What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is an exceptional body contouring procedure that uses tiny incisions and radiofrequency energy to coagulate fat and tighten the skin. Unlike liposuction, BodyTite requires smaller incisions and offers additional skin tightening through gentle heating while liquefying and removing fat. This technique offers a superior experience versus more invasive surgical procedures that excise skin and leave scarring. BodyTite is an excellent option for patients looking for body contouring without long downtime or recovery periods and simply want slimmer, more toned results.

Am I a Candidate for BodyTite?

One important thing to note before opting for a BodyTite procedure is that you should be at or near your ideal weight to maintain your results with an established diet and exercise regimen. BodyTite can effectively address stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to weight loss and mildly sagging skin. These are most often the result of weight gain or pregnancy, making BodyTite an ideal way to refine your weight loss results without extensive downtime.

How is BodyTite Performed?

BodyTite is typically performed under local anesthesia. After this is administered, a tiny incision is made at the treatment area and a specialized cannula is inserted. This tool administers radiofrequency energy to generate gentle heat to melt fat and stimulate collagen production. Also attached to the handpiece is a specialized disc that sits on top of the skin to monitor temperature and prevent heat damage. The liquefied fat is suctioned out through the cannula, which also coagulates the nearby blood vessels and reduces the amount of downtime required because of bruising and bleeding. Overall, this procedure can take about 15 to 20 minutes

What Can I Expect After BodyTite?

BodyTite requires very little downtime, and you can return home after your procedure. Most patients experience only a little bruising or swelling after treatment, and only mild discomfort. You’ll begin to see results after about two weeks after the swelling starts to subside. It’s important to note that your results will continue to refine for 3-6 months after treatment. Generally, only one treatment is needed for excellent, contoured results. Read our blog to learn more about the benefits of BodyTite here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you freeze your fat off at home?

We are excited to offer dual CoolSculpting here in our office! CoolSculpting is a great option for patients that want to avoid the recovery and downtime associated with surgery. Patients can target stubborn pockets of localized fat through non-invasive technology.

Can ultrasound melt fat?

CoolSculpting does not utilize ultrasound technology. CoolSculpting utilizes a temperature-controlled chamber to deliver both consistent and effective outcomes.

Does insurance cover body contouring?

While CoolSculpting is considered to be an out-of-pocket expense, here at CARE Plastic Surgery we offer several financing options for our patients. We strive to find the best option to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.

Does body sculpting work on cellulite?

CoolSculpting is designed to eliminate fat cells through a patient’s bodily systems. As cellulite refers to the overall quality of the skin, CoolSculpting does not address or improve the appearance of cellulite.

How do you smooth out cellulite?

While cellulite can be a rather difficult concern to address, here at CARE we offer many different products and services to improve overall skin quality.

How long does body contouring last?

As long as you maintain your weight, you can expect your CoolSculpting results to last long-term. However, life events such as pregnancy and aging may impact your long-term results.

How safe is body sculpting?

Here at CARE, we pride ourselves on prioritizing patient safety and outcomes. With the newest CoolSculpting technology on the market, our providers give excellent results without surgical intervention.

Is body contouring permanent?

Your CoolSculpting results can be considered permanent if you maintain your standard diet and exercise routine. With proper weight maintenance, your results will still be noticeable. If you ate a cookie every day before your CoolSculpting treatment, you can still eat a cookie every day and have visible results.
