What Can BodyFX Help Treat?
Women and men within a healthy weight range often opt for BodyFX treatments to refine and shape up common trouble spots like the arms, abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs. BodyFX is not intended for overall weight loss but is excellent for targeting specific areas, especially after weight loss or pregnancy. The improvements seen with BodyFX include tightening sagging, lax skin, reducing fat, and smoothing the appearance of cellulite, making it a targeted solution for enhancing body contours.
During your consultation, Dr. Petropoulos will assess if BodyFX is the right treatment for you. Depending on your specific needs, she may suggest alternative non-surgical body contouring options like Vanquish™ or ThermiRF™. For more significant fat reduction, Dr. Petropoulos might recommend SmartLipo™, which is another effective treatment available in her practice. This approach ensures that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan best suited to their body contouring goals.
How Does BodyFX Work?
BodyFX uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and vacuum pressure to reduce fat, smooth cellulite, and tighten skin. Vacuum pressure gently draws the area into the BodyFX hand piece to maximize penetration of the RF energy. RF energy radiates heat into the skin and underlying fat to damage fat cells without harming the skin’s surface. In addition, RF energy increases collagen production in the skin for enhanced firmness over time.
The most noticeable results usually require a series of weekly BodyFX treatments for 6 to 8 weeks. Patients can expect to lose approximately an inch in circumference along with tightening and smoothing of the treated areas.
