Remove Fat + Tighten Skin — Without General Anesthesia
No General Anesthesia
No Hospital Stay
Minimal Downtime
Skin Tightening Built into the Procedure
Many people assume liposuction alone will give them smooth, tight results.
But removing fat does not guarantee tight skin.
After fat is removed, the skin that once stretched over it may not fully retract — especially if you:
This can leave patients slimmer but with:
Traditional liposuction only solves half the problem.
Dr. Zelko’s TickleTite™ procedure was developed specifically to address both fat removal and skin tightening in one treatment.
*Individual results may vary.
TickleTite™ is Dr. Zelko’s signature body contouring procedure that combines two advanced technologies:
Step 1: Gentle Fat Removal (Tickle Liposuction)
Fat is removed using a vibrating micro-cannula, which allows precise removal of fat with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue.
Patients often describe the sensation as a “tickling feeling”, which is where the procedure gets its name.
Benefits include:
Tickle Lipo uses only blunt cannulas and vibration to remove fat. Compared to Traditional liposuction which uses sharp instruments to cut and chunk fat causing severe damage to blood vessels, nerves and skin support structures and heat-based techniques ( ie Lasers and VASER) which burn surrounding tissue.
Step 2: Skin Tightening with Renuvion
In over 90% of Dr. Zelko’s liposuction procedures, he incorporates Renuvion technology to tighten skin after fat removal.
Renuvion uses a precise combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to create a powerful tightening effect.
This produces three-dimensional skin contraction that continues improving over several months.
Results include:
Think of it as “shrink-wrapping the skin from the inside.”
Most plastic surgeons perform liposuction as a fat removal procedure only.
Dr. Zelko focuses on body contouring results, which means addressing both fat and skin quality.
What sets his approach apart:
Many patients are surprised to learn they do not actually need a full tummy tuck to achieve dramatic contour improvement.
Dr. Zelko can also perform 360° body contouring, treating multiple areas in a single session.
TickleTite™ can be used to contour multiple areas of the body, including:
TickleTite™ is performed in-office using local anesthesia. Patients remain fully awake but comfortable. Many listen to music, podcasts, or simply relax during the procedure.
Recovery Timeline:
Days 1-3: Mild soreness similar to an intense workout.
Days 3–5: Most patients return to desk work.
Weeks 2–4: Swelling improves and activity gradually returns.
Months 2–4: Skin tightening continues as collagen production increases.
No Downtime, No Pain, Just Results - Changing Lives
