Experience the Future: BodyTite Turbo (Generation 2)
The latest generation of Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL) for superior skin tightening and fat reduction.
What is BodyTite Turbo (Generation 2)?
BodyTite Turbo represents the cutting-edge evolution of Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (RFAL). As Generation 2 of the acclaimed BodyTite technology, it builds upon its predecessor’s success, delivering enhanced precision and even more impressive skin tightening results.
This advanced, minimally invasive procedure uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently melt fat cells while simultaneously tightening the skin. It’s an ideal solution for larger fatty areas with loose skin, offering a significant improvement without the need for extensive surgery or downtime, addressing concerns like saggy arms, tummy, or thighs.
For patients requiring greater fat removal alongside body contouring, VASER liposuction London may be a more appropriate option, which will be discussed during your consultation.
How BodyTite Turbo Works & What to Expect
The Science of Generation 2 Tightening
BodyTite Turbo utilises an advanced RFAL system. A small probe is inserted under the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy to heat the fat and underlying dermis. This controlled heating melts fat cells, which are then gently suctioned out, while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for significant skin contraction and tightening.
The “Turbo” aspect implies enhanced efficiency and potentially improved results in terms of speed and degree of tightening compared to previous generations. Dr. Anthony’s expertise ensures optimal application of this cutting-edge technology for tailored, natural-looking outcomes.
Key Benefits:
- Up to 30-40% Skin Contraction (clinically proven)
- Permanent Fat Reduction in treated areas
- Minimally Invasive with small incisions
- Reduced downtime compared to traditional surgery
- Suitable for various body areas (abdomen, arms, thighs, neck)
Your Procedure & Recovery Journey
The BodyTite Turbo procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience. Dr. Anthony carefully maps the treatment areas, then uses the BodyTite Turbo handpiece to deliver RF energy, treating both the subcutaneous fat and the skin’s dermal layer. The melted fat is then gently aspirated.
Post-procedure, you’ll wear a compression garment for several weeks to aid healing and optimise skin contraction. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, with full recovery and noticeable results developing over 3-6 months as collagen remodels.
Key Benefits:
- Procedure typically 1-3 hours depending on area
- Compression garment required for 4-6 weeks
- Light activity in days, strenuous exercise in 2-3 weeks
- Mild swelling and bruising are common initially

BodyTite Turbo is radiofrequency-assisted liposuction: it melts and removes fat while heating the tissue under the skin so it contracts. It suits adults with moderate fat and loose skin. Dr Edwin Anthony performs it under local anaesthetic with IV sedation at Langham Hospital, Marylebone.
What BodyTite Turbo is and how it works
BodyTite Turbo is the current generation of InMode's BodyTite system, a form of radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL). It uses two electrodes. An internal cannula sits in the fat under the skin, and an external electrode glides over the skin surface. Radiofrequency energy flows between them, heating the fat so it liquefies and warming the connective tissue so it contracts. The softened fat is then removed by gentle suction.
Built-in temperature sensors on the inner and outer electrodes help keep heating within set limits. It is liposuction, and therefore surgery, carried out in an operating theatre through small entry points. Dr Edwin Anthony has offered BodyTite since 2018.
Who it suits, and who it does not
- Adults aged 18 and over, at or near a stable weight
- Moderate pockets of fat with some skin laxity in the same area
- Common areas: abdomen, flanks, arms, inner and outer thighs, knees, male chest and under the chin
BodyTite Turbo is not a weight-loss treatment. Where the main goal is removing a larger volume of fat or creating athletic definition, Vaser Lipo or Vaser 4D Lipo is usually the better starting point. If there is loose skin but very little fat, heating and removing fat you do not need makes little sense, and QuantumRF may suit you better. Hanging skin needs surgical removal.
The procedure day at Langham Hospital
- Marking. Dr Anthony maps the treatment zones with you standing.
- Anaesthetic. Local anaesthetic with IV sedation given by an anaesthetist.
- Radiofrequency stage. The cannula and external electrode treat each zone, with temperatures monitored throughout.
- Fat removal. The liquefied fat is removed through the same small entry points.
- Garment. Dressings and a compression garment are applied before you go home.
The procedure typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of areas.
Recovery timeline
- Days 1 to 3: swelling, bruising, soreness and fluid leakage from entry points. Walk little and often.
- Days 3 to 7: most patients return to light activities and desk-based work.
- Weeks 2 to 3: more strenuous exercise usually resumes, on Dr Anthony's advice.
- Weeks 4 to 6: the compression garment is worn throughout this period.
- Months 3 to 6: swelling settles and skin contraction continues as collagen remodels.
Results and what the evidence shows
Fat cells removed do not come back, although remaining fat can enlarge with weight gain. Skin tightening develops gradually.
- A 2015 comparison in 10 patients found 22.6% linear contraction at 12 months in arms treated with RFAL, against 17.8% with aggressive superficial liposuction alone. Skin surface area on the front of the arm reduced by 15.0% with RFAL.
- The study was small, so it shows the principle rather than what any individual can expect.
Risks and safety
As with any liposuction, expected effects include bruising, swelling, numbness and firmness. Less common risks include burns, seroma, haematoma, contour irregularity, raised scars, infection and, rarely, blood clots.
In a 2024 single-centre review, 236 BodyTite patients had burns in 4.2% and seroma in 10.2% of cases. That review was sponsored by the maker of a competing device, but it is a useful reminder that energy devices need careful technique. The NHS advises checking that your doctor is on the GMC register and that the hospital is registered with the CQC.
How it compares
| Factor | BodyTite Turbo | Vaser Lipo | Quantum Vaser Lipo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Bipolar radiofrequency | Ultrasound | Ultrasound, then subdermal RF |
| Best for | Moderate fat with laxity | Fat with good skin tone | Fat and mild laxity, with definition |
| Definition work | Limited | Good, more with Vaser 4D Lipo | Good |
| Anaesthetic | Local with IV sedation | Local anaesthetic | Local with IV sedation |
Put simply, BodyTite Turbo leans towards tightening with fat removal, while VASER leans towards precise sculpting. Quantum Vaser Lipo aims to combine both.

Frequently asked questions
What is BodyTite Turbo?
BodyTite Turbo is radiofrequency-assisted liposuction. A cannula under the skin and an electrode on the surface pass radiofrequency energy between them, melting fat and heating the connective tissue so it contracts. The fat is then removed by gentle suction. It is a surgical procedure carried out in theatre through small entry points.
How is BodyTite Turbo different from the original BodyTite?
BodyTite Turbo is the newer generation of the same radiofrequency-assisted liposuction system. It is designed to deliver energy more efficiently, which can shorten treatment time. The principle is unchanged: fat is melted and removed while the tissue under the skin is heated to contract. Dr Anthony can explain the device differences at consultation.
Which areas can BodyTite Turbo treat?
Common areas include the abdomen, flanks, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, knees, the male chest and under the chin. It is most effective where there is a moderate amount of fat with some loose skin over it. Areas with firm skin are often better treated with VASER, and loose skin with little fat with QuantumRF.
What anaesthetic is used for BodyTite Turbo?
BodyTite Turbo is usually performed under local anaesthetic with IV sedation, given by an anaesthetist at Langham Hospital. You are relaxed and comfortable, breathing on your own, without a general anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day and need someone to accompany them home.
What is recovery like after BodyTite Turbo?
Expect swelling, bruising and soreness for the first few days. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and strenuous exercise after two to three weeks. A compression garment is worn for four to six weeks. Swelling and skin tightening continue to settle over three to six months.
How long do BodyTite Turbo results last?
Fat cells removed during the procedure do not return, although the remaining fat cells can enlarge if you gain weight. The tightening comes from contracted tissue and new collagen, which is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues. Keeping a stable weight is the most effective way to protect your result.
Is BodyTite Turbo better than VASER?
Neither is better in general; they suit different tissue. VASER is well suited to sculpting and removing fat where the skin has good tone. BodyTite Turbo suits moderate fat with some laxity. Quantum Vaser Lipo combines VASER shaping with QuantumRF tightening. Dr Anthony recommends an approach after examining you.
What are the risks of BodyTite Turbo?
Bruising, swelling, numbness and firmness are common. Less common risks include burns, seroma, haematoma, contour irregularity, raised scars, infection and, rarely, blood clots. A 2024 review of 236 BodyTite patients reported burns in 4.2% of cases. Careful technique and temperature monitoring reduce risk, and Dr Anthony will discuss yours in detail.
How much does BodyTite Turbo cost?
The cost depends on the number of areas and whether BodyTite Turbo is added to Vaser 4D Lipo. Your full price is confirmed in writing after consultation, with hospital theatre fees and IV sedation itemised. Our price list shows current fees, and finance is available through Chrysalis Finance for eligible patients.
