BodyTite Before and After

BodyTite™ - Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction

Based in Manhattan, New York City, bodySCULPT™ is a plastic surgery practice that offers the newest option for body contouring and cellulite reduction - BodyTite™, Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL). At our plastic surgery center, we offer a fine line of cosmetic procedures to help patients’ look and feel their best. As specialists in this field, our commitment is to offer you desirable aesthetic outcomes, while assuring safety and accuracy.


Remove Unwanted Fat Deposits without Major Surgery

BodyTite™ powered by Radiofrequency assisted liposuction is a revolutionary body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency energy converted from electrical energy to melt the fat cells, while leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected. The radiofrequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) procedure that we offer at bodySCULPT™ is painless, and can effectively remove unhealthy and unwanted fat from the face, saddle bags, chin, inner thighs, buttocks, love handles, and abdominal areas, hips, knees, and more - with less downtime and least risk. While removing the excess fat deposits, this new technique can firm and shape the body and reduce wrinkles - without scars and painful injections.

Innovative Device to Carry Out the Procedure

Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) is carried out with the innovative Invasix™ BodyTite system which comprises a bipolar radiofrequency hand piece and a RFAL computer device. The surgeon inputs the energy to be delivered to the fat in watts, the limit of skin temperature in degrees, and high and low limits of impedance on a user-friendly touch screen. Excessive heating of fat and/or dermis is avoided since all parameters are controlled in a closed loop system. In this procedure, the access incisions are only about 3 mm which is the diameter of the internal probe which delivers the energy. A power-assisted liposuction device is utilized to aspirate the liquefied fat.

The BodyTite™ procedure using bipolar radiofrequency energy is advantageous in that it can quickly and precisely control the intensity and direction of energy to the fat, blood vessels, and dermis. 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, all of which make it superior to other liposuction procedures.

Improves Patient Safety and Comfort

The BodyTite™ Radiofrequency assisted liposuction procedure is performed at our state-of-the-art outpatient surgical center, under local anesthesia. The procedure itself takes 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the area treated. Unlike traditional liposuction methods, it offers advantages in terms of safety and comfort.

At our center, we have a well trained and experienced team of plastic surgeons and caring staff members to help you meet your cosmetic goals. The plastic surgeons at bodySCULPT™ have been selected to head the IRB study in New York for FDA approval. To find out if you meet the requirements for this study please give us a call at 1-800-282-SCULPT or e-mail us at info@bodysculpt.com.
