As millions of people head back to the office and in person events, body sculpting treatments are expected to spike in 2022, and Cutera (Brisband, Calif.) is ready for the challenge. Cutera’s truSculpt flex® now features a rapid treatment mode, truSculpt flex+, that elevates their Multi-Directional Stimulation muscle sculpting system to the next level in a condensed 15-minute treatment available nowhere else. The reduced time increases the potential for aesthetic practices to build and grow, as faster results often translate into faster growth.
Michael Somenek, MD, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon at Somenek+Pittman MD (Washington, D.C.), reported that this technology is appealing to his practice and his patients. “The upgrade to flex+ has really revolutionized what we are doing with muscle sculpting because it is now being condensed into a quick, 15-minute treatment,” he said. “You can imagine the improvement in the productivity with the number of patients that we can treat on a daily basis. The patient can be in and out in 20-25 minutes tops.”
Cutera’s truSculpt flex muscle sculpting technology offers toning, firming and strengthening, while treating eight areas simultaneously. Low level energy provides deep and full, high-intensity muscle contractions equivalent to 54,000 crunches, and is FDA-cleared for strengthening the abdominal muscles as well as toning and firming the buttocks and thighs.
For some practices, combining truSculpt technologies translates to convenience, enhanced results and improved patient satisfaction. “The shorter appointment times allow us to maximize the daily use of the machine as well as schedule more patients in one day for the treatment,” explained Mira Kaga, MD, founder of The Kaga Institute (Marlboro, N.J.). “The most significant difference is that now patients can more readily do truSculpt flex+ and truSculpt iD® in the same appointment with the combined treatment only taking 30 minutes!”
Dr. Somenek reported he also feels that combining treatments adds to overall patient satisfaction. “We combine this treatment with the truSculpt iD so patients are really getting the full body contouring experience. I know they find it more desirable, and it improves their experience. Because of this, it will likely improve the number of referrals we get, too.”
Dr. Kaga shared some tips with us that she uses to enhance patient satisfaction. “We take photos prior to starting the treatments and at each appointment after. When patients see themselves in the mirror each day it is difficult to see results, therefore having documentation of their progress will increase their satisfaction with the treatment.” She also encourages her employees who perform the treatment to act as a motivational coach and help push patients to achieve better results.
The new truSculpt flex+ rapid muscle sculpting technology is proving to provide patients with a full body contouring experience in just 15 minutes, which is a game changer in the body contouring industry, according to Dr. Somenek. “I think it is a great addition and upgrade in technology that is really going to revolutionize the body contouring market because you are not compromising results, you are giving results in a fraction of the time. It is a win win.”
