BodyFX Body Contouring is a long lasting, non-invasive solution to reduce fat and the appearance of cellulite. BodyFX Body Contouring will reshape your body to provide a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. It is ideal for patients who want to improve the appearance of their body without surgery or downtime. BodyFX Body Contouring is the perfect solution to get rid of your mommy tummy or muffin top, and improve your general body contour.

BodyFX Body Contouring is best suited to treat stubborn areas of fat. The result is not just a reduction of fat, but also a remodeling of the skin for optimal body sculpting.

Treatment areas include Abdomen, Back, Flanks, Butt, Arm, Leg and Neck. No Anesthesia, scarring, or downtime. Since BodyFX Body Contouring is administered by hand, almost any area of concern can be treated.  Our Beverly Hills clinic offers free consultations, book an appointment to find out if you’re a good candidate.

BodyFX Body Contouring offered at our Beverly Hills location uses a combination of clinically proven modalities including radio-frequency energy, deep tissue heating, and suction coupled negative pressure. Radio-Frequency provides precise and optimal heating of the skin for reduction, contraction and body shaping. The radio-frequency energy distributes heat to the skin and underlying fat, causing the tissues to heat and contract. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses then work synergistically to provide beautiful body shaping results.

BodyFX Body Contouring is FDA approved and since the treatment is non-surgical there is no need for anesthesia.

BodyFX Body Contouring has been proven to result in the circumferential reduction of fat in peer reviewed clinical studies. Individual results may vary and it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle during treatment. In our Beverly Hills clinic, nearly every patient receiving treatment considered it successful.  Clinical studies show 30% adipocyte (fat cell) apoptosis at a 2.5 cm depth and new collagen synthesis (neocollagenesis) of 13.7%

During treatment you can expect a warming of your skin and gentle pulling sensation as the radio-frequency and vacuum work to smooth out unwanted stubborn pockets of fat. The best way to think of how this feels is through two processes: heat and massage. Most patients in our Beverly Hills Clinic find BodyFX Body Contouring comfortable. You may notice some slight redness in the treated area post treatment.

The skin’s surface will feel smoother and softer instantly. Results for skin tightening and fat loss see gradual improvements in the treatment area following the first few treatments and peak at 6-8 weeks post treatment.
