WHAT IS FACETITE™?
FaceTite™ is a minimally invasive facial contouring procedure that aims to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of sagging or loose skin on the face and neck. The procedure uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) technology to deliver targeted energy underneath the skin. The device consists of a cannula, which is inserted under the skin, and an external electrode that stays on the skin’s surface. When activated, the FaceTite™ device heats the tissue to stimulate collagen production and contract the skin, which in turn leads to a tighter and more youthful appearance. The procedure is often touted as an alternative to more invasive options, such as facelifts, and usually involves less downtime and fewer side effects. However, the results may not be as dramatic as those obtained through surgical methods. Patients may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising after the procedure, but these side effects are generally temporary. Always consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if FaceTite™ or any other aesthetic procedure is appropriate for you. Keep in mind that technologies and techniques in cosmetic procedures evolve, so more recent information may be available.
FaceTite is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target and tighten loose or sagging skin on the face and neck. The procedure aims to achieve results that are comparable to a surgical facelift but without the need for large incisions, extensive downtime, or significant surgical risks.
It’s always important to consult with a certified plastic surgeon experienced in FaceTite to discuss the procedure, its benefits, risks, and whether it’s the right choice for you.
HOW FACETITE WORKS?
- Radio-frequency Energy: FaceTite uses a device that delivers RF energy below the skin’s surface. This energy heats the underlying tissues, causing collagen contraction and promoting collagen production. The result is tighter, smoother skin.
- Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves making tiny incisions through which a thin probe is inserted beneath the skin. This probe delivers the RF energy, ensuring it reaches the targeted tissues.
- Reduced Downtime: Unlike a traditional surgical facelift, FaceTite typically has a shorter recovery period. There may still be some swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but it’s generally less severe than that of more invasive surgeries.
- Results: The tightening effect can often be seen immediately after the procedure, but optimal results, especially from collagen production, might take a few months to become fully apparent.
- Safety: Like all procedures, FaceTite carries some risks, but they are usually minor when compared to surgical interventions. Potential side effects can include bruising, swelling, pain, and the risk of burns from the RF energy, though the latter is rare when performed by an experienced practitioner.
- Duration: The procedure can usually be done in an hour or two, depending on the areas treated.
DISCLAIMER: RESULTS AND PATIENT EXPERIENCE MAY VARY. THESE ARE DEPENDENT ON SEVERAL FACTORS SUCH AS AGE, MEDICAL HISTORY AND LIFESTYLE.
