4 Minute Read: 

Do you diet and exercise but still struggle with stubborn areas of fat?  Are you frustrated with love handles, pockets of fat on your abs or outer thighs, or even a double chin? 

If this sounds like you and you are considering non-surgical fat reduction, here’s the skinny on two of the most popular options available today.

AesthetiCare is a plastic surgery practice that is proud to offer truSculpt® iD at our medspa. 

We did the research and decided that truSculpt® offered better results than CoolSculpting®, and here’s why.

What Should You Know About CoolSculpting®?

When it comes to non-surgical fat reduction, many people know the name CoolSculpting®. There is no denying that this is a popular and heavily marketed treatment method. However, just because it is well known, doesn’t mean it is the best non-surgical fat reduction treatment available.

CoolSculpting® freezes the fat cells in a process known as cryolipolysis. CoolSculpting® involves the provider using customized applicators to treat the abdomen, love handles, inner and outer thighs, bra fat, and back fat. 

These applicators require the area being treated to be “pinchable,” limiting the areas that can be corrected. 

Why Do We Choose to Offer truSculpt® iD?

Instead of using low temperatures to freeze fat cells, truSculpt® uses radiofrequency heat to destroy them.

This radiofrequency also allows truSculpt® to treat skin laxity and texture. 

truSculpt® technology can be used to reduce fat in the:

• Abdomen
• Inner and outer thighs
• Arms
• Back
• Below the buttock (banana roll)
• Love handles
• Double chin
• And more

Because truSculpt® does not need the treatment area to be “pinchable,” it is far more versatile and can be used to treat any area of the body where there is excess fat.

The truSculpt® iD Difference

Our truSculpt® treatments are an excellent option to remove fat cells permanently. While CoolSculpting® is readily advertised on television and in magazines as a successful treatment, truSculpt® offers much more comprehensive results when it comes to fat removal and skin tightening. 

This truSculpt® technology has proven to provide more dramatic and consistent results than CoolSculpting®. 

Our truSculpt® applicators are hands-free, and the treatment only lasts 15 minutes. 

This, combined with its ability to treat loose skin and texture issues, makes truSculpt® our plastic surgeon’s choice for non-surgical fat reduction.

Customizable Fat Reduction

The versatility of truSculpt® allows your provider to create a more customized treatment plan and is a clear winner over CoolSculpting® if you want to treat multiple areas.

Post-Pregnancy Fat Reduction and Weight Loss

Non-surgical treatment with truSculpt® is often the best option after childbirth because of its skin tightening capabilities and works well for those with mild skin laxity due to weight fluctuations.

CoolSculpting® limits the patient to which areas can be treated and will not tighten the surrounding skin, hence why Aestheticare Med Spa prefers truSculpt® over Coolsculpting® as the best non-invasive fat removal procedure.

Have More Questions About truSculpt® iD?

Who is a good candidate for truSculpt®?

Patients should have a BMI less than 30 and struggle with stubborn fat in one or more areas of the body. Those who are pregnant, have cardiac pacemakers, or internal defibrillators cannot undergo the treatment. 

Those with malignant or benign tumors, metallic implants in the target area, including joint replacements, are also precluded from this procedure.

How long does treatment with truSculpt® take?

Treatment time depends on the area(s) treated, but typically a treatment takes around 15 minutes per area. You can expect to see results with one or two treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart.

Is truSculpt® iD painful? 

Non-surgical truSculpt® iD is designed to be a safe and comfortable procedure. There is typically no downtime after treatment, although some patients do experience minor discomfort. 

Side effects may include:

• Mild tenderness
• Sweating
• Redness in the treated areas 

These typically only last a few hours. 

How much does truSculpt® cost?

The cost of your treatment will depend on the number of areas addressed and the amount of treatments needed to achieve your desired results. A consultation with Aestheticare can answer all these questions and more.

Over the years, male plastic surgery has become more and more popular. Although many men are undergoing surgical procedures, there is also a trend for men to opt in for less expensive, less invasive techniques to address aging skin.

A handsome young man’s torso.

Why Is There a Surge In Male Plastic Surgery?

Technology has advanced over the last twenty years and continues to expand as new research and advancements become available. Men are starting to see the advantages of plastic surgery and male body contouring and want to reap some of those benefits.

Dr. Moser and his team are devoted to providing optimal results to every patient. Men require specific needs during plastic surgery in order to maintain a masculine appearance.

Which Procedures Are Available?

• Excess stomach fat, sometimes referred to as a beer belly or a spare tire, can be corrected with a tummy tuck or liposuction to remove extra fat and tighten the abdominal muscles for a chiseled contour. TruSculpt® RF treatments can also be used in some cases without the need for surgery and anesthesia.

• Heavy, drooping eyelids can be addressed by eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), which removes excess skin and fat around the eyes to eliminate overhanging skin that can obstruct vision, cause puffiness, and create a tired appearance.

• A facelift can significantly smooth out facial wrinkles, fine lines, and creases by gently pulling the skin taut and removing any excess tissue.
• If your forehead has wrinkles and your eyebrows are beginning to sag or develop fine lines, then a forehead lift can reduce these facial creases and provide a smooth, youthful brow.
• Dominant noses with a crook or bump can benefit from rhinoplasty, which reduces the nose size, adjusts the shape, and improves facial balance.
• Love handles, chin fat, and excess fat in various areas of the body are removed, a double chin can be removed, and cellulite is reduced using liposuction. With less fatty tissue, fat reduction produces a thinner, more defined body can be revealed.
• Enlarged male breasts, known as gynecomastia, can be addressed through male breast reduction surgery to enhance the masculine curves of the chest.

Minimally Invasive Treatment Options

For men seeking to reduce visible signs of aging without undergoing anesthesia, incisions, or downtime, injectables and laser treatments are excellent non-invasive techniques to address facial aging.

• BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® are neuromodulators that block the nerves in the muscles from contracting, providing smoother and softer skin in the injection sites. By relaxing the muscles, facial wrinkles and folds are temporarily reduced.
• Laser treatments address facial concerns through laser energy. This treatment can erase fine lines, correct uneven skin tones, remove scars, and address many other issues. Laser skin rejuvenation is non-invasive and can provide significant results.

Excess fat on your abdominal area can be bothersome, especially when diet and exercise are unable to target the areas of concern. Deciding to undergo plastic surgery to address these issues is a big decision that needs to be carefully considered. Patients may turn to liposuction or a tummy tuck to achieve their desired thin, chiseled body contour, so understanding the difference between the two procedures can help you make an educated decision about which option will benefit you the most.

Tummy Tuck

Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is designed to address multiple concerns by removing excess fat, stretch marks, and loose skin as well as tightening the underlying abdominal muscles for a slimmer, more defined stomach. Liposuction is commonly performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck to eliminate fat deposits from targeted regions of the body. Extended, mini, and full tummy tuck options are available to correct precise issues, so each procedure can be fully customized for every patient to match their individual goals. The amount of fat and skin being removed will determine which method is recommended and how extensive the incisions need to be.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are bothered by their excess fat, loose skin, stretch marks, and weakened abdominal muscles. This procedure can address the entire torso, extending to the lower back if needed.

Liposuction

Traditional liposuction involves strategically removing localized fat from various locations through a small suctioning device, or cannula, in thin, even layers. This technique can reduce overall fat in the body, typically from the abdominal area, arms, thighs, lower back, and chin. Liposuction is sometimes used during a tummy tuck procedure to address fat deposits.

Candidates

The best candidates for liposuction are bothered by areas of fatty tissue. This method is ideal for removing excess fat when there are no other concerns present.

Consulting With Your Surgeon

Scheduling a personal consultation with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and preferences is the best way to decide which surgical procedure is right for you. Liposuction can help you attain a thinner silhouette, and a tummy tuck can help you acquire tighter abdominal muscles, smoother skin, and less fat in the midsection for a leaner appearance. While both of these techniques achieve similar results, a tummy tuck is more in-depth and can address multiple concerns in addition to merely removing fatty tissue.
