truFlex™

A healthy lifestyle with consistent exercise can dramatically improve your well-being, appearance, and confidence. But for some people striving for an athletic figure, all that hard work doesn’t quite yield the desired results. Muscle toning treatments can help you achieve greater strength and muscle definition than workouts alone.

truFlex™ by Cutera® is a revolutionary new FDA-cleared muscle-sculpting technology. Previously known as truSculpt® Flex, this entirely non-invasive procedure provides direct stimulation to the muscles with results that are more intense than physical exercise. Strengthen, tone, and firm to create your desired body contour with Cutera® truFlex™ at Capital Laser & Skin Care.

Learn More About truFlex™

Want to achieve better muscle tone with a short, in-office treatment? truFlex™ uses advanced electric current stimulation to achieve better muscle tone via rapid muscle contractions. These contractions are similar to doing hundreds of repetitions of squats or crunches.

Using a specialized handpiece, your provider can selectively target small and large body muscle groups to give the entire muscle a workout like no other. The muscle-sculpting technology helps safely break down muscles, allowing them to strengthen and rebuild over time. The best part? Multiple groups of muscles can be treated simultaneously for a comprehensive body toning treatment in under an hour. truFlex™ is FDA-cleared to treat the thighs, buttocks, and abdominal muscles.

If you have lost weight with GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide and noticed a loss of shape and definition in key areas, muscle stimulation can restore your body contours for a more sculpted figure.

truFlex™ boasts three unique modes, each equipped with multi-directional stimulation (MDS). This makes treatment incredibly quick and easy. We’re able to treat up to eight areas at once with a single in-office visit. Patients can usually expect their appointment to last about one hour. Afterward, you can resume regular daily activities with no downtime.

A truFlex™ treatment is painless. You’ll feel the rapid muscle contractions and may feel tugging or tingling sensations. Some patients find this feeling a little uncomfortable but tolerable. The truFlex™ technology allows us to adjust the intensity of your treatment as needed based on your comfort and goals.

After a series of truFlex™ treatments, you can expect an increase in lean muscle mass at the treatment site. We typically recommend two treatments weekly for two weeks, depending on your needs. The interval of recommended maintenance treatments will depend on your shape and fitness level. Results will gradually become apparent over the course of several weeks.

As with a regular exercise routine, maintenance is required to sustain the muscle-toning results. Patients should continue to exercise regularly and may need occasional follow-up sessions for long-lasting benefits.
truFlex™ can help you achieve a more toned, muscular appearance in the thighs, glutes, and abs. Remember that, unlike many body contouring treatments, truFlex™ does not reduce fat. Patients with excess fat in the treatment area may not see noticeable results. If you’re struggling with stubborn fat keeping you from your body goals, we may recommend CoolSculpting® instead of or in addition to truFlex™.

Thanks to the non-invasive nature of truFlex™ by Cutera®, patients can achieve optimal outcomes without any recovery needed. Your muscles may feel slightly tender or sore for a few days, similar to what you’d expect after an intense workout. Occasionally, patients have minor redness and tingling in the treatment area for a few hours, but truFlex™ requires no downtime. You can sculpt and tone large or small muscle groups and immediately return to your routine!

Cutera® truFlex™ (also known as truSculpt® Flex) may be worth considering if you’re not seeing the results you want from diet and exercise alone. The procedure is ideal for men and women who want to tone and strengthen muscles on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or arms. Others enjoy improving their golf or tennis swing, and the increased muscle strength can enhance a workout routine. 

If you have lost weight with GLP-1 medications, truFlex™ offers a way to replace lost fat with stronger, more defined muscles. You can even have this treatment during weight loss to help you see more muscle definition as you lose fat.

Each truFlex™ treatment is highly customizable based on your fitness level, shape, and goals. During a detailed consultation, one of our board-certified dermatologists will help you determine if truFlex™ is right for you.
