BodyTite

BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure of body reshaping that gives results that were previously possible only with surgical procedures.

Excess fat is one of the biggest aesthetic problems of modern individuals.

Unhealthy diet, little exercise and metabolic changes that occur as a result of aging result in the accumulation of unwanted fat deposits in the body.

Of course, the first step is to get moving, introduce physical activity and adjust your diet. Healthy lifestyle habits will definitely contribute to reducing excess weight.

However, we all know that fat deposits are unusually stubborn. They do not leave all parts of the body evenly, and in certain areas such as the hips, abdomen and upper arms they can be quite stubborn. In these areas, additional help is sometimes needed.

For a long time, surgical removal of plaque and excess skin in the form of liposuction was the only solution. Going for surgery causes discomfort to many and they do not easily decide on such a procedure.

It is for these patients that the renowned company InMode , with which the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic has been cooperating for many years, has developed the revolutionary BodyTite treatment, which is the only one that allows the removal of fat deposits and skin tightening at the same time.

For more than two decades, InMode has revolutionized the medical aesthetic industry with cutting-edge technologies.

The powerful bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology is used to shape the body with the BodyTite treatment. Highly sophisticated RF technology enables the melting of fat deposits with a minimally invasive procedure that does not leave scars and shortens the recovery time.

What sets BodyTite apart from other treatments is that it is a clinically and scientifically validated procedure with proven results.

BodyTite is a unique device that reshapes the skin and connective tissue of the body using radiofrequency energy.

The BodyTite treatment can be used to treat all parts of the body from which we want to melt fat deposits and tighten the skin. If you want to shape your upper arms, lift your breasts, tighten your stomach and back, get rid of plaque on your hips – BodyTite is the solution for you.

Key benefits of the BodyTite treatment:

• BodyTite is powered by InMode’s technology – RFAL (RFAL). Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis and provides superior controlled lipolysis of adipose tissue, which results in three-dimensional remodeling of fibrous tissue and simultaneous skin tightening, which is not provided by any other system of technology in the world.
• Absolutely controlled procedure – the results are consistent, avoiding over- or under-treated areas.
• The Directional RF modality creates a temperature profile by providing different heating modes for each layer of tissue, from the deep fat layer to the surface of the skin.
• Minimal recovery – with return to daily activities within 7 days.
• The only technology with scientifically proven results.

The biggest advantage of the BodyTite treatment is to achieve the effect of contracting fat while squeezing the skin and connective tissue, without the classic surgical procedure of excision of the skin. Because of this, recovery is very fast, and the possibilities of side effects are negligible.

Treatment goals:

The ideal candidate for BodyTite is a person with persistent fat deposits on the neck, upper arms, hips, abdomen, buttocks or knees that cannot be removed by exercise and diet control.

People who want to tighten their skin after weight fluctuations, due to aging or pregnancy can also be candidates.

Depending on your wishes, we can treat one or more areas from which you want to remove fat deposits with the BodyTite treatment:

• Belly – BodyTite provides permanent lipolysis of fat deposits like no other liposuction treatment so far. The treatment achieves great results for people with excess fat deposits in the abdominal area or shriveled skin around the navel.
• Tightening of the skin of the upper arms – thanks to the effect of melting fat while tightening the skin and connective tissue, the BodyTite treatment can achieve the same results as with a surgical procedure.
• Shaping the hips, back, buttocks – BodyTite provides unprecedented three-dimensional body shaping through the contraction of the skin, matrix of subdermal connective tissue and subcutaneous fat.
• Breast lift and tightening – BodyTite gives excellent results in lifting and tightening sagging breasts, it is suitable for men who have enlarged breasts due to gynecomastia.

Before deciding on a BodyTite treatment, it is necessary to consult with our plastic surgeon. When talking to the surgeon, you will receive all the necessary information about the treatment and expert advice on the possibilities and expected results of the treatment.

During the consultation with the surgeon, you will discuss your wishes and set treatment goals.

You will also receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for the treatment and how to proceed after the treatment.

In order to ensure the success of the BodyTite treatment and reduce the possibility of side effects, it is necessary to follow the instructions of our professional staff.

Quitting smoking is recommended at least two weeks before and two weeks after treatment. Nicotine consumption can slow down the healing process.

Avoid excessive sun exposure before the BodyTite treatment. If you are taking regular therapy, dietary supplements and the like, communicate this to your plastic surgeon. Certain medications containing ibuprofen and aspirin should be stopped because they affect blood clotting.

Tell your surgeon about any allergies you have. It is recommended to arrange transportation home after treatment.

The BodyTite treatment uses radiofrequency energy to warm the skin on the treated areas.

Radiofrequency waves melt adipose tissue, which is much easier to remove and extract from the body than is the case with classic liposuction.

The BodyTite method is also less traumatic for the body, because RF energy melts fat tissue and coagulates small blood vessels, resulting in significantly fewer bruises on the body than with classic liposuction.

Heat is applied under and above the skin at the same time. This warming effect causes the skin to contract, producing more collagen and elastin. The existing collagen fibers in the skin also contract and tighten.

This dual approach to BodyTite radiofrequency liposuction makes the skin smoother, firmer and more supple while at the same time shaping the body by reducing fat tissue in the treated area.

On the day of the treatment, you will be admitted to the polyclinic and our staff will take you to the treatment room. Before the procedure, your surgeon will instruct you on how to perform the treatment.

BodyTite treatment is safe and is performed under local potentiated or general anesthesia, using a special probe. The probe of the BodyTite device consists of two parts, one is inserted under the skin to the adipose tissue through a small incision that the surgeon will make.

With the second probe, the surgeon will slide on the surface of the skin of the area to be treated, and on which an anesthetic gel has been previously applied, which allows better energy conduction and reduces discomfort during the treatment.

The probes produce heat using radiofrequency, which stimulates collagen formation, dissolves fat cells and promotes skin tightening.

It takes 30-45 minutes to process each individual area. For those who want to treat multiple areas, the procedure can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.

After the BodyTite treatment, the return to normal activities is usually in 5 to 7 days. To ensure the best results, it is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions before and after the procedure.

After the treatment, it is necessary to wear a corset or compression bandage on the treated area for 2 to 3 weeks due to skin tightness.

After the BodyTite treatment, bruising and swelling are common, which gradually subside over the next two weeks. You may also notice transient tenderness in the treated area or small bumps in the skin.

Lymphatic drainage or postoperative massage after BodyTite treatment can contribute to even better results.

Depending on the area of treatment and the amount of fat removed, the results are specific to each patient. Generally, initial results are visible immediately and final within 3-6 months after treatment.

The best results are ensured by practicing healthy lifestyle habits after the BodyTite treatment. Maintaining a balanced diet and moderate physical activity contributes to the longevity of results and prevents the re-accumulation of fat deposits.

BodyTite treatment is considered one of the safest liposuction procedures today. The use of RFAL devices ensures controlled and directional heating of the areas to be treated.

The occurrence of side effects related to the treatment is minimal and usually disappear within a few weeks after treatment. As with any heat-based treatment, there is less risk of skin discoloration or burns.

The safety technology built into the InMode BodyTite helps ensure a very even

heating in safe and efficient temperature ranges.

The BodyTite procedure is very effective in reducing fat, it is safer and gentler compared to other liposuction methods.

Furthermore, many patients are amazed by the effects of skin tightening and the precise body shaping made possible by the revolutionary radiofrequency method.
