A problem with many body shaping treatments is not what they eliminate, but what they leave behind. When an aesthetic procedure resolves unwanted bulges by reducing stubborn fat, the skin may be too lax to drape tightly over the treatment site. This phenomenon results in wrinkles and sagging. 

The advanced body sculpting technology BodyTite is a minimally invasive treatment that shapes, lifts, and tightens without a scalpel or the risk of scarring. It often incorporates liposuction to deliver surgical-like results, but without the extensive downtime that surgery requires. 

Effectiveness

A significant benefit of BodyTite is how it delivers its results. You will realize immediate improvements after your session, with continued correction during the months ahead.  Other benefits include the following.

Minimally Invasive

Although we all seek the perfect body contour, many people don’t want to undergo surgery to rid themselves of stubborn fat pads. BodyTite is ideal for those who are busy with a career or managing a household. It allows the average working person to enhance their figure without enduring several days or weeks of healing and downtime. 

Versatility

Another benefit of BodyTite is its versatility. You can have it applied in various areas, including:

  • Neck
  • Upper arms
  • Bra roll
  • Legs
  • Buttocks
  • Hips
  • Abdomen

In addition to resolving unwanted fat pads, BodyTite tightens skin by triggering collagen and elastin production naturally. 

Outpatient Procedure

A convenience of BodyTite is you won’t have to spend the night in the hospital. As an outpatient procedure, it allows you to go home after the treatment. On average, BodyTite treatments take about two or three hours. Because you will be under anesthesia for the procedure, you will need to have a responsible adult with you to drive you home. 

Safe and Pain-Free

By employing radiofrequency energy, BodyTite is exceptionally safe and tolerable. Its FDA approval tells you it has no known adverse effects. The procedure offers little to no discomfort, which helps you rest after the procedure and keeps your body at ease. 

The Bottom Line

Since stubborn fat can be hard to get rid of by eating right and working out, BodyTite has become a popular body sculpting option. We invite you to consult with Dr. Dreyfuss to discuss this advanced technology proven reliable to many of our patients.

Are you looking to eliminate fat pads while building muscle? Are your body shaping goals close to complete but need a little push to get you to the end? Dr. David Dreyfuss is pleased to announce a new treatment to help women and men lose fat while toning muscle. EmSculpt Neo is an effective fat burning treatment that gives your figure a positive transformation in a matter of a few weeks. 

A Non-Invasive Solution with Broad Appeal

Everybody wants to look lean and fit. Women devote hours to achieve a body to dream for but can’t finish without some cosmetic help, and surgery can be costly and involve weeks of downtime. And for those with a higher BMI, eliminating excess fat has tremendous health benefits. The highly tested EmSculpt Neo has proven to be effective at eliminating stubborn fat while increasing muscle. It is a gold standard procedure, for less money and less time than surgery. And it helps patients with a BMI of up to 35.

Two Remedies in One

EmSculpt Neo combines high-intensity electromagnetic energies and radiofrequency into one treatment. For patients with a high BMI, it may prove to be a health benefit and shape the body. The technology employs an applicator that emits synchronized radiofrequency and HIFEM energies simultaneously. Radiofrequency delivers heat and raises the target muscle’s temperature several degrees in a short period. This serves much like a warmup session used initially during a workout. Simultaneously, in less than four minutes, Emsculpt Neo raises the subcutaneous fat temperatures to a level that the fat cells die through apoptosis. EmSculpt is shown to average a 30% reduction in excess fat when all is said and done. 

Is It Right for You?

Emsculpt Neo is an optimal, non-surgical option for men and women who need help eliminating fat and building muscle. The treatments require no anesthesia or incisions and no recovery or downtime. These benefits make for a broad appeal for patients looking for a solution to reduce BMI and improve overall health. It is also an excellent treatment for those who need finishing touches on their figure in places where diet and exercise ignore. 

There are a few contraindications, including patients with metal or electronic implants like a pacemaker or metal IUD. Pregnant women will have to wait until after they deliver.

We all want a healthy, fit body to wear the clothes we want. That’s why we spend so much time and enthusiasm with dietary choices and exercising. Although you remain dedicated to a healthy lifestyle, you may struggle with seemingly endless pitfalls and setbacks trying to reach your weight-loss and body sculpting goals.

Even if you’ve reached your goal weight, you may not be completely satisfied at the end of this journey. You want your body to reflect the hard work and sacrifice you put in. BodyTite is a minimally invasive surgical body-sculpting treatment that also helps tighten skin. It can deliver the shape you have been trying to achieve, with the added benefit of addressing loose skin.

Reveal Your Best Body

A revolutionary body contouring, skin tightening therapy, BodyTite improves skin laxity while targeting stubborn fat bulges that seem resistant to diet and exercise. It is minimally invasive, employing advanced RFAL (radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis) to deliver controlled waves of heat energy uniformly across the skin surface. It reaches deep into the dermis to destroy subcutaneous fat cells.

These energy waves penetrate deep, causing a thermal reaction and stimulating collagen renewal. It is an optimal non-surgical treatment for patients who look to address stubborn fat, as well as loose skin on the back, abdomen, sides, chest, thighs, hips, or upper arms. BodyTite can deliver these benefits in a single, streamlined treatment session.   

Quick, Convenient, and Painless

BodyTite is a convenient outpatient surgical procedure done under an oral sedative with general anesthesia for maximum comfort.  Dr. Dreyfuss will make a small incision in the treatment area, so small that sutures are not even necessary. He will then insert a thin probe that rests just below the skin surface. Next, he will gently move the device through the treatment areas in a continuous motion to allow the thermal energy to take effect.

This process liquifies adjacent fat cells and triggers collagen regeneration, while an external probe will generate elastin and collagen contractions. The BodyTite device provides optimal safety with sophisticated computer software that can ensure precise temperature and time controls that will give stunning results while minimizing risk.

Minimal Downtime, Lasting Results 

BodyTite delivers stellar body shaping and skin tightening results that last, much like surgical liposuction. The difference between the two is that BodyTite is non-surgical and doesn’t require extensive recovery or downtime. Most patients are back to their regular routine within a week.

Once a nominal amount of swelling subsides, you will experience tighter skin and a shapelier contour at the treatment site. For several weeks these results will continue to improve, resulting in spectacular results as the body naturally disposes of targeted fat, and the collagen regeneration process continues to unfold.

When it comes to removing unwanted fat pads and bulges, Chicagoans have several options to get the results they want. Liposuction has been a mainstay in aesthetic surgery to get rid of pesky fat that diet and exercise simply can’t eliminate. But over the past few years, minimally-invasive technology has taken cosmetic medicine by storm. The prospect of achieving transformative results without the downtime of surgery is appealing to many patients—but do these procedures work? 

At Dreyfuss Plastic Surgery, we offer two proven body sculpting technologies that use different approaches but achieve excellent results. Bodytite and CoolSculpting are both worth considering if you’re looking to have 2020 bring you a sleeker, tighter body outline.

What is CoolSculpting?

This non-surgical treatment uses advanced fat freezing technology to target fat without affecting adjacent tissue. The procedure crystallizes fat cells, killing them and allowing your body to naturally flush them away. Once the fat cells are gone, they don’t return, so you can count on permanent changes.

What is BodyTite?

This minimally-invasive technology produces long-lasting body shaping results in a single session through radio-frequency assisted lipolysis or RFAL. It tightens skin as it reduces fat bulges that reside in those troubled spots that you just can’t seem to target with diet and exercise.

CoolSculpting vs. BodyTite

CoolSculpting and BodyTite both can rid the body of unwanted fat, but their approaches couldn’t be more different. BodyTite melts fat cells with radiofrequency and then sucks them from the treatment site, while CoolSculpting freezes the fat cells, allowing the body to flush them away naturally. 

BodyTite is a minimally-invasive type of liposuction that requires mild sedation. Unwanted fat is extracted through tiny incisions; this is combined with radiofrequency treatment that stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. The results are immediate and long-lasting, with most patients able to return to work after a day or two. 

CoolSculpting uses the technology cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells until they die and break down. The results take up to three months to fully realize, but there is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities right away after your treatment.

Preferences

We are happy to help you decide between these two state-of-the-art transformative procedures. BodyTite is a safe, minimally-invasive form of liposuction that is highly effective in the removal of fat from those trouble spots. CoolSculpting is an ideal treatment for patients who want a non-invasive procedure with no incisions and no downtime. We work with all of our patients to develop a customized treatment plan to ensure that you meet your goals and get the body you want.
