Body contouring
Reduce stubborn fat. Strengthen and define muscle. Refine your shape.
Body contouring is designed to improve specific areas of the body where stubborn fat, reduced muscle tone, or changes in body composition may not respond the way you want to weight loss, nutrition, and exercise alone.
At Precision Medicine & Wellness, we use non-invasive technology to target localized fat and strengthen and condition muscle without surgery or downtime.

What body contouring can do
- 01Reduce localized fat.
truSculpt targets specific areas of unwanted fat to improve body contour. Cutera reports an average 24% fat reduction in treated areas in its clinical data. - 02Strengthen and tone muscle.
truFlex uses targeted electrical muscle stimulation to strengthen, tone, and firm specific muscle groups. - 03Complement medical weight loss.
Weight loss and body contouring do different jobs. As your weight and body composition change, contouring can be used to address specific areas of remaining fat and targeted muscle strength or tone. - 04Support functional strength and rehabilitation.
truFlex also has FDA-cleared rehabilitative uses including muscle re-education, prevention or slowing of disuse atrophy, increasing local circulation, and maintaining or improving range of motion. - 05Treatment is individualized.
truSculpt, truFlex, or a combination of both may be recommended depending on your anatomy, goals, and starting point.
Different goals. Often better together.
Medical weight loss helps reduce overall body weight and body fat. Body contouring focuses on specific areas: reducing localized fat, strengthening targeted muscle groups, and improving shape and definition.
You do not have to wait until you reach your goal weight to begin thinking about body composition.
For patients actively losing weight, including those using GLP-1 medications, body contouring may be incorporated along the way. truFlex can strengthen and condition targeted muscle groups while truSculpt can address areas of localized fat as your body changes.
For patients who have already lost weight, treatment can focus on the areas that still do not look or feel the way you want despite the progress you have made.
Weight loss changes the size of your body. Body contouring helps refine its shape.
truSculpt, truFlex and truBody
truSculpt: reduce localized fat. truSculpt uses radiofrequency energy to heat and treat the fat layer beneath the skin, reducing localized fat and improving contour in targeted areas. It is especially useful for areas of stubborn fat that remain despite weight loss, nutrition, and exercise.
truFlex: strengthen and condition muscle. truFlex uses targeted electrical muscle stimulation to create muscle contractions that strengthen, tone, and firm specific muscle groups. Treatment can be personalized based on your current strength, anatomy, and goals.
truBody: bring the two together. When both fat reduction and muscle conditioning are part of the goal, truSculpt and truFlex can be combined as truBody for a more comprehensive approach to body contouring.
We do not automatically use both treatments on everyone. Your plan is based on what we are trying to change, where we are treating, and what will realistically make a difference for your body.
Non-invasive. No surgery or incisions. No downtime.
Treatment plan and maintenance
Body contouring at Precision Medicine & Wellness is performed as a treatment plan, not as a one-time session.
Your initial series is based on your anatomy, goals, treatment areas, and the combination of technologies being used.
Before you begin, we review the full treatment plan and total investment with you.
After your initial series is complete, we offer a body contouring membership program for patients who want to maintain and build on their results over time.
What to know before treatment
Body contouring is elective, and the right treatment depends on what you are trying to improve. Before moving forward, we review your goals, candidacy, realistic outcomes, potential side effects, alternatives, and the total investment for your treatment plan.
What it may improve
- Improve contour, definition, and muscle tone in targeted areas.
- Reduce localized fat with truSculpt and strengthen and condition targeted muscle groups with truFlex.
- Provide a non-invasive option without surgery or incisions.
- Results develop gradually over several weeks to months as you move through your treatment series.
Risks and limitations
- Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, firmness, or muscle soreness may occur depending on the treatment.
- Results vary from person to person, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
- Body contouring is not a weight-loss treatment, and significant changes in weight can affect your results.
- Results are not permanent without ongoing attention to body composition, lifestyle, and maintenance.
Alternatives
- Resistance training and nutrition to improve overall body composition, strength, and muscle development.
- Medical weight management when overall weight or body-fat reduction is the primary goal.
- Surgical body contouring when a more significant change in fat, skin, or shape is desired.
- Choosing not to treat.
Who may not be a candidate
Certain medical conditions, pregnancy, implanted electronic devices, active infection in the treatment area, and some metal implants may make treatment inappropriate.
Candidacy is assessed individually based on your health history, anatomy, treatment area, and the technology being considered.
Answered before you ask
Is body contouring the same as weight loss?
No. Medical weight loss reduces overall body weight and body fat. Body contouring focuses on specific areas by reducing localized fat and strengthening and conditioning targeted muscle groups.
The two can work together, and body contouring can be incorporated during or after a medical weight loss program.
How many sessions will I need?
Body contouring at Precision Medicine & Wellness is performed as a treatment plan and series, not as a single treatment.
A typical plan may include 6 to 8 truFlex sessions and 2 truSculpt sessions, depending on your anatomy, treatment areas, starting point, and goals.
Your complete treatment plan and total investment are reviewed with you before you begin.
After completing your initial series, we offer a body contouring membership to help maintain and build on your results.
Do I need to be at my goal weight first?
No. Body contouring can be incorporated while you are actively losing weight or after you have reached your goal.
The right timing depends on what we are treating and what you are trying to accomplish.
When will I see results?
Results develop over time rather than all at once.
truSculpt studies have demonstrated measurable fat reduction at approximately 12 weeks after treatment, while changes from truFlex develop as targeted muscle groups are strengthened and conditioned through the treatment series.
Is there downtime?
These are non-invasive treatments with no downtime.
Depending on the treatment, temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, firmness, or muscle soreness may occur.
