BodyFX and MiniFX FAQ:

How does RF technology work?

BodyFX and MiniFX use therapeutic levels of heat created by RF energy to destroy fat cells and promote collagen production. When your technician applies RF to an area, it heats the cells in a controlled way without damaging the skin’s surface or your underlying organs. The body naturally responds to this type of heat and cell disruption by destroying and eliminating fat cells from the body and stimulating growth factors that refresh and tighten your skin.

BodyFX gently draws tissue into the chamber by negative pressure. Primary radio-frequency pulses are followed by ultra-short and fast vibrations that travel at 1 million cycles per second. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses work synergistically to heat the skin and underlying fat, causing fat cell apoptosis (cell death) and a boost in collagen synthesis. As a result, tissue contraction and fat cell destruction provide beautiful body-shaping results.

BodyFX is the first and only non-invasive body contouring technology in peer-reviewed and published human studies to kill adipose (fat) tissue and tighten skin permanently.

Clinical Studies have shown:

Histological Studies:

• Fat destruction: 30% of adipocytes (fat cells) in the 2.5 cm treatment zone tested positive for apoptosis.
• Skin tightening: 13.7% average increase in collagen synthesis was noted.

Ultrasound and 3-D Vectra Imaging studies:

• 27% average reduction of fat thickness layer (2.5 cm treatment zone)
• 2.78 cm average reduction of abdominal circumference
• 428 gm average reduction of adipose tissue weight in the targeted area

What is the Pricing of BodyFX and MiniFX treatment?

Package prices range from $1,500 to $2,400 depending on the area/areas to be treated. During the consultation, a precise quote is given when your provider can hear your concerns and assess the body area you want to address with BodyFX or MiniFX.

Am I a candidate for BodyFX and MiniFX treatment?

BodyFX and MiniFX are suitable for most healthy adults. If you have stubborn fatty tissue, loose skin, and prefer a non-surgical approach, BodyFX and MiniFX could be great options. BodyFX and MiniFX are not weight loss solutions and are designed to enhance your journey to a healthier lifestyle by addressing resistant areas of your body.

Which areas of the body can be treated using BodyFX and MiniFX?

BodyFX and MiniFX can treat almost any part of the body. BodyFX is most frequently used to treat the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, legs, back, arms, and buttocks. MiniFX is used for smaller areas, such as under the chin and neck.

How long is each treatment?

The duration of a treatment session depends on the size and the number of areas being treated. Sessions can run from 30 minutes for one small area to 3 hours for a large area or several areas being treated on the same day.

How many sessions are required?

It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over a 6–8-week period. Gradual improvements in the treatment area can be seen following the first few treatments – with the skin’s surface feeling smoother and softer immediately. Even after the last session, the body continues eliminating dead fat cells through the lymphatic system, and the skin keeps tightening. Final results manifest about two months after the completion of the last treatment.

How safe is the treatment?

BodyFX has built-in thermal temperature monitoring, which allows for ongoing and accurate readings that are constantly monitored during the treatment to prevent overheating and injury.

What should I expect during my treatment, and will it hurt?

Most clients find BodyFX and MiniFX comfortable. During the procedure, your technician will move the device in a stamp-like motion focusing on each small area for about 15-20 minutes. The device uses vacuum to draw the skin in. As radiofrequency passes through the tissue, you will feel gentle pulling, warmth, and a slight tingling sensation. Occasionally heat becomes more intense. Please let your technician know; she will promptly adjust the settings and ensure your comfort.

What kind of post-procedure care is required?

There is no downtime for BodyFX. Patients will notice redness and warmth in the treated area, which will subside after a few hours. This warmth is equivalent to the sensation felt after a deep tissue massage and will not prevent anyone from their regular activities. Sometimes redness may persist for 1-2 days in the areas with more delicate skin, such as the neck and under the chin. Do not try to cool down or further warm up the treatment area at home. Avoid scrubbing or scratching your skin, and keep it moisturized. We recommend staying well-hydrated (6-8 glasses of water daily) to facilitate the elimination of dead fat cells from your body.

Can BodyFX and MiniFX be combined with other treatments?

BodyFX and MiniFX can be combined with other treatments such as Forma or Forma Plus and Morpheus8 to enhance the sculpting effect by addressing skin laxity and uneven tone at a deeper level.
