BodyTite Edmonton is a new technology resulting in both fat removal and skin tightening.
Youthful appearance is often characterized by taut-looking skin and proportional body dimensions. However, when diet, exercise and/or prescription medications do not adequately control our shape, liposuction is another option. By combining an advance form of liposuction with skin tightening techniques, a new technology has been created. This technology, BodyTite, provides the best cosmetic results possible by allowing for both fat removal as well as skin tightening. BodyTite is available in Edmonton since 2011. Dr. Sapijaszko, an expert in dermatology and dermatologic surgery, was the first physician in Alberta trained to perform this advanced form of liposuction.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a very popular procedure. Its safety has improved tremendously in recent years, as more developed liposuction methods have become available. Liposuction is designed to remove unwanted localized deposits of fat cells, that are unresponsive to exercise and/or a good diet. Although weight loss may occur, it is not designed for that specific purpose, but rather for body shaping and contouring. Liposuction is often performed under local anaesthesia (safer form of anaesthesia) which allows patients to move or even stand up during the procedure. This results in more uniform and symmetrical body contouring. As a proven safe and effective treatment for unwanted fat, liposuction is a reputable procedure that continues to gain popularity and delivers results. The fat is always visible removed!
Contemporary liposuction is based on using diluted local anaesthesia (tumescent anaesthesia) to facilitate fat removal with low risk of bleeding or other complications. Although fat cells can be removed successfully, skin and tissue contraction is unpredictable. One solution for this was the introduction of laser liposuction technologies. The objective of the lasers was to heat the fat and skin cells to promote tissue contraction. The challenge is laser fibers are very small, allowing only small areas of tissue to be heated at given time. This results in uneven skin temperature distribution and does not stimulate optimal skin tightening.
BodyTite was developed to improve laser liposuction technologies. The major advantage of BodyTite, over traditional and even laser liposuction methods, is its ability to uniformly heat both deeper as well as superficial tissue layers.
How does BodyTite differ from other forms of liposuction?
Unlike previous liposuction procedures, BodyTite utilizes radiofrequency technology, which has been proven to be reliable in a variety of other medical and surgical devices. Radiofrequency technology heats fat cells, the fibrous septae between them, as well as all layers of the skin. This is not just random heating. There are multiple controls and safety mechanisms that ensure this treatment is as safe as possible. This precise uniformity of energy delivery makes BodyTite the unique and effective procedure it is.

How does BodyTite tissue contraction compare to other liposuction methods?
Just like traditional liposuction, BodyTite is performed under local anaesthesia conditions in an accredited facility. Studies indicate that BodyTite results in greater tissue contraction than any other liposuction method available today, including but not limited to traditional tumescent liposuction, laser liposuction, and smart liposuction. This noteworthy skin tightening is a result of both sub-dermal (just underneath the skin) as well fibrous septae heating. Such uniform heating incites a more three-dimensional tissue contracture.
Which body areas can be treated with BodyTite liposuction?
As with previous liposuction methods, multiple areas on the body can be successfully treated. This includes the neck, chin and jowls, male chest, abdominal regions, flanks, hips, back, thighs, knees and calves. The unique skin tightening advantage of BodyTite makes it ideal for areas where maximum skin tightening is desired. The before and after pictures are truly amazing.

How do side effects and risks of BodyTite compare to other forms of liposuction?
All surgical techniques carry a certain amount of risk. The risks of any given procedure depend on the inherent flaws of the technology as well as the skills and experience of the physician and surgeon. In general, the greater the technical demands of the technology, the more knowledgeable the physician needs to be for optimal operation. BodyTite, when performed by proficient physician, has a similar risk profile to traditional pure tumescent liposuction with the additional benefit of an enhanced skin tightening effect. All surgeries and procedures have some degree of side effects and it is important to select a physician with experience and training.

How does the price of BodyTite compare to other forms of liposuction?
The cost of a liposuction procedure does depend on the number of areas being treated, and the cost of BodyTite is comparable to other forms of liposuction. Due to the advanced equipment that is needed to deliver the unparalleled results BodyTite produces, there are some additional costs.
Now, once again, innovative technology comes to the rescue. Not only can BodyTite safely remove fat cells but it can also improve skin tone and tightness. It’s not just for models and movie stars, but people just like you and me – teachers, mothers, and business people from all walks of life. It is that affordable! When administered by a physician with proficient knowledge and training, it may be the most advanced liposuction technology available today.
