How Does truSculpt iD Compare to Other Fat Removal Procedures?
March 3, 2025
When it comes to achieving a slimmer, more sculpted physique, choosing from the available fat-removal procedures can be overwhelming. Among the many choices available, truSculpt iD has quickly emerged as the top-tier non-invasive fat removal procedure. Here we offer a comprehensive comparison showing how truSculpt iD compares to other fat-removal procedures in terms of effectiveness, recovery time, and results. In many cases, the non-invasive truSculpt iD treatment may be all you need to achieve your goals.
What is truSculpt iD?
TruSculpt iD
is a cutting-edge, non-invasive body sculpting treatment that targets stubborn fat and helps deliver the body contouring goals you want. Utilizing radiofrequency energy, truSculpt iD targets and heats fat cells beneath the skin. This heat causes fat cells to break down and the body eliminates them over time.
Your truSculpt iD procedure can be as quick as 15 minutes, is virtually painless, and requires no downtime. On average, patients see a 24% - 35% reduction in fat per treatment session. How many sessions you need will depend on your desired results, with many achieving their goals in 1-2 treatments.
How Is truSculpt iD Different Than Liposuction?
Liposuction is a very effective surgical treatment for those hoping to achieve significant fat reduction and body contour changes. Liposuction is a surgical procedure and requires at least a week for initial recovery and at least three months for long-term recovery. As with any surgical procedure, liposuction comes with risks including bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, and body contour irregularities.
Not everyone, however, is ready to commit to a surgical procedure and that’s where truSculpt iD delivers the ideal alternative. TruSculpt iD can remove up to 35% of fat in the targeted areas in a pain-free, 15-minute treatment with no downtime. Schedule your treatment during a lunch hour and you can be back to work the same day.
How Is truSculpt iD Different Than CoolSculpting?
While both truSculpt iD and
CoolSculpting
are non-invasive fat reduction treatments, they use different technology and achieve different results. Let’s take a closer look at how these two options compare.
- Method of Treatment - The way these procedures address excess fat differs between hot and cold. While truSculpt iD uses radiofrequency to heat and break down fat, CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, to freeze and destroy fat cells.
- Comfort - TruSculpt iD is known for being comfortable, with most patients comparing it to a hot stone massage. In contrast, CoolSculpting can cause some discomfort due to the cold, as well as pulling, tugging, swelling, redness, and numbing of the treatment area.
- Treatment Time - As we have mentioned, truSculpt iD can achieve fat reduction in a 15-minute treatment whereas the average CoolSculpting session is 90 minutes.
- Fat Reduction - Both treatments deliver a significant fat reduction, though CoolSculpting does have some limitations. For example, turSculpt iD can target non-pinchable fat areas and treat those with a BMI higher than 30 while CoolSculpting cannot. On average, truSculpt iD leads to a 24% to 32% percent reduction in fat while CoolSculpting offers a lesser fat reduction ranging from 20% to 25%.
What about Loose and Sagging Skin?
With the elimination of fat, whether through surgical intervention like liposuction, or non-invasive measures like truSculpt and CoolSculpting, one thing to consider is loose skin. Oftentimes, the rapid reduction of fat leaves you with loose and saggy skin. This is one area where truSculpt iD excels. With truSculpt iD and radiofrequency, the skin tightens as the fat cells break down, helping to further enhance your body contouring goals.
