truSculpt and truFlex in Mount Hawthorn
Our truBody program uses two Cutera devices: truSculpt for radiofrequency tissue heating, truFlex for muscle stimulation. Neither involves needles or surgery, and we use them only after a clinical consultation.
truSculpt and truFlex, explained
Two separate Cutera devices. Depending on your assessment, your practitioner may use one or both. Both complement a balanced diet and regular exercise. Neither is a substitute.
What follows describes how each device works. It is not a statement of what either will achieve for any individual, which depends on your assessment.
Tissue heating
Monopolar radiofrequency at 2 MHz delivers controlled heat to the subcutaneous tissue layer. Skin temperature is monitored throughout the session and the device adjusts to hold it within its set range.
Muscle stimulation
Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) uses electrical currents to contract targeted muscle groups. Three modes are combined and adjusted to your conditioning level: Prep, a twisting motion that warms and stretches the muscle; Tone, which contracts and holds the muscle, then releases; and Sculpt, fast, deep, sequential contractions.

These are medical treatments, not beauty treatments, and they carry risks. Your practitioner will tell you what to expect after each session and which risks apply to you. Individual outcomes vary.
Questions to bring to your consultation
Three questions to help you prepare for the conversation. Your answers do not indicate whether treatment is suitable for you, and this page cannot tell you that. Only a consultation can. Your answers stay in your browser, are never sent to the clinic, and disappear when you close the page.
How a truBody program runs

Common questions
That is what the consultation is for. Your practitioner reviews your medical history and your goals, checks for contraindications, then tells you whether these treatments suit you.
All medical treatments carry risks. After truSculpt the treated area is commonly warm, flushed or tender for a short period. truFlex more often causes mild muscle soreness or tingling. Less common are skin irritation, bruising, and a temporary change in sensation over the treated area. Your practitioner will explain the risks that apply to you before you consent to any treatment.
The manufacturer's instructions for use describe a typical course of one truSculpt session and four to six truFlex sessions. That is the manufacturer's figure, not a plan for you. Only your practitioner can set the number, after assessing you.
truSculpt feels like deep warmth. truFlex feels like strong muscle contractions, and your practitioner adjusts the intensity as you go.
No planned recovery time. Temporary warmth, flushing or tingling can last a few hours.
Change is not promised and may not happen. Where there is any change from truFlex, it would show over the course of the series; truSculpt acts more slowly, over about 12 weeks. Outcomes vary from person to person.
Yes. Diet and exercise still do most of the work. The devices complement them.
People with implanted electronic devices, metal implants in the area, pregnancy, epilepsy, active cancer, hernia in the area, or recent surgery, infection or tattoos over the area need specific review. Your practitioner will go through this with you.
Pricing depends on your individual plan and is itemised at your consultation. There is no obligation to proceed.
