Cutera’s truFlex is a non-invasive muscle stimulation treatment designed to strengthen, firm and tone targeted areas of the body with no downtime.

The treatment can be used to improve muscle tone and definition in areas such as the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. truFlex uses Cutera’s Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) technology to deliver controlled electrical impulses to the muscles. These impulses trigger repeated muscle contractions, similar to the natural process that occurs when muscles are activated during exercise.

Treatment can be customised to the individual, with different stimulation modes and intensity levels allowing us to adapt the session according to the muscles being targeted, your starting point and your treatment goals.

A course of treatments is recommended to progressively strengthen and condition the targeted muscles, helping to create a firmer and more defined appearance.

truFlex in Edinburgh

truFlex is a non-surgical body treatment designed for people looking to improve muscle tone, strength and definition without surgery or significant recovery time.

Unlike treatments that primarily target unwanted fat, truFlex works directly with the underlying muscles. This makes it particularly useful when lack of muscle definition is contributing to the appearance of an area.

At The Stockbridge Clinic, truFlex treatments are personalised to your body and goals. A consultation allows us to assess the area you would like to improve and determine whether muscle stimulation alone, or a combination approach to body contouring, would be most appropriate.

Book your consultation at our aesthetics clinic in Edinburgh to find out whether truFlex is suitable for you.

Before and after truFlex treatment

During treatment, applicators are positioned over the selected muscle groups and controlled electrical stimulation causes the muscles to repeatedly contract.

The intensity can be adjusted throughout your appointment. You will feel the muscles contracting and relaxing, similar to the sensation of completing a concentrated workout, but there are no injections, incisions or anaesthetic required.

There is no significant downtime after truFlex, although the muscles may temporarily feel tired or mildly sore following treatment.

At The Stockbridge Clinic, our Stockbridge Muscle Protocol includes a course of six truFlex treatments.

truFlex can also be combined with truSculpt when both unwanted fat and muscle definition are contributing to the treatment area. Our Stockbridge Definition Protocol combines one truSculpt treatment with four truFlex treatments for one area, allowing us to address both fat and underlying muscle as part of the same body contouring plan.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you so much to Dr Ben for my recent treatments at the Stockbridge Clinic. As it was my first time having any aesthetic treatments, I was quite nervous, but he was amazing and listened carefully to what I wanted. My results are very natural and I’m so pleased with them. I would highly recommend Dr Ben, especially for anyone considering treatments for the first time!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Stockbridge Facial Aesthetic Clinic highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. This is a doctor-led clinic, and the team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and clearly have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics and injectable treatments. I felt completely confident and at ease in their hands. The clinic itself is relaxed, welcoming, and such a lovely place to visit  it genuinely feels calm and reassuring the moment you walk in. Everything is explained thoroughly, and the care and attention to detail really set them apart. I would 100% recommend Stockbridge Facial Aesthetic Clinic to anyone considering aesthetic treatments, and I will definitely be back. A truly great clinic and an all-round excellent experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an older woman with a number of age related skin issues, I was self conscious about my skin and nervous about having treatment. However both Dr.Ben and Karen at the Stockbridge clinic took time to really listen to my concerns and explain what would work best for my skin and my age. I felt really taken care of and the whole experience was so relaxing and pleasant. Highly recommend this clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I started seeing Karen for facial laser treatments last year.  Along with our skin being fresher and clearer, she has somehow found a way to make me laugh through less-than-enjoyable hair removal treatments!  She is so knowledgeable and friendly - Highly recommend Karen and Stockbridge Clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to The Stockbridge Clinic for a Laser Genesis treatment with Karen and the results have been amazing. The space is beautiful, the team lovely and my skin has never looked better! For skin or aesthetic treatments in Edinburgh I couldn’t recommend The Stockbridge Clinic more.

Seeing Karen every month is a breath of fresh air. She really cares for her clients and I trust her in helping me manage my skin. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now I have found her.

FAQs

Most anti-wrinkle treatments last 3-4 months. Some advanced treatments, such as jaw slimming for teeth grinding or treatment for excessive sweating, may last 4-6 months or longer, depending on the area treated and individual response.

Not necessarily. Suitability is assessed individually and is not based on reaching a particular level of fitness. Your medical history, current activity levels and the muscles you would like to target will all be considered during consultation.

Potentially, depending on the areas you would like to address. The applicators can be positioned to stimulate selected muscle groups, and your therapist can advise whether treating additional areas would be appropriate for you.

Muscle tone and development are not always completely symmetrical. If you have a noticeable difference between sides, this should first be assessed to understand what is causing it and whether targeted muscle stimulation would be appropriate.

truFlex will not be suitable for everyone. Because the treatment uses electrical muscle stimulation, your medical history and any implanted medical or electronic devices need to be discussed before treatment. A consultation allows the team to identify any contraindications and confirm whether treatment can be carried out safely.
