What is the difference between BodyTite vs Liposuction with J Plasma?

Body-Tite uses radiofrequency for skin tightening whereas J Plasma uses Helium plasma focused RF energy. However, for best results, a combination approach is needed. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question! Some doctors are more comfortable with one or another, so definitely assess the results between both.  I'm very comfortable with both and often use them in conjunction with one another to achieve different goals. I find more directional shaping is possible with the BodyTite whereas the JPlasma gives more overall contraction. Best of luck!

Both technologies are similar in nature. Simply, these are tools for the doctor to achieve an end result. Some doctors prefer one over the other because in their hands the results are better than with the other device. Ultimately one is not necessarily better than another. The important question is how good are the results with either device in the hands of the doctor that is doing your procedure. In my practice, I use the Bodytite PRO. It has particular temperature control systems that make my results more reproducible in my hands.Regards,

Thank you for your question. I use both BodyTite and Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) in my practice. Both devices are excellent for tissue and skin tightening. Selection of which device to use is based on examination of the patient. Both devices are combined with liposuction in most cases. BodyTite will destroy additional fat beyond that which I can achieve by liposuction alone whereas I don't find this to be the case with Renuvion. Renuvion is often better on larger areas because the energy is more dispersed. Best to seek out a consultation with a body sculpting expert.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Thank you for your question. BodyTite is a minimally-invasive body contouring procedure that utilizes radio-frequency assisted lipolysis. It combines two successful technologies into a double-duty procedure that reduces fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. BodyTite reduces fat without leaving behind wrinkly or saggy skin thru the use of radio-frequency. Liposuction with J-Plasma is also a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device to deliver “helium plasma” energy through tiny incisions to the undersurface of the skin. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist. 

Great Question:
These are very similar ideas, and I am sure in proper hands can get similar results.  Most doctors would have either one or the other device available for skin tightening in the office, so depends who you consults with will be partial to that device.
I chose to have BodyTite in my practice based on results and reviews, but other doctors may choose another one-like J-plasma. So you really need to see individual results.   The reason I picked BodyTite, is because I can control temperature at every moment, and the risks for burn is minimal, while heating of the tissues is maximized, therefore getting me best results.
