BodyTite
Minimally invasive body contouring
​
What is BodyTite?​
BodyTite is a breakthrough cosmetic procedure that offers a less invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. This advanced treatment uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt stubborn fat and simultaneously tighten the skin. A small tube, or cannula, is inserted beneath the skin to deliver focused radiofrequency energy. This energy liquefies fat for easier removal and stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin.
​
Unlike conventional liposuction, which primarily removes fat, BodyTite precisely targets both fat and soft tissue. It not only contours your body but also firms and lifts the skin in a single session. The result is a more toned, sculpted look with less trauma and quicker healing.
​
This minimally invasive procedure requires only a small incision and is often performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and downtime. A compression garment is typically recommended for four weeks after the treatment to support healing and reduce swelling.
How Does it Work?
-
Controls heating to ensure that treatment results are consistent, avoiding over-treated or under-treated areas.
​
-
Directional RF builds a temperature profile providing different treatment modalities for each tissue layer, from the deep fat layer up to the skin’s surface.
​
-
Real time temperature monitoring in deep fat areas and on the skin surface.
​
-
Directional radiofrequency (RF) Provides contraction of the dermis, subdermal connective tissue, and adipose tissue coagulation.
CONTRACTION
​
BodyTite provides unprecedented three-dimensional contraction of the dermis, subdermal connective tissue matrix and subcutaneous fat.
​
CONTOURING
​
BodyTite provides superior body contouring and delivers results only previously achieved through more extensive surgical procedures.
Benefits of BodyTite
​Targeted Fat Reduction: Say goodbye to unwanted bulges and pockets of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise. BodyTite's precise energy delivery targets fat cells, liquefying them for easy removal while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
​
Skin Tightening: In addition to reducing fat, BodyTite stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, tighter skin. This helps to minimise sagging and improve overall skin texture, leaving you with a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
​
Minimally Invasive Procedure: Unlike traditional liposuction surgery, BodyTite requires only small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days, making it an ideal option for those with busy lifestyles.
Customised Treatment Plans: We offer personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific goals and anatomy. Whether you're targeting your abdomen, thighs, arms, or other areas, we'll design a plan that helps you achieve your desired results.
Long-lasting Results: With proper diet and exercise, the results of BodyTite treatment can be long-lasting. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy your slimmer, more sculpted silhouette for years to come.
Popular Treatment Areas
Arms
BodyTite is an excellent solution for tightening the upper arms. It targets the sagging skin that often develops with age or weight loss. Known as “bat wings,” this area can be hard to tone with exercise alone. BodyTite melts excess fat and tightens loose skin, restoring a firmer, more youthful arm contour.
Abdomen
The stomach is a common area for stubborn fat and lax skin. After pregnancy or significant weight changes, many people struggle with a loose or bulging midsection. BodyTite can sculpt the abdomen by reducing fat and contracting the skin, offering results similar to a mini tummy tuck without major surgery.
Thighs
Inner and outer thighs are challenging to reshape with diet and exercise. BodyTite slims these areas by removing fat and tightening the surrounding skin. This treatment helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and gives your legs a smoother, more contoured silhouette.
Knees and Hips
Fat around the knees and hips can create uneven body lines. BodyTite treats these smaller, stubborn pockets of fat effectively. By contouring and tightening in one procedure, it delivers natural-looking improvement and enhances your overall shape.
Bra Line and Back
Bulges around the bra line or lower back are tough to eliminate. BodyTite addresses these problem spots by dissolving fat and firming the skin. It creates a smoother back profile and enhances the fit of clothing, especially form-fitting tops and dresses.
BodyTite offers transformative results with less pain, minimal downtime, and long-term benefits. If you want sculpted contours and tighter skin without surgery, BodyTite could be your perfect solution.
-
How long will the liposuction procedure take?The lipo procedure is carried out in our clinic in Donnybrook under local anaesthetic and will take approximately half a day (a few hours) from check-in to walking out.
-
What preparation do I need to do?No preparation is needed. We simply advise trying to get a good night’s sleep the night before. No fasting is required but we do recommend a light breakfast on the morning of your procedure.
-
Should I bring anything with me?Nothing is required but some patients like to bring a spare change of clothes including fresh underwear and loose clothing to wear over your compression garments post treatment.
-
What is the aftercare?You will be required to wear a compression garment for one month, which we will provide for you. You will also be prescribed an antibiotic for the initial five days post treatment. You can walk immediately after your procedure but avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting for the initial two weeks.
-
Can I drive after my treatment?No. On the day of your procedure, you will be unable to drive that day and will need to organise a lift home.
-
When will I return for a follow-up visit?This will consist of three visits, the first of which will be the day after your procedure for a check-up. A second appointment is organized for two weeks post procedure to monitor healing and assess the swelling. A third and final appointment is then scheduled for three months after your Tickle Lipo procedure to review results and will include any adjustments which may be needed.
-
What does the pain management entail?It is very simple, painkillers can be prescribed as needed but pain management would normally be approximately 3-5 days for most patients. The treatment area may feel bruised, swollen and tender for the first few days, but recovery can vary from patient to patient, depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Some patients describe the recovery as more of a discomfort and do not require any prescription pain medication post treatment.
-
When can I shower or bathe?You can shower the day after your procedure but as it takes 5-7 days for your incision to close, you must avoid bathing/ swimming for the first week.
-
How long until I can notice results?Results can be noticeable immediately after the procedure, but we would say that you will be ‘beach ready’ within a month. Best results can be observed 3-6 months post-procedure as the swelling continues to subside, but this is dependent on each patient and how they respond to the treatment.
-
Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process?Yes, we offer Lymphastim lymphatic drainage which can be performed approximately five days after your Tickle Lipo procedure, and this will help to reduce swelling and encourage healing.
-
How is Tickle Lipo different from other types of liposuction?It is far less invasive. Tickle Lipo is performed under local anaesthetic while you are awake and requires no fasting and no overnight stay on the day of your procedure. There is a quicker recovery time which means less down-time and a more rapid return to every-day life and work.
-
Will I be left with excess skin after the procedure?Not necessarily but this will be assessed with Dr. Sami in your initial consultation. There are various treatments which can be performed to avoid this, all of which will be discussed with you. Factors including age, genetics and overall skin health can contribute towards loose skin but maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after the procedure can minimize the likelihood of this happening. The compression garment is a key part of the aftercare which also minimizes loose skin.
-
Can I have liposuction after a C-section?Yes, but we would advise waiting a minimum of six months to a year after a C-section before considering liposuction to allow the area to fully heal. Liposuction on the abdomen also will not affect any future pregnancies or C-sections.
