SUMMARY

This study is published in German.

Abstract
This clinical study investigated the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL™) using the BodyTite™ system in 51 patients across multiple body areas. The average aspirated fat volume was 2404 ml per patient, with procedures performed under standardized protocols in Austria and Argentina. Postoperative evaluations at 6 and 12 weeks confirmed significant improvements in body contour and skin tightening, with no major systemic or local complications reported. Histological findings revealed adipocyte rupture, vessel coagulation, and collagen remodeling, supporting the technology’s dual mechanism of fat reduction and soft tissue tightening.

Conclusion
The study confirms that BodyTite RFAL is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive technique for fat removal and skin tightening, outperforming traditional and other energy-assisted liposuction methods. Patients achieved measurable fat reduction, skin tightening, and high satisfaction with rapid recovery and minimal complications. These results position BodyTite RFAL as a superior option for liposculpture, offering predictable outcomes with an excellent safety profile.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Application of BodyTite RFAL for liposuction with simultaneous skin tightening.
  • Histological evidence of adipocyte rupture, collagen remodeling, and vessel coagulation.
  • Safety protocols with controlled RF delivery and thermal monitoring.
  • Clinical results showing improved contour, reduced fat, and measurable skin contraction.
  • Comparison of BodyTite with conventional liposuction methods in terms of outcomes and safety.
