The Cutera truSculpt Flex is a FDA cleared, non-invasive muscle sculpting device for the strengthening, firming and toning of abdominal, buttocks and thigh muscles. It is a system that can improve muscle tone by inducing muscle contractions using electric current and is unique in being customizable based on the patient’s fitness level, shape, and goals.
truSculpt flex involves direct stimulation of muscles through the electrodes located in the handpiece, resulting in full muscle contractions similar to voluntary contractions during physical exercise. The contractions induced by the device are more intense than physical exercise and such rapid contractions result in increased muscle mass, strength, and tone. One of the limitations of electrical muscle stimulation in increasing muscle strength is that the same muscles that are superficially located are recruited during repetitive use. This can lead to muscle fatigue and damage. truSculpt flex overcomes this limitation by using multi-directional stimulation with three treatment modes.
These include prep mode, tone mode, and sculpt mode and are based on the utilization of electric pulses of three different frequencies. The three treatment modes simulate different exercises and provide complete muscle stimulation.
Prep Mode: this mode creates twisting motions similar to those experienced during warm-up exercises. It involves stretching of muscles and slowly build a tolerance to muscle contractions
Tone Mode: this mode is similar to performing squats and involves contracting muscles until the point of exhaustion. This mode mimics strength training programs and results in increased strength and endurance
Sculpt Mode: this mode is similar to performing crunches and involves fast, deep, sequential contractions of the muscles. This mode mimics muscle building programs involving the development of new muscle fibers. An increased muscle mass is also accompanied by a simultaneous elevation of basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the growth and support of muscle mass.
