TruFlex Muscle Toning

TruFlex treatments are well-suited for individuals in good health and typically yield optimal results for this demographic. Moreover, it can be therapeutically applied to individuals contending with back or knee issues resulting from injuries or chronic pain. This versatile treatment is ideal for developing core strength and facilitating increased physical activity. Nurse Rebecca will conduct a comprehensive consultation to determine candidacy, delving into your health and medical history.

In preparation for your session, it's advisable to shave any hair from the targeted treatment areas, maintain proper hydration, and abstain from vigorous physical exercise within 12 hours before your appointment. The treatment commences with your clinician affixing adhesive gel pads to the specified muscle zones and then attaching electrodes to these pads. As the session progresses, you'll experience gentle muscle contractions that gradually intensify, contingent upon your chosen treatment mode. Most patients typically describe the discomfort during truFlex as mild to moderate, and our team actively ensures your comfort throughout the process. It's important to note that truFlex is non-invasive and necessitates no downtime, enabling you to resume your regular activities immediately following the treatment.

You might start noticing results following your second session, with the full extent of the outcomes typically becoming most apparent within 8 to 12 weeks after your final session.

The duration of a single treatment session can range from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the specific treatment plan you choose.

The results typically endure for approximately 12 weeks; additional treatments may be needed to uphold these enhancements. Multiple sessions are typically necessary to achieve the most favourable outcomes. Many of our patients prefer a treatment schedule of two sessions per week over three weeks to reach their desired goals. Our expert staff will thoroughly discuss with you to determine the precise number of sessions needed to maintain your desired results.

The technology uses a unique electrical muscle stimulation method to target specific muscle groups. Its proprietary Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) technology simulates different workouts by replicating intensified twisting, squat and crunch actions. In clinical studies, muscle mass increased by an average of 30%.

Three treatment modes can be used during each session:

• Prep Mode creates a twisting motion to warm up, stretch the muscles and slowly build a tolerance to muscle contractions.
• Tone Mode contracts the muscles, holds them to the point of exhaustion, and then relaxes to increase strength and enhance endurance.
• Sculpt Mode stimulates fast, deep, sequential contractions of the muscles for building muscle mass.

During the treatment, sticky gel pads are placed over the selected muscle groups and electrodes are applied to these pads. As the treatment begins, you will feel a gentle contraction sensation. As the intensity slowly increases, the muscle contraction intensifies. The truFlex® device produces different contraction patterns to stimulate various forms of exercise.

Following your procedure, you may notice tingling in the areas treated for up to a few hours and slight muscle soreness or tenderness for 24-72 hours.

• Three treatment options replicate intensified crunch, squat and twisting actions.
• Clinical studies resulted in an average of 30% muscle mass increase.
• Up to eight areas can be treated in 45 minutes in as little as four sessions. However, treatments spaced at least two days apart and two weekly treatments are ideal.
• Maximum results are visible 8-12 weeks after the last session. Additional treatments may be required to achieve the personalised results you desire.

We all have certain areas that we wish to improve, and we can tailor the plan according to what is desired and the level of initial fitness. Those who are recovering from injury or who have never exercised may wish to have a more extended program, starting more gently.
Meanwhile, those who are already very fit may begin more strongly to really define and stimulate already-impressive muscles. During each treatment, your “Flex trainer” will encourage you to gradually increase the intensity of muscle contractions to get the best result from your treatment.
It is recommended to have two treatments per week for two weeks or three weeks for the longer program and then continue with maintenance treatments after a few months. During this time, you are encouraged to continue your regular diet and fitness regimen.

The treatment mode will depend on your level of fitness. Those who have a low level of fitness or are recovering from injury may start with a preparatory mode, which will gradually get the muscles going, whereas those who are fitter may start with a “tone” mode and then progress to a “sculpt” mode. In all modes, the intensity level will gradually increase through the session according to tolerance.

Before considering truFlex treatments, your clinician will need to know that you do not have any conditions precluding its use, such as:

• Implanted electrical devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators.
• Cardiac arrhythmias.
• Epilepsy.
• Hernia in the region to be treated.

Those who are already lean will be better able to see their muscle definition and size improvements, but all will be able to see improvements in posture and strength. Try combining truSculpt with these treatments to reduce the overlying fat layer and improve their overall result.
