Let me start by confessing something that might shock you, especially coming from someone who’s been a beauty editor for over 20 years: I’m a hardcore DIYer. I do my own hair, I pamper myself with home facials, and when it comes to beauty treatments, I’ve always been a firm believer in rolling up my sleeves and doing it myself. But recently, as I was prepping for a long-awaited Bahamas vacation, I had a wake-up call. After months of sitting in an office chair for eight hours a day, skipping workouts, and losing muscle tone, I found myself staring at a body in the mirror that no longer felt like mine. That’s when I decided it was time to step outside my comfort zone and try something new—something that would give me the jumpstart I desperately needed. That something turned out to be truSculpt® flex.
What is truSculpt Flex?
So, what exactly is truSculpt flex? It’s a non-invasive muscle-sculpting treatment that uses Multi-Directional Stimulation (MDS) technology to simulate different types of muscle contractions, effectively toning and strengthening your muscles. Think of it as an intense workout that targets specific muscle groups—but without having to lift a single weight. The treatment is FDA-cleared, and it’s designed to target areas like the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, making it a great option for anyone looking to enhance muscle definition or regain lost tone.
Now, if you’re like me and have a full schedule that doesn’t leave much room for regular gym visits, truSculpt flex could be a game-changer. Whether you’re looking to tone up after a break from exercise, like I was, or simply want to give your fitness routine a boost, this treatment is designed to help you achieve your muscle-sculpting goals with minimal effort.
Typically, a full course of truSculpt flex requires about 4 to 6 sessions, depending on your individual goals and the areas being targeted. Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. The treatment is designed to gradually increase muscle strength and tone over the course of several sessions, with noticeable results often appearing after the full series is completed.
Who is truSculpt Flex Good For?
Before I dive into my personal experience, let’s talk about who truSculpt flex is ideal for. If you’re someone who’s relatively fit but struggling to see muscle definition, or if you’ve taken a break from working out and want to regain your former tone, truSculpt flex could be just what you need. It’s also great for people who are already active but want to target stubborn areas that just don’t seem to respond to regular exercise. However, it’s important to note that truSculpt flex is not a weight-loss treatment. It’s all about muscle sculpting, so if your goal is to shed pounds, this isn’t the solution for you. Instead, think of it as an enhancement to your fitness routine—a way to fine-tune and tone your muscles to achieve that extra bit of definition.
My Personal Experience
I decided to target my buttocks, an area that had suffered the most from my extended hiatus from exercise. I signed up for six sessions at Pincus Plastic Surgery in Smithtown, New York, where I was treated by the incredibly knowledgeable and caring medical aesthetician, Liana Selmonsky. From the moment I walked into the office, I knew I was in good hands. Liana took the time to explain the process in detail, answered all my questions, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way.
The treatment itself is surprisingly straightforward. Small pads are placed on the targeted muscle groups, and the machine starts by delivering a series of mild electrical pulses that stimulate the muscles. It starts off with a gentle tingling sensation, which gradually intensifies as the session progresses. The first time I felt the pulses, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it quickly became clear that this wasn’t going to be painful. In fact, for most of the session, it felt like my muscles were being gently contracted—almost like doing a series of controlled, deep muscle exercises. My sessions only lasted 15 minutes so it all went by really fast.
But here’s the thing—those last four minutes? That’s when it gets real. The intensity ramps up, and it feels like tiny needles pricking your muscles. It’s not unbearable, but it’s definitely the most intense part of the session. I kept reminding myself that this was the burn I’d been missing, the muscle activation that had eluded me for months. And honestly, by the end of each session, I felt like I had just finished an intense workout—minus the sweat, of course. What I really loved about this treatment was there is zero downtime. You walk out feeling totally normal, no pain, no restrictions…the only side effect I noticed was I kept looking in the mirror to see if I noticed a difference. Treatments 1-3, not really, but soon as I hit treatment 4, I was beginning to get very excited.
The Results
So, was it worth it? Absolutely. After completing my six sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in muscle tone and definition in my derriere. The areas that were saggy and jiggly looked –and felt– firmer, tighter, and lifted. (OMG, hi there, glutes!!) It was like the treatment had awakened muscles that had been dormant for the last few years. The results were visible, and more importantly, I felt stronger and more confident. The best part? It wasn’t just about the short-term gains. The treatment gave me the motivation to jump back into a regular fitness routine. I started doing 100 squats a day, joined a gym, and have been dedicated to maintaining my muscle tone ever since.
Did it give me JLo’s jaw-dropping, perfectly round booty? No. But I wasn’t expecting it to. I wanted *my* booty back, the one I had when I worked out 3-4 times a week and didn’t always make excuses that I had no time. And pound for pound, that’s exactly what I got—some much needed (and much missed) muscle tone.
When I finally hit the beaches of the Bahamas for my 52nd birthday, I felt more like my old self—my body from my 30’s. Not because I was chasing some idealized version of myself, but because I felt strong, confident, and comfortable in my own skin. That’s what truSculpt flex gave me—a renewed sense of confidence and a reminder that it’s never too late to reclaim your strength and muscle tone. And a reason to get back to the gym regularly, so I can make sure I maintained my investment.
Is truSculpt Flex Right for You?
If you’re considering truSculpt flex, my advice is to go for it—especially if you’re looking for a non-invasive way to jumpstart your fitness journey or enhance your existing routine. Just remember, this is my personal experience and opinion, and results may vary from person to person. But if you’re anything like me—someone who values the importance of feeling strong and confident in your own skin—then truSculpt flex could be the perfect solution for you.
The treatment is available throughout the country, so you don’t have to travel far to find it. And if you’re in the Smithtown, New York area, I can’t recommend Dr. David Pincus’s office enough. Liana Selmonsky is a gem—her expertise and genuine care made all the difference in my experience. She is also skilled in a variety of beautifying treatments like lip blushing and microneedling, so if you are in the NY area, definitely check her out!
How Much Does truSculpt Flex Cost?
The cost of truSculpt flex can vary depending on the provider and the area being treated, but on average, you can expect to pay around $500 to $1,200 per session. Many clinics offer package deals for multiple sessions, which can help reduce the overall cost. It’s important to consult with your provider to get a personalized treatment plan and a clear understanding of the pricing based on your specific goals.
In the end, truSculpt flex didn’t just give me muscle definition; it gave me back a part of myself that I thought I’d lost, and it totally reawakened my ability to make time for myself and prioritize health and fitness. It was a wise investment for me, and I’m so glad I did it!
