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.
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.
The benefits to the patient are many:
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.
Results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable after 3-6 months.
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.
