BodyTite

BodyTite uses bipolar radiofrequency to treat localized fat and skin laxity in a single minimally invasive procedure. It can be applied to areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, and under the chin — on its own or combined with liposuction.

Goals of the procedure

  • Treat localized fat and skin laxity in a single procedure

  • Use minimally invasive radiofrequency technology

  • Combine with liposuction, when indicated

Every procedure has indications, contraindications, and risks. An individual evaluation with a physician is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.

Frequently asked questions

What patients usually ask.

How does BodyTite work?

Bipolar radiofrequency heats the tissues in a controlled manner, from the inside and the outside, acting on the fat and stimulating skin contraction.

Is it surgery?

It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a properly equipped office setting or in an operating room, depending on the extent and the case.

Who can perform the procedure?

It is a medical procedure, performed by a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist trained in the technology.

Does it replace a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)?

Not necessarily. Pronounced laxity with excess skin usually calls for surgery; radiofrequency addresses milder degrees. The evaluation determines the appropriate path.
