4. BodyTite®

Internationally there are 3 BodyTite® hand piece options, a 3.7 mm diameter ˜ <sup>25</sup> cm or <sup>17</sup> cm long and <sup>a</sup> 2.4 mm ˜ <sup>17</sup> cm long, also called the NeckTite®.

The BodyTite® USA workstation comes in 20 W and 40 W configurations, the 40 W being more powerful and faster to endpoints and is called the BodyTite PRO (Figure 11). Both versions of the USA BodyTite® workstations automatically give as much power in watts as the treatment and hand piece needs to achieve the thermal velocity during the treatment of 20°C/cm<sup>2</sup> /s and when this thermal velocity is exceeded (20–25°C/cm<sup>2</sup> /s) will adjust down the energy until it is under 20°C/cm<sup>3</sup> /s and if the rate of rise is >35°C/cm<sup>2</sup> /s will shut off the energy flow and the foot pedal must be tapped again to being. The only BodyTite® hand piece currently available in the USA is the 2.4 mm ˜ <sup>17</sup> cm hand piece.

Following the protocols and parameters outlined above, excellent results using RFAL thermal coagulation can be achieved. The areas that may benefit from BodyTite® and RFAL are outline in Figures 12, 13.
