because that muscle often becomes separated.”
The truSculpt flex device uses Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) to sculpt and tone muscles, resulting in improved strength, tone and firmness. Using electric current to induce muscle contractions, this device offers three treatment modes, allowing physicians to treat up to eight areas at once.
With the higher demand for less invasive procedures, truSculpt steps up by helping patients achieve a lower body fat ratio and increased muscle mass.
Physicians and their practices benefit as they are able to increase patient throughput as well as enjoy an impressive ROI.
Roberta Del Campo, MD, of Del Campo Dermatology and Laser Institute in Miami, Fla., uses the combination in her practice. “I am a proponent of combining both treatment platforms for best results. This was a game changer for me!” And her patients recognize results in a relatively short time. “The truSculpt iD takes approximately three months for final results but they can see and feel a difference after just one truSculpt Flex treatment.”
Benefits go beyond appearance. “These technologies are effective for body sculpting and building muscle strength, which makes us healthier,” Dr. Del Campo explained. “I am most happy when my patients come back to my clinic excited about the results they are seeing, and this is a consistent theme with truSculpt.”
Tahl Humes, DO, medical director of Vitahl Medical Aesthetics (Denver, Colo.) uses a specific protocol for her mommy makeover. “I prefer to do one truSculpt iD session followed by a truSculpt flex session, then another flex session two days later, and two flex sessions the following week for best results.”
In Dr. Humes experience, the benefits are far reaching. “It is a treatment that my patients don’t mind paying money for because they see results and we get a good return on investment. I have multiple technologies in my practice for body fat reduction and contouring, and this is one of my most used and easiest preferred treatments.”
Revolutionary body sculpting technology with truSculpt allows physicians to achieve surgery-like results with a technique that requires no downtime. As Dr. Kaga perfectly summed it up, “The truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex have truly revolutionized how we think about mommy makeovers.”
