TruSculpt ID Did Nothing for Me. It Was a Bust. $1,400 Down the Drain.

I am 44 years of age. On April 6th I had TruSculpt ID done on my abdominals. I didn’t have much fat to lose. I really just wanted to lose a tiny bit of fat so that my abdominals would look more defined. I went to GloMedspa in Scottsdale, AZ for my TruSculpt ID treatment and Caroline (esthetician) was my provider. Ordinarily, the charge for this treatment at GlowMedspa in Scottsdale, AZ is $400 per paddle and you can use up to 6 paddles at a time. I used 4 paddles on my lower and upper middle abs. I had a 10% of internet sign-up, so I spent approximately $1,400 on my treatment (plus tip to be nice, foolishly). 

I was told the treatment would be very tolerable, not painful and that I should get GREAT results. I was so excited. I was asked if I had any metal in my body, I confirmed that I did not, the pads were then put in place, I lay down, and treatment began. The treatment hurt like hell. I felt like I was being burned and could barely stand it. Caroline, my esthetician said if I could stand the heat, that is how one gets the BEST results, but one has to be able to stand it for the treatment to really work. So, I hyper focused and just breathed through it. I noticed that my skin felt the most pain where the edges of the paddles were. It was just shy of unbearable. It was definitely not comfortable or pain-free. 

Today is June 30th, I am one week shy of when I was supposed to be seeing amazing results and my stomach has only increased in size. I exercise at least 5 days per week and eat a clean plant-based diet… a LOT of greens; plain asparagus, broccoli, sweet potatoes (no butter on these), salads, etc. I’m now wondering if I have scar tissue or something internal going on as a result of this procedure. I don’t even know how I would determine that. 

What I do know is zero inches were lost, inches were gained. My stomach did not have a substantial amount of excess fat to begin with, I posted a photo of my stomach the day of my treatment on April 6th below. I have never had a real issue with weight. I was hoping for great results because I endured the pain of the heat and was at a good starting point. I regret having TruSculpt ID done. It was a waste of money for me. I hope I can help you save yours. 

TruSculpt ID was painful, a waste of time and cash, unfortunately, and I am worse off than before I had this treatment done. My stomach went from flat to poochy. I feel like a lot of devices/ treatments make empty promises and the most effective results are gained by having a surgical procedure. I should have left my stomach alone, it was fine, I just believed the hype that TruSculpt ID could get rid of that last little bit to help me achieve the definition that I wanted. Smoke in mirrors.
