Lose 24 percent of the fat with just one 15-minute treatment

By Beth Newcomb

When I sit down with Dr. Laurel Matthews, of Dr. Laurel’s PRP Bar, to discuss her wildly popular fat melting procedure, TruSculpt iD, I reveal that I’ve been dieting and exercising my entire adult life, but since turning 40 still haven’t been able to get rid of some of the fatty areas on my body. She says that’s what makes me a perfect candidate.

“It’s not surgery, and it’s not a magic wand, but it will make a dramatic difference,” she says.

With just one 15-minute treatment, 24 percent of the fat beneath the skin immediately starts releasing itself from the body—permanently. TruSculpt iD is a leading non-surgical method of choice for fat removal, and it’s more effective than freezing or injecting. It requires just one session, with no special aftercare protocol and no downtime.

Naturally, when Dr. Laurel was explaining the process to me I had questions. When it seems as though there is a snake oil remedy for pretty much every cosmetic vanity point a person can have, embracing the technology behind TruSculpt iD might not be easy.

Then I tried it. And, yep, it works.

First, Dr. Laurel maps out the area to be treated. For me, it was my lower abdomen, i.e. my mom pooch. She drew some lines while I rested comfortably on the exam table. She put some double-sided sticky stuff on my belly, which is used to attach the “handpieces” to the skin. She placed the two-by-three-inch squares that were connected to a larger machine next to each other (six to be exact), and told me to relax while she pressed the button.

No special protocol except to drink some extra water, and instructions to be patient because it takes a full 12 weeks to see results.

“TruSculpt is unique in that it not only melts the fat, it also tightens and smooths the skin,” Dr. Matthews explains. “It’s like three treatments in one. You can treat virtually any area of the body, like the arms, abs, back, inner and outer thighs, belly, chin and jawline—anyplace below the face where you have unwanted fat.”
