Body FX and Mini FX, body contouring treatments
The Body FX and Mini FX treatments are designed to firm and smooth the skin without invasive surgery. Physical activity and a balanced diet are key to maintaining a healthy weight. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get rid of fat accumulated in certain areas of the body.
Especially for women, cellulite and its dimpled effect can be uncomfortable and a source of insecurity. To feel good in your skin and regain self-confidence, Victoria Park Medispa offers Body FX and Mini FX treatments that help eliminate cellulite on the body and reduce the double chin effect on the face.
Body FX and Mini FX:
what are they?
The Body FX and Mini FX treatments are designed for the body and face. A device is applied to the skin to eliminate subcutaneous fat. No incision is necessary: the applicator creates suction on the skin and makes tiny perforations in the fat cell membranes. At the same time, the device emits electromagnetic waves that heat these cells and ultimately destroy them. As the fat is eliminated, the skin regains a firm and toned appearance. This is due not only to the reduction of cellulite but also to the tightening effect of Body FX or Mini FX on the skin. Indeed, the heat delivered by the device stimulates collagen production, a substance essential for skin elasticity. For larger treatment areas, Body FX is most suitable because its wide applicator can cover a large surface. Smaller areas are treated precisely with Mini FX, a smaller and more maneuverable applicator suitable for areas as small as the chin or underarms.
A client interested in the benefits of Body FX or Mini FX must first meet with a health professional at Victoria Park Medispa to assess their goals and condition. During this meeting, and if they are deemed a good candidate, a treatment plan can be determined. In terms of logistics, the duration of a Body FX or Mini FX session varies depending on the treated area; on average, it takes between thirty and seventy-five minutes. The treatment itself is not painful and does not require anesthesia. However, a suction sensation may be felt, as well as heat at the treatment site. Eight treatment sessions are generally needed to achieve satisfactory results. Afterward, a maintenance session can be scheduled if necessary.

- Blepharoplasty: to rejuvenate the gaze

Why choose Body FX or Mini FX?
Body FX and Mini FX treatments at Victoria Park Medispa may interest active and healthy individuals who need a boost to eliminate subcutaneous fat. This type of treatment is not a weight loss method but rather a cellulite treatment that promotes body contouring. As such, it is a care that can improve skin contours, especially when it appears loose, whether on the neck, abdomen, or buttocks. For example, women who have carried a child may sometimes retain a bit of a belly long after giving birth. This natural phenomenon can also be a source of discomfort; however, it is possible to tighten the skin and reduce stored fat with Body FX. Or, it is possible to improve the silhouette of individuals whose body shape naturally tends to store fat in certain areas, such as the inner thighs or hips.
Indeed, it can happen that these key areas are difficult to reshape naturally, even with physical and dietary efforts. Body FX then reduces the dimpled appearance that can be observed, improves skin firmness, and allows the client to regain their well-being. Finally, it is also a solution to consider for people who want to improve their facial contour. It is common for the skin to lose its elasticity with age, and for the face to thicken, especially in the area under the chin. To regain a more defined and firmer profile, Mini FX can be effective. In short, it is an interesting alternative to liposuction, an effective method but one that remains a surgical procedure.
Body FX, an effective treatment against cellulite
What is commonly referred to as cellulite are large cells that store fat and retain water. The dimples, sometimes called “orange peel skin,” observable mainly on the buttocks and the back of the thighs, are actually the result of these cells. Once engorged, they alter the texture of the skin. Women more often have cellulite than men, but a small percentage of the male population can still experience it.
Often considered unsightly, although natural, cellulite can be reduced with exercise and the consumption of healthy foods. Nevertheless, it remains very difficult to eliminate completely because even if its content decreases, the cell remains in place. This is why treatments like Body FX and Mini FX can be considered to destroy the problem at its source, that is, by directly targeting the cell. Indeed, Body FX and Mini FX are configured to deliver a well-defined dose of heat, via radiofrequency, so that the fat cell is damaged. The results thus obtained, combined with maintaining a good lifestyle, can last for many months.
In summary
BodyFX and MiniFX are non-invasive body contouring treatments designed to reduce cellulite and firm the skin. These devices use a combination of suction and radiofrequency to heat fat cells, damage them, and gradually eliminate them. At the same time, the heat stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
BodyFX is suitable for larger body areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, thanks to its wider applicator. MiniFX, on the other hand, targets smaller or more delicate areas, such as the chin or underarms, with increased precision, making it an excellent option for improving facial contour or treating hard-to-reach areas.
It is recommended to follow a treatment plan of about eight sessions, usually spaced one week apart. Results begin to be visible after a few sessions, but full improvement may take a few weeks after the end of the treatment, due to the gradual elimination of fat cells.
These treatments are aimed at active and healthy individuals who want to reduce cellulite or improve skin firmness without surgery. They are not a substitute for weight loss but are ideal for treating areas where subcutaneous fat persists despite a healthy diet and exercise.
Improve your appearance with non-invasive treatments at Victoria Park Medispa
The action of Body FX and Mini FX can be combined with other non-invasive treatments to improve the appearance of the skin. To address age spots, rosacea, or certain pigmentation spots caused by the sun, it may be interesting to consider photorejuvenation with pulsed light.
The complexion can thus be evened out, and the face can regain its youthful glow. The advantage of this treatment is that it is also suitable for treating the hands, which tend to show signs of aging relatively quickly, as well as the neck and décolletage.
