BodyTite® RF is an advanced, minimally invasive body contouring procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to tighten skin and reduce unwanted fat in a single treatment. At Elysium Chicago Aesthetics + Longevity, we offer BodyTite® to help patients in Chicago, River North, and Downtown Chicago achieve smoother, firmer contours without traditional surgery or long recovery times.

Overview
What is a Minimally Invasive BodyTite RF Procedure?
BodyTite® works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy both above and below the skin’s surface through a small, thin cannula. This dual-energy approach simultaneously liquefies fat and stimulates collagen contraction, tightening the overlying tissue as it contours the treated area.
Unlike traditional liposuction, BodyTite® provides significant fat reduction and skin tightening with minimal scarring and downtime. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia or light sedation for patient comfort and is ideal for those who want to improve shape and firmness without undergoing excisional surgery.
At Elysium Chicago, our skilled providers customize each BodyTite® treatment plan based on the patient’s anatomy, desired outcome, and skin elasticity to ensure natural, lasting results.

Treatment
What You Can Expect
Full
Consultation
During your consultation, your provider will review your areas of concern, evaluate your skin elasticity, and create a custom BodyTite® plan tailored to your goals.
Advanced
Procedure
A local anesthetic is applied, and a small incision allows for insertion of the thin BodyTite® cannula beneath the skin. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered internally and externally to liquefy fat and contract tissue. Most procedures last 60–120 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
Gradual
Outcome
Mild swelling or tenderness is expected for a few days. Results begin to appear within weeks and continue to improve for up to 6 months as collagen production increases and skin tightens.
Eligibility
Who Is a Good Candidate for BodyTite® RF?
BodyTite® is best suited for patients who have small to moderate fat deposits combined with mild to moderate skin laxity that cannot be improved through exercise alone.
You May Be an Ideal Candidate If You:
- Have localized fat areas resistant to diet and exercise
- Want to tighten skin without surgical excision
- Are in good health and not pregnant
- Prefer a minimally invasive approach with shorter recovery
