truSculpt Birmingham

truSculpt is a non-invasive treatment with a strong safety record, and MediZen is a medically led clinic registered with the Care Quality Commission. The radiofrequency energy is delivered by a cooled handpiece that protects the surface of your skin, and every plan starts with a consultation so we can confirm the treatment is suitable for you before we begin.

No. Most people describe it as a hot stone massage, a deep warmth that builds gradually and stays comfortable throughout. There are no needles and nothing sharp, and the cooled tip keeps the surface of the skin from getting too hot while the heat does its work below.

Yes. truSculpt heats the fat layer with radiofrequency until the treated cells can no longer survive, and your body clears them over the weeks that follow. The clinical work behind the device reports an average fat reduction of around 24% in the treated area after a single session. It performs best on a defined, stubborn area rather than as a way to lose weight all over, which is why the honest assessment at your consultation matters as much as the treatment.

For most people two sessions, spaced about twelve weeks apart, give the best result for a single area. Some patients choose a course of three where they want more change or are treating more than one area. Your practitioner sets out a realistic, personalised plan at your consultation rather than a fixed number for everyone.

None to speak of. The treated area is warm and slightly flushed for under an hour, and you may feel mildly tender for a few days, similar to the day after a workout. You can return to work, exercise and normal life straight away, which is why so many people book it around a lunch break.

Side effects are usually mild and short lived. Expect the treated area to feel warm and look a little flushed for under an hour, with some tenderness for a few days that resembles the ache after a hard session in the gym. Because nothing is cut or frozen, there is no bruising to hide and no wound to care for. We check that the treatment is suitable for you at the consultation before anything begins.

Your body clears the treated fat cells gradually, so change builds over the weeks that follow. Many people notice a difference within the first few weeks, with the full result at around twelve weeks after each session. Once fat cells are gone they do not return, so results are long lasting as long as you keep a stable weight.

For the right person, it is one of the most straightforward ways to shift a stubborn area without surgery, general anaesthetic or time off work. If you are close to the shape you want and a single pocket of fat is holding you back, most patients feel it earns its place. If your real aim is broad weight loss, it is not the right spend, and we will tell you so before you book rather than after.

truSculpt works well on the abdomen and lower stomach, the flanks and love handles, the thighs, the upper arms and under the chin. If a stubborn area is holding back an otherwise good shape, it is worth a conversation, and at your consultation we will tell you honestly whether the area you have in mind is a good fit.

To a degree, yes. The radiofrequency heat that reduces the fat also warms the skin above it, which encourages some firming as the area settles, so results tend to look smooth rather than deflated. Where loose skin is the main concern rather than fat, a dedicated skin-tightening treatment such as Secret PRO may suit you better, and we will be candid about which is the right tool for your skin.

Yes on both counts. truSculpt suits every skin type, and unlike some body contouring devices it can be worked safely over tattoos, so a tattoo across the stomach or arm is not a barrier to treatment.

No. We do not treat anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, as body sculpting is best done once your body has settled. A good number of our patients come to us after having children, once they feel ready, to address the softness that never quite went. When the timing is right, book a consultation and we will map out a sensible plan for you.

There is no set age. We treat adults across a wide range, from people in their late twenties through to their sixties, as long as the skin and the area are a good fit. truSculpt is just as popular with men as with women, particularly for the stomach and flanks that resist the gym. Your practitioner looks at your skin and your goal at the consultation rather than going by age alone.

truSculpt reduces fat using radiofrequency heat, while truFlex builds and tones muscle using targeted electrical contractions. They solve different problems, and many patients combine them as truBody so an area is both slimmer and firmer. Your practitioner will advise which one, or which combination, fits your goal.

Yes, and it often is. The most common pairing is with truFlex muscle sculpting as part of a truBody plan, so an area comes away both slimmer and firmer. Depending on your goal, your practitioner might also suggest a skin-quality treatment such as Profhilo, and will sequence everything so each treatment has room to work.

There is refreshingly little to do. Drink plenty of water in the days after your session to help your body clear the treated fat, keep moving, and carry on as normal. There is no downtime to plan around, so you can head back to work or the gym the same day. Some people like to keep the overlying skin looking its best while the result settles.

truSculpt is performed by our experienced therapists and skin specialists in a clinic that is medically led by Dr David Eccleston. Every practitioner is trained in the treatments they deliver, and the medical oversight of the clinic sits behind everything we offer.
