Can you get BodyTite multiple times in the same area and still get improvement equal to the first treatment? (photos)

Question

The skin on my stomach isn’t that loose, so I think bodytite might be a good option. If after the first time, my skin still has room for improvement, I am wondering if a second (or even third) bodytite treatment would yield similar results as the first treatment? Also, how many months do you have to wait between treatments?

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.  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.

Thank you for your question and photos. Body Tite is a fairly new system that uses radio-frequency to shrink wrap the tissues. Because the system works by stimulating collagen regrowth, it can take up to a year to see your final results. So, yes, you can have more than one treatment. It would be ideal to wait a year between your treatments so that you will be able to fully assess your results. In general, the Body Tite procedure will achieve about a 30% improvement in tightening the tissues. This would be true for each treatment you have but everyone is different and results depend on a variety of factors. A second treatment may result in more or less tightening than the first treatment. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to help our patients visualize what their final result may look like. I hope that helped. Good luck!

Thank you for your photos. BodyTite in 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. Typically, most of my patients see results after the first time. You can however do multiple treatments if you want. For more information, please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

Thank you for your question and posting your picture. BodyTite is a very effective tool for tightening the tissue and skin. It is generally performed at the time of a liposuction procedure and over time skin tightening has been noted to be around 30%. It would be unusual to need a second BodyTite procedure and I would recommend giving it at least 6 months following a procedure as the body continues to remodel itself during this time.
I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

BodyTite can be a very effective option for assisting with skin tightening during liposuction. The results of the BodyTite portion may take a number of weeks or even months to achieve the full effect, but still will be better than Smartlipo or traditional lipo alone. So far we have not had the need to repeat BodyTite on an area due to achieving good results from the first treatment. Based on your photo, I would not imagine you would need a second treatment, however if it were needed, I would recommend waiting at least 6 months.
