FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BODY FX & MINI FX
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
A typical treatment course consists of 8-10 sessions. Each sessions takes between 30-60 minutes depending on the area being treated. Optional maintenance treatments are available to clients seeking prolonged, enhanced results.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
BodyFx/MiniFx technology utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) energy to penetrate the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue and the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) where the collagen fibers are embedded. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibers and at the same time increases the metabolism of the fibroblasts thereby accelerating the production of new collagen fibers. BodyFx/MiniFx also incorporates a secondary irreversible electroporation (IRE), which destroys fat cells, reducing body circumference.
AM I A CANDIDATE?
BodyFx/MiniFx treatments are suitable for all skin types. However, the extent of the patients’ reaction to treatment is client specific. Candidates who maintain a healthy lifestyle and are near their ideal weight typically show the best results.

- contouring and sculpting of the body
- body circumference reduction

WILL IT HURT?
