BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring treatment offered by Dr. Chad Carlton at LoneStar Bariatrics. It helps you achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance by tightening skin and reducing fat, giving you the body shape you desire.
Eliminate Excess Fat & Tighten Skin Without Surgery
BodyTite body contouring is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt fat and tighten skin simultaneously. During the procedure, a small probe is inserted under your skin, delivering radiofrequency energy to target fat cells. The heat generated liquefies the fat, which is then suctioned out. This process also stimulates collagen production, tightening and firming the skin. The result is a more contoured, youthful appearance with minimal downtime and quicker recovery compared to surgical methods.

How Does BodyTite Body Contouring work?
BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to target and break down fat cells beneath your skin. A small probe is inserted through tiny incisions to emit radio waves that heat and liquefy the fat. This melted fat is then suctioned out. Simultaneously, the heat stimulates collagen production, tightening the skin and improving its elasticity. The procedure effectively sculpts your body while also enhancing skin firmness, offering a smoother, more toned appearance.
Am I a Candidate for BodyTite Body Contouring?
You might be a candidate for BodyTite body contouring if you have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise and seek skin tightening. The ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are close to their ideal weight. It’s important to have good skin elasticity and be a non-smoker. If you have underlying health conditions or are looking for significant fat removal, you should discuss your options with Dr. Carlton to determine if BodyTite is right for you.
Can BodyTite Tighten My Skin After Weight Loss?
After dramatic and significant weight loss, either through diet and exercise alone or through bariatric surgery, you might be left with loose or sagging skin. BodyTite can help address this issue by using radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin. The procedure works by heating the underlying layers of skin, stimulating collagen production, and tightening the tissue. This results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. By combining fat reduction with skin tightening, BodyTite can enhance your body contours and improve skin appearance after weight loss.
