BodyTite

Introduction

Introduction to BodyTite

BodyTite uses powerful radiofrequency energy to remodel the physique, eradicating sagging skin without the higher risks and longer downtime of plastic surgery. Our team at Gentile Plastic Surgery in Youngstown and Akron, OH, is thrilled to offer our Cleveland patients access to this cutting-edge body contouring technology.

What is
BodyTite?

BodyTite from InMode relies on bipolar radiofrequency energy to address stubborn fat and skin laxity. During treatment, a small electrode is placed above the treatment zone. A 1-2 mm incision is made under the skin, and a slender tube (cannula) is inserted. The RF energy then travels from the electrode to the cannula, liquifying unwanted fat cells and coagulating tissue to achieve impressive body-sculpting results. The thermal energy also heats the skin’s deeper layers, triggering renewed collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking contours.

Who are the
best candidates
for BodyTite?

BodyTite is not a weight-loss solution. However, it can help to firm lax skin and remove stubborn pockets of localized fat. It is a helpful solution for reshaping the figure after aging, pregnancy, or massive weight loss. Some patients even consider BodyTite to be a viable alternative to a more invasive tummy tuck or mommy makeover, as the treatment can successfully address lax skin and excess fat in the abdomen, thighs, arms, lower back, buttocks, knees, and calves.

To qualify for BodyTite in Youngstown, Akron, and the greater Cleveland area, patients should be healthy, non-smoking, stable-weight individuals who are realistic about their expectations for results. Our team will conduct a thorough consultation to ensure BodyTite matches your goals well.

What’s the
First Step?

To begin your journey to a more youthful, sculpted figure with BodyTite in Youngstown or Akron, OH, you will meet with our aesthetic providers, overseen by double-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard D. Gentile. During this initial meeting, we will conduct an in-depth physical evaluation and thorough review of your medical history. We will listen carefully to your concerns about your appearance and create a success-oriented treatment plan that addresses your issues.

Once your appointment date is booked, we will provide detailed preparation instructions to make your treatment journey seamless and stress-free. For best results with BodyTite, stop smoking and consuming alcohol for at least 2-3 weeks prior to your session. Also, stop taking any medications that can increase the risk of swelling, bruising, or bleeding. Maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen as well.

What to Expect
on the Day of
BodyTite Treatment

Treatment with BodyTite differs from other radiofrequency devices because the RF energy is delivered externally via a probe and internally via a cannula. This allows for highly controlled and precise heating that results in tighter, firmer skin and reduced pockets of fat.

BodyTite is considered a safety-oriented treatment, as the skin’s inner and outer temperatures are continuously monitored throughout the session to minimize side effects. Despite the tiny incisions made during BodyTite, the procedure is minimally invasive and comes with limited downtime. It can be performed on its own or in combination with traditional liposuction for more comprehensive sculpting results.

During the BodyTite treatment process, patients usually only need local anesthesia. However, IV sedation is a possibility if needed. To begin, your provider will make a small incision and insert the internal device probe while the second external probe remains at the skin’s surface. Bipolar radiofrequency energy then flows between the probes, stimulating the regrowth of collagen, a vital skin-firming protein.

BodyTite Recovery

BodyTite comes with minimal downtime, especially when compared to surgical procedures like abdominoplasty or a thigh lift. Common side effects are mild swelling, redness, and soreness in the treatment zones. However, these symptoms can be well-controlled through pain medications and ample rest. Most patients resume work within 2-4 days, provided that their jobs are sedentary. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least one month after BodyTite. A compression garment should be worn under clothing for around 6 weeks to help reduce swelling and promote long-lasting body sculpting results.
