As the seasons change from winter to spring and then summer, the weather grows warmer and people gradually begin wearing lighter clothing. At times like this, many people become concerned about excess fat around the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs.
You may picture your ideal body shape and resolve to start a diet. However, even after making that decision and taking action, it takes time to see results, and many people give up along the way when they do not achieve the results they had hoped for.
Here, we explain what InMode BodyFX is—a medical device with significant body-contouring effects that can help slim areas of concern.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) is recommended for people who:
InMode FX is a medical device expected to reduce fat cells while providing a skin-tightening effect.
InMode FX can be divided into two types depending on the treatment area. The medical device designed specifically for body treatments is called BodyFX (Body FX), while the device designed specifically for facial treatments is called Mini FX. Although the handpieces differ according to the size of the treatment area, the underlying mechanism is the same.
InMode FX generates heat using RF energy and then instantly delivers an electrical current to promote apoptosis (natural cell death) in fat cells, thereby reducing the number of fat cells. At the same time, the heat generated by the RF energy produces a skin-tightening effect in the dermal layer of the skin.
In this way, InMode BodyFX (Body FX) is an advanced medical device that can destroy fat and tighten the skin using RF energy, while treatment is performed without damaging the body.
Let us take a closer look at the effects that may be expected from InMode BodyFX (Body FX) treatment.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) is effective for treating the following areas of the body.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) uses a handpiece to deliver two types of RF energy to promote its effects. The handpiece has two electrodes that suction and hold the treatment area between them. This enables the RF energy to be delivered firmly to the tissue held between the handpiece.
When the first type of RF energy is delivered through the handpiece, the tissue held between it is heated to 40–43°C. This promotes the expansion and dissolution of fat cells, as well as a skin-tightening effect in the dermal layer.
Once the fat cells have expanded sufficiently and become enlarged, the second type of RF energy instantly delivers an electrical current of approximately 2,000 volts, inducing apoptosis (natural cell death) in fat cells to a maximum depth of 2.5 cm.
Fat cells in which apoptosis has been induced are gradually eliminated as waste products over a period of several weeks. Approximately six weeks after treatment, about 30% of the fat cells in the treated area will have been eliminated, resulting in a reduction in the number of fat cells.
Let us review the possible disadvantages of InMode BodyFX (Body FX).
Although there are differences depending on the treatment area, InMode BodyFX (Body FX) causes little to no treatment-related pain. Even so, temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may appear after treatment. However, in most cases, these symptoms settle within a few days.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) treatment generates heat in the treatment area using RF energy to promote its effects. Therefore, although it varies from person to person, you may feel warmth during treatment. This warmth is a gentle, comfortable sensation. If you have any concerns, the settings can be adjusted, so please consult your doctor.
The RF energy delivered by InMode BodyFX (Body FX) acts on fat cells in the dermal layer of the skin and the superficial layer of the subcutaneous tissue. Therefore, multiple treatments at regular intervals are necessary to enhance the effects.
Next, let us review the benefits of InMode BodyFX (Body FX).
Even after successfully losing weight through dieting, many people are concerned about the looseness that can develop in areas where fat has been reduced. However, this is less of a concern with InMode BodyFX (Body FX). By combining fat reduction with skin tightening, it provides significant body-contouring effects without the concern of loose skin.
One characteristic of InMode BodyFX (Body FX) treatment is that rebound weight gain is less likely to occur.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) promotes body-contouring effects by inducing apoptosis (natural cell death) through treatment. This reduces the number of fat cells, making it possible to maintain a slimmer appearance unless the number of fat cells increases again.
A major benefit of InMode BodyFX (Body FX) is that it does not damage the body, making it a treatment that causes little pain and does not leave wounds. Because the treatment uses RF energy, you may feel warmth, but it is not unpleasant, and some people find the sensation comfortable.
There is also little to no downtime. Temporary redness or bruising may appear after treatment, but these symptoms generally settle within several hours to several days.
The two types of FX energy delivered by InMode BodyFX (Body FX) work in sequence. The first warms the cells and causes the fat cells to expand significantly. The second energy then destroys the fat cells, acting on fat cells that have already been sufficiently enlarged by the first energy. This makes it a highly safe technology that causes little damage to other cells.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) treatment generally costs several tens of thousands of yen per session, making it easy to continue and an accessible price point for first-time patients.
Because insurance does not apply and prices vary between clinics, be sure to confirm both the treatment details and the cost with the clinic before undergoing treatment.
InMode BodyFX (Body FX) can produce effects after just one treatment, but to achieve more substantial results, it is recommended to undergo multiple treatments at intervals of 2–4 weeks.
Changes from InMode BodyFX (Body FX) occur very gradually, reducing the number of fat cells over a period ranging from several days to several weeks after treatment. Therefore, undergoing multiple treatments allows the treatment plan to be tailored with your ideal body shape in mind.
InMode BodyFX is a treatment using a medical device designed specifically for the body, with effects expected to include fat reduction and skin tightening. It is highly effective for spot reduction through fat reduction in areas such as the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs. Skin tightening can also firm the looseness that may occur when fat is reduced, making this treatment suitable for those who want to slim down while maintaining a smooth appearance.
InMode BodyFX induces apoptosis (natural cell death) in fat cells by delivering RF energy, while simultaneously promoting skin tightening by applying heat to the dermal layer. It may also help reduce cellulite, which is difficult to eliminate and less likely to respond to conventional weight loss efforts, providing benefits that can support diets that often prove difficult to sustain.
Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur as side effects, but InMode BodyFX treatment does not require the body to be injured and has a short downtime, making it a highly safe treatment.
Although this treatment has a high level of safety and can provide reassurance to many patients, results may vary depending on the skill of the person performing the treatment with the device. At LIVELY CLINIC, doctors and nurses with an in-depth knowledge of anatomy propose the most suitable plan to help each patient achieve their ideal body shape, while providing efficient treatment with consideration for pain and heat sensitivity. We are grateful to have received high evaluations from our patients, and due to its popularity, appointments may be booked up to two weeks in advance.
