bodySCULPT®’s Plastic Surgeons Showcase InMode’s RFAL Treatment Gap Solution in Aesthetic Surgery Journal

Plastic surgeons Spero J. Theodorou, MD, Daniel Del Vecchio, MD and Christopher T. Chia, MD have published an article in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ) showcasing the popularity and success of BodyTite liposuction, the radiofrequency-assisted body contouring procedure from InMode Aesthetic Solutions. Experts in minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures, Drs. Theodorou and Chia head bodySCULPT®, a well-known plastic surgery practice in Manhattan, NYC.

A unique minimally-invasive, radiofrequency assisted liposuction (RFAL) body contouring and firming device, BodyTite (InMode, California, USA) is FDA-approved. The article is the 22nd North American peer reviewed BodyTite/FaceTite publication and reviews the clinical application of radiofrequency energy using the innovative BodyTite device on soft tissues during suction lipectomy, its effect on soft tissue contraction, and its use in aesthetic contouring in various clinical scenarios. BodyTite involves no lengthy scars or downtime. The publication also highlights InMode’s leadership in minimally invasive body contouring treatments.

This publication is the first to discuss the treatment gap terminology in peer review. The article notes that “there are a large number of these ‘in between’ patients in this ‘gap’ category that their clinical picture presents as ‘not bad enough for an excisional procedure and not good enough for liposuction.’ Specifically, patients who have areas of “nonadherence” such as the arms, neck, and medial thighs may get satisfactory results from Radio-Frequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL). Conventional liposuction cannot address these areas effectively.

InMode is the first to truly define this treatment gap category. According to the ASJ article, as RFAL technology is more effective and directed at fat resection, it can provide satisfactory contouring for nontraditional liposuction candidates “with an increased margin of safety since the skin can be anticipated to retract more than with manual suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) alone.”

RFAL can deliver the best outcome for nontraditional liposuction candidates as well as liposuction candidates. With judicious patient selection and good body contouring, RFAL can produce a 3-dimensional soft tissue contraction for those who are not good candidates for liposuction alone.
