What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses directional radiofrequency energy to destroy excess fat and tighten the skin and underlying tissues. It can produce results that were previously only possible with surgery. BodyTite provides unprecedented contraction of the deeper skin layer, connective tissues, and subcutaneous fat.

Who is a candidate for BodyTite?

If you have stubborn pockets of unwanted fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, you may be a good candidate for a BodyTite treatment. This procedure is recommended for individuals who want to improve body contours and reduce fat in the:

Arms
Back
Hips
Buttocks
Knees

What should I expect with BodyTite?

BodyTite is performed on an outpatient basis with tumescent anesthesia. A saline solution containing local anesthetic (for your comfort) and epinephrine (to reduce bleeding and aid fat removal) is injected into the excess fat in the treatment area. Radiofrequency energy is then applied above and beneath the skin to melt the fat and contract and tighten the skin and underlying tissues. Melted fat may be aspirated from the body or eliminated naturally.

What is recovery like after BodyTite?

Recovery is quick after a BodyTite treatment. You may experience minor swelling and bruising, redness, tenderness, and sensitivity. These symptoms should subside quickly and can be easily managed with over-the-counter medications. The skin may appear uneven for a few weeks after BodyTite. This should resolve as the fat cells become more evenly distributed.
