bodySCULPT Interviewed on Modern Medicines
The Aesthetics Channel
2

• NY-based plastic surgeons Spero J. Theodorou, MD,
  and Christopher T. Chia, M.D were interviewed on
  Modern Medicines The Aesthetics Channel on 6th
  August 2018.
• The surgeons elaborated on the body sculpting
  treatment gap that some patients experience. 

3
The interview questions covered topics such as

• Treatment gap terminology
• Candidates that experience treatment gap
• How Radio frequency-assisted Liposuction (RFAL)
  is different from other available options for
  surgeons
• Eligible candidates for the RFAL technique

4
Patients in the Treatment Gap

• A number of in-between patients fall into the
  treatment gap category.
• These patients are not candidates for an
  excisional procedure that may involve long scars.
• They may be too young to undergo such a
  procedure, or the quality of their skin is not
  bad enough for a scar.

5

• They have concerns such as soft tissue laxity,
  adiposity, and aging.
• Liposuction is not recommended for this group
  because their skin laxity may lead to saggy skin
  after the procedure.
• Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction can
  successfully address the concerns of these
  patients caught in the treatment gap.

Check Out the Key Questions Answered
7

• Dr. Theodorou explained that radiofrequency-assi
  sted lipolysis is different, as it is a minimally
  invasive option that offers more skin
  contraction, oftentimes up to 40 more than any
  other option on the market.
• It is one of the most published technologies,
  with over 20 peer-reviewed North American
  clinical papers and similar number of clinical
  studies.

How is radiofrequency-assisted liposuction
different from other available options for
surgeons?
8

• The best candidates for the RFAL procedure are
  not limited to patients that belong to the gap
  category. 
• The procedure is ideal for every patient with
  some degree of skin laxity.
• Patients with visibly damaged skin with zero
  elasticity or secondary to massive weight loss
  may not have as good a response to this
  technology.

Who are the best candidates for radio
frequency-assisted approach and who are not?

According to Dr. Chia, the safety and efficacy of
BodyTite, FaceTite (Inmode) and
radiofrequency-assisted liposuction have been
demonstrated by peer-reviewed articles in
prestigious journals such as Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) Journal and
Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
What have studies found regarding the procedures
efficacy and safety?
10

• A properly trained and skilled plastic surgeon is
  essential to perform the procedure to minimize
  risk and provide the best results.
• Temperature sensors embedded in BodyTite and
  FaceTite devices prevent over treatment and other
  concerns.
• There are reduced risks as the technology has
  built-in safeguards, such as thermal temperature
  monitoring and automatic cutoff of energy.

What can go wrong with this procedure and how to
identify them early?

Some Tips for Achieving Optimal Outcomes with
Radiofrequency-assisted Liposuction
Dr. Chia explained that the BodyTite platform
comes with clinical and practical safeguards that
not only maximize safety but also target how
effectively the heat is applied.
12

• This device not only ensures limiting the
  temperature reached to avoid complications but
  also gives the operator real-time temp readings
  to ensure the areas being treated are within the
  therapeutic range for optimal soft tissue
  contraction to avoid under treatment.
• Coupled with the local anesthesia option,
  patients can also enjoy benefits such as
• Greater safety
• Shorter recovery, and
• Financial advantages with equivalent or better
  results achievable with traditional modes of
  anesthesia

bodySCULPT plastic surgeons have years of
experience in performing this procedure and are
inventors of the Scarless Arm Lift procedure
(BodyTite on Arms).
