FAQs

What is BodyTite, and how does it differ from traditional liposuction?

BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively removes stubborn fat and tightens skin by combining radio frequency (RF) energy with liposuction. Unlike traditional liposuction, which primarily focuses on fat removal, BodyTite also addresses skin laxity, offering improved results in body contouring and skin tightening. The procedure utilizes a state-of-the-art handheld device that delivers RF energy internally and externally, making it a more comprehensive approach to body sculpting.

Which areas of the body can be treated with BodyTite?

BodyTite can target areas where stubborn fat accumulates, especially as we age. Common treatment areas include:

Under the arms, lower chest wall, hips, belly, buttocks, behind the knees and upper legs, back and flanks, and arms. These areas can be challenging to trim through diet and exercise alone, and BodyTite effectively reduces fat and tightens skin in these regions.

How does BodyTite work to remove fat and tighten skin?

BodyTite employs a sophisticated handheld device that delivers RF energy through a tiny incision, reaching subcutaneous fat and the skin. The internal probe administers RF energy to unwanted fat and collagen, causing them to swell and harden. A small suction tube then removes the undesirable tissue. Simultaneously, the external electrode heats and tightens the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity. This dual-action approach leads to improved body contouring and skin tightening.

Is BodyTite a safe procedure?

Yes, BodyTite is an FDA-approved procedure known for its safety and effectiveness. Dr. Layton prioritizes patient safety and comfort throughout the process, ensuring a thorough understanding of each patient’s needs before the treatment. As a result, the procedure is minimally invasive, and there are fewer incisions than with traditional methods, which reduces the risk of complications. Most patients require only a local anesthetic, and significant safety data from clinical trials back the procedure.

What can I expect during and after a BodyTite procedure?

During a BodyTite procedure, the treatment takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed. Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable experience. After the procedure, patients typically experience less downtime and a shorter recovery period compared to traditional liposuction. You may notice some swelling and bruising, but these effects are usually minimal and resolve quickly. A few days after surgery, patients are generally able to resume normal activities.

Who is a good candidate for BodyTite?

BodyTite is ideal for individuals in good health, maintaining a stable weight, and having areas of stubborn fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. It is especially beneficial for those looking to improve skin tightness and contour their bodies as they age. A consultation with Dr. Layton at our Houston office will help determine your specific needs and what BodyTite can do for you.
