truSculpt iD
Monopolar RF with real-time temperature control for fat reduction
About This Treatment
truSculpt iD by Cutera uses 2MHz monopolar RF with real-time temperature monitoring to uniformly heat subcutaneous fat to 45°C, inducing adipocyte apoptosis.
Average 24% fat reduction per single treatment. Customizable handpieces for abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms. Immediate return to daily activities.
Mechanism of Action
2MHz monopolar RF generates volumetric heating in deep subcutaneous fat. Temperature sensors monitor skin surface in real-time, maintaining 45°C for a set duration. Fat cells undergo selective apoptosis, naturally eliminated by macrophages. Simultaneously promotes collagen contraction/neogenesis for skin tightening.
Indications
Expected Results
Average 24% fat reduction per single treatment. 2025 combined study: 3.1% abdominal circumference reduction, 14% skinfold thickness reduction at 1 month. Maximum results at 8-12 weeks. Fat reduction is permanent (adipocyte destruction).
Clinical Evidence
Risks & Side Effects
Warmth during treatment (generally well-tolerated). Transient redness (resolves in hours). Rare burns with excessive settings. Fat reduction permanent but weight management needed. Limited efficacy for BMI >30.
