BodyTite is a revolutionary minimally invasive body contouring treatment that tightens and firms skin while assisting in the removal of unwanted fat. It uses RFAL (radio frequency assisted lipolysis) to liquify and eliminate excess fat, while stimulating the skin-firming development of natural collagen for tauter, smoother, more youthful skin on a range of body areas.
As time passes, the skin loses its youthful quality, while the body may develop fatty deposits that leave you looking less attractive and youthful than you want. With BodyTite, a significant advance has been achieved in body contouring technology. Your figure can be reshaped, remolded, and enhanced with a minimally invasive treatment that produces consistently beautiful results.
For many patients, BodyTite is a superior approach to liposuction alone. Specifically, individuals who have not retained youthful, firm, taut skin can see dramatic improvements with BodyTite. While liposuction removes fat and is very effective in improving body shape, it does not tighten skin in the treatment area. If the skin in the treatment area lacks tone and elasticity, liposuction may lead to sagging, rippled or wavy skin. BodyTite is a powerful treatment option for areas with the potential for loose skin. In addition to assisting liposuction in removing excess fat, BodyTite tightens loose and sagging skin for a more sculpted, youthful figure. BodyTite can also be useful in tightening and toning skin even in areas that do not require liposuction.

Am I a candidate for BodyTite contouring?
For a more sculpted body with excellent skin tone, BodyTite is the gold standard contouring treatment. You may be a candidate if:
BodyTite’s state-of-the-art method of body sculpting offers some important advantages, including:
BodyTite is one of the world’s most advanced body contouring treatments. The procedure begins with the introduction of a numbing solution (“tumescent fluid”) into the area to be treated through tiny incisions (a few millimeters in length). This tumescent solution includes epinephrine that limits the risk of bleeding and minimizes bruising. A thin wand on an advanced handpiece is then inserted into the incisions previously used to introduce the numbing medicine. Radiofrequency energy is then transmitted from the wand under the skin to the portion of the handpiece over the skin, and back the other way. This unique bipolar energy application tightens skin by restoring elasticity and stimulating new collagen production. Fat in the treatment area is melted to allow for easy removal as well. This process delivers a body contouring result superior to liposuction alone in areas with skin laxity.

We generally recommend 2 days away from the office for this treatment. Friday procedures are popular so you can get back to work on Monday, and generally return to the gym by Wednesday. Discomfort after the procedure is minimal, and many compare it to the feeling after a strenuous workout. You can expect some bruising that is generally gone in 10-14 days. As swelling subsides, your results will begin to become apparent after about two weeks. Even more dramatic improvements in body shape and skin quality will develop over the months after the procedure as more collagen is created.
Liposuction is a very effective way to remove excess fat, but for those with suboptimal skin tone or loose, saggy skin, liposuction alone is likely not the most effective or appropriate treatment. Before the introduction of BodyTite, major surgery with skin removal was the only way to address skin excess. BodyTite allows us to achieve tighter, firmer, skin along with a slimmed figure in a single procedure without major surgery or downtime. Liposuction can be performed in conjunction with BodyTite in areas that require both fat removal and skin tightening. For severe skin laxity, traditional skin removal procedures remain the treatment of choice.

BodyTite results last for years. While BodyTite tightens and tones the treatment areas, you will, of course, continue to age after the procedure, and skin laxity will likely develop as time goes on. BodyTite is a procedure that significantly tightens tissue and “turns back time”. Unfortunately, we can’t stop time completely (yet!). You can look forward to enjoying the results of a single BodyTite treatment for years to come.
No! You will have mild discomfort during the numbing process, and then you will not feel anything at all.
Yes, You will be up and about right away. We generally advise our patients to expect about 48 hours of social downtime after BodyTite, but most patients feel up to basic activities immediately.
Yes, BodyTite is an excellent treatment for mild-to-moderate skin laxity of the arms. In fact, the arms are one of the most popular areas for BodyTite treatment in our practice.
Dr. Smith and his staff are absolutely incredible. They made me feel welcome, comfortable, and listened to from the moment I first arrived for a consultation, all the way to my surgery and afterwards. The care I received from Dr. Smith, Annalise, and Julia was exemplary. I am thrilled with the results of my procedure, and sincerely can't recommend them highly enough.
