Minimally Invasive Body Reshaping with BodyTite

Sometimes diet and exercise are not enough. Maybe you have an area of stubborn fat or laxity of the skin that will not go away, no matter how hard you work at it. You may be a candidate for our newest technology, BodyTite.

BodyTite uses RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) to reduce fat without leaving behind loose, wrinkly skin. This minimally invasive technology actually improves skin laxity! The BodyTite device emits bipolar radio-frequency energy that melts fat and tightens the fibers of the fibro septal network in the skin. The device is inserted into the target area through a 1mm incision. As the handpiece glides over and under your skin, fat is liquified and the collagen fibers contract and tighten. The procedure also causes continued collagen production over the following months. The patient can be given a mild oral sedative and nitrous oxide if necessary. Most patients report that they felt minimal pain at the start of the procedure when the local anesthetic was administered. Best results will be seen at 6-12 months. Some liposuction may also be performed during the procedure. Depending on the treatment area, the downtime can be 1-2 days up to 10 days. The skin may be sore or tender and there may be some bruising, swelling, redness and/or numbness. The patient may need to wear a compression garment for a couple of weeks up to a couple of months.

What areas of the body can be treated? Some of the most common treatment zones are the stomach, arms, chest, knees and thighs. But in our office we have also treated “muffin tops,” fat above the bra on the back and armpit areas. This technology is best for those who have pockets of fat they want removed with mild skin laxity.
