BodyTite in
San Diego & La Jolla
At True Beauty in San Diego and La Jolla, we specialize in advanced body contouring treatments to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals. One of the most popular and effective procedures we offer is BodyTite, a minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to both remove fat and tighten skin. If you are considering BodyTite to enhance your appearance, this guide will help you understand how it works, the benefits, and what to expect.
What BodyTite Is and How It Works
BodyTite is an innovative body contouring procedure that combines liposuction with radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and remove stubborn fat. It works by inserting a small cannula under the skin, which emits radiofrequency energy to heat targeted areas. This process liquefies fat cells, making them easier to remove while stimulating collagen production for skin tightening.
Because of the dual approach, BodyTite is particularly effective for patients who are concerned not only with excess fat but also with skin laxity, offering a smoother, more contoured result.
Benefits of BodyTite
The benefits of BodyTite go beyond simple fat reduction. Key advantages include:
- Minimally invasive: Unlike traditional liposuction, BodyTite involves smaller incisions, leading to less scarring and shorter recovery times.
- Skin tightening: BodyTite helps tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging, which is especially important for areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
- Precise results: The combination of radiofrequency energy and liposuction allows for highly targeted fat removal and contouring.
- Quick recovery: Most patients can resume daily activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
Ideal Candidates for BodyTite
BodyTite is ideal for individuals who have areas of stubborn fat and mild to moderate skin laxity that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring treatment for those close to their ideal weight. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results.

BodyTite for Specific Areas
BodyTite can be used to treat various areas of the body, including:
- Arms: It is ideal for reducing excess fat and tightening skin in the upper arms, an area that is prone to sagging.
- Abdomen: For those with excess fat and loose skin on the belly, BodyTite offers a more toned and firm appearance.
- Back and Bra Rolls: BodyTite can target stubborn fat around the back and flanks, smoothing out rolls and bulges.
- Knees: The procedure can also be used on smaller areas like the knees to remove fat and improve definition.
Procedure Details
During the BodyTite procedure, the following steps are typically involved:
- The treatment area is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort.
- A small incision is made to insert the thin cannula under the skin.
- The cannula delivers radiofrequency energy, heating the tissue and liquefying fat cells.
- The liquefied fat is suctioned out, while the radiofrequency energy stimulates skin tightening.
- Once the treatment is complete, the incisions are closed, and a compression garment may be applied to assist with healing.
