FAQS truSculpt

Many non-surgical body contouring treatments focus on a single mechanism – freezing, heating or disrupting fat cells – and then rely on the body to manage the aftermath alone.

truSculpt uses controlled monopolar radiofrequency energy to disrupt fat cells in a predictable, measured way. At Cosmetica, this is combined with physiotherapist-led lymphatic support, helping the body process fat, fluid, and inflammation more efficiently.

The difference isn’t just the technology – it’s how the body is supported afterwards.

CoolSculpting and similar technologies rely on cold-induced fat cell damage. Some patients find these treatments uncomfortable and experience prolonged tenderness or swelling.

truSculpt uses heat-based RF energy, which many patients find more comfortable. More importantly, Cosmetica’s Body Reset Protocol actively supports recovery and fat processing through structured lymphatic drainage – something typically missing from other approaches.

Once fat cells are disrupted, the lymphatic system plays a key role in clearing cellular debris, managing inflammation, and regulating fluid.

Without support, this process can feel slow or uncomfortable. Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps the body move through change more smoothly, improving comfort and refining visible results.

This step is not an add-on at Cosmetica – it is central to how results are achieved.

truSculpt is not designed to replace surgery, but it offers a non-surgical alternative for patients who want refinement without the risks, downtime, or recovery associated with procedures like liposuction.

Surgery involves anaesthesia, tissue trauma, and recovery. truSculpt is non-invasive, requires no downtime, and works gradually with the body, making it suitable for patients who prefer a measured, lower-intervention approach.

Suitability for either option is always individual and discussed during consultation.

truSculpt is a body contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution.

It is designed to reduce localised fat deposits and improve shape and definition. Many patients notice their clothes fit differently, rather than seeing significant changes on the scales.

Because that is how long the body typically needs to process fat disruption, reduce inflammation, and stabilise tissue change.

Offering truSculpt as a protocol allows for:

• Better physiological support
• Improved comfort
• More consistent outcomes

We prioritise outcomes over speed.

There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal activity immediately. Some may experience temporary warmth, mild tenderness, or redness, which usually settles quickly.

Changes develop gradually. Many patients begin to notice visible refinement within 8-12 weeks, with improvements continuing as the body completes the clearing process.

truSculpt uses clinically supported RF technology and has FDA clearance in the US for non-invasive lipolysis and body contouring indications. Devices used in the UK comply with applicable medical device regulations.

At Cosmetica, treatments are delivered under a medically informed, physiotherapist-led model, prioritising safety and appropriate patient selection.

truSculpt may not be suitable if you are pregnant, have certain implanted medical devices, or have specific medical conditions. A full consultation is required to assess suitability.

Fat cells that are disrupted and cleared through truSculpt do not regenerate in that area.

If overall weight is gained, remaining fat cells elsewhere in the body can still expand – but this does not cause fat to grow back unevenly or in a lumpy way in treated areas.

truSculpt is a body contouring treatment, not a guarantee against future weight change. Maintaining results depends on overall lifestyle and health.

When properly selected and supported, truSculpt does not cause permanent unevenness or lumpiness.

Temporary firmness or swelling can sometimes occur after treatment due to inflammation or fluid retention – not fat regrowth. This is one reason Cosmetica includes physiotherapist-led Manual Lymphatic Drainage, to support smooth clearing and refined contouring.

Yes.

Surgical fat removal physically removes fat cells but also involves tissue trauma, scarring and recovery. In some cases, uneven healing can contribute to contour irregularities.

truSculpt is non-invasive and works gradually with the body’s natural processes, reducing the risk of structural irregularities when delivered within a medically structured protocol.

The first step is a consultation to assess suitability and discuss your goals. From there, a personalised Body Reset Protocol is created.
