1. Why we chose truSculpt iD
Body contouring is the hottest aesthetic treatment right now, with individuals looking to reduce stubborn fat and sculpt their bodies.
Patients are faced with many options, but two of the most in-demand procedures are truSculpt iD and CoolSculpting.
truSculpt iD uses radiofrequency (RF) to heat and destroy fat cells. CoolSculpting uses cold temperatures to freeze and kill fat cells.
Both procedures are non-invasive and reduce roughly the same amount of fat thickness (approximately 24 percent) in one treatment.
However, practices with body contouring devices have noted five ways that truSculpt iD stands out and differs from other body contouring treatments, including CoolSculpting, Liposuction and SculpSure.
In this particular breakdown we’ll shine some light on the differences between CoolSculpting and truSculpt iD.
1. truSculpt iD Has Features to Improve Patient Comfort
When it comes to fat reduction, truSculpt iD offers improved patient comfort over other radiofrequency (RF) devices.
The truSculpt iD procedure operates at a different frequency that allows it to heat the fat more deeply and at a uniform temperature.
This feature focuses heat on the fat instead of the patient’s skin. Therefore, the skin does not overheat, and patients avoid the burning sensation felt with other RF devices.
2. trusculpt iD Offers a Better Fit for More Patients
TruSculpt iD applicators can be applied anywhere on the body, compared to CoolSculpting’s applicators, which are limited by skin elasticity, size, and location.
More specifically, truSculpt iD allows treatment of individuals that may be too large or too small to appropriately fit CoolSculpting hand pieces.
3. truSculpt iD Can Improve Skin Quality
Because it is using radiofrequency, truSculpt iD has been noted to improve skin quality in the treated area, making it tighter and more toned.
CoolSculpting does not have a positive or negative effect on skin laxity, which means you would have to add another treatment on top of it to get the desired results for tightening
4. truSculpt iD Is More Cost Effective
With lower consumable prices per use for us, the difference between CoolSculpting and truSculpt iD also shows up in your wallet.
One treatment is about one-third the cost of a Coolsculpting treatment of the same size area.
5. truSculpt iD Has a Shorter Treatment Time
It takes 15 minutes to perform a truSculpt iD treatment for up to six 4×4″ areas and 35 to 45 minutes to perform a CoolSculpting treatment on a 4×8″ area.
While a provider must be hands-on for the duration of the truSculpt iD procedure, it certainly is more comforting to have a medical professional nearby during treatment as opposed to CoolSculpting where a medical professional does not need to remain in the room.
