Sculpt Your Body, Define Your Confidence
Perfect Skin Center, with locations in Tempe and Scottsdale, AZ, offers BodyTite, an innovative body contouring treatment by INMODE that uses radiofrequency energy to reduce stubborn fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. This minimally invasive treatment is an effective option for patients looking for a liposuction alternative as it requires minimal downtime and immediate results.
What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite by InMode is a minimally invasive procedure designed to tighten skin, improve body contours, and reduce unwanted fat. It utilizes radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to achieve these results. The BodyTite procedure delivers temperature controlled radiofrequency energy to heat the fat and stimulate collagen production in the skin, leading to tighter, more youthful-looking skin and a reduction in fat in the treated areas.
This incredible technology allows for significant improvements with less downtime and lower risk of complications and scarring compared to traditional liposuction or surgical body lifts. BodyTite can be used on various parts of the body, including the abdomen, arms, breasts, thighs, and knees, to provide a more toned and contoured appearance.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. It’s important for individuals considering BodyTite to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss their goals, expectations, and whether they are good candidates for the procedure.
What Are the Benefits?
Patients who want to reduce body fat and tighten the skin after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or in combination with their healthy lifestyle to enhance the results of a regular exercise regimen can now do so with this unique non-surgical body contouring treatment. BodyTite by InMode is a minimally invasive procedure that offers several benefits for those looking to improve their body contours without the extensive downtime associated with surgery. Here’s a simplified overview of its advantages:
- Less Invasive: Small incisions mean less scarring and lower infection risk.
- Quick Recovery: Most people can get back to their daily routines quickly.
- Tightens Skin: Stimulates collagen for firmer skin in addition to reducing fat.
- Accurate and Safe: Precise energy control minimizes risks and ensures even treatment.
- Visible Improvements: Immediate results that get better over time as the skin tightens.
- Versatile: Effective on many body parts, including challenging areas like arms and thighs.
- Less Pain: Generally involves minimal discomfort compared to traditional surgeries.
- Boosts Confidence: Enhances appearance and self-esteem by achieving desired body contours.
What Can BodyTite Treat?
We use BodyTite to treat stubborn fat and tighten the skin in the most common problem areas. We use it on the abdomen, arms, chest, inner and outer thighs, and knees, among other areas. Patients will have the option to treat one or multiple areas during a single appointment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients only need one BodyTite treatment to achieve their ideal results. Once we evaluate the areas you want to treat, we can get a better idea of your treatment goals and then design your treatment plan accordingly.
When Will I See the Results?
After undergoing this treatment, patients can expect some immediate results. The best results are evident within the first six months and will continue to improve up to 12 months after treatment. The body will respond by eliminating fat cells and increasing collagen and elastin production, reducing fat volume and creating tighter and firmer skin.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results of the treatment are long-lasting. Since this device heats and breaks down stubborn fat cells, the body will permanently dispose of any extra waste, and those fat cells won’t return. Maintaining a healthy body weight after this treatment will ensure that any additional fat cells in the area that weren’t treated by the device don’t expand and negatively impact results.
The skin tightening results of this treatment are long-lasting, and you can enjoy tighter and firmer skin and improved body contours for years after the treatment. Since the aging process can’t be stopped, you may experience skin laxity at some point in the future but we are more than happy to schedule another session to tighten those areas and maintain your results.
What Happens During a Treatment?
Before beginning this treatment, we’ll apply a topical numbing solution to the skin to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the session. Then, we’ll cleanse your treatment area and insert the internal probe through a small incision.
The internal probe will break down stubborn fat cells in the treatment area, and at the same time, the external probe will work to tighten the skin from the surface layer. Treating each treatment zone takes approximately 15 minutes.
Is There Any Downtime?
You won’t have to plan for significant social downtime after this treatment. You will need to follow some aftercare instructions before resuming your normal daily activities, like avoiding strenuous exercise for a certain amount of time to allow your body to heal and for the skin to settle into new contours.
You must temporarily avoid certain products that could irritate the treatment area, drink plenty of water, and avoid smoking and alcohol to prevent inflammation, so your body can adequately heal. You’ll also need to avoid swimming, hot tubs, and baths for at least a week after treatment.
Can BodyTite Be Combined With Other Treatments?
BodyTite is paired with the Morpheus8 microneedling treatment so you will receive a comprehensive aesthetic solution that addresses both deeper tissue remodeling and surface skin rejuvenation. This synergistic approach utilizes the strengths of both technologies to enhance overall results.
Here’s a detailed explanation of how the process unfolds and the benefits it brings:
Immediate Follow-up with Morpheus8
After completing the BodyTite procedure the treatment area is then treated with Morpheus8. Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling procedure with focused energy on the skin’s surface and immediate subdermal layers. This seamless transition from deep tissue remodeling to surface skin enhancement is designed to maximize the body’s natural healing response.
How Morpheus8 Complements BodyTite
- Stimulating Collagen Production: Morpheus8 promotes the production of collagen and elastin, crucial proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. The radiofrequency energy heats the underlying layers, enhancing this effect and leading to firmer, smoother skin.
- Refining Skin Texture and Tone: By targeting the superficial layers of the skin, Morpheus8 can reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks, improving the overall texture and tone of the skin. This makes it an excellent treatment for surface imperfections that BodyTite alone may not address.
- Customizable Treatment Depths: Morpheus8 allows for adjustable penetration depths, enabling a tailored approach to meet individual skin concerns. This adaptability ensures that both deeper skin issues and surface-level imperfections are effectively targeted during the same treatment session.
Benefits of Combining Treatments
- Enhanced Results: The combination of BodyTite and Morpheus8 provides a more comprehensive aesthetic improvement than either treatment could achieve alone. Patients see a reduction in fat, tighter skin, and a smoother, more youthful skin surface.
- Reduced Downtime: By combining these treatments into one session, patients benefit from a reduced overall recovery time compared to undergoing separate procedures.
- Greater Satisfaction: This dual approach addresses a wide range of concerns, from loose, sagging skin and excess fat to fine lines and textural irregularities, leading to higher patient satisfaction.
Am I a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for this treatment are patients who want to experience results similar to liposuction but don’t want to commit to a surgical procedure to achieve improved body contours. BodyTite meets the needs of patients in good health who are committed to a healthy lifestyle, clean diet, and regular exercise routine but can’t improve certain body areas because of loose skin and stubborn fat that remains resistant to their healthy lifestyle.
Patients with loose or wrinkled skin can benefit from a treatment as it increases skin elasticity to correct how weight loss or aging has negatively affected the skin in different body areas.
Tighten and Tone Your Body
If you’re looking for a minimally invasive treatment to contour your body without committing to the costs, recovery, and downtime associated with traditional body contouring surgical procedures, you may be the perfect candidate for BodyTite. We can give you all the details about this treatment, how it works, and what to expect at your consultation, and then customize a treatment plan that will help reduce stubborn fat and tighten your skin so you can enjoy improved body contours long-term.
