In our beautiful seaside Ballito, beach bodies are sought after. Stubborn pockets of fat are usually difficult to eradicate even with a strict diet and exercise regime. BodyFX is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy combined with negative pressure to reduce fat and improve skin appearance. This procedure is particularly effective for targeting stubborn areas of fat and cellulite, such as the abdomen, thighs, and love handles.

How BodyFX Works

The BodyFX treatment employs a combination of clinically proven modalities:

  • Radiofrequency Energy: This energy heats the skin and underlying fat, which can lead to the destruction of fat cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter skin.

  • Negative Pressure: This technique enhances the effectiveness of RF energy by creating a vacuum effect that pulls the skin into the device, allowing for deeper penetration and more effective treatment of fat and cellulite.

The treatment operates at a high frequency, delivering millions of RF pulses per second to ensure optimal results while continuously monitoring the skin's temperature for safety and comfort.


Benefits and Effectiveness

BodyFX is designed to provide several benefits:

  • Fat Reduction: The procedure can permanently reduce fat cells in treated areas.

  • Skin Tightening: By stimulating collagen production, BodyFX helps improve skin elasticity and firmness.

  • Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience no downtime and can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, with only minor redness or warmth in the treated areas.


Tailor made solutions

Patients usually require a series of 6 to 12 sessions, spaced about a week apart, to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be needed every few months to sustain the effects. The results can be long-lasting, provided that patients maintain a healthy lifestyle.


However, for optimal results for weight management, as a medical doctor (GP), I would consult with my patients and treat any underlying medical conditions contributing to the weight gain, optimize medication, refer to a dietician and advise on exercise which encompasses a holistic approach to weight loss.


In summary, BodyFX offers a promising solution for individuals seeking non-surgical options for body contouring and cellulite reduction, with a strong safety profile and minimal recovery time.
