Prior to a truSculpt iD treatment session, no special preparation is needed. However, if located in the treatment area, patients should remove any jewelry or body piercings. In addition to this, the skin should be clean, free of any lotions or body creams. From one session, patients can achieve an average reduction of body fat of 24 percent. For optimal results, most individuals require one or two additional treatments which can be scheduled with a minimum of 8 weeks between treatments. Depending on the patient’s needs, additional sessions may be recommended. Within 6 to 12 weeks after the treatments, results should begin to appear.
