Tighten, Sculpt & Recontour Without Major Surgery
BodyTite® in Burlington
BodyTite® is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted body contouring (RFAL) treatment that melts localized fat and tightens skin to improve the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, bra roll and other problem areas. Using precise RF energy beneath and above the skin, BodyTite produces surgical-grade contraction with smaller incisions and a shorter recovery than traditional body surgery. Treatments are delivered under board-supervised care with a personalized plan to maximize contour while minimizing downtime and visible scarring.
Who this is for
Adults with localized fat pockets and mild-to-moderate skin laxity who want meaningful contour improvement without a full surgical procedure.
What to expect
A consultation determines candidacy and target zones. Procedures are performed in-clinic (or the OR for larger cases) under local anaesthetic with optional sedation; typical sessions last 45–120 minutes depending on the area treated. Expect swelling, bruising and temporary numbness; most patients resume light activity within days and normal activity within 1–2 weeks. Progressive tightening continues over 3–6 months as tissues remodel.
LIFT. REFINE. DEFINE.

Dr. Shih is the best! I was so anxious leading up to my appointment but after meeting her, I felt so calm and confident that I went to the right place. She immediately put me at ease, explained my situation and options, and answered all of my questions.

Dr. Shih and her assistant, Andrea, took the time to understand my goals and provided excellent guidance throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about BodyTite® in Burlington
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite® is a minimally invasive radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) treatment that melts localized fat and tightens skin to improve body contours with smaller incisions than traditional surgery.
How does BodyTite work?
BodyTite delivers controlled radiofrequency energy above and below the skin via a dual-electrode handpiece—this liquefies small pockets of fat and heats the dermis, producing immediate contraction and long-term collagen remodeling.
What areas can BodyTite treat?
Common treatment zones include the abdomen, flanks, arms, inner/outer thighs, bra roll, knees and submental area—anywhere with localized fat and mild-to-moderate skin laxity.
Who is a good candidate for BodyTite?
Good candidates are adults with localized fat pockets and mild-to-moderate skin laxity who are near their ideal weight. BodyTite is not a weight-loss procedure—your surgeon will evaluate overall health and goals during consultation.
What happens during a BodyTite procedure (time & anesthesia)?
Procedures typically last 45–120 minutes depending on zones treated. Most sessions use local tumescent anesthesia with optional light sedation; larger or combined cases may be done in the OR with different anesthesia.
What is the recovery and downtime after BodyTite?
Expect swelling, bruising and temporary numbness for several days to a few weeks. Many patients return to desk work within a few days and resume more vigorous activity after 1–2 weeks; full contouring continues over 3–6 months.
Are BodyTite results immediate and how long do they last?
You’ll notice immediate improvement from fat reduction and tissue contraction, with progressive tightening and remodeling over 3–6 months. Results are long-lasting when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, but aging continues.
Is BodyTite painful?
Discomfort is controlled with local tumescent anesthesia and optional sedation. Post-procedure soreness is common but usually manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief and proper aftercare.
What are the risks and side effects of BodyTite?
Temporary effects include swelling, bruising and numbness. Less common risks are infection, contour irregularity, burns (rare with experienced providers), or prolonged numbness. Choosing a board-supervised team and following aftercare reduces risk.
How much does BodyTite cost and is it covered by insurance?
Cost varies by treatment area, extent, and setting. BodyTite is typically considered cosmetic and paid privately; if treatment addresses a functional issue, partial coverage may be possible—get a personalized quote during consultation.
