But if you’re a woman of child-bearing years, you may have wondered  whether TruSculpt iD®  treatment will affect your chances of getting pregnant.  Here are some facts that should put your mind at ease.

TruSculpt iD® Pre-Pregnancy

If you’ve recently had a TruSculpt iD® treatment session done on any part of your body, because the procedure only kills targeted fat cells, there’s no recovery period necessary. This means you don’t have to wait to get pregnant after having TruSculpt iD® treatment.  

Another misconception about TruSculpt iD® is that it  affects your fertility. But the truth is, TruSculpt iD® non-surgical fat reduction technique doesn’t affect anything beyond the layer of treated skin and fat. In fact, the heat and radio frequency from TruSculpt iD® do not reach the reproductive organs like your ovaries that are deep beyond the area of treatment. But just because TruSculpt iD® doesn’t affect fertility doesn’t mean you should get a treatment session while you’re actively trying to get pregnant.  

While it’s safe to start trying to get pregnant after TruSculpt iD® treatment, even though TruSculpt iD® kills the unwanted fat cells in the targeted area, it won’t stop new fatty tissue from developing in the area after significant weight gain. During pregnancy, it’s normal to gain weight. For this reason,  women that have experienced significant weight gain in prior pregnancies, should wait until after your pregnancy to undergo treatment.   

TruSculpt iD® During Pregnancy

While TruSculpt iD® is safe, there’s no research done on the effects  TruSculpt iD® can have on pregnant women and their growing fetuses. To avoid any risk to you or your child, we highly suggest waiting until after delivery to get TruSculpt iD® treatment.  

If you’ve had TruSculpt iD® done prior to conceiving, the results can vary. Women who are able to maintain their weight can notice the effects of their TruSculpt iD® sessions shedding away fat cells. However, it’s possible for some women not to see a difference or grow new fat cells in their treated area. If you’re actively trying to get pregnant, getting non-surgical fat reduction treatment in an effort to destroy unwanted fat before putting on baby weight is not recommended. This is a time to think about the health of yourself and your baby. There will be plenty of time to shed the extra weight after delivery. And who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky and lose the weight naturally!

TruSculpt iD® Postpartum

Though weight loss does normally begin as soon as a woman gives birth, weight-loss timetables vary depending on a variety of factors such as how much weight was gained during pregnancy, whether or not the mum is  breastfeeding, age, diet and exercise habits, and activity level. New mums generally drop approximately 5.5 kilos (12 pounds) as the uterus shrinks back down, but some stubborn fat persists long after giving birth. 

If you’re a new mum and you’re worried that your body isn’t bouncing right back, don’t worry!  You’re human—not a rubber band, and your body isn’t going to just snap back into place postpartum as if nothing happened. It takes time.  And for nursing mums, the time it takes to get back to pre-pregnancy physique may be even longer as the body is still producing nutrients.

There’s good news, however. While many of the fat-reduction and other cosmetic treatments that were off limits during pregnancy are safe and available during the postpartum period. 

Because your bdy changes a lot during pregnancy, it’s best to give yourself time to recuperate during the postpartum stage before seeking any cosmetic procedure.

TruSculpt Procedure

By delivering radiofrequency energy to the treatment areas, excess fat cells absorb the energy in the form of heat, effectively destroying stubborn fat without harming the skin at all. Once destroyed, the body naturally takes over and flushes out the old fat cells through the lymphatic system.

The treatment, which takes from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated, feels like a warm sensation on the skin, similar to a hot stone massage. Most people undergoing the treatment have not reported any pain or discomfort during  the procedure and no prescription pain medications, cooling gels, or compression garments are required. Mild redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area can last for approximately 10-12 hours, for which patients are advised to take mild OTC analgesics such as Tylenol. 

For most people, TruSculpt iD treatment requires two sessions, spaced ut 4 to 6 weeks apart.  In most cases, client achieve maximum results after approximately 10-12 weeks, however some patients begin to see improvement after as little as 4 weeks. 

Is TruSculpt iD® Safe for Women?

Safe for both women and men, TruSculpt iD® is a clinically proven TGA-approved contouring treatment with less risk and recovery time than invasive cosmetic surgery. There are limitations, however,  for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive. While the effects of TruSculpt iD® are unlikely to affect your internal organs, there are no studies or research done on the effects TruSculpt iD® can have on developing fetus. To be on the safe side, it’s best to pause your plans for TruSculpt iD® while you’re trying to get pregnant.

But with all the different fat reduction treatments, it may be hard to know which one is best for you. In this article, we’ll go over the pros and cons of the most popular non-invasive fat reduction treatments on the market.

How Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Treatments Work

Non-invasive fat reduction treatments utilise  different mechanisms to achieve the same objective: permanently destroying fat cells in upper arms, lower abdomen, double chin, inner and outer thighs, and stubborn areas throughout the body with minimal discomfort and without the use of general anesthesia. Some treatments work by destroying fat cells by exposing them to controlled cooling; some expose fat cells to heat. Other treatments use radiofrequency or ultrasonic injury to permanently eliminate fat cells. All treatments aim for lipolysis (lipo = fat cells + lysis = cell death.)

Top 6 Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Treatments

1. CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a popular, non-invasive fat reduction treatment that works by freezing fat cells to death using a mechanism that delivers precise controlled cooling to stubborn pockets of fat in multiple areas of the body including inner and outer thighs, upper arms, lower abdomen, and double chin. Patients experience a cold sensation and a mild tugging feeling for the first 5 minutes before the area goes numb. Coolsculpting treats localized fat that has resistance to diet though it does not replace a healthy lifestyle.

Treatment Time: 35 minutes to an hour.

Treatments needed: 2 to 4 treatments per area

Down time: No downtime; most patients may return to their normal activities immediately following their treatment.

Side effects: Potential side effects include minimal discomfort, mild swelling, tenderness, numbing, bruising, redness.

When Will I See  Results? Maximum results seen 8-12 weeks after the treatment. 

2. SculpSure (Laser Lipolysis)

Similar to CoolSculpting but, instead of using controlled cooling, Sculpsure heats up fat cells to the point of destruction using light based technology. Patients may experience a warm and tingly sensation during the procedure. 

Treatment Time:  25 minutes.

Treatments needed: 2-3 treatments per area.

Down time: No downtime; patients may return to their normal daily activities immediately following their treatment.

Side effects: Potential  stiffness and swelling.

When Will I See  Results? Maximum results seen 8-12 weeks after the treatment.

3. Zerona

Another laser-based technology that heats fat cells using a “cold laser,” Zerona is one of the most gentle fat reduction treatments, but also the least effective. Zerona requires patients to adhere to a strict diet following treatment.

Treatment Time: 40 minutes.

Treatments needed: 6 in a 2-week span

Down time: No downtime required; patients may return to their normal daily activities immediately following their treatment.

Side effects: Side effects are rare for most patients.

When will I see Zerona results? Many fat reduction treatment specialists would say you won’t.  If you do respond to the treatment,  Maximum results manifest several weeks after conclusion of the treatment programme.

4. Vanquish

Vanquish heats fat cells to death using radiofrequency. This unique mechanism can target larger areas of the body than other non-invasive fat reduction treatments. Vanquish is similar to other fat reduction treatments like liposuction, Venus Freeze, Trusculpt, or Ultrashape that utilise radiofrequency and/or ultrasonic energy to deliver thermal manipulation to fat cells.

Treatment Time: 30 to 60 minutes.

Treatments needed: 2-3 treatments per area.

Down time: No downtime required 

Side effects: Many patients report lumps and tenderness.

When will I see results? Within 8-12 weeks after the treatment.*

Besides building muscle, Emsculpt NEO incorporates radiofrequency energy to reduce fat and tighten the skin. Try this if you struggle to achieve your dream body through consistent exercise and a healthy diet!

EmSculpt Neo was introduced into the body contouring market by 2020 and has become the most advanced body contouring technique in recent times. It provides revolutionary weight-loss benefits as a combination of electromagnetic and electrical energy. Combined with these unique technology mixes, the system produces superior results. The system can reduce the body mass by 30 per cent and increase strength by 25% in just 3 days of operation. This technology is one of the best noninvasive fat removal techniques available today.

Treatments Needed: Typically, patients get six Emsculpt sessions over three weeks. Each session  will take place every two to three days.  

Downtime: No painful recovery; patients return to work or their daily routine after their sessions.

Side Effects: Mild soreness around the treatment area. 

When Will I See  Results? It can take six to eight weeks after a full treatment plan to see visible results.

Trusculpt is a non-invasive body sculpting treatment that utilises  radiofrequency energy to heat fat tissues. Patients experience not only a reduction in fat but also tighter skin after the treatment.

Treatment Time: Trusculpt sessions are quick and easy. You can be in and out within fifteen minutes to an hour depending on your treatment area(s).

Treatments Needed: Trusculpt patients get optimal results from one to two treatments.

Down time:  One of the greatest advantages of Trusculpt is there’s minimal downtime after. Your skin may look redder than usual after your sessions. The redness should subside within an hour.

Side Effects: Trusculpt side effects are minimal compared to other cosmetic treatments. But it’s normal to experience mild redness and tenderness in the treated areas. After-effects usually go away without intervention within a few hours.

When Will I See Results?: Trusculpt outcomes differ per patient. But results may take four to six weeks to show.

Tackle weight gain successfully with non-surgical fat removal treatments

Nonsurgical fat removal techniques have risen in popularity over invasive fat removal systems like surgical liposuction because there are minimal to no side effects or down time. Noninvasive fat reductions an effective method of permanently destroying fat cells without the use of knives, needles, or anesthetics.

Why Choose Non-Invasive Fat Reduction

Liposuction, an invasive procedure, has long been the gold standard for effective fat reduction. However, the nature of such an invasive cosmetic treatment concerns many. Although effective, invasive procedures may include general anaesthesia, scalpels, stitches, scars, lengthy recovery times, and other adverse side effects.

Advancements in non-invasive cosmetic treatments have revolutionised the cosmetic industry. And in 2023, reducing fat has never been safer, easier, or more effective.
