SKIN TREATMENTS

MiniFX

MiniFX

MiniFX is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with controlled suction to target and treat localized fat deposits and skin laxity. It’s designed to improve body contouring and skin appearance in specific areas.

At Aesthetics by Dr. Claire, our miniFX are customised to effectively reduce the appearance of submentum (double chin) fat to slim down the neck and achieve a more contoured appearance.


  • MiniFX uses a specialized device that delivers RF energy to the deeper layers of the skin while applying gentle suction. This dual action helps to heat the tissue, which stimulates collagen production and enhances the breakdown of fat cells. The suction component helps to ensure that the RF energy is evenly distributed and effectively reaches the targeted areas.

    • Localized Fat Reduction:

      • Targeted Fat Loss: Helps reduce stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, particularly in areas where fat tends to accumulate.

    • Skin Tightening:

      • Collagen Stimulation: The RF energy promotes collagen production, leading to improved skin firmness and elasticity.

    • Cellulite Reduction:

      • Smoothing: Helps to smooth out the appearance of cellulite by breaking down fat cells and improving skin texture.

    • Body Contouring:

      • Shaping: Can enhance body contours by reducing fat and tightening the skin in targeted areas, leading to a more sculpted appearance.

    • Improved Skin Texture:

      • Smoothing Effect: Improves overall skin texture by reducing the appearance of dimples and uneven skin.

    • Abdomen:

      • Common Area: Often treated to reduce localized fat and tighten skin around the stomach area.

    • Thighs:

      • Inner and Outer Thighs: Useful for addressing fat deposits and skin laxity on the thighs.

    • Flanks (Love Handles):

      • Waist Area: Effective for contouring and reducing fat in the flanks.

    • Buttocks:

      • Firming and Shaping: Helps to improve the appearance of the buttocks by tightening the skin and reducing fat.

    • Arms:

      • Upper Arms: Treats loose skin and fat deposits on the upper arms.

    1. Redness and Swelling:

      • Temporary: Mild redness and swelling in the treated areas are common and typically resolve within a few hours to a few days.

    2. Discomfort:

      • Mild to Moderate: Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which usually subsides quickly.

    3. Bruising:

      • Occasional: Bruising can occur, particularly in areas where suction is applied more intensely.

    4. Skin Sensitivity:

      • Temporary Sensitivity: Treated areas may be temporarily sensitive or feel tender following the procedure.

    5. Uneven Results:

      • Variability: Results can vary based on individual factors, such as skin type, fat distribution, and overall health.

    1. Consultation:

      • Evaluation: Have a consultation with a qualified provider to discuss your goals, assess your suitability, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

    2. Avoid Sun Exposure:

      • Sun Protection: Minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen in the weeks leading up to the treatment to protect your skin.

    3. Hydrate and Prepare:

      • Hydration: Ensure you are well-hydrated before the procedure, as proper hydration can support the skin's healing process.

    4. Avoid Certain Medications:

      • Consultation: Discuss any medications or supplements you are taking with your provider, as some may need to be temporarily discontinued.

    5. Pre-Treatment Guidelines:

      • Follow Instructions: Adhere to any specific pre-treatment guidelines provided by your practitioner, such as avoiding blood-thinning medications.

    Post-Care Instructions:

    1. Manage Redness and Swelling:

      • Cool Compresses: Apply cool compresses to the treated areas to help reduce redness and swelling.

    2. Avoid Heat and Intense Exercise:

      • Stay Cool: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and intense physical activities for a few days post-treatment.

    3. Gentle Skincare:

      • Moisturize: Use gentle, hydrating skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants or irritating ingredients.

    4. Sun Protection:

      • Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to the treated areas to protect your skin from UV damage.

    5. Follow-Up Care:

      • Check-In: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns.
