What are the benefits of FaceTite?

FaceTite can give your face a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance without significant intervention or surgery. For many people, FaceTite is a preferred option to traditional cosmetic surgery procedures like a facelift. This minimally invasive procedure helps reduce sagging skin and wrinkles on the lower face by combining radiofrequency waves and liposuction in an innovative device. It involves fewer incisions than other procedures and can help promote tighter, smoother-looking skin with minimal scarring or downtime. As a result, those concerned about visible signs of aging may prefer this alternative over more invasive treatments. Benefits include the following:

Short recovery time

Sculpts the jawline to achieve a firm, youthful definition
No scarring
Smooths wrinkles and fine lines
Revitalize the appearance by tightening, renewing, and refreshing the skin

What happens during the FaceTite procedure?

The FaceTite procedure typically takes an hour or two and is administered with a thin probe inserted into a tiny incision along the patient’s target area.

The procedure begins with local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and can relax during the treatment. Once this takes effect, a small incision is made. The area is then injected with a small amount of salt water combined with numbing medication. The FaceTite device is inserted through this incision and emits radiofrequency waves to heat and destroy unwanted fat cells while stimulating collagen production. A separate cannula suctions out the liquefied fat, leaving the area more sculpted, firm, and contoured, ultimately revitalizing the skin over time as collagen rebuilds the skin structure from within.

What is the recovery for FaceTite?

Recovery varies from person to person. Following a FaceTite treatment, patients may experience short-term swelling, but the entire process is designed to have minimal pain and discomfort throughout recovery. Patients typically feel comfortable enough to return home within 1-2 hours after the procedure is completed.

There will be swelling and bruising for about a week after your FaceTite procedure. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work within two or three days of their procedure. However, this depends on the number of areas treated.

Results after FaceTite?

Results will be seen after the swelling fades within about a week of treatment. You will notice more defined features and sculpted facial contours. These results will continue to improve over the following months as your skin rebuilds itself. You will see tighter, more glowing, healthy-quality skin. Results last for up to five years.
