truSculpt® flex – Muscle Sculpting Treatment

 

🔹 PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure a safe and effective truSculpt® flex session, please follow these recommendations:

✅ 1–3 Days Before Treatment:

  • Hydrate well. Drink plenty of water before and after your session.
  • Maintain a consistent diet and exercise routine.
  • Avoid heavy workouts targeting the same muscle groups within 48 hours of treatment.
  • Shave the treatment area if body hair is dense (especially for abdomen or thighs).

🚫 Avoid:

  • Applying lotions, creams, or oils on the treatment area before your appointment.
  • Alcohol and high-sodium foods, which may contribute to dehydration or bloating.

✅ Day of Treatment:

  • Eat a light meal beforehand to avoid dizziness or nausea.
  • Wear comfortable, loose clothing.

Inform your provider if you:

  • Have metal implants, pacemakers, or electronic devices in your body
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have a history of seizures, hernias, or recent surgeries in the treatment area

🔹 POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Most patients experience little to no downtime after truSculpt® flex. However, muscle soreness similar to a post-workout feeling is common.

What to Expect:

  • Muscle soreness, tenderness, or fatigue in the treated areas
  • Possible mild cramping or twitching for a few hours after treatment
  • Occasional redness or warmth in the treated skin (usually resolves within a few hours)

✅ Do:

  • Stay hydrated for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
  • Stretch gently or perform light movement to reduce soreness.
  • Resume normal activities immediately.
  • Use Tylenol (acetaminophen) if discomfort is present (avoid NSAIDs if possible, as they may interfere with the inflammatory muscle-building response).

🚫 Avoid:

  • Heavy strength training of the treated muscles for 48 hours.
  • Saunas, hot tubs, or intense heat exposure if skin irritation occurs.
