Body shape is influenced by several different tissues, including fat and muscle. Where improving underlying muscle definition is the main objective, truFlex can be used independently. Where both localised fat and muscle tone contribute to the concern, truFlex may be combined with truSculpt as part of a personalised treatment plan.
Muscle tone can change with age, periods of inactivity and changes in exercise habits. By creating repeated contractions in targeted muscle groups, truFlex can help condition and strengthen the muscles as part of a course of treatment.
Muscle definition is influenced by muscle size and strength, body composition, genetics and lifestyle. Even people who exercise regularly may find that particular muscle groups are more difficult to develop or define. truFlex provides targeted stimulation to selected muscles to support improved tone, strength and definition.
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.
