Why InMode’s BodyFX Is the Smartest Choice for Body Contouring
BodyFX vs. CoolSculpting
When it comes to non-invasive body contouring, two names often come up: CoolSculpting and BodyFX by InMode. Both promise fat reduction without surgery, but only one goes beyond fat loss to also tighten skin and smooth cellulite - and that’s BodyFX. If you’re deciding between the two, here's why we believe BodyFX is the superior, more complete solution - and why many clients are steering clear of CoolSculpting.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting uses a process called cryolipolysis, which freezes fat cells until they die off and are naturally eliminated by the body. It’s FDA-approved, well-known, and has been widely used for over a decade.
But here's the issue: while it reduces fat, it doesn’t tighten loose skin or improve texture. Worse, it carries a rare side effect called Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH).
What Is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH)?
PAH is a complication where, instead of shrinking, the treated fat cells grow larger and firmer, creating a noticeable, often permanent bulge in the treated area. It’s the opposite of the desired effect - and it can only be corrected with surgical intervention like liposuction. While PAH is considered rare, it’s serious enough to warrant caution, especially for clients seeking non-surgical solutions. Celebrities like Linda Evangelista have publicly spoken out about experiencing PAH after CoolSculpting, which has brought more attention to the risk.
What Is BodyFX by InMode?
BodyFX uses radiofrequency energy, deep tissue heating, and vacuum massage to not only destroy fat cells but also tighten the skin and reduce cellulite in the same treatment. So instead of freezing fat, it gently heats and reshapes — giving you contouring, firming, and smoothing all in one.
Why We Recommend BodyFX Over CoolSculpting
Here’s why BodyFX is quickly becoming the preferred choice for body contouring:
1. Fat Reduction + Skin Tightening
BodyFX doesn’t just eliminate fat - it stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten and firm the skin as you slim down. CoolSculpting can leave some clients with loose or sagging skin.
2. Smoother, More Even Results
The vacuum and RF technology in BodyFX also breaks up cellulite, improving skin texture and contour. CoolSculpting doesn’t address cellulite at all.
3. No Risk of PAH
Because BodyFX uses heat, not cold, there is no risk of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia. It’s a safer option for clients who want fat reduction without the risk.
4. Comfortable & Non-Invasive
Most clients describe BodyFX as feeling like a warm deep-tissue massage - relaxing, not painful. CoolSculpting, on the other hand, often involves intense cold, suction, and post-treatment numbness or discomfort.
5. Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
BodyFX works over a series of sessions to deliver subtle, natural-looking improvements. There's no sudden change — just steady, smooth results.
