BODYTITE®
Short Summary
BodyTite® is a new and minimally invasive body contouring device. It provides excellent shaping of lax skin and removal of persistent fat. Such pronounced results were previously only possible with surgical procedures, however BodyTite®’s action of coagulating fat and heating the full thickness of the skin delivers long-lasting results.Key Information
Additional Information
- Shaping of arms, thighs and abdomen
- Tightening of skin
- Reduction of fat
During the treatment, a surgeon inserts a cannula through a small incision in the target area, radiofrequency (RF) energy is then passed from an external probe to the cannula. BodyTite® provides the strongest minimally invasive tightening and lifting effect, as RF passes all the way through the skin, increasing collagen and elastin production throughout. The treatment has the added effect of melting fat underneath the skin.
BodyTite® is one of the most effective devices on the market for body tightening, shaping and removal of stubborn fat. Used in conjunction with liposuction, it can remove larger deposits of fat. Further skin tightening and toning is achieved with Morpheus8, and improved skin quality is generated using Profhilo® skin booster and medical grade skin care. Clear and Brilliant® laser treatment provides visibly illuminated skin and a clinically proven enhanced skin permeability for the absorption of topical skin care. BodyTite can be combined with many other laser and IPL treatments to address a wide range of concerns.

The procedure requires injection of local anaesthetic and infiltration of fluid to the desired area. This enables the easy passage of the cannula under the skin, and radiofrequency energy is then transmitted through the full thickness of the skin to tighten and contour.
