truSculpt® 3D & ID
Non-invasive Fat Reduction and Body Sculpting/Contouring
Non-invasive Fat Reduction and Body Sculpting/Contouring.
We offer truSculpt® 3D & ID in our Bloomfield, Connecticut practice, which are the latest and most effective procedures for non-invasive fat reduction and body sculpting/contouring. The Cutera truSculpt® 3D & ID treatments use a proprietary radio frequency (RF) technology featuring a closed-loop temperature feedback mechanism that allows targeted, repeatable, and uniform heating of the subcutaneous fat layer while maintaining lower average surface temperatures. This multi-dimensional approach to body sculpting and circumferential reduction allows the achievement of the highest clinical efficacy with respect to destroying the targeted fat cells in the shortest possible treatment time. The fat cells are then broken down and disposed of by the body over a period of 3 months. TruSculpt® 3D & ID are ideal for removing those small amounts of fat that stubbornly remain despite a good diet and regular exercise. The truSculpt® 3D & ID systems are also used for the temporary reduction of the appearance of cellulite. Compared to older, alternative approaches such as freezing and ultrasound, truSculpt® 3D & ID are more comfortable, faster, and tighten the skin and usually only requires one treatment*. We are the first in the Greater Hartford area to offer truSculpt® 3D & ID.
We also offer Kybella™ which is an injectable that permanently destroys fat cells to remove fat below the chin (submental fat or “double chin”). For more information on Kybella™ click here.
