"With truSculpt, we can smooth fat and temporarily improve the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs, and we're using it for stubborn fat in other areas as well," says Dr. Stevens, medical director of Marina Plastic Surgery and founder of The Institute. "After just one or two sessions, patients are seeing great results with volume reduction, smoother skin and less dimpling." The procedure, which takes about an hour, uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat fat cells deep below the surface of the skin. The heat helps shrink fat cells and promotes skin contraction. This leads to a smoother, slimmer contour in the treated area. "Because the treatment is gentle, the results appear gradually," Dr. Stevens says. "The RF energy stimulates the release of trapped fat and the contraction of tissue beneath the skin. Because truSculpt triggers the body's natural smoothing and shrinking process, the final results are always going to look natural and genuine." "The patient will feel a warm-to-hot sensation on the skin during treatment," says Dr. Michelle Spring, co-medical director at The Institute. "The temperature can be adjusted to match each individual's heat tolerance, so no pain or discomfort is necessary for the treatment to work effectively." As a result, side effects are extremely mild. Some patients experience temporary swelling or redness of the treated area after truSculpt, but no recuperation time is necessary. Most people are ready to return to their normal activities immediately. Patients begin to see results in about four weeks following the treatment, with more change taking place gradually over a period of about three months. In addition to truSculpt, Marina Plastic Surgery offers many other options for cellulite treatment, from noninvasive treatments to the minimally invasive Cellulaze™. This exciting new treatment uses laser energy to stimulate collagen production while releasing the bands of fibrous tissue beneath the skin that pull down and cause the dimpling associated with cellulite.
