Sleek curves and sexy lines used to be difficult to obtain. Genetic luck combined with hard work or surgical liposuction were two of the only ways to really achieve that ideal body shape. We’re excited to offer our Chicago patients something new. BodyTite from InMode offers a less invasive, still effective body contouring experience.

What Is BodyTite?
BodyTite is a less invasive body contouring procedure that uses RFAL, short for radio-frequency assisted liposuction, to remove and coagulate fat. It also remodels the tissues, for a smoother and tighter appearance. Traditional liposuction does an excellent job of removing fat but leaves behind significant loose skin, especially in patients with poor skin elasticity. Surgery, like a tummy tuck, creates stunning results but requires an extended period of downtime. BodyTite combines liposuction with radio-frequency to remove fat and tighten skin.
The highlight of the BodyTite system is the special device used to deliver the RF energy. A long, thin cannula is paired with a powerful directional RF spot. The cannula is inserted into the treated tissue and becomes a target for the RF energy that is administered outside of the skin. The device uses directional RF to create the ideal temperature gradient for treatment. Different tissue layers have different heat needs, and this device ensures optimal results while minimizing damage to skin and other tissues.

BodyTite vs. FaceTite- How Do These InMode Treatments Compare?
BodyTite and FaceTite are both body shaping treatments from InMode. They share a common goal, shaping, tightening, and contouring an area, but do have a few treatment differences.
- BodyTite removes fat through the inserted cannula. FaceTite does not remove fat but remodels it through coagulation.
- Treatment areas for these procedures vary. FaceTite is used on the face, jawline, and lower chin. It works best on small treatment areas. BodyTite offers shaping to the entire body.
- Both procedures offer long-lasting results that rival the results achieved with more invasive, surgical procedures.
