What is FaceTite?

FaceTite is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to help reduce the effects of sagging and wrinkling skin. The targeted areas generally include the face, neck, and underneath the chin. By using radiofrequency energy and gentle heat, fat cells are successfully destroyed, contracting the skin and causing an increase in collagen production. Each appointment takes about 45 minutes per area treated, and patients typically see results soon after their first treatment. You can expect to see full results in 3-6 months.

All About FaceTite

FaceTite requires less invasive incisions than a traditional facelift and uses radiofrequency and liposuction to help tighten the skin. Although FaceTite is considered a safe technology, you should expect some mild bruising and discomfort after the procedure. However, these effects can easily be treated with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medication approved by your doctor.

FaceTite is also incredibly convenient when combined with other treatments that can be completed within a few hours. Plus, you are free to go home within the same day.

How FaceTite Technology Works

FaceTite is a great anti-aging option for people with little to moderate amounts of loose skin and fat on the face and neck areas. It’s considered a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to provide a more toned and youthful appearance.

A local anesthetic is applied during the procedure to numb the area to be treated and keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. A cannula, or a small hand-held tool with internal and external electrode mechanisms, is then inserted through a tiny incision beneath the skin. The radiofrequency energy heats the fat in the designated treatment area to 60 degrees Celsius, successfully destroying the fat cells. Once the fat is liquefied, it is removed through suction.
