If you’ve been working out and eating a healthy diet, but you still find yourself dealing with unwanted, stubborn pockets of fat, you might be frustrated about trying to find an effective way to tone and trim your body. Body contouring in Tampa, also called body sculpting, is a non-surgical solution to this problem.

What Is Body Contouring?

Body contouring in Tampa eliminates unwanted fat, tightens skin, and contours targeted areas of the body that can often be troublesome when it comes to creating a fit, shapely physique. Body contouring isn’t about losing weight, although it can help with that. Instead, it focuses on reshaping the body and slimming specific, targeted areas that won’t respond to diet and exercise. Bay Area Modern Medical Center performs cutting-edge body contouring using three innovative technologies: TruSculpt, TruFlex, and TruBody.

TruBody

TruBody is an innovative body sculpting treatment that combines truSculpt and truFlex technologies. TruSculpt focuses on reducing fat by using targeted radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells. TruFlex, on the other hand, is designed for muscle toning, using electrical muscle stimulation to enhance muscle strength and definition. This combination offers a comprehensive approach to body contouring, effectively reducing fat and toning muscles.

TruSculpt

TruSculpt is a non-invasive body contouring that reduces unwanted fat. It utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat and eliminate fat cells in targeted areas. The RF energy penetrates deep into the skin, selectively affecting fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. This results in a reduction of fat and an improvement in body contours. TruSculpt treatments are typically comfortable, with no downtime, making them a convenient option for body sculpting.

TruFlex

TruFlex is a part of the truBody treatment system, focusing on muscle toning and strengthening. It utilizes electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology to target specific muscle groups. During a TruFlex session, electrodes are placed on the skin, delivering controlled electrical pulses to stimulate muscle contractions. This process helps in enhancing muscle tone and strength, complementing the fat reduction achieved by truSculpt.

What Should I Expect During the Body Contouring Treatment?

Your first step will be a thoughtful consultation at Bay Area Modern Medical Center, where we use the innovative, non-surgical truBody device to shape and contour your body. We will examine you, discuss your concerns, and walk you through the procedure. Depending on whether you need fat reduction, muscle toning, or both, we’ll select the appropriate modality.

truBody treatments last an hour or less. Many patients achieve their most ideal results in 4-6 treatments given in 4-6 week intervals. We will discuss this with you during your consultation, as the number of treatments that will be best for you depends on the areas you want to contour.

How TruSculpting Is Done

During a truSculpting treatment, the handpiece is moved gently over your body, which feels warm but comfortable. The device transmits radiofrequency pulses into your body. The RF energy heats and destroys the fat cells (other cells are not affected). Your body naturally flushes out the dead fat cells during the following weeks. Patients lose an average of 24% of the excess fat per treatment area, with optimal results usually visible after 12 weeks.

How TruFlexing Is Done

During a truFlexing treatment, the provider will attach a series of electrodes over the targeted muscle groups. When activated, the device delivers electrical stimulations to induce contractions equivalent to 54,000 crunches within 15 minutes. The provider adjusts the device according to 5 different types of workouts. Patients generally report a 30% increase in muscle mass after a series of truFlex treatments, with optimal results visible after 4-6 sessions.

Skin Tightening & Cellulite Treatment

At Bay Area Modern Medical Center, we also use truSculpt to help you combat loose skin and frustrating cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fibrous cords that are connected to the muscle beneath. As fat accumulates and age thins the skin, the cords pull downward, and cellulite dimples appear.

truSculpt strengthens and thickens the skin by heating the deep tissues, causing the overlying skin to thicken and firm, which makes it significantly more resistant to the pull of the cords that cause cellulite. When the skin is weak, cellulite is most apparent. truSculpt solves this problem because the RF triggers collagen production and makes the skin stronger and firmer.

Your body will take 1-2 months to build new, firmer, and tighter skin.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

The truBody device can be used to treat a number of areas.

Double chin and jawline
Upper arms
Abdomen and flanks
Buttocks
Inner and outer thighs
Knees

Am I A Candidate for Body Contouring?

Most men and women are candidates for body contouring with truBody. In fact, it is the first body contouring treatment of its kind for people with a higher BMI (above 30). truBody can be used for people with any skin type or color who would like to slim and contour their body, reduce cellulite, and achieve tighter, smoother skin. Ideal candidates for body contouring in Tampa meet the following requirements:

Do not have cardiac pacemakers or internal defibrillators
Have no tumors (malignant or benign) in the treatment area
Have no metallic implants in the target area
Are not pregnant

Recovery

Side effects of the truBody body contouring treatment usually fade within a few hours. These side effects may include swelling, redness, and tenderness. However, you can return to your normal activities immediately after your treatment. Many patients go back to work as soon as their treatment is complete. You will be able to see some results after about four weeks, but the final results are the most apparent after 12 weeks.
