Understanding Exactly How BodyTite Treatments Work
BodyTite uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten up skin
and dissolve fat, making it easier to remove via liposuction. This relatively
new method is known as RFAL, or RF-Assisted Lipolysis. BodyTite can be
performed either alone or together with liposuction. The liposuction surgery
eliminates fat cells, while BodyTite's RF waves aid in tightening the skin. beamintro
Like the more popular liposuction, BodyTite only calls for
small cuts, so it's considered a procedure, not a surgical treatment. The
procedure is minimally invasive with no downtime. The ideal BodyTite candidate
is someone with persistent fat on the neck, arms, upper legs, abdomen, butt, or
knees.
What Areas Does BodyTite Treat?
Is BodyTite A Safe Treatment Option?
BodyTite is FDA-approved for use on the belly, arms, breast,
knees, and thighs. It’s officially considered risk-free. The surgeon utilizes a
computer to regulate the temperature, lowering your risk of being burned by the
thermal power.
Having your treatment performed by a Board Certified Plastic
Surgeon is the most effective way to ensure that the procedure goes off without
a hitch. So long as you choose an experienced professional and follow all of
the surgeon’s directions, BodyTite is an extremely safe and secure treatment.
What Takes Place During BodyTite Treatments?
While you wait for Dr. Vinyard or one of his nurse
practitioners to attend to you, you’ll sit comfortably in the VIPS office area.
After being brought into the treatment area, you’ll be able to sit or lie down
in a comfortable position. The surgeon or nurse practitioner will apply an
anesthetic gel to the area which you will be receiving treatment on. This gel
not only minimizes the pain that you will experience, but prevents the radio
frequency rays from harming your skin in the process. It might be slightly cool
to the touch. gaintrennds
The BodyTite device is connected to a handpiece, which the
surgeon will use to perform the treatment. The device utilizes two radio
frequency transmitting probes, one is slid into your body - through a small
incision, which the surgeon will make into your skin at the treatment location
- and the other is kept on the outside of the skin. As Dr. Vinyard moves the RF
handpiece, the device sends electrical currents between the two probes.
The probes produce heat through the use of these radio
frequencies that generates collagen, dissolves fat cells, and triggers the skin
to contract and tighten. The currents are directed at the undesirable fat
specifically. It heats the fat cells, causing them to swell and harden, making
them less difficult to eliminate.
Following the use of the RF waves, Dr. Vinyard will use a
thin tube to suck out the excess, warmed fat. The benefit of this procedure is
that the skin firming effect is considered better than anything else readily
available on the market and approved by the FDA today. It takes 30-45 minutes
to deal with each individual area. For those who want multiple areas to be
treated, the procedure can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.
What Are The Pros And Cons Of BodyTite?
Advantages of BodyTite
BodyTite has been FDA-approved since 2016 for fat reducing
procedures on the belly, arms, breast, knees, and thighs. marketing2businessdirectory
Benefits of the treatment: Minimal amounts of fat are
dissolved and carefully eliminated. Droopy skin is tightened and the appearance
of the area gains aesthetic improvement. The radio frequencies both lift and
tighten the skin.
Improvements over conventional liposuction: BodyTite has
less potential threats and less harmful side-effects. Coagulated small blood
vessels decrease bleeding and wounding. No intrusive surgery is required.
Paired with a conventional liposuction surgery, BodyTite can
be used to eliminate more significant excess fat for overweight patients.
Treatments can be as quick as half an hour for smaller
treatment areas.
Treatments are performed with local anesthesia rather than
general anesthesia.
Patients with fatty pockets and sagging skin are not good
candidates for liposuction since the surgery leaves skin sagging and wrinkled.
Before BodyTite, the only alternatives for individuals with loose skin were
extremely intrusive procedures which involved serious potential danger and
often resulted with unfavorable results such as large marks and a long
recovery.
Disadvantages of BodyTite
BodyTite alone will not provide you dramatic body fat
losses, only body contouring. cosmetics48
You'll already need to be close to your ideal weight to be
an ideal candidate, not extremely overweight.
Many RealSelf members who ranked BodyTite as an
"ineffective" treatment, underwent the procedure at the hands of
physicians who were not Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons. If you want to
achieve your ideal results, you need an expert surgeon.
How Quickly Will You See BodyTite Outcomes?
Some outcomes will be obvious immediately after your
treatment, especially if fat was also eliminated by liposuction. Your final
results will take longer to appear. Within 3 months, you’ll see results - once
the majority of the swelling has decreased. For up to a year, there will be
gradually enhanced collagen growth with continuous tightening and an increasing
glow.
Over time, BodyTite causes 25-45% contraction of tissue
along with tightening. So long as you maintain your weight within 5 to 10
pounds, the results of your BodyTite treatment will last for years to come.
Just how much does BodyTite cost?
The typical cost of a BODYtite procedure is $5,000. Your
exact price will depend on the size and number of the areas you want treated.
