Can truSculpt be used on the abdomen if I have a copper IUD?

Question

I have a copper Paragard IUD and have been considering truSculpt on the abdomen. Are these incompatible?

Wesley Anne Brady, MD · Answer

Hi- per protocol, treatment over or in the same area as a metal implant is contraindicated. You would not be an ideal candidate for truSculpt. Best of luck!

Gloria Wright, DO · Answer

TruSculpt ID is a safe treatment for clients with a copper IUD in place. The heat will not radiate down as far as the uterus, but will reside in the fat pad area.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

The RF from TruSculpt doesn't penetrate deep enough to be affected by the IUD. The energy goes into the fat but not beyond the muscle, so it is safe for patients with and IUD.
