BodyTite™ in Raleigh & Cary, NC

BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to tighten skin and improve contour. It is ideal for reducing localized fat deposits and improving mild skin laxity.rnrnOn the other hand, Morpheus8 is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and tighten the skin. While BodyTite focuses on skin tightening and fat reduction (to a degree), Morpheus8 primarily addresses skin texture and overall skin quality.

When combined, BodyTite and Morpheus8 provide comprehensive body contouring benefits. BodyTite improves contours and tightens the skin in the deeper layers, while Morpheus8 works primarily at more superficial layers of the skin. Morpheus8 works to enhance texture, reduce the appearance of scars or stretch marks, and stimulate additional collagen production. This dual approach achieves maximized contouring and skin quality improvement. These two treatments work synergistically to address aging skin.

Recovery times vary based on other combined procedures, but most patients can expect about 5–10 days of downtime after combining BodyTite and Morpheus8 procedures. Mild swelling, skin sensation changes, and tenderness are common after BodyTite, while Morpheus8 may cause some redness or skin sensitivity. Most patients can return to work within a week, with more strenuous activities (like exercise) postponed for about 4 weeks. We recommend patients where a compression garment after BodyTite, and we recommend a tailored skincare regimen for our Morpheus8 patients.

Patients may notice initial improvements in skin tightness and contour within a few weeks after the procedure. However, full results are typically evaluated at least 3 months after the BodyTite procedure. This allows for any swelling or scar tissue to resolve. Continuing Morpheus8 treatments provides continued maintenance and improvement over time as the body continues to produce new collagen.

Yes, BodyTite with Morpheus8 can be an excellent solution for individuals looking to address both excess fat and skin laxity in one treatment plan. However, it is important to understand these procedures work best for patients with minimal to mild excess fat and skin laxity. Those with greater skin laxity may find they are better suited for an excisional procedure, such as an abdominoplasty or lower body lift. Similarly, patients with a significant amount of excess adiposity may be better served with liposuction.
