Robert Whitfield MD explains BodyTight, an FDA-approved device that uses two probes to heat the skin and achieve about 30% contraction. It works best combined with liposuction on areas like love handles, thighs, arms, and neck.
Bodytight is technology. It's FDA approved for the tightening of skin. I think this, to me, is the most exciting thing I've had come along in the last decade of plastic surgery. This is a fundamentally simple methodology. Two probes passing back and forth, one under the skin, one on top of the skin, passing heat between the two tips. Whereas before we just had a probe that went in, delivered thermal energy may or may not have worked. I feel comfortable in this product. It's gonna work. It's gonna give you like a 30 contraction of skin. Imagine that, 30%. There's never been a product that does 30% contraction of skin. Love handle areas, inner outer thighs, arms, necks. So traditionally, liposuction will lead to contraction, but that's all dictated by the quality of your skin, your age, your genetics, weight loss, weight gains, previous surgeries, scars. So I think that pretty much each area you perform liposuction on, you should add this as part of the procedure. It opens the door for people who are transitioning from non invasive treatments, don't want surgery or don't need surgery.
