Body FX FAQS
Am I a good candidate?
Body FX is a great treatment for anyone wanting to reduce stubborn body fat, tighten and sculpt areas and reduce cellulite. This treatment utilizes radiofrequency so patients who have a pacemaker or an implanted electrical device would not be a candidate.
What is the cost?
The price for Body FX treatments varies depending on your areas of concern, the number of sessions needed, and your ultimate goals. We will help create a customized treatment plan, in person, that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget.
How long is each session? How many sessions will I need?
We will help you create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. The length of your session will vary depending on the number of areas being treated during one visit. Each session takes around 20 minutes depending on how long it takes to get the tissue up to temperature. We may schedule additional sessions in order to meet your goals.
How does it work and where does the fat go?
Fat cells are subjected to a pulse of radiofrequency energy once the tissue is at temperature. This creates microscopic holes in the fat cells and triggers a fat cell death. The heat used in the treatment stimulated collagen and elastin, resulting in a tighter, firming looking skin.
What does it feel like?
During the procedure you may experience deep heating sensation like a hot stone massage along with a pulse of energy lasting a few seconds in length.

Are there any side effects?
You may experience a sense of warmth in the treated are for a few minutes to hours after treatment. The skin may feel a bit “wind chapped” in the area treated but this typically subsides within days.
Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?
Yes, you can. The Body FX is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. You can even return to work immediately after your treatment.
When will I see results?
Temporary tightening results can be seen immediately after the treatment due to the deep dermal heating. A series of treatments is recommended for optimal results and final results can be seen as soon as 2 treatments with optimal results seen 8 weeks after the last treatment.
Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?
No supplements or pills are required and you do not have to adopt new diet and exercise habits. Many patients feel more motivated to take care of themselves after their Body FX treatment. It is as if they get a second lease on their body and want to start anew again by taking even better care of themselves.
What happens if I gain weight down the road?
Many people, after seeing the results from their Body FX treatment, take even better care of themselves. However, if you do gain weight, you may gain it evenly all over your body, not just in the treated areas.
