BodyTite’s dual RF waves tighten skin while liposuction eliminates fat deposits. With results boasting a 25–45% tissue contraction.
BodyTite provides a comfortable experience for patients, as it is performed under local anesthesia and is minimally invasive. The gentle heating of the skin and underlying tissues during the procedure helps to minimize discomfort, and most patients report feeling only minor sensations of warmth or pressure. This comfort factor, combined with the procedure’s ability to target specific areas of the body, makes BodyTite a preferred choice for those seeking body contouring with minimal discomfort.
BodyTite offers visible results within two weeks and long-lasting results, with effects that can persist for up to six months or more. The procedure stimulates collagen production, which continues to improve skin tightness and overall contour over time. This means that patients can enjoy the benefits of BodyTite for an extended period, enhancing the value and effectiveness of the treatment.
Most patients see a 25- to 45-percent contraction of the skin in the treated area when maximum results are reached at about six months.
The best candidates are in generally good health. BodyTite is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for people with autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, infections, or allergies to certain local anesthetics. As with any plastic surgery treatment, if you smoke, you will need to quit at least three weeks before the procedure.
During a BodyTite procedure, a small cannula is inserted under the skin through tiny incisions. The cannula delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the underlying fat cells and stimulate collagen production, which tightens the skin. The RF energy also causes the fat cells to liquefy, making them easier to remove or naturally metabolize by the body. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort. BodyTite’s precision allows for targeted treatment of specific areas with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling, bruising, or redness, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
BodyTite can be a suitable option for those who have lost a significant amount of weight but are left with loose skin and stubborn fat deposits. It is important for individuals considering BodyTite after significant weight loss to have stable weight and be in good overall health. BodyTite can help tighten the skin and improve body contours in areas where diet and exercise may not be as effective. However, it is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if BodyTite is the right option based on individual health and aesthetic goals.
BodyTite differs from traditional liposuction in several key ways. While both procedures aim to remove excess fat and improve body contours, BodyTite uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to simultaneously tighten the skin. This is a significant advantage over traditional liposuction, which can sometimes leave loose or sagging skin after fat removal. Additionally, BodyTite is minimally invasive and is typically performed under local anesthesia, leading to less trauma, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional liposuction, which is a more invasive procedure often performed under general anesthesia. The use of RF energy in BodyTite also helps to stimulate collagen production, further enhancing skin tightening and improving overall results.
It is generally safe to have another BodyTite treatment once you have fully recovered from the previous one. This typically means waiting until any swelling, bruising, or redness has subsided, which can take a few days to a week. It’s important to follow your provider’s recommendations for follow-up appointments and to discuss the timing of any additional treatments with them to ensure they are spaced appropriately for your safety and optimal results.
