What is MiniFX?

Is your double chin bothering you? Does the lower half of your face feel heavier than it used to? Do photographs make you look heavier than you actually are? The lower face might be the culprit!

A non-invasive, minimal downtime procedure called Mini FX could be the solution. This treatment combines a suction device with radiofrequency technology to tighten the skin in the area while reducing the fat underneath. The result is a more defined jawline and a less bulky lower face.

Mini FX works brilliantly when combined with highly focused ultrasound-based devices such as Ultherapy, Sygma Lift, and Ultracel Q+, giving you optimal results.

How does MiniFX work?

MiniFX delivers radio-frequency energy to penetrate deeply into the skin’s layers. It improves blood circulation and disperses heat to the deeper tissues, enhancing the appearance of the skin and reducing cellulite in smaller areas such as the chin, jaw, neck, arms, etc.

It combines vacuum technology with controlled RF energy to effectively target fat tissue. This process tightens and contours loose or sagging skin. It also stimulates collagen synthesis, resulting in a more youthful and sculpted appearance. The results are noticeable, consistent, and long-lasting.

Is MiniFX right for me?

MiniFX is suitable for all skin types and is ideal for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution for fat reduction and skin tightening without surgery, scars, or downtime.

What is the procedure like?

• The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepared.

• A handheld device emitting radio-frequency energy is gently moved across the skin to target the underlying tissues with controlled heat.

• The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

What can I expect?

You may notice an immediate feeling of tightness as the collagen synthesis begins to improve skin quality. The full benefits of MiniFX become more apparent in the weeks and months following the treatment as collagen remodeling continues.

How long do the results last?

The duration of the results depends on the number of sessions and treatment frequency, which will be determined by Dr. Rashmi Shetty during your consultation. Multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, allow for optimal collagen remodeling and skin tightening.

Is there any downtime?

You might experience mild redness or swelling, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. You can resume your regular activities immediately after the procedure.

The following general guidelines are provided to help you plan your social calendar accordingly and ensure optimal healing and results.
