«FaceTite is the first device of its kind approved by the FDA, which uses radiofrequency energy to simultaneously heat both internal and external tissues. This minimally invasive technique tightens the skin, melts fat, and stimulates the production of new collagen.«

What is FaceTite?

FaceTite combines fat reduction techniques and skin tightening to help contour the face and achieve a more toned and youthful appearance. Rejuvenate 10 years in 1 hour.

FaceTite utilizes Radiofrequency-Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL), or minimally invasive radiofrequency, eliminating fat through the heat generated by radiofrequency and stimulating the collagen in the skin to help combat sagging.

It is a minimally invasive procedure that offers the same results as a mini facelift without large scars.

It is ideal for rejuvenating the face and neck, improving sagging in nasolabial folds, cheeks, mouth, forehead, and jawline.

For more delicate and small areas of the face, such as the eye contour, a smaller version of RFAL called AccuTite is typically used to tighten and tone that area.

Depending on your needs, the surgeon may recommend a combination of FaceTite and AccuTite.

It is also a technology that can be combined with high-definition liposuction using Microaire PAL and neck tightening with FaceTite for jawline definition and wrinkle tightening.

Considered one of the most advanced and safe facial rejuvenation and contouring procedures, it avoids the potential complications of a more invasive facelift.

How is the FaceTite Procedure Performed?

First, the patient will be given light sedation. Then, a small device the size of a number 16 needle is inserted with electrodes to emit radiofrequency waves that will liquefy fat cells and also help stimulate collagen fibers beneath the skin.

The skin naturally loses collagen with age, which can increase the appearance of pores, age spots, and wrinkles. Recovering collagen can help your skin look toned and smoother.

The procedure involves no cuts and leaves no scars. It takes about 1 hour to complete and is outpatient, so the patient can go home once the sedation wears off. Some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort can be expected within the first few days after the procedure.

What to Expect After FaceTite?

Once the procedure is complete, the surgeon will place a compression garment that you will wear at home. These help ensure that your skin heals and tightens as it should.

You can go home the same day as your FaceTite procedure, but you may want to have someone drive you.

During the post-FaceTite recovery, patients may experience mild pain, bruising, swelling, numbness, and itching in the targeted areas. The most common side effects will improve significantly during the first week. The texture of the skin may feel slightly uneven for at least 2 to 3 weeks as the skin contracts and adapts during the healing process. Patients can typically resume their usual activities within 48 hours and return to work in 5 to 7 days. Minor incisions do not require stitches and heal quickly, generally leaving no visible scars. The application of cold compresses is recommended to help reduce swelling and to wear the provided compression garment as instructed.

Results can be seen from 2 to 4 months. However, the final results of a FaceTite treatment will continue to develop over the next 6 months, as the production of elastin and collagen provides ongoing improvement in skin laxity.

FaceTite rejuvenates 10 years in 1 hour, and results can last up to 8 years.

On average, patients can enjoy their new appearance for about 8 years, especially if they take care of their skin, use sunscreen daily, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. FaceTite sessions can also be repeated as needed over the years, as the effects of skin aging continue to develop.

FaceTite can be easily combined with other non-surgical options. We always recommend visiting us each year to evaluate your skin conditions and perform hydration and collagen stimulation treatments or Botox application to prolong the effects of the procedure.
