AccuTite vs. Traditional Liposuction: Which is Better for You?

What is AccuTite?

AccuTite is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatment for skin tightening and fat removal.

It uses a special technology, radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL). This delivers targeted heat energy to body tissues. This shrinks the skin tissue and stimulates collagen formation, making your skin look more youthful and contoured.

AccuTite targets smaller areas of the skin including:

• Face
• Neck
• Jowls
• Labia Majora and Minora
• Bra Fat

What is Traditional Liposuction?

Traditional Liposuction is a surgical procedure that breaks and removes fat deposits from the body. It is also called Lipoplasty, Liposculpture Suction, or Lipo.

During Traditional Liposuction, a cannula is inserted into the body through an incision. A high-pressure vacuum is attached to the end of the cannula and is used to suck out the broken-up fat cells.

Traditional Liposuction permanently removes fat cells. This contours the body. However, if this isn’t maintained by healthy lifestyle choices, new fat cells will accumulate.

This isn’t supposed to be a weight loss method. It is best done for those who have a stable weight.

This procedure is done under general anesthesia and it takes some time to recover.

Treatment areas include:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Back
• Chest
• Inner knee
• Upper Arms

AccuTite vs. Traditional Liposuction: Key Comparisons

You may be confused about what treatment option is best for you between AccuTite and Traditional Liposuction. Here are some differences. With this, you can make an informed choice on what procedure to undertake.

• Invasiveness: AccuTite and Traditional liposuction are minimally invasive. They involve using a cannula to repeatedly go on and out of the skin to remove fat tissues. AccuTite adds RF energy to its treatment method.
• Precision: Both AccuTite and liposuction target small, delicate areas of the body. They remove fat cells from these subtle areas. The radiofrequency heat in AccuTite leads to further tightening and long-term results.
• Downtime & Recovery: Both treatments require only a short recovery time, allowing most patients to feel better within a few days and fully resume activities in about two weeks.
• Scarring: With AccuTite, there is little or no scarring. This is because the treatment is minimally invasive. 
• Results Timeline: With liposuction and AccuTite, the fat pockets are broken up and removed. This produces immediate results. You will see the impact of the treatment at once.

In AccuTite, there is some extra long-term benefit. As new collagen starts to form, the skin is tightened even further. The best results are seen at 10-12 months.

• Anesthesia: AccuTite and Traditional liposuction are minimally invasive procedures. It doesn’t cause a lot of pain. There is no need to use general anesthesia for this procedure. Local anesthetics are good enough to relieve the discomfort of this treatment.
• Cost: Generally, Traditional Liposuction costs less than AccuTite treatment. 

The cost of the treatment depends on several factors: the treatment area, the expertise of the surgeon/applicator, and the geographic location of the center.
