How quickly will I see results?
Results are seen almost immediately after the first treatment for fat and cellulite, while skin tightening effects take more time and reach a peak at 6 to 12 months. Gradual improvements in the treatment area can be seen following the first few treatments with the skin’s surface feeling smoother and softer instantly.
How much downtime?
There is little to no downtime and patients may resume their daily activities immediately after completing a treatment. The most reported side effects from some patients are that they may see slight redness in the treated area, which will subside within a few hours.
Am I a Good Candidate?
BodyFX is ideal for patients who want to improve the appearance of their skin without surgery or downtime. However, while it may serve as a good non-surgical alternative to liposuction, it is not intended to be used as a weight loss treatment and it is important to have a realistic understanding of what this treatment may achieve.
A consultation with our team is the best way to determine if this treatment is a good fit for you and your goals. As a series of treatments may be necessary to achieve the best results, we can also help you develop your customized treatment plan.
What Should I Expect During Treatment?
Each treatment takes about 90 minutes and is often described as feeling like a hot stone massage. Using a cool, clear gel, the heated handpiece is smoothed over the treatment area in small, concentrated passes, heating the area until a specific temperature is reached and maintained.

Is BodyFX Safe?
BodyFX only targets your fat (not your skin and underlying organs) by matching the thermal energy it delivers to your skin to precisely the impedance range of your fat tissue. To maximize your comfort, your body’s temperature is constantly monitored, with ongoing accurate feedback of the skins temperature.
