Treatment Overview
BodyTite Lipolysis in Korea is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses InMode’s BodyTite technology powered by radio-frequency assisted lipolysis (RFAL). It simultaneously melts stubborn fat and tightens skin, offering results similar to liposuction but with less downtime, smaller incisions, and added skin-firming benefits.
Korean dermatology and aesthetic clinics often recommend BodyTite for larger body areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks, and back. For smaller, delicate zones, AccuTite may be used, while Morpheus8 RF microneedling is sometimes added to boost skin tightening and collagen remodeling.
Purpose & Benefits
- Fat Reduction: Removes stubborn localized fat deposits.
- Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen and elastin for firmer skin.
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions compared to traditional liposuction.
- Improved Body Contour: Smooths and sculpts larger areas.
- Dual Action: Fat melting + skin contraction in one session.
- Faster Recovery: Less downtime than surgical body contouring.
Ideal Candidates
BodyTite Lipolysis in Korea is recommended for:
- Patients with stubborn fat in abdomen, thighs, arms, flanks, or back.
- Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity.
- Those seeking a non-surgical or less invasive alternative to liposuction.
- People who want both fat removal and skin tightening in one treatment.
- Patients combining BodyTite with AccuTite (for precision areas) or Morpheus8 (for deeper tightening).
Possible Risks & Complications
- Swelling or Bruising: Temporary, subsides in a few days.
- Tenderness or Soreness: May last 1–2 weeks.
- Rare Risks: Burns, uneven contours, or minor infection if not done properly.
- Not Suitable For: Pregnant women, those with severe skin laxity requiring surgery, or patients with uncontrolled health conditions.
Treatment Techniques Used
- RFAL Technology (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis): Melts fat and tightens skin simultaneously.
- BodyTite Cannula: Inserted under skin to deliver heat precisely.
- Dual Temperature Control: Ensures safe and effective treatment.
- Combination Protocols: Often paired with AccuTite, Morpheus8, or fat transfer.
- Sessions Required: Typically 1 session per area; results may be enhanced with additional treatments.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild swelling and bruising; compression garment applied.
- 1–2 Days: Resume light activities.
- 1–2 Weeks: Swelling decreases; skin tightening begins.
- 1–3 Months: Progressive contouring as collagen remodels.
Aftercare Tips:
- Wear compression garments as advised.
- Avoid intense exercise for 1–2 weeks.
- Stay hydrated to support healing.
- Maintain stable weight for long-lasting results.
Results & Longevity
- After 1 Session: Slimmer, more contoured treatment area.
- After 1–3 Months: Visible fat reduction with tighter skin.
- After 6 Months: Peak results as collagen fully remodels.
- Longevity: Results last 5–7 years, provided weight remains stable; fat cells removed do not return.
