What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a body contouring technique renowned for its remarkable skin-tightening effects. The procedure involves employing a small 18-gauge cannula, inserted through a minute needle prick hole. Affixed to the cannula is a circular disc positioned atop the skin. Radiofrequency energy transmitted from the internal electrode cannula to the external disc safely heats the fat and adjacent tissues. Subsequently, the liquefied fat is removed using liposuction. The radiofrequency energy penetrates the dermis layer, inducing skin contraction and firming in the treated area.

BodyTite Procedure
BodyTite is conducted under local anesthesia. To prepare for the procedure, a tumescent solution containing a low dose of Lidocaine and saline solution is injected to numb the area and minimize bruising by constricting blood vessels. The entry points for BodyTite™ are tiny, approximately 2 mm in diameter, often only necessitating a bandaid for closure. These entry points typically do not result in scarring.
