BodyFX | Non-Surgical Body Contouring, Fat Reduction & Skin Tightening
BodyFX is an advanced non-surgical body contouring treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat, improve skin laxity and visibly smooth the appearance of cellulite.
Using a unique combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy, vacuum-assisted tissue manipulation and controlled thermal technology, BodyFX helps reshape body contours while stimulating collagen production for firmer, smoother-looking skin.
Unlike surgical body contouring procedures, BodyFX requires no incisions, no anaesthesia and virtually no downtime, making it an excellent option for patients seeking gradual, natural-looking body improvements.
At KM Plastic Surgery Clinic, every BodyFX treatment is tailored to each patient’s individual anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals following a comprehensive medical consultation with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Konstantinos Makrygiorgis.
What is BodyFX?
BodyFX is an innovative body contouring treatment developed to address several aesthetic concerns simultaneously, including localized fat deposits, skin laxity and cellulite.
The technology combines three clinically proven mechanisms:
- Radiofrequency (RF) energy
- Vacuum-assisted tissue manipulation
- Controlled tissue heating
Together, these technologies heat the deeper layers of tissue while gently drawing the skin into the treatment handpiece. This process stimulates collagen production, improves skin firmness and supports the body’s natural response to reducing localized fat.
Unlike liposuction, BodyFX is completely non-invasive and allows patients to return immediately to their normal daily activities.
How Does BodyFX Work?
BodyFX delivers precisely controlled radiofrequency energy into the treatment area while simultaneously applying gentle vacuum pressure.
The controlled heating affects both the connective tissue and the underlying fat layer, encouraging gradual tissue remodelling and collagen production.
The treatment helps to:
- Improve body contours
- Reduce the appearance of localized fat
- Tighten mild skin laxity
- Improve the appearance of cellulite
- Stimulate new collagen production
- Enhance overall skin texture
Results develop progressively over several weeks as the body naturally remodels treated tissues.
What Can BodyFX Treat?
BodyFX is ideal for patients looking to improve body contours without surgery.
It may help improve:
- Localized fat deposits
- Mild to moderate cellulite
- Mild skin laxity
- Uneven body contours
- Skin firmness
- Areas of stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Skin quality following weight loss
Although BodyFX can significantly improve body contours, it is not a weight-loss treatment and does not replace surgical procedures when large-volume fat removal is required.
Treatment Areas
BodyFX can be safely performed on multiple areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Waist
- Hips
- Buttocks
- Outer thighs
- Inner thighs
- Upper arms
- Knees
For smaller or more delicate areas, treatment may be performed using MiniFX, depending on the patient’s individual needs and treatment goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
BodyFX is suitable for both women and men who are close to their ideal body weight but wish to improve specific problem areas that have not responded to diet and exercise.
Ideal candidates include individuals who have:
- Localized fat deposits
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Cellulite concerns
- Good overall health
- Stable body weight
- Realistic expectations regarding treatment outcomes
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive consultation to determine whether BodyFX is the most appropriate treatment and to develop a personalized body contouring plan.
The Treatment Procedure
Every BodyFX treatment at KM Plastic Surgery Clinic begins with a detailed consultation and clinical assessment. During your appointment, Dr. Konstantinos Makrygiorgis will evaluate your body contours, skin quality, the degree of skin laxity, the presence of localized fat deposits, and your aesthetic goals to determine whether BodyFX is the right treatment for you.
Once your personalised treatment plan has been established, the targeted areas are marked and prepared.
The BodyFX handpiece is then applied to the skin, delivering a combination of controlled radiofrequency energy and gentle vacuum-assisted tissue manipulation. This technology heats the deeper layers of the skin and underlying fat while maintaining patient comfort throughout the procedure.
Unlike invasive body contouring procedures, BodyFX does not require anaesthesia or incisions. Most patients describe the treatment as a comfortable warming sensation combined with gentle suction.
Depending on the size and number of treatment areas, each session typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes.
Following treatment, patients can immediately resume their normal daily activities.
How Many BodyFX Sessions Will I Need?
The number of treatments required varies according to your body shape, skin quality and aesthetic goals.
Most patients achieve optimal results with a course of 6 to 8 treatment sessions, usually performed once a week.
Because BodyFX works by gradually remodelling tissue and stimulating collagen production, results are cumulative. Each session builds upon the previous one, making it important to complete the recommended treatment plan.
Following your initial course, maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your individual goals and lifestyle.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients begin noticing subtle improvements after the first few sessions.
However, because collagen remodelling and tissue regeneration occur gradually, results continue to improve throughout the treatment course and for several weeks after the final session.
The most noticeable improvements are typically seen one to three months after completing the recommended treatment plan.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results vary depending on several factors, including your lifestyle, body weight, diet, physical activity and natural ageing process.
Maintaining a stable weight, following a healthy lifestyle and attending maintenance sessions when recommended can help prolong your results.
Although BodyFX can significantly improve body contours and skin quality, maintaining long-term results also depends on healthy daily habits.
Recovery After BodyFX
One of the major advantages of BodyFX is that it requires little to no downtime.
Following treatment, you may experience:
- Mild redness
- Temporary warmth in the treated area
- Slight swelling
- Mild tenderness
These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few hours.
Most patients return to work, exercise and normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Aftercare Instructions
Following your BodyFX treatment, we recommend:
- Drinking plenty of water to support the body’s natural metabolic processes.
- Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet.
- Engaging in regular physical activity.
- Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours.
- Following all personalised aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
A healthy lifestyle helps maximise and maintain the results achieved with BodyFX.
Can BodyFX Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes. BodyFX can be safely combined with other non-surgical aesthetic treatments as part of a personalised body contouring programme.
Depending on your individual needs, your treatment plan may include procedures designed to improve skin quality, tighten loose skin, stimulate collagen production or further refine body contours.
At KM Plastic Surgery Clinic, every combination treatment plan is carefully designed by Dr. Konstantinos Makrygiorgis, ensuring that each patient receives a personalised approach based on their anatomy, skin condition and aesthetic goals.
