BodyFX™ Body Contouring

Third Generation Body Contouring with Apoptosis (Fat Death), Contraction and Cellulite Improvements

What is BodyFx™?

BodyFx™ is a new type of non-invasive system that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, remove fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

How does it work?

BodyFX™ uses a combination of vacuum and radiofrequency energy to gently tighten the skin and fibrous attachments that result in cellulite. BodyFx™ also uses short bursts of high voltage energy to disrupt the wall of the fat cell resulting in their eventual permanent death.

Is it FDA Approved?

Yes. BodyFx™ is FDA approved and has been shown to result in the circumferential reduction of fat and a more toned body. BodyFX™ is also effective on cellulite. Most patients lose about a cup of fat with an average treatment.

What is the Recovery Time?

There is no downtime with BodyFx™. Most patients find the treatment entirely comfortable.   BodyFx™ works gradually to reduce fat and tighten skin. It is best suited to treat stubborn areas of fat or cellulite by tightening the overlying skin. On average, about 6-8 weekly treatments are required. Each treatment takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Who is a candidate for the BodyFX™ fat reduction procedure?

The best candidates for BodyFX™ are patients who have unwanted stubborn areas of excess body fat, including the upper arms, back and bra line area, the flanks, the hips, the upper and lower abdomen, the outer and inner thigh and the inner knee.  BodyFX™ treatments are best suited for individuals that want a permanent, noticeable and modest reduction in fat without undergoing traditional liposuction surgery.  BodyFX™ also addresses slightly loose skin over the area of unwanted excess fat, as well as cellulite.  BodyFX™ is one of the only body contouring devices that simultaneously tightens skin and reduces localized fat.
