Visible muscle definition can be challenging to achieve even with regular, aggressive workouts. Your muscles may not develop at the rate you imagined, or may not have reached the level of firm, visible definition, strength and growth. It is now possible with our advanced system, the truFlex. Experience the muscle sculpting difference in Toronto at the Canadian Dermatology Centre.
What is truFlex?
truFlex stimulates the muscles with energy emitted from a handpiece, triggering ultra-rapid muscle contractions. The muscle contractions are far more intense than you could achieve voluntarily and can produce a remarkable improvement in muscle definition. truFlex can enhance muscle tone, strengthening the muscles beneath your skin to tone and firm the abdominals, buttocks, and thighs. Several muscle groups can be targeted in a single treatment.
How does truFlex work?
The truFlex system has three different treatment modes to deliver MDS (multi-directional stimulation) technology. The targeted areas of your body will be triggered through three distinct phases:
- Prep Mode: Twisting muscle contractions are stimulated in the prep phase, similar to the motions of a warm-up.
- Tone Mode: This mode stimulates muscle contractions similar to performing squats so rapidly that the muscles reach a point of exhaustion, leading to increased muscle strength and foster greater endurance.
- Sculpt Mode: In this mode, the muscles are stimulated to deep, sequential contractions, similar to muscle building workouts, triggering the growth of new muscle fibers.
How is truFlex different from EmSculpt?
truFlex employs electrical stimulation, rather than electromagnetic muscle stimulation. The difference is significant, as electromagnetic energy causes contractions in a single direction, and truFlex triggers a multi-directional type of contractions, for a superior result. With the truFlex system, more areas can be treated at once, with visible changes in muscle mass, tone, and definition after six treatments 45 minutes long, spaced once to twice a week.
Am I a candidate for truFlex treatments?
If you have worked hard to achieve a firm, fit body but have been unable to achieve “cut” muscle definition or the increased muscle mass you envision, you are likely a good candidate for this groundbreaking treatment.
Ideal truSclupt flex patients are in good general health and have particular areas of concern. There are no skin type restrictions for truFlex treatments, however it is contraindicated for patients with:
- Pacemakers, defibrillators and other implanted metal or electric devices
- Epilepsy
- Cancerous lesions
- Acute trauma or fracture
- Recent surgical procedures
- Abdominal or inguinal (of the groin) hernia
- Critical ischemia (inadequate blood supply) of lower limbs
- Blood flow deficiencies/venous thrombosis
Non-invasive muscle sculpting with truFlex
Modern medical science has led to the development of truFlex, a groundbreaking treatment for muscle mass building, core strengthening, and to create a more attractive body shape. The muscle sculpting technology of truFlex can help you achieve a firmer, more attractive physique in six sessions.
What is it like to undergo truFlex treatments?
The truFlex system is different from all others of its type, as eight areas of your body can be treated simultaneously. The treatment devices will be placed on the area to be treated. The muscles to be strengthened and toned will be moved through the three phases of treatment, with the ability to reverse the direction of the contractions - a significant difference in how the truFlex system works.
The treatment is not painful, although you will feel the rapid muscle contractions, which may feel unusual at first. At the Canadian Dermatology Centre, we make every session with us a pleasure and work with each patient individually. Our team of professionals has been hand-selected for their advanced skills and training, along with their dedication to providing a superior patient experience.
What are the benefits of truFlex?
If you have dedicated hours and hours of your time to workouts and still not achieved the muscle definition, tone, and increased muscle mass you wanted, you will be thrilled with the benefits of truFlex treatments at the Canadian Dermatology Centre. The benefits include:
- Non-invasive
- Each session takes 45 minutes to complete
- 33 percent increase in muscle mass after a series of treatments
- Painless
- Effective
- Produces greater muscle definition
What body areas can be enhanced with truFlex?
Several areas of your body can be treated in a single session:
- Abdomen
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Quads
- Hamstrings
- Calves
The 3 truFlex treatment modes:
Bio-electrical muscle stimulation results in greater treatment efficacy. The algorithm in truFlex simulates 5 different workouts that are delivered in 3 treatment modes, with workouts that replicate intensified squat, crunch and twisting actions:
Prep mode is usually only required for non-active patients during the first two treatments. Prep mode creates a twisting motion to slowly build up a tolerance for muscle contractions by warming and stretching the muscles.
Tone mode contracts muscles, holds them to the point of exhaustion and then relaxes them to increase strength and endurance.
Sculpt mode creates fast, deep, sequential contractions of the muscles for building up muscle mass.
Recovery from truFlex - what to expect?
There is little to no recovery time associated with truFlex treatments. You can expect to feel some muscle soreness as if you had engaged in a very aggressive workout. Imagine having the body you want, with increased muscle mass, increased muscle strength, and achieve higher levels of muscle definition.
For the best truFlex post-operative experience:
- Drink plenty of water
- Don't exercise muscles in the treatment area for up to 12 hours before the procedure
- Shave the treatment area if needed
Post-treatment, you may experience:
- Muscle contraction
- Frequent urination or bowel stimulation
- Tingling in area(s) treated for a few hours
- Slight muscle soreness or tenderness for 24-72 hours after procedure
- Increased metabolic rate resulting in hunger. Please be aware of this and do not overeat
