BodyTite: Firmer contours and a defined silhouette without surgery
Auf dieser Seite
Unwanted fat deposits and areas of sagging skin are common aesthetic concerns among our patients. Conventional methods often provide only limited improvement. That is why we rely on one of the most advanced technologies available – highly effective and yet gentle on the skin: BodyTite! This minimally invasive technique combines liposuction with intensive skin tightening. Without surgery and with virtually no downtime.

How BodyTite works:
Liposuction plus firmer, more elastic skin in a single treatment!
BodyTite is a device by the US manufacturer InMode that uses radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to tighten connective tissue and fatty tissue – on an outpatient basis and without surgery. In most cases, local anaesthesia is sufficient.
The basis of BodyTite is bipolar radiofrequency energy. Fat cells are selectively removed whilst the connective tissue is simultaneously tightened. In practice, this works as follows: our doctors introduce a fine cannula into the subcutaneous fatty tissue. The fatty tissue is heated via this cannula. This causes the connective tissue septa to contract, stimulates collagen production, and melts the fat cells, which are then gently aspirated. The results can last 5 to 8 years.
Your benefits
- Minimally invasive: No scarring, reduced recovery time.
- Dual effect: Fat removal and skin tightening in a single session.
- Targeted treatment: Precise control of radiofrequency energy.
- Safe technique: The surrounding tissue is protected.
Areas of application – Which areas can be treated with BodyTite?
BodyTite is ideal for areas of the body with pronounced fat deposits.
- Upper arms, e.g. "bingo wings"
- Abdomen (upper and lower) and waist
- Thighs (inner and outer) and "saddlebags"
- Hips – "love handles"
- Knee area: improvement of skin firmness above the knee
- Back – fat deposits along the bra line
- Buttocks: tightening and contouring
Treatment process at Dr. Schuhmann & Colleagues
- Planning: We discuss your wishes and the course of your treatment. This includes a detailed 3D simulation of the expected effects and a skin analysis.
- BodyTite: The treatment area is locally anaesthetised and the BodyTite cannula is introduced through a tiny skin incision. The radiofrequency energy liquefies the fat, which we aspirate simultaneously. The tissue is additionally tightened.
- Aftercare: We provide you with precise instructions for caring for the treated area. In some cases, wearing compression garments temporarily is advisable.
Results and longevity – When will changes become visible?
The first visible effects appear immediately after the treatment. In the months following the treatment, the tissue continues to tighten. Approximately 80 per cent of the maximum result is achieved after 3 months – the tightening process is complete at around 12 months. With an appropriate lifestyle, the results can last for several years.

Frequently asked questions
How many sessions are needed?
As a rule, a single session per treatment area is sufficient. If required, a further treatment can be carried out.
Is the treatment painful?
Thanks to the local anaesthesia, the treatment is pain-free. On the day after the treatment, mild swelling and a sensation of tension may occur – these typically subside quickly.
How long is the recovery period?
Your recovery period is very short and, as a rule, no downtime is required. You should refrain from sporting or strenuous activities for a period of time – up to three weeks – so as not to interfere with the healing process. Light physical activity can be resumed after just a few days.
When can I exercise again after BodyTite treatment?
This depends on the type of sport. On average, you should avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Please feel free to speak with us if you are unsure whether your sport could affect the healing process.
How does BodyTite differ from conventional liposuction?
BodyTite combines lipolysis with targeted skin tightening using radiofrequency energy. The results? Smoother and firmer skin. Traditional liposuction removes fat cells but does not include any skin tightening. Particularly where skin elasticity is poor and fat reduction is significant, this can lead to unwanted results and areas of loose skin.
Which treatment combinations are possible?
With BodyTite, we achieve a tightening effect of approximately 30 per cent. Where fat deposits and skin laxity are more pronounced, combinations such as surgical abdominoplasty may be considered. We are also happy to advise you on this at the practice of Schuhmann & Colleagues. A combination with Morpheus8 to unite intensive superficial tightening with deep-tissue tightening is also a possibility.
What risks are possible?
The risks are comparable to those of liposuction and are therefore low. Minor irregularities or localised overheating are theoretically possible, but are very rare when the treatment is carried out correctly by experienced practitioners.
What should I bear in mind after BodyTite treatment?
We recommend that you take things easy physically for a few days. Depending on the treatment, we advise wearing compression garments for one to two weeks. Mild swelling, which may occur as a result of the treatment and is harmless, will subside within a few weeks. Eighty per cent of the result is achieved after approximately three months.
