What doctors are qualified to administer TruSculpt ID?

Question

Can you get TruSculpt ID from a med spa or nurse at a doctor's practice?

James Mirabile, MD, FACOG · Answer

The truSculpt iD device is the only non-invasive body sculpting device that causes a 24% average reduction in fat in just 15 minutes!  Even better, there is minimal if any discomfort and patient's report a hot rock massage type of feeling.  Be certain you're provider has been trained by Cutera and certified with this device for optimal results.
Best to you!

You always want to ensure that you go to a reputable office with appropriate qualifications. Licensed laser technicians are legally able to administer a Trusculpt treatments, but should have oversight by a medical provider.

Timothy Abrahamson, MD · Answer

With all cosmetic therapies, I strongly encourage the involvement of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon as this has relevance to underlying formal training.   My state of Iowa has very lax regulations and minimal oversight.   In Iowa, sadly, less training equals less oversight.   Some laser centers and spas in Iowa have little to no physician oversight and even when they do, it often time is in name only.        In some areas of Iowa, no physician oversees the operation of medical devices including lasers and radiofrequency devices.  These devices have nothing to do with the training of dentists, family practice, pediatricians, gynecologists, or the general public without any medical training.  Yet, all of these subgroups have operated Lasers, IPL, Radiofrequency Devices, Fillers, Botulinum Therapy, Kybella in the State of Iowa.

I strongly recommend having medical procedures done in the office of a quality-trained dermatologist or plastic surgeon.  Anyone (even a non-physician with NO MEDICAL TRAINING) can buy a laser or medical device. Most certifications for lasers and medical devices are NOT standardized and are designed to show a basic understanding of how to operate a device (think starting a car).  This doesn't mean they understand the use of the device or how to handle complications.   Using the car analogy, knowing how to start the car and run the accelerator and the brake doesn't mean you know how to drive safely or appropriately.    Always make sure a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon has an ACTIVE and VISBILE presence at the site you are having the procedure done.

Trusculpt can be performed by a physician, nurse practitioner, or another spa or medical assistant who is trained by Cutera. All assistants must be under the supervision of a physician or PA..It uses radio frequency to melt felt and stimulate collagen. It has few side effects and is very comfortable.

Scott C. Grevey, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, 
TruScuplt provides proven results for fat reduction and can take as little as 15 mins to perform in-office with no anesthesia or downtime. This procedure can be delegated to staff with proper training by Cutera.  I would however, recommend  to ensure  physician is supervising your care. 
Best,
