What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is an advanced aesthetic medicine procedure that uses subcutaneous radiofrequency technology to eliminate localized fat while simultaneously firming and toning the skin.

Normally, BodyTite is used as a complement to liposuction and is performed in an operating room.

Its main purpose is to provide effective and safe body contouring.

What is it for?

BodyTite is indicated for body contouring, reduction of localized fat, and body skin laxity.

BodyTite works to reduce localized fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, and double chin, where diet and exercise are often not enough to achieve the desired results. In addition, it is especially recommended for treating skin laxity, as its radiofrequency technology allows for controlled tissue heating, stimulating collagen production and promoting firmer, more toned skin. By combining fat elimination with skin tightening, BodyTite stands out as a comprehensive treatment for those looking not only to reduce volume but also to improve skin quality and appearance.

How does it work?

The doctor inserts the cannula through a small 2-3mm incision in the treatment area and, by applying controlled radiofrequency energy, BodyTite melts the localized fat, allowing it to be aspirated through liposuction, while also stimulating collagen production, promoting skin firmness and reducing laxity.

It is a versatile solution that can be applied to various areas of the body.

BodyTite is performed in an operating room under local anesthesia.

After the procedure is completed, the small incisions are closed and covered with dressings.

Advantages of BodyTite

As a treatment for fat reduction and body skin laxity, BodyTite offers numerous advantages, including:

  • It is less invasive than “traditional” surgeries, as the incisions are very small and the cannula is very thin, resulting in almost imperceptible scars and less postoperative discomfort;
  • Because it is a minimally “aggressive” procedure, the recovery time is quite short (ranging from 2 to 5 days);
  • In addition to fat reduction, the radiofrequency stimulates the natural production of collagen, improving skin firmness and texture, which does not occur with traditional surgeries;
  • The first more noticeable results begin to appear about three weeks after the treatment, with progressive improvements over the following weeks;
  • There is a lower risk of irregularities, as the controlled action of the radiofrequency allows for a more uniform distribution of the removed fat and skin tightening.

Application Areas

BodyTite can be used to treat various areas of the body, including:

  • Abdomen: To eliminate abdominal fat and achieve a more defined contour;
  • Thighs: To reduce cellulite and improve skin firmness in the thighs;
  • Arms: To eliminate sagging and fat in the upper arms;
  • Back: To remove fat deposits from the back and achieve a more sculpted appearance;
  • Flanks and waist: To define the waist and reduce “love handles”;
  • Neck and chin: To improve neck definition and reduce the double chin.

Expected Results

Body contouring results with BodyTite start to become visible after 3 weeks and progressively improve up to 6 months. The results may be permanent, depending, however, on the patient’s future lifestyle habits.

Scientific studies (*) have demonstrated the effectiveness of BodyTite in reducing fat and body laxity.

Frequently Asked Questions

BodyTite is ideal for those seeking significant contouring, fat removal, and body skin tightening.

BodyTite requires a single procedure that may last between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the area to be treated and the extent of the procedure.

The results of the BodyTite treatment start to appear immediately, with progressive improvements over the following 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases and the skin continues to tighten.

Before undergoing BodyTite, the patient usually receives local anesthesia or mild sedation to minimize discomfort during the procedure. This means that the area to be treated will be temporarily numb to pain.

The perception of pain varies from person to person. Some patients may report only slight pressure or discomfort during the procedure, while others may experience more discomfort. Physicians usually monitor the patient during the procedure and can adjust the anesthesia as needed to ensure comfort.

Pain may also vary depending on the area of the body where BodyTite is being applied. Some areas may be more sensitive than others. For example, procedures on the face or neck (usually with the FaceTite cannula) may be more sensitive than those performed on areas such as the flanks.

Recovery is generally quick (usually 2-5 days). However, it is still important to follow your doctor’s instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

As mentioned earlier, recovery is generally quick (usually 2-5 days). However, it is important to follow Dr. Francisco Martins de Carvalho’s instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

Some common guidelines include:

  • Rest: It is essential to allow your body time to recover.
  • Adequate rest in the first few days after the procedure is important;
  • Wearing compression garments: Wearing compression garments can help reduce swelling and keep the skin firm;
  • Medication: The doctor may prescribe medication to control pain and swelling;
  • Physical activity: Avoid intense physical activities for a period specified by the doctor;
  • Incision care: Keep the incisions clean and dry, following the doctor’s instructions.

Yes, BodyTite has some contraindications that should be taken into consideration. It is essential for the physician to assess your eligibility for the procedure during an initial consultation. Below are some of the contraindications for BodyTite:

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: BodyTite is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women;

Uncontrolled Health Conditions: People with uncontrolled medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, untreated high blood pressure, or severe heart problems may not be suitable candidates for BodyTite. These conditions must be under control before considering any cosmetic procedure;

Active Infections: If you have an active infection in the treatment area or anywhere in the body, the procedure should be postponed until the infection is completely treated and healed;

Recent Surgery or Incomplete Healing: If you have recently undergone surgery in the treatment area or are still in the healing process from a previous surgery, BodyTite may not be appropriate until healing is complete;

Compromised Blood Clotting: Individuals with blood clotting disorders or those taking anticoagulant medications may not be suitable candidates for BodyTite due to the increased risk of bruising and bleeding;

Allergies: If you have known allergies to local anesthetics or other medications used during the procedure, it is important to inform your doctor to avoid allergic reactions;

Severe Obesity: BodyTite is most effective for individuals who are close to their ideal weight or have only small localized fat deposits. It is not a solution for severe obesity.

To determine if you are eligible for the treatment, schedule a consultation.

BodyTite is considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified physician, as is the case at Living Clinic.

However, like any medical procedure, there are always some risks and considerations to keep in mind:

Some patients may experience temporary bruising and swelling in the treated area. This is generally an expected part of the recovery process and tends to subside over time;

In some cases, there may be temporary changes in skin sensitivity in the treated area. This usually resolves over time;

Some patients may have reactions to the anesthesia administered during the procedure. However, these reactions are very rare and are usually closely monitored by the physician.
