Bodytite - liposuction before or after using the skin tightning device?

BodyTite combines skin tightening with liposuction. The fat is actually removed during the procedure and the skin can be tightened by as much as 40%. No large incisions are required nor is general anesthesia. The results are optimized by adding Morpheus8 treatments. We welcome you to visit with us in our Houston office for a consultation to talk about this exciting technology!

Body Tite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that consist of RFAL, which is a technological procedure combination of radiofrequency assisted with lipolysis. Which means that it helps tighten the skin through increasing collagen production, but it also does liposuction by the heat it generates which helps reduce fat. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure because there is no scarring or incisions from this procedure. Some results can be seen immediately but the best results are seen between 3-6 months. Downtime is really minimal, but it all depends on the size of the treated areas but most of our patients resume their normal activities within a week after procedure.

BodyTite is the name for the technology called RFAL, or radiofrequency-assisted liposuction.  The RFAL technology can used with a body probe for the body and a face probe for the neck.  One is called BodyTite and the other is called FaceTite. This is is a minimally invasive technology that allows for moderate skin tightening because it acts underneath the skin.  Unlike other milder technologies that work only on the surface of the skin and are completely non-invasive, this is not non-surgical  because it requires small incisions through which a probe is placed under the skin. The radiofrequency  through this probe is used to heat the connective tissue  throughout the area being treated, thereby shrinking it. This gives the appearance of tighter tissues. This technology can also be used to heat the dermis (deepest layer of the skin) in order to stimulate collagen production and to shrink the tissues. The BodyTite technology also melts fat.  However, it does not melt fat in order to decrease volume the way that liposuction can.  That’s why often times  it is used in addition to liposuction. In fact, the outcome of almost all liposuction procedures  would benefit from the use of BodyTite.  This is because for many people, liposuction results in loose skin due to incomplete skin contraction. BodyTite  can improve this  and is most often done at the same time as the liposuction procedure. 
However, other people may not require  fat reduction by liposuction in a given area and would benefit from tissue tightening.  In those cases, BodyTite would be used alone. 
Any fat that is melted or broken down is either suctioned out or gets absorbed by natural body processes.
