Bodytite

BodyTite is a Liposuction procedure (developed 2009) that uses RFAL Technology. RFAL or Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction involves heating the skin by the RF current which flows from the internal to the external electrode placed on the skin above the internal electrode. BodyTite is the latest development in cosmetic surgery and combines simultaneous skin tightening with RFAL assisted liposuction. BodyTite has many advantages over traditional methods of liposuction such as SmartLipo or Vaser Lipo in terms of being a less invasive procedure that is carried out under local anaesthetic, along with increased patient safety during the procedure due to more accurate monitoring of temperatures by the surgeon; results are experienced by the patient almost immediately and the combined skin tightenening means that the procedure can be carried out in one session, whereas traditional liposuction techniques may have then needed to be followed up by a Abdominoplasty or "Tummy Tuck" procedure to remove the excess skin.

How BodyTite Works
RF energy travels from an internal electrode, which is simultaneously aspirating the coagulated tissue, to an external electrode, resulting in coagulation of adipose, vascular and fibrous tissue as well as heating the entire soft-tissue matrix. The coagulated and liquefied tissue is aspirated while heating of the soft tissue matrix and subdermal tissue results in significant body tightening and recontouring. BodyTite provides gentle, outpatient treatment with improved safety and efficacy compared to other liposuction methods.
Areas of the Body that can be treated with BodyTite
Basically any area that would be treated with Traditional Liposuction can be treated with BodyTIte, such as:
• Abdomen (upper and lower)

The Benefits of BodyTite
The BodyTite procedure is painless, and can effectively remove unhealthy and unwanted fat with less downtime and least risk and can be performed under local anesthetic.
While removing the excess fat deposits, BodyTitr can firm and shape the body and reduce wrinkles - without scars and painful injections.
The BodyTite procedure using bipolar radiofrequency energy is a safer procedure than traditional forms of liposuction in that it can quickly and precisely control the intensity and direction of energy to the fat, blood vessels, and dermis.
Using BodyTite RFAL has benefits such as speedy treatment, considerably less tissue trauma, coagulation of blood vessels, controlled administering of energy, careful monitoring of skin temperature, and even heating of the skin and the subcutaneous layer.
The benefits of the BodyTite technique mean that the maximum skin contraction that is achieved through conventional liposuction techniques can be increased by up to 60%.
BodyTite in the Media
BodyTite has been featured in magazines such as Vogue and Grazia during 2009 and in newspapers such as: The News of the World, The Daily Express and the Daily Mail during 2010.
