With age or significant weight loss, your skin loses its elasticity, appearing saggy. In the past, correcting loose skin on the abdomen, arms, or thighs required major surgery.
Fortunately, that’s no longer the case. At Best Impressions Med Spa in Blue Bell, PA, Robert Mirabile, MD, and Vivian Hsu, MD, provide InMode® BodyTite™. This FDA-cleared technology delivers great results without large incisions, scarring, or lengthy downtimes.
Our experts use this minimally invasive technology to help patients achieve a taut and toned appearance. They customize a treatment plan just for you.
BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis. The device uses a small internal probe inserted through a tiny puncture wound, along with an external electrode that moves across the top of your skin. As radiofrequency energy passes between them, it generates controlled heat that melts fat cells and immediately contracts the skin fibers. While tightening the skin, your fat also liquefies. This dual action gives you a smoother silhouette that looks completely natural.
We perform the BodyTite procedure in our office under local anesthesia or light sedation to maximize your comfort. Because the entry points are incredibly small, you won't need traditional stitches or have scarring. Our specialists carefully glide the device over the targeted zones, continuously monitoring temperature to ensure safety.
The entire process usually takes between one and two hours, depending on the size of the treatment area. You can go home immediately after the procedure. You will wear a compression garment for a short period to support the tissues as they heal and to reduce temporary swelling.
BodyTite works exceptionally well on almost any area of the body that holds stubborn fat and loose skin. Among the most common areas we treat are:
We can treat multiple zones in a single visit.
Most patients return to light activities within a few days, which is much faster than the weeks required for surgical lifting. You might experience mild bruising or soreness, which resolves quickly.
You will notice some tightening after the swelling goes down, but the real magic happens over the next three to six months. Your body continues to produce fresh collagen, which improves skin firmness over time. Patients experience up to 40% skin contraction after radiofrequency treatments.
