At Lively Wellness & Aesthetics in Odessa, TX, our BodyTite treatments offer many benefits similar to surgical options but with minimal downtime. Dr. Lively’s commitment to working closely with each patient ensures a thoughtful approach to achieving aesthetic goals. BodyTite is designed to address areas of stubborn fat and sagging skin simultaneously. Dr. Lively’s hands-on approach in every treatment session helps to optimize outcomes while maintaining the highest standards of care and safety.
BodyTite is a minimally invasive technology that uses targeted radiofrequency energy to reshape and contour the body. This technique allows for the reduction of fat and simultaneous skin tightening for a sculpted appearance.
The BodyTite device employs a unique method involving an inner cannula and an external electrode. These components work in tandem to both melt away fat and retract skin. The inner cannula delivers targeted radiofrequency energy to liquefy fat cells that are then aspirated, while the external component aids in skin tightening by stimulating collagen production.
Individuals close to their ideal body weight but struggling with localized fat deposits and skin laxity are good candidates for this body sculpting procedure. Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations about the results and be in good overall health.
Recovery after a BodyTite skin tightening session is swift and straightforward. Patients may experience some mild discomfort and swelling, which usually subsides within a week or two. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days, although they should avoid strenuous exercise for a couple of weeks to facilitate healing.
Results from a BodyTite fat reduction treatment can be seen right away but more so as the swelling reduces. This happens over the course of a few weeks, with continued improvements over the following months. Optimal results are usually observed after three to six months as the body naturally processes the disrupted fat cells and produces more collagen.
The results from a body contouring treatment like BodyTite can last for years, provided patients maintain a stable weight and adhere to a healthy lifestyle. The fat cells removed during the procedure are gone permanently, and the skin tightening effects are long-lasting, although natural aging processes will continue.
During your treatment, you will first receive anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The type of anesthesia used can vary based on the extent of the treatment and your specific needs, but typically local anesthesia is administered. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Lively will carefully mark the areas to be treated to guide the treatment process accurately.
A small incision, just a few millimeters in length, is made to allow for the insertion of the BodyTite handpiece. This incision is tiny enough to minimize any potential scarring. The BodyTite handpiece is then inserted, and it simultaneously deploys radiofrequency energy through its internal cannula and an external electrode.
The treatment itself involves moving the handpiece over the target area to heat the fat and underlying tissues. This process liquifies the fat while also coagulating blood vessels to prevent bleeding during the treatment. The fat is then aspirated and tissues are tightened. Throughout the procedure, the temperature of the tissue is carefully monitored to ensure safety and to optimize the skin tightening effects.
