Sagging skin and excess fat in areas like the thighs, abdomen, and arms is something many people struggle with. Traditional methods like diet and exercise often fall short when it comes to tightening skin and eliminating stubborn fat pockets. For those who aren’t ready for surgical procedures, BodyTite offers a non-invasive option that can give you more contoured and firmer skin.

BodyTite fat reduction is a treatment designed to tackle two main issues: unwanted fat and loose skin. Unlike traditional liposuction, which focuses solely on fat removal, BodyTite goes a step further by also tightening the skin during the procedure. This dual action can give you a more sculpted and streamlined appearance.
The technology behind BodyTite body contouring uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) and is often, though not necessarily, combined with traditional liposuction techniques. A small probe is inserted beneath the skin to emit radiofrequency energy, which liquefies the targeted fat cells and can make for easier removal during liposuction. Simultaneously, this energy helps to tighten collagen fibers, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Your body contouring treatment with BodyTite is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. A small incision is made in the targeted area, through which the BodyTite probe is inserted. The probe delivers radiofrequency energy to the fat cells while carefully monitoring the skin’s temperature to ensure safety.
During any subsequent liposuction, the liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out, and the skin tightens in response to the radiofrequency energy. Depending on the scope of treatment, you may be in the office between one and three hours.
The BodyTite device uses radiofrequency technology. As a standalone option, it is the less invasive option compared to traditional surgical methods. This makes it ideal for those who want results without undergoing invasive surgery.
BodyTite is often combined with liposuction to further enhance the fat reduction outcome of the procedure. This combination can offer comprehensive body contouring results, addressing stubborn fat while also tightening the skin.
BodyTite skin tightening is unique in its ability to tackle both loose skin and excess fat. This dual-action technology allows for a more contoured and firm appearance that liposuction can’t achieve alone.
BodyTite procedures typically come with shorter recovery periods than traditional surgical treatments. This enables you to return to your daily activities more swiftly.
Combining BodyTite body contouring with liposuction can not only enhance results but may also reduce the overall recovery time. This makes it a strategic choice for comprehensive body enhancement.
BodyTite procedures can be performed with only a local anesthetic in the office. Our world-class Plastic Surgeons will guide you through the entire process and lay out all of your treatment options at the time of your consultation. As a body sculpting procedure, BodyTite offers convenience and ease, making it easier for you to fit the treatment into your busy schedule.
No, BodyTite is not a weight loss procedure. It is most effective for patients who are already in relatively good shape and maintain a healthy diet.
BodyTite treatments are generally well-tolerated, thanks to local anesthesia. You may experience some discomfort, but it is usually minimal.
The results from BodyTite are long-lasting, but they can be affected by factors like aging and weight gain. A healthy lifestyle can help you maintain your results.
The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your specific goals and the area being treated. Generally, significant results can be achieved in a single session with the BodyTite device.
To prepare for this body sculpting procedure, you’ll typically need to avoid certain medications and supplements that can affect blood clotting. More detailed instructions will be provided during your consultation.
Combining BodyTite with liposuction results in a comprehensive body contouring treatment that addresses both fat reduction and skin tightening. The procedure will typically involve making small incisions for both the BodyTite probe and the liposuction cannula. BodyTite is used first followed by liposuction. After the procedure, you will be given compression garments to help your body settle into its new contours.
