About BodyTite™

BodyTite is an innovative and minimally invasive body sculpting procedure that offers a unique approach to addressing excess fat and skin laxity across various areas of the body, including the face and neck. BodyTite combines traditional liposuction techniques with cutting-edge radiofrequency energy; this combination not only removes unwanted fat but also stimulates collagen production, thickens the skin, and gradually tightens it over time. As a result, patients can achieve body sculpting results with minimal scarring.

1. What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is a minimally invasive workstation that utilizes directional radiofrequency (RF) technology to achieve body sculpting results. It provides subdermal tissue coagulation and bulk tissue heating to help contour and tighten the body.

2. Am I a good candidate for BodyTite?

Ideal candidates for BodyTite are generally healthy individuals who want to address mild to moderate skin laxity and stubborn fat in a less invasive manner than surgery. They are typically close to their goal weight and may have specific areas they wish to target for fat reduction and skin tightening.

3. What areas can be treated with BodyTite?

BodyTite can be used to target various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, love handles, and more. It is versatile and can be customized to address specific problem areas.

4. How does BodyTite work?

BodyTite works by delivering directional radiofrequency (RF) energy to the treatment area. This energy generates heat, which leads to subdermal tissue coagulation and bulk tissue heating. This process helps melt fat, tighten the skin, and stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved body contouring.

5. How is BodyTite performed?

Step 1 – Anesthesia

The patient is administered local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, ensuring their comfort during the procedure.

Step 2 – Incisions

Small, inconspicuous incisions are made in the target area. These incisions are usually relatively small, minimizing scarring.

Step 3 – Cannula Insertion

A thin, specialized cannula (tube) is inserted through the incisions into the subcutaneous fat layer. The cannula is equipped with a probe that emits radiofrequency (RF) energy.

Step 4 – RF Energy Delivery and Fat Removal

RF energy is directed into the underlying fat tissue. This energy has a dual purpose: it liquefies fat cells for easier removal and simultaneously heats the tissue, stimulating collagen production and skin tightening. As the RF energy is applied, the liquefied fat is gently suctioned out through a cannula, effectively contouring the area and eliminating excess fat while enhancing the overall skin tightness and contour.

Step 5 – Closure and Recovery

Once the desired results have been achieved, the surgeon closes the small incisions with sutures. Patients are then monitored for a brief period and are subsequently allowed to return home to begin their recovery process.

6. How long does BodyTite take?

The duration of a BodyTite procedure can vary depending on several factors, including the size and number of areas being treated and whether the patient is opting to combine BodyTite with liposuction. Generally, the duration of the procedure may range from 1 to 3 hours.

7. What is recovery like after BodyTite?

Patients typically experience a faster recovery and less discomfort than traditional surgical procedures. In most cases, individuals can resume light activities within a few days and gradually return to regular routines within a couple of weeks. It’s important to note that some common post-procedure effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and, in certain instances, numbness in the treated area. Depending on whether the procedure was combined with liposuction, downtime can vary. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for approximately 4-6 weeks, but gentler forms of exercise can be resumed after about 1-2 weeks.

8. How soon will I see results?

Patients undergoing a BodyTite procedure typically see initial results shortly after the treatment. However, the full extent of the outcome becomes more apparent as the swelling subsides and the treated area heals. The improvements may progress over the following weeks and months as the skin tightens and adapts to its newly contoured appearance. It’s important to note that the final and most comprehensive results may require several months to fully develop as the skin undergoes the healing process and collagen remodelling. Generally, patients can anticipate seeing the final results of their BodyTite procedure within 3 to 6 months.

9. How long do results last?

BodyTite results have been proven to last for years and, in some cases, may be permanent, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise. While the natural aging process will continue, the improvements in body contouring and skin tightening should remain sustainable over time.

10. How much does BodyTite cost in Canada?

The cost of BodyTite can vary significantly, depending on factors such as geographic location, treatment area, and the surgeon’s level of experience. On average, individuals seeking BodyTite procedures in Canada can expect the cost to fall between $5,500 and $14,500.

11. What are the risks of BodyTite?

  • Infection
  • Scarring
  • Burns
  • Uneven results
  • Allergic reaction to anesthesia
