MINIFX NON-INVASIVE FAT REDUCTION CANBERRA
WHAT IS MINIFX NON-INVASIVE FAT REDUCTION?
MiniFX at Ren Cosmedical Canberra is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to target stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline, helping to sculpt and redefine your facial profile. Using radiofrequency (RF) energy and vacuum-assisted deep tissue heating, MiniFX gently destroys fat cells while stimulating collagen to tighten and smooth the skin. With a series of MiniFX sessions and minimal downtime, it is an effective solution for achieving a sharper, more contoured jawline.

HOW DOES MINIFX WORK AND WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER RF TREATMENTS ?
MiniFX is an advanced, non-invasive lower face contouring treatment that effectively targets stubborn fat and improves skin tone without surgery or downtime. Using a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy, deep tissue heating, and vacuum suction, MiniFX gently heats the subdermal layer to melt fat cells and stimulate collagen production. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these destroyed fat cells, resulting in a smoother, tighter, and more sculpted appearance.
MiniFX is designed specifically for the jawline and submental (under-chin) area, targeting stubborn fat and sagging skin. A typical session lasts 20 to 30 minutes and patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
What sets MiniFX apart from other InMode treatments like Forma RF Skin Tightening and Morpheus8 RF Microneedling is its targeted fat reduction capability. While Forma focuses primarily on skin tightening and collagen stimulation through RF energy, and Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF for deep skin remodeling and texture improvement, MiniFX specifically destroys small pockets of fat while simultaneously tightening the overlying skin.
At Ren Cosmedical Canberra, provide MiniFX and a range of advanced InMode radiofrequency (RF) treatments, each customised to suit your skin’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. Book your consultation online with our experienced cosmetic doctor today.
WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH MINIFX AND WHO IS SUITABLE?
MiniFX precisely targets stubborn fat in the lower face, including the under-chin and jawline areas, while tightening and firming the skin. It is ideal for men and women close to their ideal weight who struggle with small fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise. Safe for most skin types, this non-invasive treatment requires no downtime and delivers gradual, natural-looking results.
CAN MINIFX BE COMBINED WITH OTHER COSMETIC TREATMENT?
Although MiniFX can be a standalone RF fat reduction treatment, it can be combined with other cosmetic treatments as well. Depending on patient’s aesthetic goals and needs, our cosmetic doctor can combine MiniFX with other treatments to achieve the following:
- Bio-remodelling injectables for skin rejuvenation and further skin tightening.
- Forma to achieve further skin tightening, such as slimmer jawline and smoother skin for a more lifted look.
- Morpheus8 for a deeper skin tightening and rejuvenation with RF microneedles.

Skin preparation / requirement before MiniFX treatment:
The key to achieving desirable results with MiniFX is to use a combination of sun protection regularly. Use SPF 50+ sunscreen regularly and sun protection clothing (e.g., hats, long sleeves shirts, umbrella). Always reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.
Avoid consuming alcohol and smoking/vaping 48 hours prior to treatment as these will impede recovery.
No blood-thinning medication, anti-coagulant medication/fish or krill oil supplement, anti-inflammatory medication, vitamin E, herbal supplements for at least 1 week prior to treatment, as these may contribute to possible bruising.
Avoid extended sun exposure such as beach, travel to sunny locations, sunbathing, outdoor sports, etc.
Stop use of active ingredients or exfoliants in skincare products (e.g. AHA/BHA, topical retinol or retinoic acid) for at least 1 week prior to treatment.
No recent, heat exposure (e.g. sauna, laser treatment), sunburn experience or fake tans for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment.
On the day of Forma treatment appointment:
Please come without makeup on face. Use sunscreen only and this will be removed at clinic before treatment.
Please leave jewellery (e.g., earrings, piercings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) at home or remove them before treatment.
Wear a wide brim hat or use umbrella before and after treatment.
The area of skin being treated is firstly cleansed thoroughly.
During the treatment, MiniFX combines radiofrequency energy with vacuum-assisted tissue manipulation to target stubborn fat and tighten skin. The vacuum gently lifts the tissue, allowing RF energy to penetrate deeper, destroy fat cells, and stimulate collagen for smoother, firmer results.
Ideal for jawline submental area. A series of treatments helps the body naturally eliminate fat cells, leaving a more contoured and toned appearance.
Soothing balm is applied lastly to the treated skin.
Downtime:
MiniFX sessions for the jawline and under-chin take 20 to 30 minutes and are non-invasive with minimal downtime. Mild redness may appear but fades quickly. A series of treatments gradually reduces fat and tightens skin, revealing a sharper, more contoured facial profile
MiniFX gradually reduces fat and tightens skin in the jawline and under-chin area, revealing a sharper, more defined facial contour. Most patients notice visible improvement after 2 to 3 sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after 4 to 6 treatments. Sessions are usually spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart to allow the body to naturally metabolize fat cells and regenerate collagen. Results continue to improve over several weeks, providing a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgical jawline contouring

- Have medium to severe sagging skin or deep wrinkles, very minimal lift and tightening from MiniFX sessions
