Overview:
BodyTite liposuction has been in use for many years but in recent years the technology has been further advanced to combine BodyTite with Morpheus 8 technology. It does what the original technology does best and that is skin tightening. The difference is that it is a minimally invasive technique placing the radiofrequency energy just under the skin where it is most effective. It has a temperature sensor above the skin as added safety features to reduce burns to the skin. For those of you who want something that has undergone research and is results based consider this FDA approved treatment.
If you like the sound of the BodyTite system but want further improvement of the technique think about combining it with Morpheus 8 at the same time so that there is further skin tightening from above. This combined therapy is called EmbraceRF and delivers more youthful skin without scars or the downtime of a surgical body lift. The technique may be used in conjunction with Vaser liposuction to tighten the skin.
It coagulates the fat and remodels tissue using radiofrequency technology. It has minimal downtime and mild tenderness. Peer reviewed studies show that it creates directional heat for 3D tissue remodeling.
Morpheus8 is a type of needling radiofrequency with adjustable needle heights for different parts of the body. It may be used used as a stand alone treatment or even better alongside BodyTite. It uses fractional RF technology to melt the fat under the skin. Alongside Bodytite it addresses the upper fat layers to help the BodyTite that affects the fat in the lower levels. Morpheus8 is a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD) meaning that it contours the fat creating a more youthful appearance.
EmbraceRF combines these two modalities to provide a single sitting treatment with minimal downtime and minimal to no signs of scarring after a few weeks.
The standard for body skin laxity is excisional skin surgery, ie cutting the skin off, such as a tummy tuck, arm lift or thigh lift. However, EmbraceRF is perfect for those who are borderline patients (most of whom would be refused) or those who have the right expectation and do not want large scars or the downtime of excisional skin surgery.
FAQ
The area to be treated is identified and marked.
The treatment areas are cleaned with antiseptic. A small volume of diluted anaesthetic is infused under the skin. The anaesthetic is left to work. A thin probe is inserted under the skin and radiofrequency is applied subdermally.For the 2nd part of the treatment (Morpheus8) the skin is microneedled and again radiofrequency energy is administered. The treatment zones are cleaned and a compression garment is placed for 24-48 hours.

Morpheus 8 addresses the lower third of the face, especially the neck and jowls. By combining radiofrequency-assisted FaceTite and Fractora: both of which are FDA approved.
BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to heat excess fat deposits in the face and neck and to tighten the skin. However, in certain cases, some of the fat in the face and neck area may need to be preserved to retain a youthful appearance. Depending on the quality of the skin, the doctor can combine BodyTite with Morpheus 8 externally for adipose remodeling. Based on the depth of the dermis in different parts of the face, the doctor can preserve fat and tighten skin so as to improve definition of the jaw line, jowls and neck. Thus creating a fullness necessary to maintain a youthful appearance.

We will usually place a compression garment for 24 hours to reduce the chances of bruising. We advise 3-5 lymphatic massages to reduce swelling, inflammatory nodules and discomfort. You can wash your skin gently the next morning. The next day we will review you and advise that Arnica cream may help reduce any swelling or bruising that you may have after 1 day. We will see you again after 1 week for a followup and then again at 12 weeks.
