BodyTite is an innovative body contouring technology that harnesses the power of radiofrequency to reduce excess fat and improve skin tone, offering an effective and less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. This treatment is an ideal solution for those looking to eliminate localized fat and achieve firmer, younger skin, without suffering the recovery time and risks associated with more invasive surgical procedures.
How does BodyTite work?
The BodyTite device uses a radiofrequency-assisted system (RFAL) to heat the subcutaneous tissue, specifically targeting the fat cells and collagen in the skin. The procedure begins with inserting a very thin cannula under the skin. This cannula is connected to a radio frequency generator that emits thermal energy. At the same time, an external electrode is placed on the surface of the skin. Radiofrequency energy passes from the cannula to the electrode, evenly heating the tissue deep down without damaging the outer skin.
Benefits of BodyTite
1. Minimally invasive: Unlike liposuction, BodyTite does not require large incisions, which means less scarring and a lower risk of infection. To perform the treatment, local anesthesia combined with mild sedation is sufficient.
2. Fat reduction and toning: BodyTite not only effectively removes fat, but also helps to tighten the skin, thanks to collagen stimulation that leads to more elastic and youthful skin.
3. Rapid recovery: Patients can generally return to their daily activities within a few hours of surgery, with less bruising and swelling than those experienced after traditional liposuction. It will be sufficient to avoid sport for a week and wear an elasto compression garment for about 3 weeks.
4. Long-lasting results: Results improve over time, with visible benefits continuing to develop over the six months following treatment, as the body produces new collagen. In some cases, improvements continue to occur even after a year.
Treatment areas
BodyTite can be used to treat various areas of the body where fat tends to accumulate and the skin tends to lose firmness, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, inner knees, arms, and even smaller areas such as the chin.
Who is BodyTite suitable for?
The treatment is ideal for individuals close to their ideal weight but who struggle with localized fat deposits and loose skin that does not respond to either diet or exercise. It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that BodyTite is an option for reshaping, not a solution for significant weight loss. In case of overweight or underweight, it is preferable to stabilize the weight before undergoing this surgery.
Final Thoughts
Before proceeding with the BodyTite treatment, it is essential to consult with a qualified cosmetic plastic surgeon who is experienced in radiofrequency technology, to discuss goals, expectations, and possible risks. A good surgeon will be able to assess whether BodyTite is the most suitable option based on the patient’s condition, skin quality and other relevant factors, otherwise he will certainly propose alternative techniques.
The association of Bodytite with Morpheus 8, the latest generation of non-invasive radiofrequency, makes it possible to make even the most superficial states of the skin more toned. The first session of Morpheus can be performed on the same day as the Body Tite treatment.
In summary, BodyTite offers a safe and effective solution to reshape the body, improve the silhouette and tighten the skin with a minimally invasive intervention. It offers significant benefits over traditional liposuction, including less discomfort, faster recovery time, and more satisfactory cosmetic results. With BodyTite, patients can achieve a firmer and more defined appearance while strengthening their confidence and well-being.
