What is BodyFX?
BodyFX is a non-surgical technology to reduce fat while tightening the skin in typical problem areas such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, and love handles. It uses heat and radiofrequency to permanently kill fat cells, while helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite by tightening the skin.
It is important to remember that no fat reduction technology on the market will ever replace a healthy lifestyle.
