Dr. Robert Whitfield explains a minimally invasive arm-lift technique using BodyTite. He states BodyTite uses a heat-exchange method with two probes (one under the skin, one above) to tighten skin and melt fat; the procedure is minimally invasive, not scarless, and can be performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Whitfield frames the technique as a preferred, lower-scarring option compared with traditional arm lifts.

BodyTite

Two probes are passed — one beneath the skin and one above the skin.

No — Dr. Whitfield says it is not a scarless procedure; it is minimally invasive.

Arm lifting is a procedure that I traditionally avoided doing. I did not like to place a scar on a woman's arm. Now we have a real advantage. We have a tool that actually tightens skin. It's called body tight. The long and short is you pass two probes, one beneath the skin, one above the skin, and the heat exchange helps tighten the skin and melt fat on the inside. It's not a scarless procedure, but it's the most minimally invasive I can provide for someone, and I can do it under local anesthesia.
