Best Liposuction and Fat Transfer Equipment for Plastic Surgeons (2026): Renuvion, BodyTite and 6 More Compared

For plastic surgeons, practice administrators and surgical directors. Updated October 22, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not surgical equipment, and none of the manufacturers below is a Prospyr product or partner. This guide compares eight companies that sell energy-assisted liposuction (including Apyx Medical's Renuvion and InMode's BodyTite), power-assisted liposuction and fat transfer systems to US plastic surgery practices. Each summary reflects what the company publishes on its own website, checked October 2026, cross-checked against the FDA's 510(k) database. Indications, configurations, pricing and service terms change, so get every number and every cleared indication in writing before you buy.

What liposuction and fat transfer equipment does a plastic surgery practice need?

A plastic surgery practice that offers liposuction needs three groups of equipment: a way to infiltrate tumescent fluid and aspirate fat (an infiltration pump, an aspirator and cannulas), a device that makes fat removal less manual (power-assisted or ultrasound-assisted liposuction), and, if the practice grafts fat, a closed system to collect, wash or filter and reinject it. Some practices add an energy device for soft tissue contraction or coagulation, such as Renuvion or BodyTite. These devices are FDA-cleared through the 510(k) pathway, each for specific indications, so the clearance letter matters as much as the brochure. Most of this equipment is sold through a quote, not a price list.

The 8 liposuction and fat transfer systems at a glance

How we chose this list

We looked for manufacturers that sell liposuction, energy-assisted body contouring or fat transfer equipment to US surgical practices and publish real product detail on their own site. We then checked each against the FDA's 510(k) database and compared four things a practice administrator can confirm before a demo: the cleared indication, what the system includes, what it publishes about consumables and service, and whether pricing or ordering terms are visible. We left out noninvasive body contouring devices (see our list of body contouring machines), used-equipment resellers and companies whose products we could not match to a US clearance or US sales page. The order is our editorial view, not a measure of surgical results.

Renuvion vs. BodyTite: what is the difference?

Both are minimally invasive energy devices used under the skin, and both are cleared for soft tissue contraction or coagulation, but they work differently. Renuvion, from Apyx Medical, delivers radiofrequency energy and helium plasma through a handpiece; its APR Handpiece holds a clearance that names use "following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring." BodyTite, from InMode, uses what InMode calls RadioFrequency Assisted Lipo-coagulation (RFAL) on its IgniteRF workstation, and InMode states it is indicated for procedures "where contraction of soft tissue or hemostasis is needed." Neither replaces the infiltration and aspiration equipment covered below. Ask each company for the clearance letter and the cleared indication for the exact handpiece you plan to use.

1Apyx Medical (Renuvion and AYON)#

Apyx Medical, based in Clearwater, Florida, sells Renuvion, which its site describes as pairing helium plasma with proprietary radiofrequency energy to heat the layers beneath the skin. Apyx states Renuvion is "the only device FDA-cleared for use after liposuction." The FDA's 510(k) database lists the Renuvion APR Handpiece under K230272 (April 2023), indicated "for the coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissues following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring," and under an earlier clearance (K220970, July 2022) for subcutaneous procedures "to improve the appearance of lax (loose) skin in the neck and submental region." The FDA also cleared a smaller Renuvion Micro Handpiece (K230586, June 2023).

What stands out:

• One console option. Apyx also sells the AYON Body Contouring System, which its page describes as combining ultrasound-assisted liposuction, power liposuction, Renuvion, electrosurgery and tumescent infiltration. The FDA cleared AYON under K244050 (May 2025) for "the fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of subcutaneous fatty tissue for the purpose of aesthetic body contouring," and added a power liposuction sub-system under K253396 (May 2026).
• Standalone or combined. Apyx states Renuvion can be used on its own or within AYON.
• Published regulatory history. The FDA issued safety communications about Renuvion in 2022 and updated them in May 2023, after the clearances above. Read the current FDA page before you buy.

Right for: practices that want a contraction step after liposuction with a clearance that names it, or a single console for several steps of body contouring. Ask: the price of AYON versus a standalone Renuvion generator, per-case handpiece and helium costs, and what surgeon training is required before first use.

2InMode (BodyTite on IgniteRF)#

InMode, headquartered in Yokneam, Israel, sells BodyTite as part of its IgniteRF workstation, alongside FaceTite and AccuTite for smaller areas and the Morpheus8 Burst fractional applicators. InMode describes BodyTite IgniteRF as "powered by RadioFrequency Assisted Lipo-coagulation (RFAL) for the treatment of larger body areas" and states it is "indicated for dermatological and general surgical procedures where contraction of soft tissue or hemostasis is needed." The FDA's 510(k) database lists the Ignite RF System under K251254 (January 2026) with that same indication.

What stands out:

• Handpieces by area. InMode lists BodyTite for larger areas, FaceTite with a non-aspirating cannula for small areas, and AccuTite as the smallest RFAL device. It also lists a BodyTite Turbo handpiece, which it says has a more rigid cannula, 50% more power and a 40% longer cannula.
• Temperature feedback. The FDA summary for the InMode RF System describes "integral temperature and impedance feedback" that adjusts energy delivery, and states the handpieces are single-use.
• Same base, other procedures. QuantumRF and Morpheus8 applicators run on the same workstation, which can matter if the practice also does minimally invasive face work.

Right for: surgical practices that already use, or plan to use, InMode devices and want subdermal RF contraction with liposuction. Ask: which handpieces ship with IgniteRF, the per-case cost of single-use handpieces, and whether the workstation is sold or placed under a usage agreement.

3Solta Medical (VASERlipo)#

Solta Medical, based in Bothell, Washington, sells VASERlipo, an ultrasound-assisted liposuction system. Solta states, "VASERlipo is used to break up and remove fatty tissue for aesthetic body contouring." The FDA's 510(k) database lists the VASERlipo System under K190551 (May 2019), intended "for the fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of subcutaneous fatty tissue for the purpose of aesthetic body contouring," with a VentX console for suction and aspiration that can also run as a stand-alone system. Solta also holds a separate clearance for a PowerX Lipo System (K190555, May 2019).

What stands out:

• Console features. Solta's provider page lists continuous and pulsed ultrasound energy, an infiltration and aspiration console with suction pressure control, infiltrate volume tracking up to 4,500 mL, a peristaltic infiltration pump and a rack for up to four 1,250 cc canisters.
• Fat grafting references. The page cites published work on fat harvested with ultrasound-assisted liposuction for grafting.
• Service policy. Solta states it does not support servicing of third-party units, and its main site says it does not authorize third-party resellers in the US.

Right for: practices that want ultrasound-assisted liposuction from a company that also sells Thermage and Fraxel. Ask: the price of VASERlipo with VentX, which probes and cannulas are included, and the service contract terms after the warranty.

4MicroAire (PAL power-assisted liposuction)#

MicroAire, based in Charlottesville, Virginia, sells the PAL power-assisted liposuction system, which it says has been "trusted to shorten procedure times and reduce surgeon fatigue" for over 25 years. Its current 7020 PAL Console connects up to two PAL handpieces, aspiration and infiltration pumps and two foot pedals. The FDA's 510(k) database lists the PAL 7020 Console under K244026 (April 2025), with separate clearances for the PAL Aspiration System (K242804, December 2024) and PAL Infiltration System (K220318, October 2022).

What stands out:

• Handpiece specs. MicroAire lists the PAL-750 handpiece at a 3.2 mm stroke length and 4,000 to 5,000 cycles per minute.
• Published service terms. It lists a two-year handpiece warranty and five years of complimentary loaner equipment during repairs for US customers.
• Fat transfer. Its PAL Synergy page lists harvesting cannulas and LipoFilter, a gravity-decant fat processing system with a 2,500 ml maximum use capacity (LipoFilter is listed in the FDA database under K150779).

Right for: practices that want power-assisted liposuction with service terms in writing before the first call. Ask: the quote for console, handpiece and pumps together, whether PAL-750 is available in your region yet (the page says it is not in all regions), and cannula pricing.

5Black & Black Surgical (Vitruvian Liposaber)#

Black & Black Surgical, based in the Atlanta area, sells plastic surgery instruments and a Vitruvian line of liposuction equipment: the Liposaber power liposuction handpiece and control unit, the Vitruvian Ultimate Aspirator and the Vitruvian Infiltration Pump. The FDA's 510(k) database lists the Vitruvian Liposaber under K240188 (September 2024) for "aesthetic body contouring," the aspirator under K161722 (2016) and the infiltration pump under K170629 (2017).

What stands out:

• Specs on the page. It lists a 3 mm reciprocating stroke adjustable up to 5,000 rpm in 100 rpm steps, a 1 lb handpiece and a 3.7 lb control unit.
• Cannulas and trays. It sells reusable, autoclavable power lipo cannulas and single- and double-level sterilization trays sized for the handpiece.
• Instruments in one order. The same catalog covers procedure sets for breast, face lift, blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty.

Right for: practices that want power liposuction and their surgical instruments from one supplier. Ask: the price once you register, the warranty terms on the linked warranty page, and loaner availability during repairs.

6Allergan Aesthetics (REVOLVE)#

Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, sells the REVOLVE Advanced Adipose System, which it describes as "an integrated system for high-quality fat processing." Its site states the system is for "aspiration, harvesting, filtering, and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring," is prescription only, and is intended for physicians with "the appropriate level of medical education and surgical experience." The FDA's 510(k) database lists the REVOLVE ENVI 600 Advanced Adipose System under K193539 (May 2020), submitted by LifeCell.

What stands out:

• Published labeling. Allergan links the REVOLVE instructions for use and user manual from its site, so you can read them before a meeting.
• Provider resources. It points providers to a separate REVOLVE fat grafting resource site.

Right for: practices that already buy from Allergan Aesthetics and want a fat grafting system from the same rep. Ask: the per-case price of REVOLVE devices, compatible aspiration equipment (the FDA summary states it is used with a legally marketed vacuum or aspirator), and what in-service training is included.

7Bimini Health Tech (PureGraft)#

Bimini Health Tech, based in Plano, Texas, sells the PureGraft fat filtration family. Its site states the PureGraft System is "indicated for use in the harvesting, filtering, and transferring of autologous fat tissue" "for reinjecting back into the same patient for aesthetic body contouring," and that it is "FDA 510(k) cleared." The FDA's 510(k) database lists PureGraft systems under K113255 (2012) and K132815 (2014), originally submitted by Cytori Therapeutics.

What stands out:

• Sizes by procedure. PureGraft 50 for small-volume transfer, 250 for mid-volume and 850 for large-volume, plus PureGraft SYNC, a single-use system that harvests up to 500 mL into a sealed canister.
• Process time. Bimini states one physician and one nurse can process 50 to 850 mL in 10 to 15 minutes in a closed, sterile system.
• Office option. It also lists Dermapose, an office-based system for harvesting, purifying and injecting micro fat.

Right for: practices that graft fat across a range of volumes and want one filtration family. Ask: per-unit price by size, whether SYNC has its own clearance, and how PureGraft connects to your current aspiration setup.

8Tulip Medical (fat harvesting and transfer)#

Tulip Medical, based in San Diego, California, sells cannulas and kits for harvesting and preparing fat. Its Tulip GOLD kit is a single-use, closed syringe system for office-based harvesting, which Tulip says can produce microfat or be processed into nanofat. Tulip's pages did not state an FDA clearance when we checked, and we did not find a Tulip Medical entry in the FDA's 510(k) database; ask Tulip for the regulatory status of each product you plan to use.

What stands out:

• Online ordering. Tulip sells through its online shop and authorized retailers.
• Training. It offers virtual demos and team training on request.

Right for: practices that do small-volume, syringe-based fat grafting in the office. Ask: the regulatory status and labeling of each kit and cannula, the price per kit, and what training is included.

Questions to ask any liposuction or fat transfer equipment company

1. What exactly is cleared? Ask for the 510(k) number and the indication for each console, handpiece and kit in writing, and look them up in the FDA's 510(k) database yourself. Keep patient-facing claims within them.
2. What does each case cost? Single-use handpieces, cannulas, filtration bags, canisters, tubing and helium add up. Get a per-case cost sheet.
3. What is in the base price? Pumps, foot pedals, carts, canister racks and sterilization trays are often quoted separately.
4. What training comes with it? Ask how many surgeons and surgical team members are trained, whether training happens in your OR, and how proctoring works for the first cases.
5. What happens when it breaks? Get warranty length, loaner policy and repair turnaround in writing. Compare against extended warranty providers and sterilization and instrument services.
6. Will it pay for itself? Model case volume, per-case cost and fee with our equipment ROI calculator, and compare a lease against a purchase with the equipment lease vs. buy calculator. For lenders, see our list of aesthetic equipment financing companies.
7. Where will you operate? Facility accreditation and anesthesia requirements for liposuction vary by state. If you work with outside anesthesia, see our list of mobile anesthesia groups.

Where Prospyr fits

Liposuction and fat transfer cases run on more than equipment: consults, deposits, consent, photos, surgery dates and post-op follow-up all have to line up. Prospyr keeps that on one patient record, with deposits at booking, digital intake and consent before surgery, operative and post-op notes in the aesthetic EMR, and before-and-after photos in the media archive. It also tracks supplies such as cannulas and single-use handpieces in inventory management. Prospyr does not bill insurance. To see it with your surgical workflow, book a practice demo.

For recovery, see our lists of compression garments after surgery and plastic surgery recovery homes.

Frequently asked questions

What is Renuvion used for?

Apyx Medical's Renuvion APR Handpiece is FDA-cleared for the delivery of radiofrequency energy and/or helium plasma where coagulation or contraction of soft tissue is needed, including "for the coagulation of subcutaneous soft tissues following liposuction for aesthetic body contouring" (K230272) and for subcutaneous procedures to improve the appearance of lax skin in the neck and submental region. The FDA has also published safety communications about Renuvion; read the current version and the device labeling before use.

Is BodyTite FDA-cleared?

InMode states BodyTite IgniteRF is indicated for dermatological and general surgical procedures where contraction of soft tissue or hemostasis is needed, and the FDA's 510(k) database lists the Ignite RF System under K251254 (January 2026) with that indication. The FDA's device identifier database also lists BodyTite Pro as in commercial distribution under several InMode RF System clearances.

What is the difference between power-assisted and ultrasound-assisted liposuction?

Power-assisted liposuction uses a motorized handpiece that moves the cannula back and forth, such as MicroAire PAL or the Vitruvian Liposaber. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses ultrasound energy to fragment and emulsify fat before aspiration, such as VASERlipo or the ultrasound sub-system in AYON. Some practices own both; ask each company which cleared indications and cannulas apply.

How much does liposuction equipment cost?

None of the eight companies on this list publishes a list price for its liposuction or fat transfer system. Black & Black Surgical shows pricing after you register an account, and Tulip sells through an online shop. Ask for a quote that includes per-case consumables, service and training together.

Want your company considered?

We review this list quarterly. Companies that make or distribute liposuction, energy-assisted body contouring or fat transfer equipment for plastic surgery practices can send their website and what they offer practices to info@prospyrmed.com. Inclusion is editorial and not paid.
