Cutera truSculpt is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that utilizes radiofrequency technology to reduce fat and tighten skin. It works by delivering targeted heat to the underlying fat cells, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system.

The quick, 15 minute treatment is comfortable and well-tolerated, with minimal to no downtime required.
