BodyTite
BODY SCULPTING AND SKIN TIGHTENING IN ONE PROCEDURE 

While diet and exercise are at the heart of staying fit, they may not be enough. Stubborn areas can remain around the neck, abdomen, hips, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, arms and knees. Dr. Samuels is pleased to offer a full suite of procedures, including BodyTite, that expertly sculpt and contour the body without excessive downtime. BodyTite is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive procedure that gently emulsifies and removes unwanted fat for effective body contouring and significant skin contraction. That means a slim, trim, smooth you.

What is BodyTite?

BodyTite is a noninvasive body contouring procedure that uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin and reduce fat. For women in Southern Indiana, Lexington and surrounding areas, BodyTite offers an innovative solution for improving their body’s appearance without undergoing traditional surgical methods like liposuction. This treatment targets stubborn fat while simultaneously tightening the skin, making it an excellent option for patients seeking to enhance their contours while avoiding long recovery times.

At our In-Suite Surgical Facility & Med Spa in Prospect, KY, we specialize in BodyTite procedures, combining years of surgical experience with cutting-edge technology to offer results that were previously only achievable through surgery. Our lead surgeon, one of the few female specialists in the area, has published numerous papers and is at the forefront of bringing new technology like BodyTite to the local community. BodyTite is part of our commitment to offer patients the most effective, safe and innovative treatments for skin rejuvenation and body contouring.

What is BodyTite and How Does It Work?

BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt fat and tighten skin simultaneously. During the procedure, a tiny incision is made to insert a cannula, which delivers RF energy to the targeted area. The energy heats the tissue, causing the fat to liquefy and the skin to contract. This dual effect results in a more contoured, tightened appearance without the extensive recovery time associated with traditional liposuction or skin excision.

The BodyTite procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it much less invasive than traditional surgical options. After treatment, patients can expect to see both immediate and long-term results as their skin continues to tighten over the following months. Unlike other fat-reduction techniques, BodyTite stands out for its ability to both remove fat and tighten the skin in one treatment, providing superior outcomes for patients seeking a comprehensive body contouring solution.

Quick & Effective Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction

BodyTite is one of the most advanced new treatments that sculpt the body without surgery. For most men and women, BodyTite can be carried out under local (awake) anesthesia. For larger or multiple areas, Dr. Samuels may recommend in-office IV sedation. A tiny 3mm incision is made and a cannula is placed to deliver targeted radio-frequency energy that liquefies fat which is then gently suctioned away. The radiofrequency energy is delivered precisely where needed without damaging surrounding tissue. At the same time, an electrode slides along the skin’s surface to measure temperature and heat the skin to promote collagen remodeling and skin tightening.

Patients will see substantial body contouring and the added benefit of skin tightening. Results are seen immediately with most noticeable results after six months. Multiple areas can be treated in a single visit in 30-45 minutes. downtime is typically 1-2 days but can take up to 10 days depending on treatment area.

Benefits of BodyTite

BodyTite offers a wide range of benefits for those seeking body contouring and fat reduction:

Minimally Invasive: BodyTite does not require large incisions or general anesthesia, significantly reducing the recovery time and risks associated with traditional liposuction.

Skin Tightening: In addition to reducing unwanted fat cells, BodyTite also stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten loose or sagging skin for a smoother, firmer appearance.

Versatile Treatment Areas: BodyTite can be used on various body parts, including thighs, arms, abdomen and neck. It is particularly effective for areas where skin laxity is a concern, such as the lower abdomen or upper arms.

Quick Recovery: Patients can typically return to regular activities within a few days, with most reporting minimal discomfort after the procedure. Mild swelling and bruising are expected but usually resolve within one to two weeks.

Long-Lasting Results: Once the fat is removed, it’s gone for good. Patients who maintain thier weight after their BodyTite procedure can enjoy long-lasting results that continue to improve as collagen production increases in the months following treatment.

Why BodyTite is the Future of Body Contouring

BodyTite has revolutionized the way patients approach body contouring and fat reduction, offering a noninvasive yet effective alternative to traditional procedures. As more women from Southern Indiana, Lexington and the surrounding areas seek ways to enhance their body’s appearance without the recovery time and risks associated with surgery, BodyTite has become a game-changer. By targeting both fat and skin laxity, BodyTite provides results that are often superior to those achieved with just fat removal techniques like liposuction.

One of the most significant advantages of BodyTite is its ability to tighten skin as it reduces fat. Many traditional fat-removal procedures can leave behind loose, sagging skin, particularly in areas such as the arms, abdomen and thighs. BodyTite’s RFAL technology not only melts fat but also stimulates collagen production, helping to firm and tighten the skin in treated areas. This makes it an excellent option for patients looking to avoid more invasive skin-tightening procedures.

BodyTite vs. Traditional Liposuction

While both BodyTite and traditional liposuction aim to remove excess fat, the two procedures have several key differences. Conventional liposuction is the removal of fat through larger incisions, which can result in longer recovery times, scarring and a higher risk of complications. On the other hand, BodyTite’s use of radiofrequency energy allows for a less invasive approach with smaller incisions and the added benefit of skin tightening.

Another significant difference is the recovery period. With traditional liposuction, patients may need several weeks or even months to fully recover and see their final results. In contrast, BodyTite offers a much faster recovery, with the ability to return to normal activities within a week. The skin-tightening effect of BodyTite also addresses the issue of loose skin, which can be a concern with traditional liposuction, especially in areas like the arms and abdomen.

BodyTite allows for a comfortable and convenient recovery process for Southern Indiana and Lexington patients while delivering impressive results.

Ideal Candidates for BodyTite

BodyTite is suitable for individuals close to their ideal weight but struggling with areas of stubborn fat won’t respond to diet and exercise. It’s also an excellent option for patients concerned about loose or sagging skin and want to avoid a more invasive surgical procedure, such as a tummy tuck or arm lift.

The ideal candidate for BodyTite:

  • Is in good overall health
  • Has realistic expectations about the results
  • Is looking for moderate fat reduction with skin tightening
  • Wants to avoid the long recovery associated with traditional surgery
  • Has specific areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise

Patients who are significantly overweight or have very loose, hanging skin may be better suited for more extensive surgical procedures.

The BodyTite Treatment Process

1. Consultation: Your journey with BodyTite begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our expert surgeon will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate the areas you would like to target. We will also review your medical history and explain the procedure, what to expect and the potential outcome.

2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the targeted areas are marked, and a local anesthetic is administered to ensure your comfort. BodyTite is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you will go home the same day.

3. Procedure: The BodyTite handpiece is inserted through a small incision, and radiofrequency energy is delivered to melt fat and tighten the skin. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure usually takes one to three hours.

4. Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience light swelling, bruising and mild discomfort, but these symptoms usually subside within a week. A compression garment may be recommended to help with healing and improve results. Most patients return to their normal activities within a few days, though avoiding strenuous exercise for at least two weeks is advised.

5. Results: While some results are noticeable immediately, the full effect of BodyTite takes time to develop as the skin tightens and collagen production increases. Most patients see their best results after three to six months, with continued improvement over the following year.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best candidates for BodyTite are men and women with unwanted fat deposits and loose or sagging skin who have tried their best at using diet and exercise to modify their shape. Patients should be medically healthy and realistic about the figure they can achieve.

If you can imagine it, you can do it: stomach, arms, chest, knees and inner/outer thighs are some of the most common treatment zones. Multiple areas can be treated in one visit. Each zone takes approximately 15 minutes of treatment.

Depending on the treatment area, downtime can be from 1-2 days up to 10 days.

BodyTite gently treats fat in stubborn areas while tightening the skin, helping you sculpt your body into its ultimate shape.

While BodyTite offers significant advantages, it’s important to have realistic expectations of results. BodyTite is not designed for significant weight loss, but rather for patients who are close to their ideal weight and are looking to refine their body contours. The procedure works best for fat that’s resistant to diet and exercise, and anyone undergoing the treatment should also be prepared to maintain a healthy lifestyle to enjoy long-lasting results.

One of the long-term benefits of BodyTite is its ability to continually improve the skin’s appearance over time. The radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production, which can take several months to fully develop. Many patients report seeing continued improvements in skin tightness and tone for up to a year after their procedure. Additionally, since the fat cells are destroyed, permanent fat reduction is possible in the treated areas as long as you maintain a stable weight.

Every BodyTite procedure is highly customizable, depending on the patient’s specific goals and body type. During your consultation, our experienced surgeon will create a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your desired outcomes, the areas to be treated and your skin type. For example, some patients may benefit from combining BodyTite with other treatments, such as liposuction or skin tightening procedures, to achieve their ultimate goals.

One of BodyTite’s unique advantages is its versatility. It can be used on smaller, delicate areas like the arms and neck, as well as larger areas like the abdomen and thighs. This flexibility allows patients to target multiple problem areas in a single treatment session, providing a more comprehensive body-contouring solution.
