Plastic Surgery Update: Bodytite

The next generation in minimally invasive technology is to promote skin tightening, second only to excisional surgery.
As a Plastic Surgeon and dealing with the aging process the number one complaint is laxity of skin whether it is the face, neck, chest, breasts, arms, abdomen, or thighs. We all want the resiliency of youth.
Many plastic surgery procedures involve excising excess skin whether on the face, neck, abdomen or arms. The obvious trade off is that there is a scar. The art is to try and place the scar in the least conspicuous place. Over the years the scars have gotten shorter. Well, with this new modality the scars are eliminated.
BodyTite or RFAL (Radio Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) bridges the gap between non-invasive and excisional results. With RFAL, patients will achieve the results of surgery but without the downtime or surgical scars.
RFAL technology provides subcutaneous fat coagulation, resulting in contraction of the fibrous septa and dermis remodeling.
This procedure is an in-office procedure that can be done under local–anesthesia or with sedation. There is less downtime. The skin contraction is unmatched as it promotes both internal tightening of the fibrous septa and external skin. Published clinical results demonstrate a 36.4% contraction of the skin.
RFAL safely controls both internal and external temperatures to provide a safe and effective treatment. Results are seen within weeks and continue to improve for up to one year. The results should last for years and can be repeated.
BodyTite or RFAL can be used anywhere on the body to provide a natural and even skin tightening.
