Meggen Harris’ Striking Body Upgrade with InMode’s BodyTite

BodyTite liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to remove stubborn fat and tighten the skin, resulting in effective skin tightening and body contouring. During this procedure, subcutaneous fat is efficiently liquefied and removed while blood vessels are coagulated, facilitating skin tightening. Importantly, the surrounding tissues remain unharmed throughout the process. A recent Forbes article by Meggen Harris highlights her own experience with InMode’s BodyTite treatment, and includes comments from Dr. Spero Theodorou, M.D., InMode’s Chief Medical Officer.

Forbes contributor Meggen Harris wanted to consider aesthetic body contouring procedures which she terms “a non-mommy, mid-life makeover.” Her concern was mainly about a few spots on her body that time and gravity had left their stamp on, and which she wanted to improve upon.

She first decided to try out InMode’s Morpheus8, a cutting-edge radiofrequency microneedling treatment that had gained immense popularity following Kim Kardashian endorsing its skin tightening benefits on her social feeds. She had her appointment with Dr. Paul D. Durand, MD of Careaga Plastic Surgery. After 6 weeks, during her follow-up with Dr. Durand, he recommended InMode’s BodyTite to get the skin tightening benefits she wanted.

To learn more of the treatment, Meggen consulted Dr. Spero Theodorou M.D, InMode’s Chief Medical Officer for a professional opinion.

Dr. Spero Theodorou Explains InMode’s BodyTite

Dr. Spero Theodorou, also the founder and Surgical Director of bodySCULPT®, explained to her that BodyTite “… is a minimally invasive, single treatment that utilized directional radiofrequency to provide subdermal tissue coagulation and bulk tissue heating. BodyTite is perfect for patients who have lax skin, where liposuction would leave a worse aesthetic outcome; patients who are looking for skin contraction; and those who do not want a large scar from more extensive procedures (brachioplasty or tummy tucks). Patients should also have a consultation prior to treatment with their physician to ensure they are the right candidate for the procedure. One treatment is needed, and results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable after 6 months, and continuing up until 12 months.”

Dr. Theodorou also told her how InMode is strategically positioned as the leading global provider of “Treatment Gap” procedures by the company’s proprietary BodyTite family of Radiofrequency Assisted Lipo-coagulation (RFAL) and Morpheus8 family of Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Devices (SARD). InMode’s unique product portfolio has created new categories that deliver minimally invasive facial and body contouring and contraction procedures that offer reliable and efficacious applications for physicians, with safety and comfort in mind for their patients. BodyTite is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure, where a cannula is inserted under the skin to melt fat inside while tightening the skin on top. Benefits for this procedure include non-excisional, superior body contouring, significant body tightening results (up to 40% skin contraction observed in clinical studies), uniform treatment, consistent results, less bruising, swelling and pain, shorter downtime, and improved safety.

Meggen’s Experience

Meggen was impressed by the procedure’s ability to tackle multiple concerns in a single treatment, addressing both her skin laxity and stubborn fat. She says, “The procedure itself was essentially pain free. I didn’t go under anesthesia, rather I was given a Xanax to help relax me prior. So, I was awake the entire time (and of course, asking questions) I was being treated, which was around a half hour or so. I was groggy the night of the treatment, which was to be expected and the next day I was able to move around at almost my normal levels. After two weeks, I was back to my intense workouts and normal routine.”

When writing this article three and half months after her procedure, Meggen says that she is thrilled with her results so far. She knows that they will continue to improve over the next several months when the collagen and elastin in her skin starts rebuilding. Importantly, she says she feels much more confident in the skin she is in as a result of having BodyTite.
