Loose, sagging skin and stubborn fat on the upper arms can be frustrating, especially when exercise and diet fail to deliver the desired shape. BodyTite offers a minimally invasive way to address these concerns without the long recovery and scarring of traditional arm lift surgery. At Dr. Maya Kato’s practice, we are proud to offer BodyTite as part of our advanced aesthetic treatments.
Why Arms Are Prone to Sagging
The skin on the upper arms is thinner and more prone to losing elasticity as collagen production slows with age. Add in factors like weight fluctuations, genetics, and sun damage, and the result can be a soft, sagging appearance that’s difficult to reverse naturally.
How BodyTite Works
BodyTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology, which simultaneously:
-
Melts stubborn fat for easier removal
-
Stimulates collagen production to tighten skin
-
Improves skin texture for a smoother, more youthful contour
The Procedure in Detail
-
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is used for comfort
-
Incisions: Small openings are made to insert a thin probe
-
Treatment: RF energy is applied to melt fat and contract skin
-
Duration: The procedure usually takes about 1–2 hours
Recovery and Downtime
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week. Compression garments are often recommended to support healing and enhance results. You can expect to return to non-strenuous activities within a few days, with gradual improvement over the following months.
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
BodyTite is ideal for those with mild to moderate sagging and stubborn fat pockets who want a sleeker arm contour without a surgical arm lift.
