Are you interested in reducing fat and tightening skin without surgery? If so, BodyTite™ could be the minimally invasive body sculpting treatment you’ve been seeking.
Using advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy, BodyTite targets fat, connective tissue, and skin simultaneously to create smoother contours and firmer results. The team at Old Town Med Spa, led by board-certified physicians, offers this service for patients who want visible improvement with minimal scarring, shorter downtime, and a quicker return to daily activities.
What is BodyTite ™ ?
BodyTite is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure that can achieve results similar to those of more invasive surgical treatments. It uses controlled radiofrequency energy to tighten the dermis and subdermal connective tissue matrix while reducing subcutaneous fat. Even heat delivery helps smooth and balance the treated area while breaking down fat from both inside and outside the tissue. This process also reshapes the connective tissue, leading to more even, natural-looking body contours.
Key Benefits:
BodyTite is a powerful option for those seeking a more contoured physique without surgery. People choose this service because:
- It controls heating to ensure consistent treatment results, avoiding over- or under-treated areas.
- It features real-time temperature monitoring in deep fat areas and on the skin surface.
- It provides different treatment modalities for each tissue layer, from the deep fat layer up to the skin’s surface.
- It causes minimal bruising and scarring.
- There’s less trauma with shorter recovery.
- It can be done with just local anesthesia or conscious sedation.
- It can target various areas of the body.
- It carries less risk and potential complications than traditional surgery.

Ideal Candidates for BodyTite
The best candidates for BodyTite are men and women who are at a healthy weight but struggle with stubborn fat bulges. It may not be appropriate for individuals with significant excess skin, large weight fluctuations, or medical conditions that make minimally invasive procedures unsafe (bleeding disorders, active skin infections, etc.).
What Kind of Results Can You Expect From BodyTite?
Over time, BodyTite causes 25-45% tissue contraction, along with tightening. As long as you maintain your weight within 5 to 10 pounds, the results of your BodyTite treatment will last for years.
In addition to tightening skin while reducing fat, BodyTite can also help improve skin laxity after excessive weight loss or aging. Patients see 40% firmer, more toned results compared to traditional liposuction.
Recovery and Downtime
BodyTite leaves minimal scars that fade with time. Patients may experience bruising and swelling, but the level of discomfort is greatly reduced.
Most of our BodyTite patients only have 2-3 days of downtime and achieve full recovery very quickly. A compression garment may also have to be worn after BodyTite.

FAQs
When BodyTite is performed in combination with liposuction, it helps reduce skin laxity and achieve better results, preventing more extensive surgery and larger scars. During your consultation, your provider will help you decide whether this pairing is appropriate for you.
Many patients notice early improvements within the first few weeks after a BodyTite procedure as swelling subsides and tissues begin to contract.
Initial contour changes may be visible fairly quickly, but results continue to develop over time. The radiofrequency energy stimulates tissue contraction and collagen remodeling, which is a gradual process.
Most patients see more defined, noticeable outcomes between three and six months, with continued improvement for up to a year. Individual results can vary based on the treatment area, skin quality, and whether BodyTite was combined with liposuction.
BodyTite is considered safe for a wide range of skin tones and skin types because it works beneath the skin using controlled radiofrequency energy rather than relying on light-based technology. This reduces the risk of pigmentation changes that can occur with certain laser treatments. Built-in temperature monitoring also helps maintain consistent energy delivery, protecting surrounding tissues while targeting fat and promoting skin contraction.
That said, a thorough evaluation is still important before moving forward with this service. Factors like skin laxity, medical history, and treatment goals help determine suitability and ensure a safe, well-planned procedure.
In most cases, BodyTite is designed as a single-session procedure per treatment area. The technology delivers enough radiofrequency energy in one treatment to produce meaningful fat reduction and tissue tightening. However, the exact approach depends on individual goals, the size of the area being treated, and whether BodyTite is combined with liposuction or other procedures.
Some patients may benefit from additional treatments for further refinement, though this is less common. A consultation allows your provider to determine the most appropriate plan based on expected outcomes.
