At RenuYou MedSpa, we are dedicated to providing the most advanced and effective body contouring treatments to help our clients achieve their aesthetic and wellness goals. Our Ames location is proud to offer TruSculpt iD by Cutera, a state-of-the-art non-invasive fat reduction treatment designed to eliminate stubborn fat, sculpt the body, and enhance overall contours.
Unlike other body contouring technologies, TruSculpt iD utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to permanently destroy fat cells while simultaneously tightening the skin. This makes it a perfect solution for both fat loss and skin firming, delivering noticeable, long-lasting results with no downtime.
TruSculpt iD is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to target and permanently destroy fat cells in specific areas of the body.
Step-by-Step Process:
-
RF Energy Penetrates Deep into Fat Layers – The applicators deliver radiofrequency heat energy deep into the fat layer, raising the temperature to a level that destroys fat cells while keeping the surrounding skin and tissues safe.
-
Fat Cells are Destroyed and Eliminated – The heat selectively breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body over the next 8 to 12 weeks.
-
Simultaneous Skin Tightening – Unlike other fat-reduction treatments that may leave loose skin, TruSculpt iD also stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, tighter skin in the treated areas.
Treatment Benefits:
✔ Permanently eliminates up to 24% of fat in treated areas
✔ No pain, no surgery, and no downtime
✔ Treats larger areas at once with multiple applicators
✔ Skin tightening and contouring effects for a smoother appearance
✔ Quick sessions—only 15 minutes per treatment area
TruSculpt iD Treatment Areas
TruSculpt iD can be used to target stubborn fat in multiple areas, including:
✔ Abdomen & Love Handles – Ideal for reducing belly fat and sculpting the waistline.
✔ Thighs & Saddlebags – Helps slim down and contour the inner and outer thighs.
✔ Arms & Underarm Fat – Reduces unwanted fat in the upper arms.
✔ Back & Bra Fat – Targets excess fat in the upper and lower back.

TruSculpt iD for the Chin & Jawline
At RenuYou’s Ames location, we also offer TruSculpt iD’s specialized chin and jawline treatment to help reduce submental (under-chin) fat and contour the jawline for a more sculpted appearance.
How the TruSculpt iD Chin Applicator Works:
✔ Uses a smaller, precise applicator designed specifically for the delicate under-chin area.
✔ Delivers the same RF energy to permanently destroy fat cells under the chin.
✔ Simultaneously tightens the skin, helping to improve jawline definition and reduce sagging.
✔ Quick and comfortable—sessions last about 15 minutes with no downtime.
✔ Results develop over 8-12 weeks, with continued improvement as the body naturally eliminates fat cells.
Who is a Good Candidate for TruSculpt iD Chin Treatments?
-
Individuals with mild to moderate excess fat under the chin.
-
Those looking for a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or Kybella.
-
Anyone who wants a more defined, contoured jawline without downtime.
A More Effective Body Sculpting Treatment than CoolSculpting®
TruSculptID uses radiofrequency energy to heat fat located below the skin, irreversibly injuring a portion of the fat cells. These damaged fat cells are then absorbed by the body over a period of six to twelve weeks.
People may have seen advertisements for CoolSculpting®, a machine which injures fat cells by freezing rather than heating. While this also works to decrease the thickness of the fatty layer, heating with radiofrequency has the advantage of causing shrinkage and tightening of the skin. Freezing cannot do this. Thus, the truSculpt iD results appear smoother and more even.
Patients may expect an average 24% reduction in the thickness of the fatty layer in the areas treated. The body sculpting treatment is comfortable with no anesthesia required and no down time afterwards.
