Get Beach Ready with Body Contouring

Posted on March 14, 2018 by: Dr. Rocheford

If you’ve resolved to get in shape and live healthy this year, then you might be thinking about showing off your progress this spring and summer. If you’re still struggling with pockets of fat around your body, though, you’re not alone. Most people carry a little fat somewhere on their body, and it can be highly resistant to diet and exercise because of the way your body stores fat. Fortunately, BodyFX is a laser body contouring system that can help you get ahead on your plan to slim down.

What is it?

BodyFX uses different radio frequencies, deep tissue heating, and gentle suction to kill fat cells in areas of the body where they are commonly stored, like the stomach, thighs, and neck. This technology also offers the benefit of cellulite removal and skin tightening as the fat is removed, meaning there’s no need for an expensive procedure after your body contouring. BodyFX is your long-lasting, all-in-one sculpting treatment.

What is treatment like?

BodyFX requires around 6-8 treatments at one per week before best results become visible. That means you can get started on your BodyFX treatments just in time for warmer weather. Treatments are relaxing, with no more than a gentle warming sensation as the laser energy works to kill the fat cells so they can be gradually and safely absorbed by the body.

What about results?

While the fat- and cellulite-reducing benefits begin to emerge after the first treatment, the skin-tightening aspect takes up to a year to take effect. During this time, though, you’ll notice dramatically reduced fat in the treated areas. This can be a great alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, but can also be effectively used in conjunction with it. The nonexistent downtime that comes with BodyFX means you can get right back to your new health regimen and showing off your new, drastic results.
