Four Areas of the Body to Contour with BodyTite Treatments

Even with the most diligent efforts in diet and exercise, many people struggle with stubborn areas of resistant fat and loose skin. This can be a frustrating problem and often prevents patients from enjoying the results of all of their hard work. For men and women hoping to shed those last few pounds and firm up loose, wrinkled skin as the final step in their body transformation without invasive cosmetic surgery, BodyTite may be a fitting solution. At Lazerdoc, board-certified physician and aesthetic expert Dr. Leah Waage helps Leavenworth, KS patients achieve their ultimate goals with the skin tightening and fat-reducing capabilities of minimally invasive BodyTite. Here, you’ll learn more about what to expect with BodyTite and where this exciting treatment can be used.

What does BodyTite do?

BodyTite is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to melt fat cells and stimulate collagen production, leaving patients with a slimmer and firmer overall look. During the procedure, which takes about one hour per treatment area, patients are kept comfortable with local anesthesia. The handheld BodyTite wand is inserted beneath the skin through tiny incisions, and RF energy is used to heat the fat cells and surrounding tissues, making fat easier to remove and encouraging the skin to become more taut over time. After suctioning out the liquefied fat cells, the incisions are closed with fine sutures.

Where can BodyTite be used?

One of the most beneficial aspects of RF fat reduction and skin tightening is that it can be used virtually head to toe, thanks to a wide range of applicators – like the FaceTite and AccuTite systems – designed to address even the smallest and most delicate areas, like the cheeks, neck, and under the eyes. Four of the most common treatment areas for BodyTite specifically include:

• Abdomen: Both the upper and lower abdomen, as well as the sides of the abdomen – often known as a muffin top – can be slimmed and tightened with BodyTite.
• Buttocks: With age, many people notice that they are holding on to excess fat and/or developing loose, wrinkled skin on the buttocks – both of which can be addressed with BodyTite.
• Thighs: Another common problem area when it comes to stubborn fat and sagging skin is the thighs. With BodyTite, patients can address concerns on both the inner and outer thighs for a complete and natural-looking transformation.
• Back: Bra roll fat, upper back fat, and lower back and flank fat can all be reduced with minimally invasive BodyTite.

Is BodyTite permanent?

Fat cells removed with BodyTite RF liposuction will not grow back, though subsequent weight gain can cause new fat cells to be generated and existing fat cells to become enlarged. For this reason, it is critical that patients maintain a stable weight after BodyTite through a healthy diet and regular exercise. The skin tightening results of BodyTite can also be long-lasting, but patients should keep in mind that the natural aging process will not stop and that they may experience changes to their skin elasticity in the future. To ensure the best and longest-lasting BodyTite results possible, be sure to:

• Maintain a stable weight
• Stay hydrated
• Minimize sun exposure
• Wear sunscreen
• Do not smoke

With a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care, the enhancements achieved with BodyTite can keep you looking and feeling your best for years.
