Body fat reduction with minimally invasive procedures

Exercise and diet are proven highly effective healthy practices that help men and women maintain good physical fitness and maintain a weight close to their ideal level. However, despite the effort, discipline, and sacrifice these practices demand, the results are often insufficient, as stubborn fat deposits—in the hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and face—refuse to disappear. The solution offered by cosmetic medicine to eliminate these small bulges and improve body shape is liposuction, a technique developed to remove fat accumulations that do not respond to exercise or diet alone.

The magic of radiofrequency

The most advanced solution that technology offers for body contouring, through the elimination of unwanted fat and excess skin, is found in BodyTite , a radiofrequency-assisted medical platform. It is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no hospitalization, is performed under local anesthesia, and provides such amazing results that the patient can return to their daily activities within a few days. Although BodyTite offers surgical-like results, it leaves no scars. How does it work? A very fine cannula is inserted into the patient’s subdermal tissue to heat the area where fat has accumulated, using radiofrequency technology.

• Before starting the treatment, we delimit the area to be treated with a marker, and apply a sterile gel to facilitate the sliding of a cannula.
• The doctor makes a small, discreet incision to insert a thinner cannula into the skin. This cannula has an internal electrode at its proximal end, covered in silicone, which is placed in the fat deposit.
• With the inner cannula in the protuberance and the outer one on the skin, its two electrodes are joined at one end and the radiofrequency waves are transmitted through the skin.
• The heat generated by radiofrequency waves produces a heating of the fat, until it liquefies it, contracts the subdermal tissue and retracts the skin.

This procedure, which reduces fat without leaving skin loose and wrinkled, also helps reduce skin laxity caused by weight loss or aging. Various areas of the body can be treated in a single session (each procedure takes 15 minutes), and with BodyTite technology, results are immediately visible and continue to improve over the following twelve months.
