BodyFX Fat Loss –  Frequently Asked Questions

BodyFX, offered at SpaMedica GR in Grand Rapids, is the first and only non-invasive body contouring technology proven in peer reviewed and published human studies to both permanently kill adipose tissue (fat loss) and contract the skin. This claim, proven in published, peer reviewed studies on human test subjects, makes BodyFX Fat Loss one of the most important developments in fat loss technology to occur in recent history.

In this article the body sculpting experts at SpaMedicaGR in Grand Rapids answer patients’ have questions about the innovative BodyFX fat loss treatment.

What is BodyFX Fat Loss?

BodyFX Fat Loss is a non-invasive means of permanently killing fat cells, tightening loose skin, and smoothing out cellulite. Using radio frequency technology, BodyFX Fat Loss provides patients in the Grand Rapids, MI area with satisfying, long lasting body contouring results.

Through the BodyFX Fat Loss treatment, patients are able to reap the benefits of medical body contouring without having to undergo risky or painful procedures like liposuction surgery. Individuals looking for a non-surgical means of getting rid of stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise now have a solution in BodyFX.

What areas of the body can be treated with BodyFX Fat Loss?

The BodyFX Fat Loss treatment can be performed on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, legs, and even the so-called “muffin top” (flanks).

And for patients interested in removing fat from smaller treatment areas, such as the neck, arms and knees, the MiniFX fat loss system is available – which is similar to BodyFX Fat Loss but with a hand piece designed to treat smaller areas.

How does BodyFX Fat Loss work?

BodyFX Fat Loss technology uses a gentle vacuum feature to fill a suction cup with fatty tissue from the treatment area. The suctioned tissue then receives evenly-distributed heat and radiofrequency energy to permanently destroy the fat cells in the targeted area.

Clinically proven to permanently destroy fat cells and tighten skin, the BodyFX Fat Loss treatment is performed using a combination of modalities that include deep tissue heating, radio-frequency energy, and vacuum suction.

Using the radiofrequency energy, the skin and fat of the treatment area are heated and contract. Then, through the combination of controlled energy pulses and vacuum suction, the treatment area is contoured to meet the patient’s desired outcome.

Is BodyFX Fat Loss safe?

BodyFX Fat Loss is completely safe. While the procedure entails a series of radiofrequency energy pulses at 1 million cycles per second (a statistic that may seem intimidating at first glance), the patient’s body temperature is constantly monitored throughout the procedure, maintaining a safe, comfortable temperature.

Is BodyFX Fat Loss painful?

Virtually none of our BodyFX Fat Loss patients report experiencing any pain during the procedure. Patients can expect to experience a feeling of warmth to the skin of the treatment area, as well as a gentle pulling sensation. These sensations occur as the vacuum works with the radiofrequency energy to do away with stubborn fat.

At SpaMedicaGR in Grand Rapids, we take great care to ensure the comfort of all of our BodyFX Fat Loss patients. Many of our patients report that BodyFX Fat Loss feels similar to a hot stone massage, and that they are eager to return for their next appointment.

How many sessions of BodyFX Fat Loss are required?

The number of treatments needed will depend upon the amount of fat and the number of areas to be treated in each individual patient.

On average, BodyFX Fat Loss patients receive best results by undergoing weekly sessions spread across a period of eight weeks, but many patients are able to see gradual improvement to the tone and smoothness of their skin after their first few sessions.

While different fat loss goals will require different treatment plans, most patients are able to achieve their desired goals after just 2 to 8 treatments.

Is there downtime or recovery after BodyFX fat loss?

The BodyFX Fat Loss treatment comes with absolutely no downtime, meaning that patients can resume their daily routine the same day as their procedure. After the treatment, patients typically do not report any side effects beyond mild redness and warmth to the touch of the treatment area. Both should subside after a few short hours, and neither should be intense enough to impede one’s ability to carry on about their day.
