BodyTite
Consultations offered at our five convenient locations in Harley Street, London, Princess Margaret Hospital, (Windsor), Spire Thames Valley, (Gerrards Cross), Kings' Oak Hospital, (Enfield) and Refresh Medispa, (Amersham)
BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten excess skin and create a smoother, more contoured appearance, oftentimes after liposuction. (1) As time passes, the effects of ageing, weight fluctuations, and environmental factors can significantly impact the way our bodies look and feel. Stubborn fat deposits, skin laxity, and loss of definition can develop despite an individual’s best efforts through diet and exercise. For many people, these changes not only alter their physical appearance but can also affect their self-confidence. Minimally invasive body contouring solutions have gained increasing popularity, offering individuals the ability to refine their silhouettes without the extensive downtime or scarring associated with traditional surgical procedures.
At Refresh Cosmetic Surgery, Dr Maisam Fazel and his experienced team specialise in helping patients achieve remarkable body contouring results with less downtime and minimal invasion. One of the ways this is achieved is through BodyTite, a revolutionary radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology designed to remove fat and tighten skin simultaneously.
With five convenient locations across the United Kingdom, Refresh Cosmetic Surgery has become a trusted destination for individuals seeking effective, cutting-edge body sculpting solutions tailored to their unique goals.

About BodyTite
BodyTite is an advanced minimally invasive treatment that combines fat removal and skin tightening in one procedure. Utilising radiofrequency energy, BodyTite not only liquefies unwanted fat (2) but also stimulates collagen production, (3) resulting in smoother, firmer skin. Unlike traditional liposuction, which can sometimes leave patients with loose skin, BodyTite addresses both fat and skin laxity simultaneously, making it a powerful option for comprehensive body rejuvenation.
During the procedure, a small probe delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the targeted tissues. This process generates heat, encouraging fat breakdown and immediate skin contraction while also promoting long-term collagen remodelling. Patients can experience a more youthful-looking, contoured appearance without the need for large incisions or lengthy recovery periods. These factors all contribute to the fact that BodyTite treatments are growing in popularity and are often associated with high patient satisfaction rates. (1)
Benefits
BodyTite’s popularity and high patient satisfaction rates are largely due to the wide range of advantages this treatment provides. Some of these benefits associated with BodyTite include:
- Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening: BodyTite removes stubborn fat while tightening the surrounding skin, providing dual benefits in a single procedure.
- Minimally Invasive Treatment: BodyTite only requires tiny incisions, reducing the risk of scarring and promoting quicker healing compared to traditional liposuction.
- Precision Contouring: The radiofrequency energy allows for precise control, enabling personalised body sculpting for optimal results.
- Stimulated Collagen Production: Increased collagen and elastin production improve skin firmness and elasticity over time. (3)
- Reduced Downtime: Most patients experience a significantly faster recovery compared to traditional body contouring procedures.
- Minimal Scarring: Only small access points are needed for this procedure (the same ones used during liposuction).
- Natural-Looking Results: Patients often enjoy smoother contours and more natural-looking enhancements to their body shape.
- Long-Lasting Results: With a healthy lifestyle, the results of BodyTite can be maintained for many years.
Eligible Candidates
Ideal candidates for BodyTite are individuals who are close to their desired body weight but struggle with localised fat deposits and skin laxity that will not respond to diet and exercise. Suitable candidates generally include:
- Individuals with moderate skin laxity and stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, or back.
- Those who prefer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
- Patients who are in good general health and maintain a stable weight.
- Non-smokers or those willing to stop using nicotine during treatment.
- Individuals with realistic expectations about the results and recovery process.
- Patients seeking body contouring without extensive scarring or downtime.
Even if you do not meet all these criteria, Dr Fazel can still help you determine if BodyTite is right for you during your consultation.

Preparation
Preparation for BodyTite is relatively simple but important for ensuring a smooth experience and optimal results. Dr Fazel will provide you with a customised list of pre-treatment instructions, which may include:
- Ceasing the use of nicotine products several weeks before and after the procedure.
- Avoiding medications and supplements that can thin the blood, as directed by Dr Fazel.
- Maintaining a healthy and stable weight leading up to your treatment.
- Arrange for a friend or family member to assist you post-treatment and drive you home on the day of your procedure.
Adhering to Dr Fazel’s guidelines will help set the foundation for a smooth treatment and excellent results.
Procedure
On the day of your BodyTite procedure, you will be welcomed into a comfortable and private setting at Refresh Cosmetic Surgery. Dr Fazel will begin by making tiny incisions in the treatment area, through which the BodyTite probe is inserted. The device simultaneously emits radiofrequency energy to melt fat and tighten the surrounding skin. The liquefied fat is then gently suctioned out of the body. Throughout the process, real-time temperature monitoring ensures safety and effective outcomes. Depending on the size and number of areas being treated, the procedure typically lasts between one and three hours. Once complete, Dr Fazel will close the tiny incisions with absorbable sutures or adhesive strips, minimising any scarring.
Recovery
Recovery from BodyTite is notably shorter and easier than traditional body contouring procedures. Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activities within a few days, but may need to refrain from more strenuous activities for a few weeks or until Dr Fazel clears you. Many patients find that they can return to work and social activities within a week. The recovery process will look different for every individual, and Dr Fazel and his team will provide you with personalised recovery instructions and remain available for you to contact if you have any questions or concerns during your recovery.
Results
While some improvement will be visible almost immediately, the best results typically develop gradually over several months as collagen production continues and the skin tightens further. (3) With this in mind, following Bodytite treatments, Dr Fazel’s patients often enjoy:
- Smoother, more defined body contours.
- Firmer, more youthful skin texture.
- A natural and enhanced appearance with minimal scarring.
Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle will help prolong the results. Many of Dr Fazel’s patients report being highly satisfied with their outcomes, especially given the minimally invasive nature of the procedure.
Corresponding Procedures
For those seeking even more comprehensive results, BodyTite can be combined with other procedures. Popular additional treatments include:
- Morpheus8, which can tighten the skin and improve its texture for a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.
- FaceTite, which uses the same RFAL technology as BodyTite but is specifically tailored for the delicate tissues of the face and neck..
- VASER liposuction. which can address larger treatment areas that require more extensive fat removal.
Dr Fazel will discuss your options during the consultation and help you build a customised plan to meet your aesthetic goals.
