BodyTite
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is an innovative procedure that utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to target and eliminate unwanted fat while tightening loose or sagging skin. By delivering controlled heat energy, BodyTite liquefies fat cells for easy removal and stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. This dual-action treatment is ideal for the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. Unlike traditional liposuction, BodyTite offers the added benefit of skin tightening, making it a comprehensive solution for body contouring. However, this can also be used in conjunction with liposuction to create more drastic results.
Am I a Good Candidate for BodyTite?
BodyTite is designed for individuals close to their ideal weight but struggle with isolated areas of fat and mild to moderate skin laxity. It is an excellent option for patients who want noticeable improvement without undergoing more invasive surgical procedures. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations for their results. BodyTite is not a weight-loss solution, and patients with significant skin laxity or underlying medical concerns may be better suited for alternative treatments. A consultation with the experts at Marvel Cosmetic Surgery will help determine if BodyTite is right for you.
How to Prepare for BodyTite
In the weeks before the procedure, you may be asked to avoid smoking and certain medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding. On the day of the procedure, wearing loose, comfortable clothing is recommended, and arrangements should be made for transportation home following your treatment.
The BodyTite Procedure
BodyTite is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, ensuring a comfortable patient experience. A small incision is made to insert the BodyTite device beneath the skin during the procedure. The device delivers precise radiofrequency energy to melt fat cells, which are gently removed through suction. Simultaneously, the heat energy stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness. The procedure is typically completed within one to three hours, depending on the size and number of treatment areas.
Recovery After BodyTite
Recovery from BodyTite is typically quick and straightforward, with most patients experiencing only mild swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated areas. These symptoms usually subside within a few days, allowing patients to resume light activities and work within a week. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for two to three weeks to ensure optimal healing. Results become more apparent as swelling diminishes, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you enjoy long-term results.
