TruSculpt body contouring is a non-surgical treatment that may be considered for selected areas of localised fat following consultation and practitioner assessment. It may be suitable for people who are close to their preferred weight but have areas that do not respond as well as they would like to diet, exercise or lifestyle changes.
At Derme Aesthetic Clinic in Camberwell, we offer personalised body contouring consultations and tailored treatment planning using TruSculpt technology. Our approach focuses on individual circumstances, careful assessment and treatment planning rather than dramatic or surgical change.
A consultation is required to assess your suitability, treatment area, expectations and any medical factors before treatment is recommended.
TruSculpt is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat targeted areas beneath the skin. The treatment is designed to address selected pockets of unwanted fat and improve the appearance of body shape in suitable clients.
It is important to understand that TruSculpt is not a weight-loss treatment and is not a replacement for healthy eating, exercise or medical weight management. It is best suited to body shaping and contour refinement in areas where stubborn fat is present.
Suitability depends on your body shape, treatment goals and clinical assessment. Areas commonly considered for TruSculpt body contouring may include:
Treatment areas are assessed during consultation to determine whether TruSculpt is appropriate and whether your goals are realistic.
TruSculpt uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the targeted area. This controlled heating is designed to affect selected fat cells in the treated area while helping the body gradually process them over time.
The treatment is performed using applicators placed over the selected area. You may feel warmth during the treatment, and the temperature is monitored throughout the session. Your practitioner will adjust the treatment according to your comfort and the planned treatment area.
Treatment response varies between individuals. Your practitioner will discuss expected treatment response, potential risks, limitations and follow-up during your consultation.
TruSculpt may be suitable for clients who:
TruSculpt may not be suitable for everyone. Your practitioner will review your medical history, treatment goals, skin condition and the area of concern before recommending treatment.
TruSculpt may not be recommended in some situations, including certain medical conditions, pregnancy, some implanted electronic devices, active infection in the treatment area, significant skin irritation, management of obesity or unrealistic expectations. A full consultation is required to assess suitability.
If there are medical concerns or if further assessment is needed, Derme has a cosmetic doctor on site who can assess or refer if needed.
The treatment area is prepared and the TruSculpt applicators are positioned over the selected area. During the session, the device delivers radiofrequency energy to gently heat the tissue beneath the skin.
Most clients describe the sensation as warmth or deep heating. Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity. Your practitioner will monitor you throughout the session.
The number of areas and applicators used depends on your treatment plan. Your practitioner will explain the approximate session time and what to expect before treatment begins.
During treatment, you may feel warmth, heating or a deep warming sensation in the area being treated. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others. The aim is to deliver effective treatment while keeping you comfortable and monitored.
After treatment, you may be advised to:
Because results develop gradually, it is important to follow your aftercare instructions and allow time for the body to respond.
TruSculpt is non-surgical, but like any aesthetic treatment, it may have possible side effects. These can include temporary redness, warmth, tenderness, swelling, bruising, altered sensation or uneven response. Rare side effects can occur and will be discussed during consultation.
A careful assessment helps reduce risk and ensures the treatment is appropriate for your body and goals.

No. TruSculpt is not a weight-loss treatment. It is intended for body contouring and shape refinement in selected areas. It works best for clients who are close to a stable or preferred weight and they have pockets of fat which they want to address.
Common areas may include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back, under chin area or other selected areas depending on assessment. Suitability is confirmed during consultation.
Most clients describe the treatment as warm or deeply heated rather than painful. Sensitivity varies between individuals and treatment areas. Your practitioner will monitor your comfort throughout the session.
Results develop gradually. Some clients notice changes within several weeks, while more visible improvement may take longer. Individual results vary.
The number of sessions depends on your treatment area, goals and response. For most areas two treatments 6 weeks apart is recommended
Downtime is usually minimal. Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness, swelling or sensitivity can occur. Many clients return to normal daily activities soon after treatment.
Treated fat cells may be affected by the treatment, but results can change with weight gain, ageing and lifestyle factors. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps support results.

TruSculpt may help improve the appearance of firmness in some clients, but it is not a replacement for surgery or medical treatment for significant loose skin. Suitability depends on skin quality and assessment.
TruSculpt uses radiofrequency energy, which may help improve the appearance of firmness in some clients. However, the degree of skin tightening varies and depends on factors such as skin quality, age, elasticity and the treatment area.
For clients with significant loose skin, surgical or other medical options may be more appropriate. If needed, the cosmetic doctor on site can assess or refer for further advice.
TruSculpt is designed for subtle to moderate body contouring in suitable clients. It may help improve the appearance of selected stubborn areas and support a more sculpted body shape over time.
Results vary. TruSculpt does not replace weight loss, surgery or lifestyle management. It is NOT a treatment to reduce weight.
Treatment response may be influenced when treatment is combined with a stable weight, healthy eating, movement and realistic expectations.

So TruSculpt advantages are:
Yes, some people using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy® or Mounjaro® may be suitable for truSculpt® treatment. However, suitability depends on factors including your current weight, treatment goals, overall health, medical history and practitioner assessment.
If you are actively losing weight, your practitioner may recommend waiting until your weight has stabilised before proceeding with body contouring treatment. This allows a more appropriate assessment of the treatment area and helps guide treatment planning.
During your consultation, please let your practitioner know if you are using GLP-1 medication or any other prescription medicines so your suitability can be assessed and the most appropriate treatment options discussed.
The way the skin responds varies between individuals and depends on factors such as skin elasticity, age, the treatment area and individual characteristics.
Many people have sufficient skin elasticity for the skin to adapt as body contours change, while others may have some degree of skin laxity, particularly if there has been significant weight loss or reduced skin elasticity.
TruSculpt® uses radiofrequency energy and, in some individuals, may also improve the appearance of skin firmness. However, the degree of improvement varies, and it is not a substitute for surgical treatment where significant loose skin is present.
During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin quality and discuss whether truSculpt® may be appropriate for your concerns, together with its potential benefits, limitations and alternative treatment options where appropriate.
