Can I use an at-home high frequency device for healing after BodyTite?

Question

I am scheduled for bodytite assisted lipo in 2 weeks. At my preop appt I was told no radiofrequency after the procedure because it will interfere with results. Does high frequency also interfere ? I have a home device that I use and was wondering if I should avoid use after procedure. I know it helps with blood flow so was thinking it could be helpful with healing. Thank you

Before using any at-home devices or treatments post-BodyTite, it's important to first consult with your dermatologist. They are best equipped to advise you on specific aftercare instructions based on your individual needs, recovery process, and medical history. 
It's possible that using high-frequency devices could interfere with the healing process or even cause damage to the treated skin. It's best to practice caution and get clearance from your doctor before using any at-home devices for healing.

It is generally not recommended to use an at-home high frequency device for healing after BodyTite or any other cosmetic procedure without first consulting with your doctor. While high frequency devices may have some potential benefits for promoting healing and reducing inflammation, they can also cause unwanted side effects if not used properly or in the right setting. Additionally, there may be specific post-treatment instructions that your doctor will provide, which may include avoiding certain types of devices or treatments during the healing process. If you have any questions or concerns about using a high frequency device after BodyTite, be sure to discuss them with your doctor
