It's not uncommon for patients to feel concerned about discomfort during their body contouring procedure. TruSculpt iD works via monopolar radiofrequency, which passes through the skin without causing surface heat. The thermal energy lands in deep layers of the skin as well as the superficial subcutaneous layer of fat. Here, where heat is felt, it tends to be well-tolerated without any need for anesthetic. Keep in mind that, based on your personal pain threshold, you might find the procedure to be more or less uncomfortable than others. Talk with your provider during your treatment. If needed, they can adjust your settings to make you more comfortable.
