Thigh laxity: BodyTite vs Renuvion vs AccuTite?

Question

Hi, I was kindly recommended Renuvion here for thigh tightening. While I recognise the benefits I am not sure yet if I am willing to undergo such a “big” procedure ( I had a successful Vaser in the past but it’s a bit of a hustle). Itwo consultants and one of them suggested Bodytite instead due to copper IUD. I am surprised more people don’t inquire about that. My weight is good, it’s just the looseness, especially on back of thighs and glutes, I am also wondering about accurate.

BodyTite is a great tool to melt unwanted fat and tighten skin.  Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity.  The procedures is minimally invasive and requires no general anesthesia.  AccuTite is similar  to BodyTite but has a smaller handpiece as it is used to address areas such as around the knees, the jawline, under the eyes, etc. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Hello,

Thank you for your question regarding thigh laxity and the different treatment options available. Each of the treatments you mentioned—BodyTite, Renuvion, and AccuTite—has unique benefits and considerations.

BodyTite: This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten skin and reduce fat. It’s a good option if you are looking for significant skin tightening with minimal downtime. Given your copper IUD, it’s important to discuss this with your physician, but generally, BodyTite should not interfere with the IUD.

Renuvion: Also known as J-Plasma, Renuvion combines helium plasma with radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin. This procedure is highly effective for skin contraction and has been praised for its precision. While it is slightly more involved than some other non-surgical options, it offers excellent results for skin laxity.

AccuTite: This is the smallest minimally invasive radiofrequency device in the BodyTite family, designed for precise tightening in smaller areas. It might be an excellent option if your primary concern is targeted areas such as the back of your thighs and glutes. AccuTite offers controlled and focused treatment, which can be beneficial for specific problem areas.

Given that you have a good weight and are mainly concerned about skin looseness, all these treatments could be effective. However, the choice depends on your comfort level with the invasiveness of the procedure and your desired outcomes. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can evaluate your specific needs and medical history, including the presence of a copper IUD, would be the best course of action.

Best of luck with your decision!
