BodyTite
Advanced Body Contouring & Skin Tightening
Stubborn fat and loose skin can be incredibly frustrating to deal with, especially when diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to achieve the toned look you want. If you’re struggling with persistent pockets of fat, sagging skin and cellulite, BodyTite can shape and contour nearly any area of the body using advanced radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis technology.
Miami, FL, has become a hub for cosmetic treatments, both surgical and nonsurgical. BodyTite is a method that bridges the gap between the two, providing deeper skin contraction and tightening with a less invasive technique that is low-downtime. At PURE Plastic Surgery, we can use this device to enhance surgical results or as a standalone treatment for unwanted fat and loose skin.
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is an advanced body contouring system developed by InMode, an award-winning provider of innovative medical technologies. It is designed to treat loose skin and localized fat that is resistant to diet or exercise. BodyTite may also reduce cellulite and improve overall skin texture. It targets most areas where loose skin and stubborn fatty deposits are a concern to sculpt a slimmer physique without the need for extensive surgery, including the following:
- Stomach
- Hips & thighs
- Waist
- Chest
- Back
- Flanks
- Buttocks
- Above the knees
- Upper arms
With the FaceTite and AccuTite handpieces, treatment can also be performed on smaller areas, such as the chin and jawline. BodyTite can be used anywhere traditional liposuction can be done and is particularly beneficial for patients with stubborn fat and mild to moderate skin laxity.
What Can BodyTite Address?
BodyTite body contouring can help improve areas where skin laxity and unwanted fat create concerns about shape and firmness, including:
- Stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise
- Mild to moderate skin looseness
- Smoother transitions between treated zones
- More defined contours without large incisions
What treatment options are available?
There are multiple technologies available on the BodyTite workstation to help you achieve your goals. At PURE, we offer BodyTite, FaceTite and AccuTite, and Morpheus8 microneedling.
BodyTite
BodyTite is a body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with RF energy to remove unwanted fat and tighten the skin simultaneously. It is mainly used for the body.
FaceTite with AccuTite
FaceTite and AccuTite are more precise versions of BodyTite that are performed on the face and neck. They can remove small pockets of fat without large scars or downtime.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with bipolar RF energy to tighten the skin, improve texture and trigger the body’s natural healing response. It can be used on the face or body.
How does
Bodytite work?
BodyTite uses a unique dual-action approach called radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to help you achieve your goals. It combines liposuction and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the subdermal tissues, melt fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This advanced technique allows for precise body sculpting, providing results that are comparable to traditional liposuction but with less downtime and more significant skin-tightening benefits.
The BodyTite device comprises two probes attached to a handpiece: an internal cannula that emits RF energy, and an external electrode that glides along the surface of the skin. During the procedure, RF energy flows between these two probes, creating a thermal field that melts unwanted fat cells and makes them easier to remove. Thermal energy also causes the soft tissues to contract, tightening the skin and preventing sagging once the fat has been removed.
The cannula is thinner than those used for traditional liposuction and is inserted into the skin much like a needle. The incision sites are smaller (about ⅛”) and chosen carefully to minimize visibility. Once they’ve healed, they are barely noticeable! Multiple areas can be treated at once to address your exact needs and help you achieve your unique body contouring goals.
Ideal candidates for BodyTite
BodyTite is an excellent option for people who want to tighten the skin and get rid of small pockets of localized fat without extensive surgery or scarring. Compared to traditional liposuction, BodyTite can improve body contours with less downtime and a shorter recovery period. At PURE, we typically recommend this procedure for men and women who:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Want to eliminate pockets of stubborn fat
- Have mild gynecomastia
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
- Are close to their ideal weight
BodyTite isn’t recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have been diagnosed with autoimmune disease. If you have severe skin laxity, there may be other body contouring procedures that are more effective. It is also not intended as a shortcut to weight loss, but as a solution for addressing stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge despite diet or exercise. Patients near their goal weight with a healthy BMI will see the best results.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
A BodyTite consultation is a time when we can discuss all of the factors that may or may not make this treatment right for you. We can talk about what your goals and expectations are and whether BodyTite can provide the results you are looking for. We will go into more detail about what you can expect from your treatment and recovery, and show you before-and-after pictures of cases similar to yours.
When you come for your consultation, remember to bring your ID, a complete health history, and a list of questions and concerns that you have about the treatment. We will go over your medical information in detail to make sure you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.
What to expect
during treatment
BodyTite works in conjunction with liposuction to actively remove fat from the body and tighten the skin, but it doesn’t come with the same lengthy recovery time nor does it require complex surgical techniques. It is performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs, preferences and the number of areas being treated.
During treatment, your surgeon will make small incisions to insert the BodyTite cannula, while the external electrode stays atop the surface of your skin. They will move the device back and forth as it emits RF energy, liquefying fat cells so they can be easily suctioned away. Throughout your procedure, temperatures are monitored in real time to prevent thermal injury to the skin.
Each area takes about an hour to treat, and multiple areas can be targeted in one procedure. Typically, most patients only require one treatment session to tighten the skin and get rid of stubborn fat. Afterward, you’ll be free to return home and begin the recovery process.
BodyTite recovery
BodyTite requires a shorter recovery period than more invasive surgical procedures like liposuction. Most patients can expect around three to five days of downtime, though this can vary depending on the size and scope of areas that were treated. Side effects such as bruising, soreness and swelling may occur, but these symptoms are normal and typically subside within the first week. While exercise is not recommended until you’re fully recovered, you may return to work and other light activities within a few days.
Your surgeon will ask you to use a compression garment in treated areas while your body heals to reduce swelling and help the skin adjust to your new contours. Our team will advise you on how often to wear this garment and provide you with additional aftercare instructions to ensure the best results. If you have any questions during any point in your recovery, feel free to contact our Miami office — we’re always happy to address your concerns so you feel confident and supported from your first consultation to your final follow-up appointment!
Aftercare Following BodyTite
Following a body sculpting procedure, simple steps can help you stay comfortable and support the healing process:
- Keep short walks in your routine. Gentle movement can support circulation without stressing treated areas.
- Stay hydrated and choose lighter meals to help your body manage fluid shifts more comfortably.
- Use cool compresses as recommended. This can reduce inflammation and soothe warmth or sensitivity after your treatment.
Avoid workouts and heavy lifting until cleared. Give your tissues time to settle so you can move through recovery with fewer setbacks.
Side Effects and Risks of BodyTite
BodyTite skin tightening can involve expected effects as your tissues respond to the treatment, such as:
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Temporary numbness
- Tenderness
- Mild firmness in treated areas
BodyTite results
BodyTite provides excellent body contouring results that are immediately visible after treatment. However, improvements continue to develop as swelling and other side effects dissipate. You’ll be able to see more noticeable fat reduction within two weeks, but the skin tightening effects take longer to appear. The RF energy used in BodyTite stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness over the course of the following three to six months.
BodyTite has been clinically proven to cause a 25-45% contraction of soft tissue to create a firmer, more contoured appearance. These results are considered long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Once unwanted fat is removed, it’s gone for good, but maintaining a stable weight is crucial for preserving the effects of your BodyTite treatment.
Maintaining Your BodyTite Results
You can support and extend the results of your BodyTite procedure by being mindful of your lifestyle and habits after the appointment. Removing fat helps the area stay slim because the liquefied fat cells do not grow back. However, you will still be able to gain weight in the treated area. We recommended a consistent fitness routine paired with nutritious foods to keep your results stable and to improve your overall health. Sun protection and good skincare are also important for keeping the area tight and firm.
