BodyTite. As its name implies, BodyTite removes fatty tissue and tightens the skin for a firmer, and more contoured appearance. It’s a revolutionary contouring procedure popular among patients wishing to tackle all the common problem areas including the abs, thighs, buttocks, back and love handles. Requiring minor incisions, leaving no scars, and resulting in little to no recovery downtime, With BodyTite Miami patients of all mature ages can benefit. This procedure is for those who want all of the gains but none of the setbacks associated with other traditional body contouring options.
surgical precision
BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that capitalizes on the power of what is called radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL). That is, radiofrequency energy assisting in the breakdown of fat. The RF energy further helps in toning the body and tightening the skin itself.
Thus, BodyTite is a dual-purpose and dual-action procedure, helping to remove fatty tissue and tighten the skin at the same time. BodyTite is among the most advanced minimally-invasive body and skin-contouring RF energy treatments available. Patented, proprietary technology allows it to produce as much as a 50% reduction in excess fatty tissue and skin laxity, with treatments concluding within 30 to 60 minutes, and with “surgical precision,” as its handpiece is easily maneuvered.

Ideal Candidates
Patients with stubborn fatty pockets, and those with problem areas they wish to target for contouring, fat reduction, and skin tightening make great candidates for BodyTite.
surgical-like results
During treatment, BodyTite’s special cannula is inserted just beneath the skin while the other half of the apparatus rides above the skin.
RF energy is channeled between the two sides of the device, producing thermal (heat) energy within the fibroseptal network that breaks down fatty tissue and tightens tissue tissue. To prevent damage to the surface of the skin, the temperature on its exterior surface is kept at half that of the internal temperature (where fat breakdown is occurring). The breakthrough of BodyTite bridges the gap between non-invasive and surgical procedures. It is a minimally invasive procedure with surgical-like results.
BodyTite and its counterpart, FaceTite, can treat all areas of the body commonly afflicted with skin laxity and stubborn fatty tissue. These areas include:
Yes, within limits. BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to melt fat and simultaneously heat the tissue beneath the skin, which triggers collagen contraction and remodeling. Published results show meaningful skin contraction in appropriate candidates. It works best for mild to moderate laxity — it will not replace a tummy tuck or body lift for significant loose skin.
Most patients return to desk work within three to five days. Expect swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area for one to two weeks, with a compression garment worn for several weeks to support the result. Strenuous exercise is typically restricted for two to three weeks. Final results continue to develop over three to six months as collagen remodels.
Standard liposuction removes fat but does nothing to tighten the overlying skin, which is why it works best for patients with good elasticity. BodyTite removes fat and delivers controlled heat to contract the skin at the same time. For patients with mild laxity who would otherwise be borderline liposuction candidates, this combination is often the deciding factor.
The fat removed during BodyTite is gone permanently, as those fat cells do not regenerate. The skin tightening effect typically lasts several years, though skin continues to age naturally afterward. Maintaining a stable weight is the single most important factor in preserving your result, since remaining fat cells can still enlarge.
