InMode BodyFX Cellulite Treatment

InMode BodyFX FAQs at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center

• What is InMode BodyFX?

  For the best noninvasive alternatives to liposuction, look no further than BodyFX by InMode. With this treatment, you get rid of fat and cellulite and tighten your dermis!

• How Does BodyFX Work?

  BodyFX is a revolutionary treatment that improves your skin’s blood circulation and disperses heat to the deep tissue. Negative pressure helps attach skin-tight, uniform heating over the dermis with RF electrodes for a more even application of energy!

• How Much Does BodyFX Cost?

  The cost of a BodyFX treatment widely depends on the area you choose to treat and the number of sessions you need. Sessions range from $300 to $1,000. Contact Us today to find out more about how BodyFX can help you.

• How Long Does BodyFX Last?

  Fat and cellulite will be reduced after the first treatment, but skin tightening effects take longer. By six months into your routine of treatments, you should notice that your skin has become smoother with fewer wrinkles.

• Is BodyFX Better Than CoolSculpting?

  CoolSculpting targets and destroys fat while also reducing cellulite. If you want to tighten your skin to remove any signs or presence of unwanted body fats, BodyFX is the best treatment!

• How Many Treatments of BodyFX are Required?

  It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over 6-12 treatments to achieve desired results.

• How Quickly Will I See Results With BodyFX?

  Results are seen after the first treatment for fat and cellulite, while skin tightening effects take longer and peak at 6-12 months. Gradual improvements in the treatment area can be seen following the first few treatments, with the skin surface feeling smoother and softer immediately.

• How Safe is BodyFX?

  A series of RF energy is delivered by a succession of pulses at 1 million cycles per second. While this may sound intense, it is very safe. To maximize comfort, the body’s temperature is constantly monitored, with ongoing accurate skin temperature feedback; this thermal monitoring provides the utmost temperature control.

• What Can I Expect During My InMode BodyFX Treatment?

  Body FX uses a combination of different clinically proven modalities, including radio-frequency energy, deep tissue heating, and suction-coupled negative pressure. The radio-frequency energy distributes heat into targeted tissue and underlying fat, causing the tissues to heat and contract. Once the target tissue reaches temperature, a second energy pulse is delivered, responsible for killing the fat cell. The treatment area is 6 x 6 inches with 10 minutes of continuous energy consistently maintaining a certain temperature that fat cells. The heating effect stimulates collagen, which helps to tighten skin, while the secondary pulse improves cellulite appearance and targets localized fat deposits. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses work synergistically to provide beautiful body contouring results and a percent fat reduction in each treatment.

• What Should I Do After My InMode BodyFX?

  After receiving your InMode BodyFX treatment at Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center, we recommend the following:

  • HYDRATE – Use a gentle moisturizer or healing ointment on the treatment area until the skin heals.
  • MAKEUP – Can be applied two days after the treatment. Clean makeup brushes before use.

Reapply often→In addition to reducing your future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow aging.
