I think they are equally effective. One advantage of BodyTite is that liposuction and/or pre-tunneling is not necessary as it is with Renuvion. However, BodyTite is much more likely to cause burns than Renuvion. I have never seen a skin burn with Renuvion. I have seen multiple patients that have been burned by BodyTite. But I use both in my practice very effectively.
BodyTite and Renuvion (also known as J-Plasma) are both advanced technologies used for skin tightening and contouring, particularly in areas like the buttocks and thighs. Here’s a comparison of these two treatments:BodyTite:Technology: BodyTite uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep layers of the skin and underlying fat. This heat energy promotes collagen production and causes tissue contraction, leading to skin tightening.Treatment Areas: BodyTite is suitable for various body areas, including the buttocks and thighs, where it can reduce fat deposits and improve skin laxity.Procedure: It is typically performed under local anesthesia. A small cannula is inserted under the skin, delivering RF energy to heat and liquefy fat cells while simultaneously tightening the skin.Results: BodyTite provides gradual improvements in contour and skin tightening over several months as collagen continues to rebuild.Renuvion (J-Plasma):Technology: Renuvion combines helium plasma with radiofrequency (RF) energy. The helium plasma is created by energizing helium gas, which is then combined with RF energy to deliver controlled heat to the tissues. This dual-energy approach provides more precise and uniform heating.Treatment Areas: Renuvion is also used for skin tightening and contouring in various body areas, including the buttocks and thighs.Procedure: Like BodyTite, Renuvion is typically performed under local anesthesia. The device delivers the helium plasma and RF energy through a small wand inserted under the skin, causing immediate tissue contraction and stimulating collagen production.Results: Renuvion provides immediate skin tightening effects due to the direct and precise delivery of energy. Further improvements are seen over time as collagen remodeling continues.Comparison:Effectiveness: Both BodyTite and Renuvion are effective for skin tightening and contouring. Renuvion may offer more immediate results due to its precise delivery of energy, whereas BodyTite provides gradual improvements over time.Downtime: Recovery times for both procedures are generally similar, with mild swelling and discomfort expected initially. Full results for both treatments may take several weeks to months to fully manifest.Safety: Both BodyTite and Renuvion are considered safe when performed by qualified and experienced providers. Risks and complications are typically minimal, but specific considerations should be discussed during your consultation.Consultation with a Specialist:Ultimately, the choice between BodyTite and Renuvion depends on your specific concerns, goals, and the recommendations of your plastic surgeon or cosmetic provider. They can evaluate your anatomy, discuss expected outcomes, and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs for tightening the buttocks and thighs.
Hello, thank you for your question. BodyTite does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues. It can be combined with liposuction to improve contours dramatically. BodyTite only works well for people who are near their target weight and who have skin elastic enough to bounce back from the procedure. Results can be seen immediately after one treatment and are more evident over three to six months post-treatment. Wait until six months to fully evaluate the aesthetic results. If you maintain your target weight within 5 to 10 pounds of your goal weight, the results should last for years. Consult via email or Skype with a board certified PS who can help you reach your goals.
Hello, and thank you for your question. , such as the buttocks and thighs. Themain differences lies within the way both utilize the radio frequency technology which dissolvesfat. Renuvion has the advantage of utilizing helium which cools the targeted area, potentiallypreventing damage to surrounding areas.BodyTite is unique as it comes with a wide variety of hand pieces that can be combined fornumerous different treatments, allowing for a completely customized, natural body contouringexperience. Since BodyTite does not use helium, it may take a little longer to do treatment,however, this is not an issue in most cases as it is a noninvasive procedure in the first place.
sagging can be from looseness or volume loss. you need to post photos to see if you need moe than just skin tightening or not. I find renuvion does better for larger areas when combined with fat grafting and.or implants. Best, Dr. Emer.As we age the skin sags there is nothing you can do that but try preventative energy-based or thread-based treatments or get a neck/facelift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous options and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes but you need a consultation with an expert.Options include for skin tightening :thermage radiofrequency to heat skin and tighten it over time and prevent the aging processultherapy highintensity ultrasound to contract muscle and tighten the face and neck and prevent the aging processPDO nova threads or instalift threads for immediate lifting without surgery and long term collagen productionsculptra injections for collagen production to areas of the face and neck with crepe skin or early saggingbtl exilis ultra, venus legacy, thermi250 , or inmode forma/contoura for constant collagen stimulation monthly with facialsfacelift/necklift with fat grafting/fillers if you need a big improvementThermiRF or J plasma /Renuvion or Inmode FaceTite internal heating and tightening to long term internal heating and tighting with or without surgeryPlatysmaplasty to tighten the muscles of the neck long term and create contourFacial implants or fillers to contour the jawline and chin to improve the apperance of the nec kFractora/Morphenus8 or Intensif microneedling RF for improve superficial tightening, neck and chest wrinkling and crepe skin You need to see an expert in facial sculpting and age prevention.

There are different forms of looseness. There's looseness that's associated with loss of collagen in the skin itself but yet the volume of the body is still the same or there is looseness associated with the loss of volume. When it's just the skin that has lost some elasticity and there is no loss in volume then bodytite can show improvement. On the other hand if there is a significant volume loss that results in sagginess, only renuvion can help as it tightens all the internal tissues bringing the skin closer and tighter to the underlying muscle. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
Hello, and thank you for your question! I cannot speak on Renuvion, as I rarely use it in my office, however, my patients have great results from BodyTite.BodyTite will tighten and tone wrinkly areas that don't go away with diet and exercise alone. Using fat coagulation and volumetric heating technology, BodyTite works in multiple ways to treat the affected areas. It is a minimally invasive device that many patients are very satisfied with. Recovery is usually 1-2 days but can be up to 10 days depending on the person. Patience is a must though, as it takes about 6 months to one year to see results. Prices range from $3,000 to $5,000 depending on how many areas you want done.Please see my attached link which has more information on BodyTite, including a video at the bottom of the page. Please be sure to see a board-certified plastic surgeon you feel comfortable with. Best of luck!James L.
