How Is BodyTite® Performed?
BodyTite® by InMode® is a body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to help reduce excess fat and tighten skin.
While traditional liposuction surgery removes pockets of fat with the use of a cannula, which loosens fat up and then vacuums it out of the body, it does not correct skin laxity. BodyTite®, however, is able to remove fat and tighten loose skin at the same time.
BodyTite® is generally performed under local anesthesia, though general anesthesia can be used if multiple areas are being treated together.
After the anesthesia has been administered, your BodyTite® provider will make a small incision in the target area. The BodyTite® applicator is then inserted through this incision and radiofrequency (RF) energy is emitted to heat the area. The radiofrequency heat effectively liquefies the fat, allowing for easier removal from the body.
As the fat is being liquified and removed, the radiofrequency waves help to tighten the connective tissues and skin while promoting the production of collagen (which is responsible for the skin’s overall health and strength).
Most BodyTite® treatments take anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
