What To Expect From The Procedure

BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed while you are either awake or asleep. If you have excess fat, we recommend pairing BodyTite with liposuction for the best results. If you choose to have BodyTite on its own, we will typically use a topical numbing agent.

Once you arrive, our team will help prepare you for the procedure. Dr. Matarasso will start by creating tiny access points near the treatment area. These are much smaller than normal surgical incisions, and once they heal, they do not leave any scarring. Dr. Matarasso will carefully insert a thin metal probe into these access points, also known as a cannula. This cannula emits radiofrequency (RF) energy, which breaks down unwanted fat deposits and stimulates the production of skintightening collagen, without damage to healthy tissues.

BodyTite can provide remarkable aesthetic results by melting away fat while simultaneously tightening the skin. When paired with liposuction, it provides elevated results that are beautiful and natural-looking.

The duration of a BodyTite treatment can vary depending on the area you are treating. For a single area, you can anticipate a procedure time of roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

Recovery After Your Procedure

Following BodyTite, you can anticipate some mild discomfort. Usually, this pain is easily managed with over-the-counter remedies, such as ibuprofen, and will subside on its own after just a couple of days. You will also be encouraged to rest from strenuous exercise, giving yourself at least five to 10 days to recover. While some preliminary results may be evident pretty quickly, the results will continue to improve over the course of a year, thanks to the production of new collagen. This means that your results should get better and better over time!
