Clinical studies have show that 43.5 is the treatment temperature that causes fat cell death and improved skin quality. I usually try to keep the temperature between 43.5-44 and at the same time make sure my patients are comfortable. Taking the temperature any higher does not get you more results. The areas you are concerned about are great areas to treat with Trusculpt ID.

Wesley Anne Brady, MD · Answer

Therapeutic temperature is between 43.0-44.5. Once your tissue temperature is within that range then you are receiving benefit from the treatment. At no point should the temperature be so hot that it's not bearable. Best of luck!

Craig S. Rock, MD, FACS · Answer

Clinical studies have shown that a temperature of 43.5 is effective at causing permanent destruction of fat cells as well as skin tightening.  There is no evidence that a higher temperature will be more effective.Best wishes.

James Mirabile, MD, FACOG · Answer

Studies demonstrate that the ideal temperature is 43.5C  for the best results of apoptosis (fat cell death) and skin tightening.  Higher temperatures do not improve the results and only will cause more discomfort during the procedure.  Best of Health To You!

Timothy Abrahamson, MD · Answer

While benefits can be found in lower settings, the goal of therapy is to get up to 43-44.5 degrees C for at least 5 minutes.

Patients could see the benefit at lower settings but studies used primary endpoints of 43 to 44.5 degrees Celsius for at least 5 minutes.

If someone is very anxious or known low pain threshold, then topical anesthetics or benzodiazepines can be used. Need to know in advance.
