Thanks to the minimally invasive nature of BodyTite, you will only need to receive local or twilight anesthesia before your procedure. Twilight anesthesia allows you to stay conscious enough to follow instructions without feeling acute discomfort in the treatment area. Once you are comfortable and we have answered any questions you have, we can get started with your BodyTite in Port St. Lucie.
After making a small incision in your skin, Dr. S. Darrell Lee inserts the BodyTite radiofrequency (RF) probe. The RF energy emitted from this probe creates a thermal reaction in your skin, targeting the water in your fat cells. This boosted lipolysis breaks down unwanted fat cells before the device’s cannula sucks the cells away. As a result, you can see a reduction of overall fat pockets in the treatment area, smoothing your body’s shape.
Once the fat has been eliminated, the heat can begin tightening your skin. When RF energy comes into contact with your tissues, it signals your body to produce collagen in the area and heal the skin. Over time, your skin will firm over the treatment area, reducing sagging and dimpling.
