BodyFX along jaw line: I was told that BodyFX has a smaller applicator for the face.

Question

Is that true and has anyone used it to reduce fat along jaw line and at jaw angles? What results can be expected?

R. Brannon Claytor, MD, FACS · Answer

Excess fat under the mandible can result in asymmetry and loss of aesthetic appeal. Once neck and lower face can identify ones youth or aged appearance. The neck contours are a sign of youth and beauty. Liposuction in this area can be challenging due to thick fibrous septae. Treatment with laser by the Precision TX will enable the fat to be disrupted and thus more reliably removed. Follow up laser with the Precision TX induces skin tightening.

esk.     Radio frequency for the face and for the body for that matter has a very short track record and results vary significantly from patient to patient. The gold standard for contouring of the face is still traditional Micro-Liposuction utilizing small cannulas to sculpt the jaw and facial angles. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

MiniFx, a smaller version of BodyFX, applies radiofrequency energy to kill fat cells while also tightening the skin. This treatment at the jawline is typically quick and well tolerated.  Sometimes redness persists for less than a day so plan accordingly for the first treatment if you plan to return to work or activities.

BodyFX does have a smaller hand piece, this is called MiniFX, it's perfect for areas like the Chin/Neck/Jawline. By using  radio-frequency non-invasive lypolysis, you get a great marriage of fat cell destruction coupled with skin tightening. The treated areas can have a 30-40% improvement, and can essentially be a "lunch time" treatment. Get the treatment done at lunch, and go back to work with no downtime.
