BodyTite

  • Loose skin and stubborn fat are among the most common cosmetic concerns that lead men and women to pursue plastic surgery yearly. However, many patients are interested in a less invasive and more convenient alternative to surgery.
  • For these patients, Évoluer Aesthetics offers the revolutionary BodyTite system.
  • BodyTite is an innovative treatment system that resculpts areas of loose, wrinkled skin or stubborn fat through advanced radiofrequency energy.
  • Mostly it is combined with liposuction. In some cases, it can be used as a standalone procedure.

Where can BodyTite be used?

  • BodyTite, which can be highly beneficial for both men and women, is often used to make enhancements in the following areas:

  • Neck
  • Bra-line
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Flanks
  • Breast
  • Buttocks
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Knees
  • Arms
  • BodyTite can treat multiple during a single session for a complete transformation.

How it works ?

  • BodyTite is an innovative treatment system that resculpts loose, wrinkled skin or stubborn fat areas through advanced radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL), suction energy, and other technologies.
  • BodyTite is a highly engineered electro‐surgical device with a computer-controlled Radio‐ Frequency (RF) generator. 
  • It delivers precise heat energy to liquefy fat cells, tighten the skin, and promote the body’s natural production of collagen for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
  • The BodyTite delivers the RF energy to the tissue through the bipolar RF handpiece.
  • The handpiece has two electrodes, internal and external. The inner electrode is inserted into the adipose, i.e., fatty tissue in the subcutaneous space. In contrast, the external electrode is applied to the skin surface above the tip of the internal electrode. 
  • The RF current travels from the internal electrode‐cannula up to the external electrode and back, generating heat in the treatment zone. The RF-generated heat coagulates adipose tissue and causes collagen shrinkage and skin tightening.
  • Most of the internal electrode is coated with silicone along the length of the electrode to prevent heating at the incision port.
  • BodyTite provides unprecedented three-dimensional contraction of the dermis, subdermal connective tissue matrix, and subcutaneous fat. It offers superior body contouring and delivers results only previously achieved through more extensive surgical procedures.

Revolutionary features of the BodyTite device provide the following benefits:

  • Fast and uniform fat coagulation and liquefaction over large surface areas. 
  • Minimal bleeding, bruising and pain from adipose and vascular tissue coagulation. 
  • Maintaining skin temperature at a predetermined level for better tightening and skin contraction.

Who are ideal candidates for a BodyTite procedure?

  • Suitable candidates for BodyTite treatment are healthy patients with average body weight but need areas of fat removed that are impervious to diet or exercise. 
  • Patients with BMI>36 (Weight Kg2/Height cm) or with excessively decreased skin tone and elasticity may have a marginal benefit from the BodyTite treatment.

  • Generally, it is combined with liposuction as the results will improve once excess fat is aspirated. 
  • Proposed treatment area is sterilized with sterilizing solution and clean draped.
  • A small 5mm incision port is made for passing the internal electrode. This incision will be in hidden regions as much as possible and generally heals without any scar.
  • A body title handpiece with internal and external electrodes is used to deliver radiofrequency.
  • The inner electrode is passed through the incision port, and the BodyTite handpiece is moved slowly, methodically, and systematically back and forth, tunneling through the subcutaneous adipose tissue. 
  • Our doctors will decide the appropriate level of depth and energy to be delivered.
  • Generally, the procedure takes a couple of hours.
